Insane!
Hello everyone, how are you doing! My first attempt to get back on the wagon failed, but now I am trying again with more willpower. I've re-downloaded Insanity, and in combination with a good diet I'm hoping to lose 5 kg in 2 months and getting that amorphous body back into shape. Enjoy your time in China! Roger
Food suggestions in Chengdu?
Hello All! My name is Courtney and starting this Friday (!) I will be living in China for the semester. I am studying away with my school and will be attending Sichuan University in Chengdu while also doing a small internship at a German Based Wine Company. So far I've lost 8 pounds and I would really prefer to not gain it…
I'm back!
Hello all, it's a little embarrassing but I have to say that I'm back after 7 months doing nothing but snacking, drinking beer and wine, no exercise at all and eating whatever came on my way. Not eating - devouring! You can already see it in my shirt (the wrong side) for a while, and today is the day that this has to stop!…
Estimating calories in 牛肉水餃, boiled beef dumplings
Hi all! Been in China around a year now. I gave up logging for a long while because everything became such a wild guess, but I'm trying to get back on track now! A staple of my diet is boiled dumplings. I get them frozen from fields online grocery. It's not crazy healthy, but it's fast and filling and easy to portion!…
How do you log your food in general?
For example, last night's dinner was.... 1 bowl of white rice. 1 dish - beef and broccoli 1 dish - bak/bok choi 1 dish - fish, steamed I think, but I didn't have the fish anyway. This food is cooked at home as you know you pick at it bit by bit instaed of having your own plate. The food is supposed to be cooked with…
Welcome to MFP in China
Good that you found this group! If you are in China, or if you are planning to move to China and at the same time stay fit, this group might offer some good tips to help you cope. And although China might be to big to get everyone to meet in person, we all have AT LEAST in common that we are far from home, and use MFP.…
Calories for chinese food website
Hi all-- I was searching in Chinese for the calories in an item and I came across this website: http://www.boohee.com/food/ It lists calories for various packaged Chinese foods. You do have to know characters or pinyin for items, but I know I'll use it to save me some calculations!
Weight Training in Shanghai?
Hi all! I'm Melanie, and I'm moving to Shanghai in September! Since joining MFP, I've reached my goal weight, and have set myself a new goal: to reduce body fat percentage to a target level. I've been working pretty hard on weight training, and as a new hobby, I LOVE it. I work with dumbbells, barbells, the smith machine,…
Chinese traffic rules
Traffic in China seems like completely chaos at first. But, after bicycling for 11 months in China, I think I figured it out. There is a system, but there are 5 important differences with the US. 1. At intersections left turning traffic has preferences before straight going traffic. The same with merging traffic, and…
Singapore
I know it's not China but my family and I are heading to Singapore for the upcoming Dragon Boat festival holiday. We will be there from June 8-12. My husband and I are big foodies and our kids eat just about anything. Any tips on what to eat? We'll be walking a ton so I'm not too worried about gaining. Just want to go have…
