Hi, my name is Martin and I am from germany. I am looking for a team. My goal is to lose weight. For the sport component I use a concept 2 rower. Is there a team or group which I can join? Important for me is the motivation effect of the team and if possible some people who are also fighting to lose weight. Thank you in advance for your proposals.

Best Regards

Martin

Martin,

All the virtual teams are brilliant and all motivating, but I'm biased so join the Forum Flyers and you will get all the motivation and advice and more.

Don't make the wgt loss a fight, its stressful enough make it an experience. Wgt loss is a very personal and individual thing, also quite hard to advice on without some solid food diaries to go with but the more you divulge the more advice (often conflicting) you'll get.

PM me if you want to join. No fees no strings, its all virtual and you can always leave if you think we are all mad :D

Kind Regards

Chris

Hi Martin
I see you did the challenge - well done and welcome to the Flyers!
The CTC is a really good way of competing against yourself and others as you make progress.
The fastest man in our team is also German but lives in Norway - you will see when he posts his CTC as Dirk Moeller.

You will also see us talking on the UK Forum

Dear lindsayh,

thank you for this warm welcome. After I finished the mud challange of 5.000 m yesterday, I did the CTC challange. Puhhhh...not fast but finally I did it B) .
You have now one fast German and one slowly German on the Team.

I will do my best to improve. I must also thank you merkaats because he supported me how to join and how to participate at CTC.
In advance...sorry for my lausy english. Please ask when something is not clear.

Best Regards

Martin (fleed)

Henry is bilingual, maybe multi- for all I know. I never question a man's use of my native language for fear he might want me to converse in his. Then I'd really be in dutch. :oops: Jack

We all know that Google translate turns everything into 'My hovercraft is replete with eels' in whatever target language you choose. They programmed it using Monty Python's dirty Hungarian phrase book. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Hungarian_Phrasebook

Indeed, it does show that imitating something living is still very hard for a machine. But the machines are catching up rapidly.
