This is a great idea to start a thread for weekly weigh-ins. It's so much easier to stay motivated and on track when you have a supportive community to share your journey with. Setting a goal of 0.5kg per week is a very healthy and realistic target. It's all about consistency and focusing on those small, sustainable changes that lead to long-term success. We're all here to cheer you on!

Choosing the right neighborhood is one of the most important decisions you'll make when relocating, so it's a great question to ask. You'll find that there are many areas in Dubai with a strong family feel. Some of the most popular choices that fit your criteria for a good community and schools are neighborhoods like Arabian Ranches or The Springs. Both offer beautiful villas, plenty of green spaces, and a fantastic sense of community with schools and parks right on your doorstep. No matter which area you're leaning toward, try to visit during the week to get a feel for the traffic and the daily vibe. Good luck with your move!

Finding a reliable and trustworthy cleaning service is a top priority for many of us, so this is a great question. There are a lot of fantastic companies in Dubai, and it's best to go with a company that has good personal recommendations. When you're choosing, you should look for a service that has a strong vetting process for their staff and offers flexible scheduling. You should also clarify if they provide their own supplies or if you need to provide them. This will help you find a service that's a perfect fit for your home.
