@kali225 thanks for sharing that recipe! I made a similar dinner that I love last night but it doesn't have the paprika. I will have to try out the one you shared. I love the lemon and garlic anything SO GOOD!

Hello all! Sorry for my late intro. My name is Stephanie. I'm a stay at home mom in Luxembourg with two preteens. We are from the US but in Europe on an assignment for my husband. Initially this was great for travel but COVID changed everything. I'm getting to the place where I am bored with staying home so starting to…

Sorry @jugar! We went away for the weekend. I see that you have me as 162 from last week and NWI. That works for me. Thanks and I will work to get it in earlier!

I love knowing that there are only 98 days left in the year! I’m good with deadlines! @Terytha thanks for sharing your tips. All those little choices really add up. Very encouraging!

@jugar come visit me! 😁

@jugar thanks for keeping us accountable each week and your sweet nagging 😁😉😁! PW: 161.8 CW: 162.0 Since It’s Saturday I’m catching up with posts and so much has happened in a week! @FatSlayer1016 your post connected with me. My husband lost about 12 pounds during the last year and I’ve lost about 20. When we went home…

CW: 161.8 I had to get a new ID card this week, out of the blue they asked me for my height, weight, etc OUT LOUD. 😮 Oh the NERVE of that lady! I told her my actual weight. With my husband standing there. It wasn’t impactful for anyone but me. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before and it felt powerful to let go of any…

@jugar - What makes this time different? I have time and energy to focus on my health. I am choosing this now for my future self. A healthy lifestyle of good for me foods and exercise will pay off more that an immediate brief satisfaction. When I recently went home I recognized the destruction my family is doing to…

@conleywoods The cougar photos and stories are amazing. I walk a lot here in Luxembourg forests and haven’t seen much other than deer, fox and birds. I would not like to see a cougar! 😳

Good Friday morning everyone! I’m seeing benefits from getting back to my schedule and the kids back in school. CW: 162.5 PW: 163.0

September is off to a great start. My kids are back in school and the house is quiet in the mornings which gives me so much time to think/process. I’m working on setting up better morning routines for all of us... if anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear how you all start your day with lots of positive energy. Happy…

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and I live in Luxembourg. I’m currently a stay at home wife & mom of two preteens, 11 & 12. My oldest son is in the states :'( I gave up my busy career last year and gratefully now I have lots of time for me and learning new tricks (or habits). I’m loving hiking, running and currently…

Hello I’m finally back from a month long visit to the states! Such a great time to reconnect with a few select family and friends. ❤️ My diet was totally off track and that’s okay I think. It was amazing to enjoy others cooking for me!! I’m back home this week and restarting my focus on healthy eating and it feels amazing…

I’m not able to weigh in this week because there’s no scale available here. Could you please add my weigh in as last week? I should see a scale by next Tuesday.

Here’s my weekly checkin. @jugar hopefully it’s within the window CW: 159 Sorry for the late reply. I’m traveling in the US for the next four weeks. I have to say the airports were creepy but flights were very smooth. This weekend we have really spotty coverage and I’m glad to get connected this morning. I’m not sure if I…

I like almonds for road trips. Those 100 calorie packs are amazing. Or just throw a few in a small baggie. Also apples or oranges or tangerines taste great. Maybe just tweak last years favorite. The peanut butter itself isn’t too bad - you could get those single serve packets - I love PB&J but not the bread so these…

Sorry @jugar when the numbers aren’t changing much I delay posting - somehow hoping that it will change the next morning.... so that’s not working. CW: 160.6 PW: same.

@conleywoods congrats on reaching your milestone! You have such a confident smile 😃 in the photo! @micki48 happy anniversary! It’s fun to see your corona phots I need to do that as well!

It’s great to see all your words of encouragement! Amazing that we all have different statements for ourselves. So inspiring. 😊 My words are “love me”. It means that I need to make good decisions now for the current and future me.

Here’s my update for the week. CW: 160.6 PW: 159.6 Not too bad for the rough week I’ve had but I’m back on track and want to move into the mid 150’s by the end of this month.

@Terytha Your changes are inspiring. I can definitely see the changes in your posture, the shape of your arm, and your face. Good work! @lovethyneighbor It’s great to have you back here! @conleywoods I love your hiking photos!

Here's my intro for July! I’m Stephanie from the US and currently living in Luxembourg. Married for 15 years. Hardest decision ever was to leave my stressful/rewarding career in the US to be a stay at home mom here to 2 preteen kids and one son I miss SO much in the US. Completed my first french course last week (C'est…

So maybe for the last week or so I have been uncommitted to myself in general - not seeing the positives, not being as active, eating snacks late at night and waking up late in the morning. UGH! I know these are all bad signs for me. My kids are out of school now and our routine is completely changing and I wasn't really…

Sorry about the delay for my check in! CW: 160.00000 PW: 158

My macro focus is having a moment right now and not a good one. I know if it’s balanced I loose weight quickly and I want to do that. But it’s exhausting to always be managing food intake. I want to just enjoy the food choices and not have them run my every decision. Aarrrgghhhh. Frustrated with it. 😕😡😔

@Gidgitgoescrazy it’s fun to read your stories about kayaking! Makes me feel like I’m there - but without the sore arms!! 😁

@jguldi11 Its been challenging to stay on track this weekend. Actually I had a couple alcohol drinks and blew my plan. BUT I am getting back to it again. Otherwise, I started two weeks ago with 2 days of really low carbs (40g) and since then just haven't had any bread or pastas, make a point to choose salad over potatoes,…

@Terytha that cake looks amazing! Great job!

Happy 18th! I’d like to celebrate my one year anniversary of our move to a foreign country since June 2019. It was very hard to leave my family, friends and career. But one year later I’m 20 pounds lighter and more confident, calm and reliable than ever. So yeah! PW: 162.0 CW: 158.0 Also my lower carb and macro focused…
