Do you have a role in the planning of work related meals?  I think these meals will always be a problem if you don't take the opportunity to assert yourself and let your companions know that there are some things that you simply can't eat anymore as you are looking after your health.  It may mean phoning ahead to a restaurant to check if they can help you out with a TF friendly option (including a stack of veggies), avoiding greasies and fast food and venues where they do not serve quality low GI food as an option.

good luck - let us know how you go.

cheers

Week 1 @ 20 June 09 - loss 2.1kg - good start, getting organised was my biggest challenge .
Week 2 @ 27 June 09 - loss 1.7kg (cumulative 3.8kg). Happy with progress - late lunches need to be stopped.
Week 3 @ 4 Jul 09 - loss 1.8kg (cumulative 5.6kg). Light exercise is helping with my progress, starting to get very busy at work.
Week 4 @ 11 July 09 = loss 0.6kg (cumulative 6.2kg). A few sneaky extra pieces of fruit may have caused a slow down.
Week 5 @ 18 July 09 - loss 1.2kg (cumulative 7.4kg). A great result even after taking a day off and living it up at Lizard Island.
Week 6 @ 25 July 09 - no loss or no gain (cumulative 7.4kg) TTOM so no loss is not a big deal for me.
Week 7 @ 1 Aug 09 - loss of 1.8kg (cumulative 9.2kg).  Work clothes are getting quite loose
Week 8 @ 8 Aug 09 - loss of 1.1kg (cumulative 10.3kg).  Woohoo, I can see the 80's from here
Week 9 @ 15 Aug 09- loss of 1kg (cumulative 11.3kg).  Hmmm, when can I buy some new clothes
Week 10 @ 22 Aug 09 - loss of 0.4kg (cumulative 11.7kg).  A half hearted result for a half hearted effort.
Week 11 @ 29 Aug 09 - loss of 0.8kg (cumulative 12.5kg) Well into the 80's now.

So yes, during the work dinner on Wednesday I'll find out where we are going and call ahead getting details of the menu, or I will try and get out of it.  I only started my job, so don't feel comfortable telling anyone there that I'm on Tony Fergusson, but as one person commented it's time to take responsibility - so I will try my hardest to be prepared and combat this on my own for now.  On Friday, I'll be away from the office, so will make sure that I have a bar, fruit and plenty of water in my bag. 

I've contacted my gym trainer again.  He is down witht he flu so can't make tomorrow, but I'll go anyway and do a 30 minute cardio.

So I'm back into this starting tomorrow, as I've run out of TF food and my friend is dropping it off tomorrow.  However, I will get the supermarket today and this week make some additional food which I can freeze.  Less excuse to eat out then as well.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

So I'm at 129.9 now....let's aim for 128.9 for next week
