Fitness and Exercise
If you are doing an exercise plan during this challenge time feel free to talk about it here. I just felt like sharing that last night I did the "hanging leg raise" machine where you balance your body on your elbows and lift your legs up straight to a 90 degree position. Wow, was that ever harder than I expected. I only…

Today is weigh-in day! If you feel like sharing anything about this week's weight check post it here. I lost less than 1/4 a kilogram in the past week so I was disappointed but I am going to try and trim up my eating over the next week and maybe lose 1/2 a kilogram by next week, which is my MFP goal. 1/2 kilogram a week…

Knees get warm after exercise
I have recently started exercising three weeks ago. Basic 5x5 weightlifting and some kettlebell swings. This week I added some walking, jogging and a bit of running on the treadmill. Never more than 30 minutes. Usually 10-20 minutes only. After my jogs my knees get quite warm feeling and they feel sort of "tired out" the…

Starting lifting as an American woman in S. Korea
Hey 5x5 ladies. I am very interested in this program and have learned all of the lifts. I am starting this program in a gym in South Korea where I live. They showed me how to do the lifts and everything except the deadlift was the same as the stronglifts website. However the deadlift that they showed me did not start with…

lost and gained it back
It was fun to lose weight. Not that fun to do it again after gaining back. Anyone want to join my weigh-in group to get down back into the clothes that used to fit? Life is much more slow with no exercise. I am going to get back into my healthy habits. Hope to see you all there :)…

How to do this? 26yo 5'5" 140 working for 120
Hello ladies of this group, Yes it is January 1st but that is not the reason that I decided to lose weight. I am on a long journey of trying to find a body weight I am comfortable with. I weight about 140 now and feel just as big as I was when I was close to 170 about three years ago. All through high school and college I…

Don't want to be a fat wife
I know that some people might have a problem with the ideas of women gaining weight in a marriage. Does it matter or doesn't it matter? Is it just superficiality? Many women seem to think they deserve unconditional love from their husband no matter what happens. So... What about when a woman gains a lot of weight and her…

Enter and search using Korean?
I was wondering if anyone knew if those of us who are English speakers can actually search for foods using Korean letters and spelling? I know that we can create and enter using Korean but I am not sure about searching. It never seems to work when I try to search using Korean.

Going to the gym in Korea
What are you experiences with going to the gym in Korea? Do you sign up for the typical Health Club? Take classes exercise at home? I find going to the health club alone somewhat intimidating and I always feel watched...even if that isn't the case. It just isn't very fun for me at all...

New Challenge - Bring this group to life
Hello everyone! Let's bring this group a little more to life! I know there is a huge thread about weight loss on waygook.org but this MFP community could be so much more close. So, here is a question. 1. What are your weight loss goals for your time in Korea? 2. If you are going back to your home country how will you plan…

Not fluent but could still help
Hello, I looked at the pdf of the english and korean versions and i have to say I am not fluent enough to make sure the translations are correct. But, I would be willing to research and input more foods that can be found here in Korea. Thank you for the consideration.

Let's lose 15 pounds the rest of 2013!
Hello everyone, I have discovered the community aspect of this site and am liking it so far! I am hoping to lose 15 pounds by the end of the year and go from 66 kg (145 lbs) to 59 kg (130 lbs). I really am not sure how to do it :( Can it really happen? Weight has been slowly slipping off since I moved to Korea over a year…

Saving frequent foods - confused
Is there any way that I can save the foods on a list that I will often be entering. It seems like the "frequent" list saves every single food. Whenever I try to find "Apple" I have to start from square one and search through the entire list of every food imaginable that has the word "apple" in it. Am I just doing it wrong?
