Tony Ferguson threw me out of a plane
I weighed in at 150kg and had a waist measurement of 153.5cm. After being on the Program for 9 months I lost 43.4kg. As I started to lose the weight I found plenty of energy to burn and my whole outlook on life was changing so I made the decision that when I got down to 90kg I would do something that I have always wanted to do… skydiving! On March 26th 2008 I reached my goal and jumped out of a plane on March 30th 2008.

Nick
I have lost 14 kilos in 3 months.
The Tony Ferguson Program helped me manage my Diabetes. I was able to help control my sugar levels, was never hungry and was able to do a lot more things I wasn't able to previously. It's really improved my lifestyle and I now know a considerable amount more about healthy eating and hopefully I'll be able to continue this even when I'm off the Program.
Jan
I have lost 28 kilos in 6 months.
I've told my friends about it and they think it's great and they have joined it too and also lost weight. I go for beach walks, I go to exercise class. I couldn't do any of that before for the pain in the back of my legs.
