Hey all,
I'm glade to make this group to get all friends and people who are living within the same area to give all the support to each other.
so, everyone talk breifly about your self so all get to know u
I will start:
My name is Talal, 28 years old, height 164 cm (I know I'm a short LOL), living and born in Bahrain. I never had an issue my weight only until I reached to college few years! approx. I was 22 yrs old! I had lost around 24 kgs so far and trying to maintain my weight to stay the same...I'm looking forward to get rid of some of the fat inside my body and gain lean mass as I want to be ripped and toned! Of course will be happy to have my 6-pack LOL!
Always looking forward to have friends so we can support & motivate each other to get to our goals!
I always keep in my mind that the fitness is a lifestyle and never gonna be a diet for some period of time!
so "Eat Clean, Train Mean, Live Lean"
Good luck everyone!

Hi, I'm a Brit living in Bahrain.... I like to lift heavy things. I used to be obese, got down to about 22% body fat, decided to maintain that for a while, and I'm currently eating for lean mass and strength gains. I'd much rather have a 300lb+ deadlift than 6 pack abs and didn't like the changes in my body going lower than 22% body fat, so I'm not going to go lower than that. My focus is on being strong, fit and healthy, not on aesthetics, although I like how my body looks as well as being able to lift heavy things.
I also really like walking... trouble is the climate here is not really good for that!! Winter's better....0 -

Hi!
I am Terril, currently living in Oman.
I like to constantly challenge myself and lift heavy.
Lately, I've been focusing on cutting while maintaining strength.
The best compliment is when my husband, who I work with and see nearly 24 hours a day, stops and says, "you're looking gooood these days!" The best feeling comes from when I surprise myself at the strength I can achieve if I just STFU and get my bum to the gym!
Glad to meet you all (except Neandermagnon...we're old buddies)!!0 -
Hi Terri nice to meet you0

Talal,
Let me know when you will come,
I am here in UAE since 2008 and I have visited GITEX only one time.0 -
Hi,:flowerforyou:
Am Helen, British/Welsh living in Abu Dhabi since 2011.
Started my weight loss journey earlier this year after a scary asthma attack in February put me in hospital. I realised that if I weighed less and was fitter, I would never have suffered so badly.
I lost 10lbs on my own but plateaued for weeks before embarking on the 5:2 diet and joining MFP as of the 16th June. Since then I have lost another 14lbs and gone down (almost) 2 dress sizes.
Determined not to be the 'fat one' in any more of my friends pictures!!0 -

It's so nice to meet people in the same part of the world!
I'm Sarah, originally from the UK but have lived in the UAE for 22 years - first 2 years in Abu Dhabi and the rest in Dubai. I came out here with my parents and brothers when my dad got a job. We're all still here and my dad is still in the same job!
I've slowly gained a lot of weight since turning 30 - the famous 'Dubai stone' (make that 3!) - but when I turn 40 next February I'd like to be the size I was 10 years ago. I've just started New Rules of Lifting for Women, so I know I won't get back to the same weight, but to get back into all my tiny dresses again would be wonderful!
I'm also doing Eat Stop Eat (like 5:2) which is brilliant and suits me far more than the drudgery of calorie counting for the rest of my life.
Although I've been on MFP for a while, I'm always falling off the wagon so I'm basically starting again from now. But, like Helen, I'm tired of being the fat friend in pictures and I'm determined to be the gorgeous one in my 40th birthday pics :happy: So you all have my permission to give me a kick in the pants every now and then to keep me on track!0 -

Hi all,
My name is Trina. I'm an Australian that's been living in the UAE for six years. I have just turned 33 (literally a couple of days ago!!) and am single with no children. I have a sedentary job.
I was the administrator for the previous group but accidentally deleted the whole thing when I relinquished my admin rights, haha!
I have been on my new lifestyle journey since June 2012 and have lost 17kgs in this time. I haven't had a real workout session since I stopped with my trainer but really need to get back in it. My colleagues have convinced me to run a marathon early next year so I need to get a wriggle on with training!
I love to travel... Currently on a 12 day vacation in Laos and Thailand! :-)
Wishing everyone the best with their goals!!!!!
Cheers
Trina0 -
