Yeah I'm sure that's true, but hubbie's company is paying for our shipping costs so I'm bringing it anyway! Also it came from the States in the first place when I ordered it online, and it's actually got an American plug on it (which has been adapted to work in the UK) so I felt that it deserved to return to its homeland!!

Yes but only muscle not body fat.
I have seen this issue hinted at so I thought I'd post about it as it might be something prospective expats might want to be aware of!
If you have, what do you think the reasons are? Too many buffets? Not enough walking? Something in the water? A desire to fit in?
Poll coming soon...
