I'm competing in the Tough Mudder race in July :P

Did the person not say you're only supposed to take them WITH food? Especially if it's a high dosage! Have been on them for over a month now, only take 1 or 2 a day and its helped a lot! But if you're suffering some serious side effects - I'd speak to your doctor before taking any more. Doesn't matter what is on the…

@cestabbey - Ooooo France? I was hoping to travel to there a fair bit next year! You'll have to keep me posted on your travels! Maybe we can meet up and show France how true expats enjoy a new country! :D Haha

The one I have kept on my profile since I started: "I didn't change... I just woke up." For those that it doesn't help... Try some of this..... "I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten." - Eckhart Tolle

What areas of the body are you mainly wanting to tone hun? x

@cestabbey - Resurrection seems to be an ongoing difficult task! I guess not many expats have figured out that there are a fair few of us on here! :P How goes the battle with the language out there?

Am a newbie when it comes to message board abbreviations.... 'OP' is original poster yes?

In the UK....... London - Theres a couple of great little places dotted all over London. But my all time favs is the Builders Cafe on Marylebone Lane (just off Oxford Street). And 'Ciao' over at the edge of Leicester Square/Trafalgar Square. Both nifty little 'out of the way' places. Cambridge - Have yet to discover the…

Does anyone know any good recipes for low-cal dairy free oatbars? A lot of the ones you can buy in health food shops here in the UK use condensed milk to help bind the oats together.

Obviously you'll lose more weight by including proper cardio exercises, but walking will actually do a lot more than you think. When I first started my weight loss journey, I made sure to walk a minimum of 3 miles a day and swim 3 times a week. I dropped 3lbs in the first week! So why not endeavour to at least walk home…

I'm a 'third culture kid' (TCK); was raised in Asia and have been living in the UK for the past couple of years now. Guess I've an inverted experience to everyone else here so far! :P @cestabbey - Have you been to Insadong market in Seoul recently? If you go to the far end of the stretch (near the Baskin Robbins place - if…

Which part of Hertfordshire are you in?

Fingers crossed and cheering you on all the way dude! :)

26 f North Hertfordshire, UK here. 27 in November. Anyone fee free to add me if you'd like.

26/f/North Hertfordshire Just approaching losing my 3rd stone - then will only be 1.5 stones away from my idea weight! :)

Sounds about right considering a woman should only consume a maximum of 2000 calories per day (not when they're trying to lose weight of course).

I agree that on some they can look 'excessive' and others it just tends to highlight their personality and does suit them (I'm someone who a full sleeve would not look good on, my arm would probably resemble a newspaper collage). I've always been fussy about the artist that does my tattoos. They HAVE to know what they're…

I'm very much the same - its all about moderation. But I know some folks have (for lack of a better word) an 'addiction' to junk/fast food. Thought the post might be helpful :)

Honestly, I haven't read some of the other replies on here. But as someone who is 5,1ft and started at 185lbs before losing weight - I then managed to drop 28lbs in 2 months. Initially I used anger and frustration to keep me motivated. Anger that I'd let myself get that big, and anger for how I'd let my unhappiness of my…

Just joined the group, am hoping to move to Cambridge around May would love to get to know some folk in Cambridge before the move.

Bottled water is probably the best bet there :P But... And I'm not sure if its the same in the US as in the UK.... but out here they started doing healthy 'bistro boxes'. Things like couscous with mediterranean veg, salad with hock ham, they even do a small 'cheese selection' one with plain oat biscuits, apples, grapes…

Hi guys! Brand new to the group, have already got myself on a roll with the weight loss and have already dropped my first 28lbs. But am starting to feel the loss of motivation - so am here looking for some support to beat the next 20lbs! :) I can't really say I have a favourite exercise. The trainers have set me up with a…

Yes

I agree! Aside from how tasty protein is... the damage you can cause from not keeping the nutrient balance your body NEEDS is not worth dropping an amount of weight you could lose because you will simply put it all back on as soon as you start eating properly again. I detest diets like this because they're a 'quick-fix'…

I had lost weight before and had looked better than I had in a looooong time. But after having gone through some surgeries followed by a period of depression - I had gained all the weight back and then some! The moment to fix things and make it a permanent change was when my business partner's 6 yr old son (who had seen me…

Personally I listen to a lot of different music just because thats what gets me going. I can't recommend individual songs, you've got to find songs where the lyrics kick up a fire in you. Sometimes its the beat that gets you going; other times its the words that are being sung that will really get you going, not just the…

The problem for me is I actually want to eat less when I'm on my period. It takes a lot of effort to make sure I at least keep a healthy intake of 1200 calories, and I usually work off at least 700 of those calories at the gym (I go twice a day). So my curiosity is how to minimise the bloating when my want for food…

Very very true! I'm just not enjoying the feeling of becoming 'Mrs.Blobby' on the treadmill. Does not do much for one's self esteem. Especially when there's a clique of body builders at your gym who don't think you can hear them smirking at you whilst you work out. - In defence for the people at my gym, its only a group of…

I don't trust the one at my gym (especially since I recently found out it claims you're 3kg lighter than you actually are) or at home. I make a weekly trip to a local Pharmacy/Beauty/Wellness store chain (do they have 'Boots' in the US?), the chain has some very VERY precise ones attached to the Pharmacy counter since they…
