I have so enjoyed following your weightloss after 50 posts. It has provided just the incentive I have needed. I have followed your lead. Yesterday saw a dietitian (who also is a personal trainer) and today a hypnotherapist. Now I need to put it into practice… sigh… Thankfully the dietitian like Dr Séjean ‘allows’ favourite foods.

Bon courage! That’s wonderful. I’m sure it will work. Even during our month’s holiday in Italy in May (I began the diet in November), I didn’t put on any weight and still enjoyed the food!

Good call.
I engaged a dietician last week and, after five days, am feeling really good.
She provided me much the same advice as yours did. (Make up of plate; substituting some non-wheat carbs; drinking more tea, etc)
I am male, nearing 60, nearing retirement and really have to end a quarter century of poor portion sizes and less than ideal exercise.
I have a whole new focus. I aim to be long term.
Glad I found your 3+ year old blog!

Welcome to Aussie in France! And good luck with ending a quarter century of poor portion sizes and less than ideal exercise.
I started writing a food and drink diary on http://www.myfitnesspal.com 17 months ago (April 1, 2014). I have lost more than 20kg this period and over 35kg since my peak weight in 2006.
I am not racing too fast but I put my hand out for some Medicare supplied dietician and psychologist support to build motivation as I close in on retirement.

Well done! I think taking it slowly is the key. After all, the idea is not just to lose weight (and, wow! 35 kg) but to develop healthier eating habits and not put the weight back on. I also believe that psychologist support is essential at some time to eliminate negatives and build motivation.
The anticipation of being supervised/watched by two clever young practitioners has given me a sense of excited anticipation that someone who cares (albeit paid to care) is going to monitor my weigh in every four weeks and care about where I am headed diet-wise and offer me planning and advice.
This is a real winner concept for me as now (at 59yo) I can no longer go back to being the one male in a room of 35-55 women at a weekly Weight Watchers or slimming-club meeting. It’s NOT that the convenors there don’t care; they do. It’s just that it’s hard to pitch to the one male and the teenage boy in the room when the predominant target audience for Weight Watchers, Simple Slimmers and slimming-club is women 24-54 years.
Sadly, about half those clubs’ members are repeat members. God knows, I was! People who are not naturally skinny make great recidivists! [My thought but you may use it without copyright. (-: GRIN]

I think having a nutritionist is a great idea. It certainly worked for me! I can’t even remember seeing any males at Weight Watchers. I even felt sorry for the young women who were so outweighed (no pun intended) by the older recidivists!
There was a very lovely woman who had a penchant for cheering up her out of sorts friends. One day she sent ten different puns to each person in her group of a dozen or so friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.

Reminds me of a story I heard in 2012:
There was a very lovely woman who had a penchant for cheering up her out of sorts friends. One day she sent ten different puns to each person in her group of a dozen or so friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.
