Cool Hello from sunny Dubai!

New to this forum, but not new to LC.

Did really well for about 9 months, lost 17kg and then just totally slacked off, holidays, more holidays, vacation, etc (any excuse, heehee). Weight slowly came back, but not all, thank God!! Anyway, am trying to get back to this WOE for good!!

I'm glad I found this forum, it looks like just the support I need.

Lorrie

That's correct, at one point I reached 180 and then let go . Check out our stories section from the menu above, for more details, mine is the one at the bottom.

Thumbs up

Wa'il,

Read your story and am going back to read some more.

Sometimes, when we know the background of someone else's sucess, one doesn't feel so alone. I mean, I know we're not, but it makes it easier.

Hi Wadimom

Welcome to the Forum. You will find Wa'il is only one of the many people here who are inspiring as you will discover. I think most of the people here have truly incredible stories to tell. They all motivate and encourage me.

You are doing well. Keep it up.
Take care.

Default Hi there!

Well, I'm not in Dubai, but am in Egypt. Both countries have the same official language, so do I count? Low carbing sure is difficult here, I wonder how you are managing. Looking forward to talking to you!

Ooh, how interesting! I didn't realize we had people posting from the UAE!

I've been there, but only once. My in-laws were living in Abu Dhabi as expats for a while (they are Dutch). I went out and visited them, and we went to every Emirate and into the mountains of Oman a little.

Noura80, I remember the big souk in Sharjah. It was so pretty.
