Tony Ferguson ???

[Madham]

hi i am very interested in joing Tony Ferguson, i have read a fair bit about it online, i am wondering who has tried it?
who succeeded with it?
who didnt? and why?
Pros and Cons really, i have alot of weigh to lose and i think this will give me a good start.

Yep, its a good start as long as you have a long term plan in mind, and something that you can continue with when you stop TF.

After having DS1 I was 23 kilos above my pre baby weight. I lost 19 kilos on TF, in 4-5 months. I put about 5 back on when I stopped and stayed around that weight until I fell pg with DS

The time (i lost weight) before that I lost 23 kilos on my own (gym and a WW-like group caled T.O.W.N), to get my pre-baby weight, and I kept all of that off for six months.

ITs very easy to lose weight on TF, but it can be easy to put it all on again.
Its the fact that the diet is so restricitve, when you stop you want to eat some of the things you ate before. Just a few...it can very easily spiral and thats why you need to have a long term plan.

This is any fast weight loss program, not just TF.

ETA: now that I've had DS2, I'm looking at something called metabolic jumpstart which sounds good. And no I dont work for them.

I havent joined yet, i am planning on only doing it for a month and then just following my WW books. I feel i just need a good start to keep me moitvated.

I used it before my wedding and found it to be really good. I lost a fair bit of weight. Didn't find that I was hungry. HTH xxx

I have been on it, but gave up I think it was after day 4. My head was spinning and I was starving and my breathe was so embarrassing !!!! I have been tempted also the last few days to start it again and give it another try. But then if you eat well you should see the same results. I have known many people to do it and I would say more then 3/4 have put the weight back on. But if it works for you and you can keep it off then go for it.

I did TF for about 8 weeks, I lost 10kg & then got a BFP so had to stop. But I do plan on going back on it when I finish feeding Pie, like you I really need the kick-start, I am hoplessly unmotivated otherwise.
Long-term, I think I will probably keep using some of it, their shakes are quite nice & suit me very well for an easy breakfast or lunch, one of my biggest problems is quick healthy stuff & no time especially in the morning. But a shake, I can do, you know?

its really expensive to join and buy all the stuff you need each week.

Regarding 'all the water' i just wanted to assure abb that it's not an unusually high amount of water (2L) it's the normal amount people should drink each day.

[Madham]

Thanks Pandora
I am a good water drinker anyway so i have no problem with the water. My biggest problem with diets is all in my head, i think about food constantly as soon as i am on a diet. I love food and this is one of the things i am concerned about with TF, but willingy to give it a go for a few weeks. I have done WW a few times and still have the books so will probably do that when i have done a few weeks with TF.
What is metabolic jumpstart by the way? never heard of it.

[Pandora]

its a plan where you do an onine questionairre (pretty thorough by all accounts) and their dieticians/nutritionists work out your optimum amount of calories per day, based on how much and how fast you want to lose weight. The minimum diet plan is 1200 cal /day

But theres not set eating plan its more like 'x amount of carb serves, x protien, y diary etc, with guidance around what is classed as a serve. So you eat what you want within the guidelines.

Im serioulsy thinking about tf for 4 weeks, then that one.
