I met my husband on OKcupid, too! I mean, you do have to actually meet the people you connect with online, but if I hadn't used online dating I never would have found him. I liked the more casual vibe on OKC, too. Go ahead and give it a shot, it's just one more way of meeting people!

Hey, awesome idea! I'm looking for my tall "twin" I guess! Height: 178 cm (5' 10") HW: 90 kg (198 lbs) <--- holy crap! CW: 78 kg (172 lbs) GW: 75 kg (165 lbs) However, as I nudge closer to my GW I think I might bump it down to 72 kilos. We'll see what happens when I get there, once I get to my GW I'm going to focus more on…

The rules for messages boards on MFP expressly prohibit flaming or trolling. If you see questionable content, report it to the site administrators! I agree the world is full of major douches and that you need to have a tough skin, but it's also reasonable to expect not to be flayed because your spelling skills aren't the…

Hehe, my mom owns a travel agency, actually! It depends on what kind it is. My mom specializes in package vacations and honeymoons, so she'll book everything from flights/hotels/excursions, cruises, etc. She doesn't do just plane tickets, etc., as you can usually book them yourself on Orbitz or whatever. I think that you…

Hey! I think an HRM is an awesome idea, I bought one about a month ago and absolutely love it. Now I wear it whenever I go to the gym to accurately count the calories I burn. I found that the machines didn't accurately measure how much you burn. The brand of mine is Quechua, it's sold at Decathlon here, but I'm not sure if…

Nice post! I'm always a bit reluctant to watch food documentaries because they freak me right out (I guess that's the point?) but I definitely agree that it's best to be vigilant about reading labels. I would MUCH rather eat a teaspoon of real sugar (or honey, or agave syrup or whatever) and just count the calories against…

1, How long did you plan? - Six months of not very frantic planning (mostly done long-distance) 2. How much did you spend? (sorry if that's personal) Was this more/less than you planned? $2K 3. How many people were invited/ how many showed up? 40/38 4. What did you give out for favors (if you had them)? We didn't have…

Tetley's Extra Strong, milk no sugar! I have two-three cups a day, I could give up coffee in a heartbeat but don't touch my tea! :) (And for non-caffeinated I really love Yogi Tee Schoko and Sweet Chili teas...)

Mine is open, too. Feel free to add away! Although I literally eat the SAME THING for breakfast every day, boring! haha x

Me encanta la página Euroresidentes, sobre todo el apartado de Recetas: http://www.euroresidentes.com/Recetas/Recetas.htm La página es muy completa, incluye recetas para comida saludable, un diccionario de términos gastronomicos y consejos. ¡Muy recomendable!

Hola, buenos días! Soy de EEUU pero desde hace 7 años vivo en España y me he unido a este grupo para conocer a gente y compartir experiencias. También me interesaría encontrar más recetas/comidas de España/Latinoamérica en MFP porque a veces tengo que inventar cosas ya que no salen en la base de datos. Ánimos a todos!

Ah, hahaha, great minds think alike! In response to the original post, I generally cut my wine with soda water when having an after-work drink, etc., and drink "full fat" wine with dinner on the weekends (accompanied by lots of water.) However, I've found that drinks twice a week are my max, so I think it's important to…

Hiya! Well, I'm taller than you and weigh more than you, but I'm also looking to lose about a stone before Christmas, so we can work together! I'm in Spain so we're more or less in the same time zone, too! (You're in the UK, right? I have to go to the UK next week for work and I've no idea how I'm going to avoid Nando's!…

Meh. I went out for after-work beers yesterday and just counted the calories towards my "snacks." Then I walked home and took the steps up to our flat instead of the elevator. I have drinks twice a week on average; I think it's important to remove the feeling of deprivation from "dieting", otherwise long-term change isn't…

Hi everybody! This topic is really interesting. I'm new to MFP (friend me?) and I've never thought of doing high calories and counting my exercise as 1 calorie. It's a simple, great idea and seems more in tune with my lifestyle. Just the thought of consuming only 1200 calories makes me hungry, and even 1500 is really hard…

Amen! Congrats on your success so far! I also want to be a UK dress size 14... right now I'm hovering between 16-18, depending on the brand. And that's when I go to the UK to shop - I don't EVEN want to talk about trying to buy clothes in Spain! :P

Hey everyone! I've just joined so I guess my successes are yet to come, but I'm 178 cm tall (about 5' 10"?) and my SW was 88 kg (193 lb). I've lost one whole kilo so far, and my GW is 75 kg (165 lb). I've found that being tall is a bit misleading, because I seem to "hold" my weight. When I admitted to my husband how much…
