Hi i am new to this, started using it a few weeks ago lasted a week then went a week without posting. I would love some friends to hold me accountable and kick my butt if i loss track again.

I have moved from New Zealand to Denmark and am finding it a lot harder to find the motivation to exercise and be healthy here. In NZ i had a gym membership and a personal trainer to keep me going but they are things i can not afford here and doing it on my own is not working.

Any advice would be helpful!

    Its rough keeping good habits when you move to a new place and are feeling stressed. Do you have family or friends with you for support?

    I'm living in a new city away from my community for six months for an internship, and this place makes me awfully depressed. Last year when I did this I gained nearly 20 pounds!

    This year I'm determined to use the solitude for self-development instead of sulking and eating comfort food.

    It's about eating healthy whole foods in the right Portion. Buy a food scale and measure everything until you are familiar with true portion size. Welcome and good luck.

    Welcome to MFP!! This is a great website with very supportive people!! My best advice, especially as a member on this site: UTILIZE IT!! Take advantage of the calorie counter, food database, comments, questions, and concerns on posts!! Everyone wants to see you succeed. Best of luck to you!!
