I have my MFP settings on metric, because I always knew what I used to weigh in metric rather than imperial. But I tend to interchange between metric and imperial on here, because many of my MFPeeps are in US/Canada/UK where they are more familiar with certain measurements. When I started on MFP I was 113.8kg and I knew…

Have you whip my lazy butt into shape!

Sorry... I thought that was the US equivalent of what we in the UK call Bingo Wings:laugh:... I was looking on tips for tightening those guns! sorry wrong message strand :wink:

Man has been "processing" foods for a long time - maybe not that long in evolutionary terms - but the fact is we've been preparing foods, churning butter, fermenting cheese, filleting and curing meats, smoking fish, meats and cheese etc. As we've become wealthier and food has been mass-produced and industrial processes…

This was how it was when I lived in the Netherlands. I've never spoken Dutch with a Scots or English accent (although I can for effect, just as I can speak English with a Dutch accent). I'd meet people socially and be chatting away to them and then maybe I'd hit a word block or say something slightly odd and then I'd get…

Buggered if I know... did they not come with instructions? I'm guessing you pinch your inch and measure it with the callipers and the calibration will tell you your BF%??? :ohwell:

I think it gets a worst press than it really is... although never having been there, I could be totally wrong.

Amazing... simply amazing!!! and I'd kill for guns like yours :bigsmile:

It's actually very simple: it's fear that leads to hate. Fear of the unknown. Fear of change. Fear of anything different. There is also blind faith, which for most devoutly religious folks seems to determine what they can or cannot support/tolerate and strips them of their free-will and rationale. Fear like this is an…

I listen to the radio almost all day until 7pm. Here in the UK, BBC Radio 2 is the most listened to station and I've been a R2 listener since the 1970s. It's music and chat based with a 2 hour - debate programme at lunchtime. I get most of my news from the BBC online and from other online sources. I don't read newspapers,…

I've kept my neck, chest and waist measurements since I started this process and I usually take the measurements once a month or if I perceive a change. I have noticed that my guns are a lot firmer than this time last year (when they were covered in layers of FAT) and Jem noticed my calves and thighs were a lot tighter way…

:laugh: Now there's a sight I'd pay to see!!! :wink:

Thanks, if we ever do make it to BC we'll take you up on that offer.:bigsmile: I've a cousin that lives outside of Vancouver (although she also spends half the year now in Nova Scotia) and I've always fancied a visit. Was actually hoping to go this year, but other things got in the way! :ohwell:

I've only really dipped in and out of this show but one episode was two women - one who was tall and very curvaceous while the other was skinny and petite. The skinny woman ate very little, insofar as she picked at her food and often ate meals which were nutritionally lacking and sadly this is what she was feeding her…

You actually look 10 yrs younger and your starting pics made you look much more middle-aged than late 30s. You should be really proud of your achievements! :bigsmile:

I didn't click on the link, but here's my two-pence worth anyhow. I am a gay man. I cannot imagine not being homosexual and I do believe this was my fate. Now, whether or not that was biologically predetermined at birth, I think I can certainly say it wasn't nurture, i.e. I wasn't encouraged to be gay but neither was I…

I grew up in Scotland and speak Scots and English interchangeably, but during my travels I found that some non-Scots didn't always understand me, so I learnt to round my vowels more and enunciate better. I went to University in England (Hull, E Yorks) and I picked up a bit of a Yorkshire accent whist there which it still…

I love the fact they mention they do not support discrimination, yet it's blatantly obvious they are body fascists and only want physically fit members.:noway: I'm sure there are a lot of folks, myself included, who are quite fit and would love to try yoga, but as my BMI is still way above 27 then that would rule me out…

I actually live quite close to Bury St Edmunds. Oh, the UK is awash with wonderful place names, but perhaps it's because many towns in the US are relatively young that they have very modern and utilitarian names:happy:

I've seen messages on the boards where guys have been talking about their fitness regime and getting into shape and then another guy with compliment them on how they've sculpted their body and prefix the comment with nohomo as if straight guys are not allowed to have an opinion about how another man looks without feeling…

Hello to all the newbies to this most exclusive of MFP-subcultures.... I'm just feeling the LOVE in this room!!!:heart: :glasses: I love that there really is a place called Valhalla and also Purchase... amazing!!!

Nope! Nope! and thrice Nope!i I hate my flabby belly, but to go under the knife for a tummy tuck is just not worth it. The scarring can be painful, given that it's usually at or just below your natural panty line. I have thought in the past about getting a mastectomy to correct my gynecomastia, but again I have to ask…

YES!!! I know I've lost a shed load of weight, but sometimes I still feel fat. Of course the MOOBS and FLABBY BELLY don't really help. Sometimes I kid myself that I'm quite trim, but honestly, I'm still a chunky monkey!:noway: :ohwell:

I started cycling and then hit the pool as the summer came to an end. Swimming is most definitely my #1 exercise of choice and I couldn't have lost as much weight so quickly and safely without it :bigsmile: Unfortunately, I can't run as I'm pigeon-toed and if that wasn't bad enough, my ankles give way after about 2 mins…

Fantastic BigMech!! Esp love the webcam collage... shows you shrinking nicely :happy:

I think it's only natural that this would happen, especially given the sensual nature of yoga, but I also think that there comes a point where you get used to being in the company of other naked men. I certainly don't stand to attention when I see the other fit naked guys at the gym :laugh: - * - * - I'm lovin' your…

Live on your left wrist, laugh on the right and love on your left breast above your heart?

In the past 5-10 years certain tattoos have definitely become trendy and I don't think anyone can deny it. The number of kids and young adults with their black-block tatts, dragons or Oriental script/symbols which are straight out of the book and the fact there are chains of tattoo parlours in the high street that sell all…

Let's give this a try! 1) I was born and raised in Scotland but have now lived more than half my life in other countries. 2) I studied Modern Dutch Studies at the University of Hull and have a BA (hons) 3) I used to live in the Netherlands - I speak Dutch to mother-tongue standard with a Rotterdam accent 4) I also speak…

Hmm... I wonder why you would consider the above criteria for tattoos trashy or stupid, yet find a full-back design so appealing? I have a quasi-tribal armband. It's an infinite Celtic knot that I designed myself. The tryskelion is not my own design, but I did adapt it. Both of my tattoos are deeply personal. And as for…
