Thanx to i-tunes the MTM-World is bigger than US and Kanada.

I´m a 39 years old guy from Germany. I´m working in advertising as a copywriter. The last
8 years I was quite consistend in jooging and some workout. So my problem is quite small.
Nevertheless: I´m 188 cm tall and I´ve got 170 pounds. I would like to loose like about 10 12 pounds, thats it.

I´ve seen that you guys all have lost a lot more. Seems to me that loosing 10 pounds is more
difficult than 50;-)

That´s why I was interested in MTM: I´m searching a new kick. Anybody a suggestion for my
case?

Thank you and keep on moving!

PD: Sorry for my english…

Hallo Deinzelmann,
schon witzig zu sehen, dass noch mehr Leute aus “good old Germany” MTW hören. Ich höre MTW meist beim Laufen auf meinem Ipod. Ich bin 38 und seit Anfang des Jahres dabei wieder in Form zu kommen. Erst hab ich es alleine versucht, doch das mit dem Essen und der Motivation klappt dann meist nicht über längere Zeit. Ende Mai habe ich also kurzer Hand bei WeightWatchers angemeldet und gehe jetzt regelmäßig zu den Treffen, auch wenn ich oft der einzige Mann bin. Seit drei Wochen sind wir sogar zu zweit. <lach> Na ja, jedenfalls geht es langsam voran oder besser gesagt mit dem Gewicht nach unten. Im Mai war ich noch bei 102 Kilos und jetzt bin ich bei 93 Kg angekommen. (zur Info ich bin 180 Groß). Nun ja, der Weg ist noch lang aber ich nehme mir kleine Schritte vor. 95 Kilo war war mein erstes Ziel und jetzt arbeitet ich mir auf die 90 kilo-Grenze vor…

Du willst also auf 70-72 Kilos runter? Das ist bei deiner Größe doch sogar schon ganz schön wenig, oder?

Ich kann für mich nur sagen, dass ich am Besten abnehmen, wenn ich auch Sport mache. In den letzten drei Wochen, habe ich sehr regelmäßig Sport gemacht. Gehe mehrmals die Woche ca. 1 Std. Laufen und ab und an radele ich auf meinem Spinningrad.

Wünsche dir noch viel Erfolg beim Abnehmen…

Jordan

PS: Ich hoffe, es ist okay, dass ich dir nun nicht auf Englisch geantwortet habe

Welcome to MTM -

Hey - if David Hasslehoff could do it why not MTM?

Your post is cool - and the first posted to MTM Land in another another language.

Reading between the lines - I kind of understand… sort of…

Hey - maybe somebody in MTM Land translate for the rest of us less international folks?

I just realized that in order for everyone else to be able to read what I posted that it might be better for me to post in English.

Deinzelmann is not the only one listening to MTM in Germany. I am a 38 year old guy from Germany and since the beginning of this year I am trying to get back in shape. I have first tried to lose weight on my own but I realized that I struggle to keep my motivation up over a longer period. Therefore I have decided to join a WW group end of May. Most of the time I have been the only guy in the group, but I got used to that. However just recently another guy showed up so now we are to men among many women. Anyway, my pounds (or as we here say kilos) are finally melting away. I started WW with 226 pounds and I am currently down to 204 pounds. I am trying to take small steps. My first goal was 209 pounds (95kg) and my next is to pass the 198 pounds (90kg) boundary. I am dreaming of slimming down to 174 pounds but that is still quite a long way and I rather focus on smaller steps.

I normally listen to MTM on my Ipod when I go running. I found out that I really enjoy running an listing to motivational podcasts like MTM as well as other podcasts.

Hey Scott,
that was probably the fastest reply I ever received to a post in a forum. Thanks for your podcast it is really great being able to listen to it. I like it a lot and it helps me a lot to stay on track.

I will try to post English only in the future.

Best wishes across the big pond…
Jordan

Hallo! Ich nahm deutsche Kategorien für 8 Jahre, aber es ist nicht sehr gut.
Ich war in der Lage, zu lesen, was du schriebst!

Willkommen zum MTM-Land! Wir sind froh, daß du hier bist.

Show off! 

MTM’s #1 Groupie, our first moderator AND now our international representative.  Carrie ROCKS!

Wooooooow!!!!

I wrote this first mail like half a year ago and I forgot it. Now I see that Scott itself wrote my.
And it feels like chatting with Tom Cruise, let say Hollywood.

Well guys, my problem is still the same. I feel a little from the wagon as you say Scott. But
it was not so horrible. I didn´t gain, but I didn´t loose either.
I am still 1,88 m high with the weight of 170 pounds.  Must be the beer!!!

Carrie, ich freue mich auch sehr über einen Brief in Deutsch. Ich bin ein guter Lehrer.
Ich arbeite zwar in der Werbung, aber ich habe eigentlich Deutsch und Spanisch
studiert. Also, ich bin ein Lehrer;-)

Well guys, it´s so great to enter this place and find you reacting to my mail. I will go on.
10 pounds to go. I promise you: I will make it!

Hugs for all of you
deinzelmann

Deinzelmann, welcome back! The beer will certainly keep you from making progress, but it is so good.

I hope you don’t leave us again. Welcome back.

Bree

Welcome back!

If your serious about losing the 10 lbs....i have a challenge for you

How much are you eating everyday.....do you keep a log?  calories, (fat, carbs, protien)…

Once you can tell us that...your average intake......We’ll help you lose the 10 ....Deal?

Hi and welcome back again. 

I have a challenge to add to Tom’s - Join the 100 days of exercise forum.  You can post in English or Deutsch.  I can read Deutsch (but can’t speak or write worth a darn) so you we’ll hold you accountable in any language.

Thank you guy for the warm welcome. And sorry for me horrible english. Reading what I wrote yesterday makes me want to…

Thank you for the idea of the 100 days-stuff. Got to read that. And Tom you are write - I´ve got a eating issue not a moving issue. Because I´m doing like 3 times sport a week and don´t lose. So must be the food, after all the beer. For this I´m now having a “green month”, is to say no alcohol for 4 weeks. I´m on day 8 and lost 2 pounds just like this. Looks like one way to paradis.

So guys, let me tell you: Thanks. And I´m still opend for new ideas for my 10 pound problem.

By!
