New on the block

Hi everyone. My name is Terry. I am an Army Wife and a mom of four. We are stationed in Europe for the next 2 yrs. Being here has not helped with my weight. I have gained 27lbs in the past year. I'm sure it had to do with the stresses of selling our house and moving to another country. I have now hit 211 and I am done being this size. I am open to any ideas that anyone has and I am very excited to start my new life of eating healthy.

Welcome to the site! You weigh about the same as me, I’m looking to get down to about 175. Feel free to add me as a friend, I’m always on here, so when that cake looks appealing, I can always offer support :-)

Good luck with the weight loss!

Dan

I'm new to this too, but from what I have observed over the week I've been apart of the community the people on here really do care, eventhough we are strangers. I am a Navy wife, and we are stationed in Japan. it is definitely stressful so I understand. great thing is that you are reaching out & stepping up to make changes to your situation (weight loss). I wish you all the best, on your journey

I can empathize with weight gain from moving, I also gained 40 pounds in the last two years since moving to Europe. I notice that the foods that are in the diary don't always match the ingredients we have here but I try to add the closest thing. So far, I'm loving MFP and I hope you will too. People are super sweet. One person suggested that I log food before I eat it and I think that's a great suggestion so I'm passing it on to you.

Sending you wishes for a good start and a successful outcome!
