    Is there anyone here who is still in China and wouldnt mind me adding them? I am moving to China at the end of August; I'm very excited but nervous about being able to keep my weight normal and also am wondering how easy it is to tell the calorie content on things out there- I don't speak any Chinese at all- YET! (Big goal lol!) Any tips on what to eat and what not to would be amazing- going to re-read through the thread now! I'm so happy there's people in China using MFP! So happy right now! :-)

    Thanks for all of the tips! My son and I are moving to TEDA (outside of Tianjin) at the end of July. :drinker:

    Maybe we should create a China group!

    PLEASE do!!! :-)

    Haha, I have a few more questions for you now.

    On the website you sent me a LOT of the workouts require additional equipment. I was wondering where you bought this (were you in Beijing at the time)?

    Also, this morning I decided to look for a cheap blender. This woman made me a drink with hot water and half a cup of blended soy beans that was REALLY GOOD and low in calories. If you go to Taobao.com you can find this



    for 148 kuai. This is not crazy expensive but not really cheap (note that the rest of them seemed to fall between 4 and 7 thousand kuai for some reason).

    The advice you gave me about the alcohol is actually really helpful. I like many foreigners here end up going to bars a lot and I actually forgot about the calories in all the alcohol and mixers. I am going to try changing to straight gin/ vodka or with lime (really good idea).

    Thanks for the advice!


    Good idea! If you want to lose your weight, you should eat more fruits used the fruit blender, and I found I can shop it directly from a english version site now:

    Hi, I'm in Chongqing and love Taobao to get my stuff from… I took the liberty of starting a group for this who are in China or planning to move there (or for everyone else interested)… Hope you join. The name of the group is "MFP in China"…

    Keep it up everyone!
