  • WI Sunday PW 213.8 CW 213.6 Well I was up yesterday looking like a blowfish. I haven’t been feeling well and hoping it passes so I can find my way back to my track.
  • WI Monday PW 212.6 CW 213.8 I was really expecting a loss. Ugh
  • WI Monday PW 212.6 CW 212.6 Sorry I totally blanked on posting my holding strong to last weeks number.
  • Wow lots of good posts. I love the questions. I love my community in Istanbul. We’re around 200+ westerners just in my neighborhood. It’s a very active group. We have meets ups at the park weekly, kids activities weekly, outings, potlucks and most of all they showed how important your expat family is. They took care of my…
  • WI Monday PW 213.8 CW 212.6 Finally moving in the right direction again. Been slowly getting back on my plan (low carb, 10k steps or 30 min cycling, weights returning soon hopefully) I’m so glad that during my “falling off the wagon and getting dragged behind it”, I kept checking in weekly. May Intro Welcome to all the new…
  • WI Monday PW 210 CW 213.8 Well ugh. Moving on. Im on calorie and finally getting back to cycling and my steps hopefully back up. I’ll be praying next week is my week.

  • Hi All! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I think things might mellow out here now and I can be more active. I need to be more active in the group, it helps me stay on track. This past month (ish) has been a rollercoaster of emotions. We’ve had someone pass away almost every week. My aunt, a patient that my son…

  • WI Monday PW 208.5 CW 210 Not sure how this happened. Ugh
  • Hi all Just returned from giving condolences. My husband’s sister mom in law passed away, she was a great lady. This last month has been heart breaking. My middle school friend passed a couple weeks ago. My aunt before her. It’s been week after week of sadness. I’ll be back later to do my intro and WI.
  • @Katmary71 trivia sounds like fun. I could use a game night. I hope your tea and rest have you feeling better. Thanks for reminding me that I have stuck it out while managing chaos. @19shmoo69 pickle dip sounds good! @AustinRuadhain I have been avoiding grocery shopping. I go once a month for the extras and send someone…
  • Hi all! I’m still around just busy trying to keep up. I figure the beat thing I can do is an update. I’m trying to keep up with my food log. My steps are less these days but still moving. Goals: Logging my calories Fighting the carb cravings Biggest goal I am about to embark is to stop sugar (at least adding it to drinks…

Im glad I have found some good doctors, it has helped a lot. @laurelfit57 glad you’re feeling better. I imagine walking the dogs can keep you busy.

  • WI Monday PW 209 CW 209 No changes. 😩 I caught up on posts, sorry I can’t respond, I’m not feeling well. Im having high blood pressure with is the opposite of my usual. I don’t know how people live with it. I’ll be making an appointment because I feel terrible. I may be a bit quiet the days coming. My creatinine has…
  • @19shmoo69 I must be honest I am kicking my husband out of his current cave to make a bigger pantry. It’s prime real estate and he’s gotta go. So he’s moving upstairs. 😂 @trooworld glad you’re feeling better. That’s a long commute. I spend a couple hours in the car daily doing school pick up and it’s the only thing I look…
  • @Cornanda Have a nice week away. @19shmoo69 I hope you’re feeling good now. Your Robin W. Quote is great. Thank your wife for us. @Katmary71 what homework are you doing? I like the idea of a holistic clinic, I need to look for something nearby. @trooworld thanks for sharing her story. How are you doing? @morenin sending…
  • Hi all! Loving the energy in the group this month. @AustinRuadhain congrats on the 50lb loss!!! @ninyagwa doubling is a good idea, I have a friend and my mom that we clean together or I do my walking with while in the phone. The time and chore passes so quickly. @buniphuphu nice tip on breaking up the tasks. I try to do…
  • WI Monday PW 208.6 CW 209 I assume the swelling I have from flying. I always puff up. My calories and exercise have been pretty good. So here’s to next week 🫡
  • @19shmoo69 thank you so much for the support. Cool bangs you have going on there 😂. @AustinRuadhain I love your chart you’re sharing with us for keeping on track. You did well by grabbing some fruit. I forgot my apples at the store yesterday and now I need to go back. You reminded me to buy fruit and I forgot it at the…
  • Hi! I’m back from my travels. The roughest 10 days in a while. This year has started off rough. Sickness after sickness, my Aunt passed away, traveled and got 3 sick kids during this past week. My eldest ended up the worst and we had to call a doctor to the house. The day I left, I got some results back from the hospital…
  • WI Monday PW 208.6 CW 208.6 No change which is sad, I’ve been on the go non stop and calories are low. I traveled now, got settled, 2 kids sick, start to catch a break, 3 kid sick. So, I’ll be back next week for WI. Hopefully, my life will settle down. Have a beautiful day.
  • I made it back to read posts. @Katmary71 love the question. Overwhelmed and what I do, hmm…I try to stop and take some time to breathe and smile. I am presently struggling with being extremely overwhelmed, so this question and everyone’s answers are beneficial. I have managed to stay close to 1200 calories today, while on…

  • Hi 👋🏻 Congratulations to those who made the board and those still hanging in here 🎉 @Katmary71 7000 cards! That’s amazing. Glad the storm wasn’t hard on your home. Today’s question? I’ve been meal prepping family meals the day ahead. It’s helping me not be rushed about making my own meals. @morenin glad you’re feeling…
  • WI Monday PW 206.4 CW 206.4 Ugh Up and down and these weeks it’s up on WI day.
  • Hi All! I’m a mom of 3, married for 30 years now. Somehow still feeling young 😂 I’ve been with this amazing group for a year and mfp for ages. I lost over 70lbs here.
