Big move to USA, missing active friends.

Hi!!
I'm Liz, I just moved from Syd, Aus to Houston, Tx a year ago and I put on 15lbs within first 6 months thanks to all the new food.. thankfully I've worked it all back off but I've lost motivation and I'm 1 month out from my Hawiian wedding.
I generally eat healthy and try working out 5-6 days a week, however, I work full time and haven't had chance to be social and make new friends outside of my small workplace so I have no workout or hiking buddies and it sucks.
Hopefully MFP will give me that extra drive.

    Just from Idaho to San Antonio. Not to far but huge cultural difference.
