Hello from Norway!

Hi all! I just joined 5 days ago and I'm so loving MFP! I've never counted calories before so it's been a real eye-opener. And I LOVE that there are tons of Norwegian/Scandinavian food products in the database. Saves me sooo much time when a lot of the foods I eat are already there. :smile:

I've had 3 little girls in the past 8 years and have put on a few permanent kgs with each. And then suddenly started gaining weight this winter. Since obesity is in my family I want to take care of this and not let it get out of hand.

I'm 171 cm (a little over 5'7").
My current weight is 71.5 kgs (about 158 lbs)
My current goal is 66.5 kgs

I haven't done my first weigh in yet. That'll be on wednesday and I'm sooo nervous!!

    Thanks for your welcome everyone! I don't live very far from Kristiansand actually. A little over an hour.

    Glad there are others here that are new to counting calories too. :D
