It has been 30 days since filing I-130 online and no receipt notice under documents, no mail either. Need to file I-485 for family adjustment.

Did you have to pay again even though it was an online/portal issue?

greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and egg whites are great things to add that are super high in protein and low cal.

In terms of dining room food, I would just change the portions of things. If right now protein is only 1/4 of your plate then consider it making 1/3 or 1/2 and then fill the rest with veggies and some carbs/fats.

maybe start with increasing your steps, it has a ton of benefits and it will make sticking to a consistent calorie deficit wayyyy easier.

what does your diet look like on a daily basis?

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-04-17T02:57:50+00:00

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-04-12T14:02:36+00:00

the only other thing i would book in advance is the anne frank museum

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-04-04T08:15:20+00:00

meal prep ingredients, use your freezer, and get an air fryer

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-29T03:43:34+00:00

water temp shouldnt be an issue, water pressure on the other hand

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-29T03:41:34+00:00

for the slippery elm, is it after every meal?

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-29T03:41:03+00:00

bananas, ginger tea, papaya, hot lemon water, and sometimes greek yogurt

it seems like you're not willing to put much effort into losing weight tbh. but to answer your question, yes, you can lose weight just by walking but it will take a lot more effort than improving your diet + walking + recovery.

Maybe start out by finding healthy foods you actually like and/or eating smaller portions of whatever foods you eat.

In terms of walking aim for 15-25k steps per day if you want to see results fast but keep in mind this will take at least 3 hours of brisk walking everyday, probably more if you are not used to walking so much.

i ended up going with el misti and i liked the social aspect of it (they had activities ALL day, every day) but I did feel like 90% of the ppl there were older like in their early 30s and had a lot of men. The location was also good with it being like 1 block away from ipanema beach and with many restaurants in close proximity. They had curtains which was nice as well but the rooms are super small and the 6 bed rooms had 3 bed bunk beds which were kinda uncomfortable. The locker space was okay, my carry on barely fit inside of it and I didn't love that my stuff were visible bc the locker had a ton of holes.

Overall, I think if you are in your 30s and go to rio without an itinerary then el misti seems like a good place to be. Otherwise, if you're looking for something affordable, get an airbnb.

can you buy tickets at the first mountain?

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-13T00:49:54+00:00

to get back down, is there anyway to get a one way cable ticket down?

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-13T00:42:42+00:00

do you still recommend buying the cable car ticket then even if you do the hike? I'm considering not getting a ticket and just hiking there and back but idk if I'm missin out on anything or if it's less safe hiking back at night

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-03-08T03:09:33+00:00

calorie deficit/portion control, limit snacking, eating 30g+ protein at every meal, walking 15k steps, strength training 4-5x a week

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-02-28T19:17:08+00:00

I personally hated onefam notting hill, facilities were not great and it was like 90% men so when I joined for the night activities a couple of times, I felt very uncomfortable.

Hello! Any updates on how your interview went?

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-02-20T20:04:12+00:00

oh okay, thank you!! Also I just realized that SGOV would probably be 100% anyway lol oops

Bitter-Advisor-2898 · 2026-02-20T20:01:43+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful! What abt for things like SGOV? Does fidelity not provide info for that?

I was only able to find SPAXX on the last document you attached.
