Hope everyone is having a great Saturday - a great weekend. I know for us that are living near the wildfires and the smoke from them - well it is not so nice - air quality where I am has been so bad for the last month that we really haven't been out without a mask and only to do what we need to do.

@steffy1182 you asked what groups I have brought over from SP. Here is what I have brought over and am looking at possibly a few more:

(1) Calling all Canadians - we are growing and I have the leader from the SP group on as coleader here on MFP

(2) I can do all things through Christ/In Christ I trust - this is a combination of 2 groups from SP

(3) Bright Line Eating - great program, always looking for more members that want to follow this way of eating

(4) Walking Across Canada - open to anyone who wants to record their miles walked - 1st part of the journey is just over 300 miles

(5) 100+ pounds to lose - always looking for more members that need support

(6) Needing Support with Losing Weight - another active group always looking for others that need encouragement

If there is anyone interested in any of these groups go to 'groups' and so a search looking through the recent groups - or your could email me and I could see about sending you a link / invite to the group

I am eating off plan for supper to night - am having spaghetti and as it is made with flour I am off plan - but tomorrow I am back on plan - should another spaghetti day come I will have to make it with zuchini noodles to stay on plan. I feel so much better without any flour at all and absolutely no sugar (only sugar I get is from the 2 fruits I eat)

But am tire now as the last few night have not been the best. So needing to have a power nap before needing to complete cooking dinner (spaghetti and spareribs) but the sauce is now on simmering so that is done.

@highalpine1 - not sure how many of us on this group are from Canada but there is a group for us called Calling all Canadians in case they missed it. And yes there is lots of smoke and yes it is beautiful. But the fires are not good -if you look on the internet for 'White Rock Lake Fire in British Columbia you will get an idea how bad it is. We are on the boundary of that fire and one subdivision of the city I live in has been put on evacuation notice and are ready to leave at a drop of a hat, 2 small places - one a resort, one a small village/town have had extensive damage that they are saying is not good - the resort will have to build back up again if they do - 2 more villages/towns are under alert to be evacuated, one of the cities in the Okanogan (Vernon) has been put on alert - not the whole city but a good portion of it - all because of this fast growing wildfire - and it is getting hard to find places for the people that are evacuated to find places to go as many people are on holidays are are filling up the motels, hotels, campgrounds so many people that are now being evacuated are having to sleep in their cars - I love that people are here to vacation but really these people that are being evacuated need the room now more than the holiday people - mean no offense but when you are forced out of your home due to a fire and then someone is holidaying taken up a room that you might be able to call home till you can find what you are going to do when you get back to a home that has been damaged by fire - we just need to help this people.

Sorry, I am just overly concerned as many of these people are friends of mine - and though in the part of the city we have not been told to be on alert we are prepared to go at a moments notice - and it is not nice to live like this especially when you have medical issues that make travelling long distances to find a place to sleep is not comfortable and then to sleep is difficult as I need a special chair to sleep in as I can't be down in a bed - so you can imagine how this is doing a number on me - and there are many of us in the same position.

Anyway take care, will come and say hi when I can but right now am very stressed and having to deal with all of this
