Hello from Kazakhstan.

Hello all my fellow January folks. I have not posted in quite some time as I have been very busy on a project and just never seemed to have the time. I am in a bit of limbo waiting on some things to come about and had a few mins. I am putting my company onto a new software in Kazakhstan and have been in Atyrau since last Wed. Travel here was long. The 1st flight was 8.75 hrs to AMS then a long 9 hr layover due to a flight delay, then another 7 hrs, then 24 hrs layover in Almaty, then finally arriving in Atyrau on Wed at 7am. The limits to what food is avail is staggering for me being a picky eater. So many things are just off limits. Needless to say I have not lost any weight in quite some time. I have been on the road either in ABerdeen or now here for the last few months. I might be on a plateau now also, which makes sense, but it does seem that when I travel I loose the least amount of weight. I wi**** were not true but it does seem that way, I want to take advantage of the honeymoon period but this traveling in eating into my take advantage time !! I have another 5 wks here, and just hope I can find enough to eat and not become ill. I brought peanut butter and crackers with me for those cirtical times, and a few protein bars. No protein drinks because I am beginning to hate them, plus I only like them very cold, and getting ice here is impossible, plus we cannot drink the water, soo... Well all for now. Kiva 369/252/195?

Well Kiva, good luck there hun.. it does not seem like there is anything I can suggest since you are so limited being where you are. Good luck sweetie!

I have absolutely no idea where the heck you are. Geography was never my strong point, but I just wanted to ask if you have access to yogurt. I mix my protein unflavored Unjury or Procel powder with yogurt and it is totally undetectable and an easy way to get that protein powder in. Just an idea. I never liked the shakes either. Good luck where ever you are!! Lynne

Hi Kiva, Is it possible that you are taking in too much sodium? That stalls my weight loss. If I take in too many carbs then I don't drop any weight either. Try to eat protein only for a few days with lots of water and see how it goes. Take care and good luck Syndi
