For most of us who have dealt with weight issues, self-image issues, self-esteem issues, it is normal to continue to doubt our efforts, and to continue to see ourselves heavier than we are. You're not obese, AT ALL. It may take your mind a while to catch up with what your body looks like, especially if you spent many years…

@MommaGemz scary!! Glad his temp didn’t go up any more. Probably just one of those strange summer viruses. But given current conditions, it’s extra stressful. My back has been hurting for nearly two years and have seen several physiotherapists. I’m ready for an orthopedic doctor so I have to make an appointment to my GP to…

@thelastnightingale hang in there!!! Period fluctuations suck! Mine have been getting crazy long, heavy and painful the last two years (44 yrs old so, I guess it’s the fun part of perimenopause)!! @MommaGemz aahh yes, lots of handholding at that age. The 9 weeks on 1 week off sounds great, it’ll give everyone something to…

Not bad for my second day back! I went for walks during every break of my online language course plus before and after. And I tried a new recipe, which I hadn’t done in a while (and I loooove discovering new recipes) a tricolor quinoa with chickpeas, corn, mint, lemon juice, tomatoes and smoked salmon. Delish!…

@thelastnightingale thanks for your sweet words! The Netherlands is a beautiful little country, many things to be grateful for living here. But yes, the stairs of death, as many of us immigrants, call them. LOL nobody warns visitors about climbing them with big and square suitcases. Hehehe @clutterqueen Thank you!…

Yep! I’m there too. Lost about 45lbs and have gained 15 back this last year. Depression, major life changes, back pain for 2 years, death of a loved one... oh and stupid pandemic! But yesterday I got sick of the self-loathing. Of making excuses. Of allowing food to lead my emotions. Of using that one glass of wine to…

@MommaGemz howdy and thanks! We lived in Humble for 12 years and Katy for 5!!!! I went to HS in south Texas. :smile: Miss so much from our lives there! Any major decisions on schools for kids coming up?

@kcd394 your story sounds very similar to mine... only difference I’m like a decade older and non-the-wiser... lol Hi everyone, I’m jumping in here as well! Everyone has been making great progress! My journey with my weight has been lifelong (late teen/adult age). Some years better than others. My wake up call came at…

I started again today... bit of a long story and I have gained about 10-15 lbs in the last 6 months.... ENOUGH! TIME TO TAKE CONTROL and stop with the excuses to continue down the wrong path... So here’s to remembering that moving feels good!

Hi all, I turned 44 two weeks ago. Needing a group for support and motivation (and an smack on the head once in a while). Battled with some weight issues (sometimes heavier than others) most of my life. My heaviest was 198lbs a year after my second baby was born (I’m 5’6’). Joined weight watchers and did well, then joined…

Which HR monitor do you guys use?

What kinds of food do they like here?!? The eternally unanswerable question. Hahaha it's a country based on farming and cold weather, so lots of stews and potato type dishes. They're known for their pancakes which are like crepes. Cheese and lots of delish cheese. And a good array of Indonesian dishes because they were a…

Hi all! Hi @AZLisaLou sorry it's so quiet! It ends up being super busy while in Holland!! I've walked a lot since the temperature has been gorgeous! Food wise.... I'm doing well, not many excesses!!!! How are you?

Meds are tricky, never know if it's increased appetite or water retention! Drink lots of water!!! I'm just trying to get ready for the European family vacation.... I am lost in chaos, hehe. But, I did teach the boys how to think about packing for a trip! They were enthusiastically involved in the process. Who knows what…

I am originally from Mexico City. My husband is from The Netherlands. We met while I was doing my university degree in TX and he was here doing some research for his Masters degree. The year after I moved to Holland to be with him because his mom got diagnosed with secondary metastatic breast cancer. Yep, they speak Dutch…

Don't ever feel like you have to hide for overeating! Hehehe we're here to cheer each other up!

We won't know for sure until a few…

Being here and maintaining is a GREAT achievement! So, celebrate that! Logging is a good goal, I am trying to get back into it as well! Summer is tough, so disorganized with eating, hehehe. Doctors apt today, she wants me back on a lower dose birth control to manage PMS and cyclical mayhem. I'm not keen, but willing to…

Not a lot of time to post, drove south to my dad's for a "family meeting" with him and my brother. I was dreading it but it didn't go too bad. Summary, everyone has good intentions regarding mom's care, dad is still financially responsible for her. But my brother and I fear my dad will make rash decisions trying to get an…

Oh my, I can relate to the heat. My TX heat is humid and sticky. This week is getting up in the high 90s. I don't think we get quite as hot as Arizona, not enough to need mittens to drive! Whew! You got me craving pecan pie!! Do you make it from scratch? Yum! My goals ? Not lose my sanity. Literally. I don't think I'll…
