My first year in the United States, I gained 40 pounds easily as a freshman in college hitting about 140 pounds. My five year in the States I lost about 30 pounds, hitting an all time low of about 90 pounds total from the stress of leaving my husband (then, boyfriend) Immigration is the best diet lol.

I gained weight when I first moved to America but I was six so I don't think that counts. When I lived in Italy I think I lost weight. I most def gained weight in Albania. I ate out every meal or my husband's mom cooked for me. The food is so good and all organic! I walk more in America than in Albania and that didn't help my waistline while abroad.

Whenever I go to Ghana I lose weight.

I think its more of the kinds of foods I eat, less fried and processed foods, more fresh fruits and veggies.

I lost a lot of weight when I first got to korea. But that was cause my work was a 20 min walk away and then I would walk another 20 mins the other to way to go shopping. SO I put in a good hour to hour and half walking every day.

Then I moved to a new job where the school is just across the street and gained all that weight back.

I have yet to make it to the states for a long time, so I will see how that will effect me
