Vegetable curry? Can you come cook at my house? Seriously, that sounds fantastic. I love curry.

Sorry about that comfort food list. We all have had one of those. Now you should make a list of 10 reasons why you're not going to eat for comfort!

I had a really good day again yesterday, i am really chuffed with myself!!
well i may aswell tell you a bit about myself now.
I am 27 years old i am married to Dave hes 35 and a staff sergeant in the army we have been married for 8 years. I have 2 children mollie who is 7 and tyler- jack who is nearly 3. we have been living in germany for 3 and a half years we have just recently moved to another part of germany so am trying to adjust, i get quite homesick for england, not so much the town i come from but england. i joined the armed forces when i was 17 years old as a chef i stayed in for 4 years i left after i had my daughter, as i couldnt bare to be parted from her for six months as there was a tour to bosnia coming up so i decided to leave!!
at the moment i am studying reflexology and aromatherapy as i am really intrested in holistic therapys.
at the moment i am a stay at home mum but as tyler-jack will be starting pre school in September i am looking for a job so keep your fingers crossed!!!!
i found this forum by accident, but i am really glad i did as you all seem soooooooo nice and you have tons of great advice too, i hope i can return the favour for you all to!!

Glad you found us, Helena! It's hard to move, although I'm sure much harder for you, since you are in a different country! There is always that period of adjustment, figuring out how everything works in that particular area.
I started posting here, thinking my journal would probably be something I did just for myself -- and it is, but I'm impressed at how many people actually take the time to read other's journals, and comment on them. There's always an encouraging word, or someone who knows exactly how you feel. It really helps to know you aren't alone in this, and that everyone has their ups and downs.
A chef, huh.... got any good recipes to share?

I used to be in the Army too. I come from an Army family, when I was in, so was my brother and my dad. My parents used to be stationed at Ktown in Germany, where are you at?

I have always found something great that I normally wouldnt have found when looking for something else. I think this site is a great little island to have in the middle of the busy internet highway. Who cares how we all landed here, but that we are still here! We have slowly become our own (LOST) family. We are always there for each other and occasionally we have to battle the big, bad, ugly food monster, and evil numbers. (Luckily ours arent on a hatch.) I am still looking for Sawyer on our forum boards though....
Good luck with your weight loss quest!

I'm glad you found the site. The site has helped me a lot since I joined back in February. The people here are so friendly and always offering advice and motivation.

I think since I joined I have been pushing myself more, just so I can post my results on here and wow people. *LOL*

Hi everyone!!!
I hope you all had a Fab weekend!! First off all i have to tell you i emailed Dr Jeff last week, something which i have never done before!! And i got a reply, I hope it was him who replied and not somebody else but anyway it has made my day!!!
Normally weekends are my undoing where food is concerned, but this weekend i have not eaten anything bad!!!
oh and i would just like to say i am never ever ever giving my kids hot dogs again, we have this programm here called you are what you eat!!! Well i was shocked to discover that hot dogs are made from pigs snouts and all the left over bits. i was nearly sick on the spot!! I am really sorry if i have put you off hotdogs now but i was actually quite mortified!!!
All in all i have had a great weekend i feel energised and ready to start exercising. YIPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
