  • I am getting married in the village next door to my home town in Germany, it's a "spa/health" town and therefore mainly consists of parks, springs and more parks.. in two of them are buildings that you can rent out to have your civil ceremony and/or events/parties. The parks are kept beautifully with flowerbeds and ponds…
  • Hi All and congrats to all on your engagement! Many thanks to Elizabeth for organising this group/challenge! I really need it! :-) I started my journey on MFP in May 2012 and had a surprise proposal by my Better Half in June 2012 after living together for 5,5 years now! Our wedding is now scheduled for 10th August 2013…
  • DRESS?? OMG, that’s such a horrible topic! :sad: I really don’t want to go dress shopping! I know a lot of girls love to go wedding dress shopping but I have never been one of them.. I really dread it! I am more the blue jeans/trousers type of gal and would love to get married in white, floating trousers - but my fiancé is…

  • Love love love the attitute! Right now I find myself back in the excuses section, but I think your post just kicked my backside into getting into the gym tonight!! Thank you!
  • LOL - I recorded it - but now after reading these comments am not too sure I want to watch it, sounds like a waste of time..
  • I actually quite like the rowing machine - it is one where I can push myself quite a bit and am completely knackered after a short time. Same goes with the treadmill. Really depending on what you want to do, if you don't like doing it but need it to warm up - suck it up and use either of those two.. If you want to do some…
  • Hi, Won't be much help with regard to lean PCOS, but I am a German living in England - so am pretty good with both languages (though not perfect) - let me know if you need anything german-related explained or anything else in German - always happy to help :-) Best of luck Meike
  • Yes, and it was great meeting her IRL! Especially seeing as we DID indeed connect just as much as we do here! :happy: So glad we met! Looking fwd to seeing her again! :flowerforyou:
  • Yupp, ALL.THE.TIME! Being a tall girl (just under 6") with all my friends just topping 5" with nice slimm figures I always feel extremely big and huge, like a giant towering over them.. They would never say anything, even if I bring it up and mention it, they would always say I don't look fat and that I am tall and…
  • I think the OP is not doing squats with a barbell but rather with the small dumbbell weights in her hands, lifting her fists in front of her to shoulder height while squatting down. So it's slightly different to the "proper" barbell squats. I would also say do them alternating days, upp the weights rather than the reps (as…
  • Then you better get your avocadoes tonight - the ones in the shop usually need some time to ripen up properly :-) Enjoy it! Really fancy that myself now - will get some avocadoes tonight I think :-)
  • You need very soft/ripe avocadoes, fresh garlic, chilli (fresh or dried), limes (roughly 1 lime to every 2 avocadoes is how I like it), some salt and pepper - add a bit olive oil if you fancy. Mix until smooth (or how ever you like your consistency.. sometimes I put a couple of cherry tomatoes in as well, helps with the…
  • I usually throw all the not-so-nice fruits I have left from the week (tooo ripe banana, softish oranges or apples) with left-over yogurt or quark! Frozen fruit is quite nice as it cools the smoothy while preparing it, so you don't need any ice-cubes! I also tried to blend frozen bananas once - really yummy ice-creamy…
  • one for me too!!! :-) Great thing, just hope you didn't bite off more than you can chew/run ;-) Good luck!
  • This is a great topic and I will have a closer look at my numbers for the last 6 months and see if it works out for me. I got my LBM measured today and will use that to calculate BMR, TDEE etc more accurately - I would love to be able to say 3500cal = 1lbs loss, but I am a sceptic and doubt that it really is THAT easy :-)…
  • German accent - will NEVER lose it :sad: yupp, mistaken for South Africa quite often - not sure that is any better though.. :noway:
  • native German, fluent English, and some basic french (needs refreshing though) Love languages, but living in England messed with my ability to think in any other language - need to pick up on french again soon or am going to lose it compeltely.. done some courses in spanish and greek as well, but my abilities there are not…
  • London/Essex here! :-) Feel free to add :)
  • Just bought the book and planning on starting this weekend, have an appointment for joining the gym this Thursday and am fairly nervous about going there. Have never done weight training before and all these different names confuse the hell out of me :blushing: Am sure I will manage in the end - somehow. :bigsmile: Will…
  • There are both: a facebook page (as the link above) and here is the link for the group of MFP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8017-in-place-of-a-road-map Good luck!
  • Hi ladies :waves: Just wanted to say 'hello' - I just ordered the book and will be joining the Gym on Sat, kinda excited and scared to start exercising, but I heard so much good things about Nrol4W, I thought I give it a go! Hope I won't annoy you too much with newbie questions though ;-) Cheers Me
  • Am just under 6" and have no idea about how much I want to weight in the end, still have lots to lose first. Am at 237 at the moment and currently I think that 185lbs is a good aim and then will re-assess. Might never get even there though, especially as I am planning on incorporating some lifting. :-) Some of your low…
  • 3?? really only 3?? can't decide! Alexander Skarsgård Channing Tatum Chris Hemsworth Gerard Butler Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson Hugh Jackman Robert Downey Jr. ..and so much more...
  • Looooooove Jerky!! Would love to try making it at home, but don't have a dehydrater - does anyone know if you can do it in the oven on a low heat as well? Any recipes? Would love to try it with turkey breast, any experiences? Feel free to send me a message if you can help, I can't access the forums that often.. :-( Thanks…
  • Funny you should say that: the girl in "Euro trip" was called MIEKE!! :tongue: though the pronounciation is the same :bigsmile: always have trouble with English/Americans to pronounce/spell my name properly - they all get either of them wrong :sad:
  • LOL, I'll play - thought I doubt that I will find one here :laughs: My first name is MEIKE - any other German Girls out there?
  • Wow, you look amazing! What a transformation! Kudos to you! :drinker: What a nice thing to do - I really like the idea of paying it forward! Just because we struggle and had to learn each little step of the way doesn't mean that everyone else has to struggle the same! oh and no need to enter me into the giveaway as I live…
  • LOL - oh well, was worth a try ;-)
