Yeah no fish in the Gulf of Thailand, me and my buddies snagged them all back in March this year.

You can buy them in B2S

Sounds like fun, but am not into very serious simulators. I've been playing War Thunder quite a bit on the PC, its free to play. They have a sim mode which is pretty good too.

Yeah BF4, for the PC, is fun

I often do, as to whether I get hit by customs depends on who I ship with. EMS gets hit less often.

Most original 360 games in Bangkok are Asian region. Dont see so many US region games for sale here. Play-asia.com is a good choice though if you don't mind ordering online

After the RROD's seen with 360, I will hold off on making a decision on either until 6 months after launch.

My breakfast is typically hot oatmeal prepared with water, 1 scoop of vanilla protein shake, and a handful of frozen raspberries / blueberries. Keeps me going right through to lunch, and even on to dinner on my fast days.

Just like to add that I have been on the 5:2 diet since January this year, when I weighed 103 kgs.

Intermittent fasting really does work, but importantly it suits my lifestyle. I only have to really think about what I eat twice a week where I eat no more than 600 calories When I started I expected that I may binge on the days following the fast, but that really doesnt happen. In fact, the process of closely monitoring my food intake twice a week means that i am much more aware of what I eat throughout the rest of the week too.

Today I weigh 91kgs. In fact I just got back from a trip top the UK where my weight jumped up to 94kgs, so have lost 3Kgs in two weeks, before I left for my holiday I was at 89Kgs, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will lose those two extra kilos and continue my downward trajectory to my target weight of 85Kgs which I am quite confident I will achieve my October.

I must also add that, as I started to lose weight I hit a plateau around March at about 97kgs so I then took up running and I havent looked back.

What follows is a graph of my weightloss journey which is tracked by my Withing wifi scale which I purchased in April, hence more measurements after that time. :

Your story left me wondering why you're so fixated on a kilogram weight target. I would suggest that you get a DEXA scan done whenever you're in the UK, so you can track your bodyfat percentage and have a better idea of what weight you want to be. There's no point losing muscle to reach a weight goal and unless you get your percentages checked, you'll never know where you are.

For example, I'm 105 kg at 12% bodyfat right now. That might seem like a lot of weight, but, other than stripping a few percent off there's not much fat to lose unless I wanted to become an underwear model sporting a sharp 6- pack..., so my weight is fairly close to ideal at 105 kg. Last year I was 102 kg at 9% bodyfat. I really don't have a lot of spare weight unless I want to strip muscle and I work too hard for that to want to start losing it.

A DEXA scan is the best method of testing bodyfat currently available to the public. You should be able to find a lab with a scanner somewhere in the UK. I get it done whenever I return to :Australia. Unfortunately we have no idea if this can be done in Thailand.

I dont get back to the UK often enough to have a DEXA / bodypod scan, and frankly I doubt they'll have them in my home town anyway. I'm not solely focussed on weight, my body fat as measured by electric induction from my Withing's scale, is roughly 20%, down from 30+% when I started measuring. So still have some way to go before I get to down to my target levels of sub 15%.

I am of course aware that the best way of measuring body fat is calipers or a DEXA / Bodypod, and that electric induction really measures the resistance in the body and this can be thrown off by water retention, so I always measure at the same time of day under roughly the same conditions, so whilst it may not be perfect, its consistent and gives me an indication of where I am heading.

I have also recently begun strength training to increase my lean body mass to preserve what musculature I have and am making (slow) progress on this count. The point I really wanted to make was that IF work's for me, and I find it to be a very sustainable way to diet.

I posted a detailed update in the other thread on coconut oil as intermittent fasting was discussed there too, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/657002-the-hype-about-coconut-oil-for-weight-loss-is-it-for-real/page-3 but just remembered that we started talking about it here.

To add to that though my running has been going great, now regularly running 6.5 - 8 kms had a few issues, but more from lack of knowledge about running than anything else (didnt buy shoes an extra size bigger than normal etc, didnt do a gait analysis so the shoes I bought didnt give me enough support). Fixed that now and the weight continues to drop, except a slight hiccup during a recent trip back to the West Country where I enjoyed a little too much cider, and a few too many Cornish pasties and scones with clotted cream, but Im reversing those issues too now. It works for me,and I reckon it can work for others too.

Oh and just to keep it on topic, Im a big fan of Thai food cooked with coconut oil. It makes it so much healthier (coconut oil handles heat much better) and gives dishes a new leash of life, phad see eiw with coconut poil is great (and yup you can eat that on a 5:2 diet and still lose weight, the proof is in graph above).

This is the same guy who last year claimed a third of Thailand was owned by foreigners and was going to deport everyone...

In late-2011, the exchange rate of the bitcoin crashed from over $30 in June to below $2 in October.

Just one of many good reasons to keep a distance from them--

Indeed, I looked at it for an on-line purchase a while back but disregarded it due to bitcoins' volatility. But still, hardly a reason to ban them.

Yet anoher reason to introduce licenses for parenthood.

Reminds me of when Taksin said he'd resolve all of the traffic problems in Bangkok within six months...

Cant help directly but have spread word, good luck.

Intermittent fasting works. I've been on the 5:2 diet since December. This is based on Dr Mosley's program. Basically 2 days a week I eat no more than 600 kcal and the rest of the week I am eat normally [but not excessively]).

For example I still enjoy pizza, ice cream, burgers, paneng moo, khao man gai etc. but these are rare treats for the weekends and for the main part I try to avoid carbs after dark.

Initially I went from 102 Kgs to 97 kgs with no exercise and hit a plateau that I have just managed to break through by adding running to my routine, and have since got down to 95 Kgs.

I am also using HIIT as part of my running program, where after a warm up I run fast for a minute, and then walk for 1.5 minutes and repeat.

I still have a way to go, but am getting ever closer to my weight and fitness goals.

Yes there is no limit to the number of owners that can listed on a chanode. I have seen some that have whole families listed on them. Its a nightmare scenario for agents, as getting consensus to sell in those situations can be nigh on impossible.

Great news and just goes to show that Thai justice is not a one way street.

Some people just want to watch the world sink

Are there Arma2 servers in this region?

On February 2, a police team arranged to make an entrapment “sting” purchase of 10 grams of ya-ice from Mr. Philes.

Hmmm...

I will wait to see the launch line up before purchasing.

I could not care less about specs, content is king.

If you look at the 360 vs PS3 the PS3 is better on paper, but at first it was difficult to develop for and hence had an inferior game library. This is why the 360 regularly outsells every other console on the market.

As for the Wii... not interested. Nintendo really dont tend to make many of the games I like. (i.e. FPS, strategy, racing, flying etc.)
