My scale in Syria wasn't that expensive, but it wasn't digital. And we just had it adjusted to by the same as the doctor's scale. Are you getting them in pounds or kilos?
Seeing my weight, definately makes me more motivated. I lost the weight with my first daughter and I'll do it this time, too... I'm just looking at maybe needing another month or two this time...
Alhamdulillah, I slept almost normally last night (insomnia is a problem I've been having) and to top that off, my weight is starting to come off a little. InshaAllah today is going to be a good day!
Insha'allah you'll have some fun tomorrow and may Allah give us the courage and discipline to watch what we eat, and not over do it, during this wonderful holiday. Ameen!
And if you dont post some good Eid recipes.. Im gonna have a problem with you lol j/K.... but really, recipes, please!! I'll post a few after the festivities end
And, this friday, Im taking a prego test I'll let you know the results... Insha'allah I'll find that little line
Eid mubarak! InshaAllah you're all having a wonderful holiday...
My husband and older daughter will get back from Syria on Thursday, but they're having a great time with family while I clean myself to death before they get back, hehe. I guess it counts as exercise, though...
I feel good about the fact that I've lost a little over five pounds in five weeks (that's how long they've been away). That's the rate I should be losing...two months or so and I'll fit back into my clothes again!
As for Eid recipes, my husband usually likes yabra. I don't think that requires a recipe, besides, it's just a little different everywhere. He said that my mother in law made aish bilbol and lots of other things this year...I'd prefer shish barak, which tastes good with ground turkey instead of beef or lamb...Since I don't have anyone around to help me cook and I'm definately not cooking a ton just for myself, I just had steak over spinach salad.
I'm going to have a late Eid party next week, though, inshaAllah with all my family and I might roast a turkey...my dad's trying to unload the one in his freezer on me...
ive not been so sucessful i gained 3 kilos... and im not sure why.. i havnt changed any habits.. but then again, i dont know why i lost the first 12 in the first place...
InshaAllah you'll start losing again soon. There are so many reasons for gaining weight...
Yabra are stuffed/rolled grape leaves. Aish Bilbol are a little like lachmajin (turkish/arab pizza)--but smaller and with a different kind of dough under the topping. Shish barak is pretty much homemade beef tortellini in a yogurt-garlic-coriander sauce. They're all very common, but time consuming, recipes from Aleppo...
I've been plateauing...but inshaAllah things will change fast. I won't be weighing myself, because I joined the G2009 thing and have just hid my scale.
wow!! all those sound DELICIOUS!!!
sorry i havnt been on here lately =( ive been more busy with TTC than weight loss =/
but i think i might be pregnant this month!! i'll know for sure in maybe a week =)
I'm a Muslimah. Just joined the forum today. Good to know there are some other Muslims on the site.
Working on losing weight and doing ok so far. I live in the US. I had no idea scales could be so expensive in other countries. Another thing I take for granted.
we found a digital one sooo cheap
