    Hi everyone just joined the group, I'm from Barbados my dad is Trinidadian I've been to Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, St Lucia and st Vincent.
    I've battled with my weight my whole life but I'm hoping to change that. My number one struggle is curbing my sweet tooth (anything cake form) any advise would be appreciated.

    Hi everyone! I am new (not to MFP but to groups and adding friends, etc). I didn't know there were so many dimensions to this thing. Anyhow, I was born and raised in St. Thomas, but my whole family is from Antigua so I just say I'm from both. I do agree that our diets are carb heavy. Even though it doesn't show up on my ticker, I started at 165 and am now down to 159.6 (slow and steady) but I don't know what will happen if someone comes to visit with bread, tart, bun and cheese. I'll have to amp up the kickboxing classes.

    Good morning, I am from ST.Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands but currently living in New York. I have been on this site for a year or so but only recently started adding groups and friends. I really got back on track in May where I started again at 175lbs and now I'm down to 168lbs. My goal is 145lbs and I am 5' 7". Our food is very starch heavy, peas and rice, macaroni and cheese, potato stuffing plus meat all in one meal. :noway: I was wondering if any of you have tried to remake your traditional foods with calorie cutting substitutions and how did they turn out?
