I’m very amused that your doctor agreed to have her photo taken for the blog! I can just imagine how uncomfortable such a request would make our doctor.

She’s very nice, but she is the author of a nutrition book and a medical journalist as well.

The wine is a killer, isn’t it? I just wish it was low calorie and low alcohol! We’ve had to cut down as well.
I’ve been trying hard to stick to my diet. I’m making slow progress but at least it’s progress. I’ve been using http://www.fitbit.com/ to keep track of my food and exercise which is helping a lot.

Slow progress is the best. It’s more likely to last. I took about 13 months to lose my 20 kilos, then kept them off for 15 months. I’ll always have to watch my weight though because I’m not a natural skinny! And thanks for the fitbit.com link. Looks interesting.

I plan on following this diet after I have the baby in June! Right now I’m trying to eat sensibly but I’ve had some very rich meals and I know that I’ve piled on some weight recently (since Christmas). Sadly my rearend seems to be growing as much as the bump! I’m sure you’ll manage to lose those 5 kilos quickly. I do think it’s somewhat natural to put on a bit of weight over the winter. It’s hard to be as active and with the cold comfort food (and I include wine is this category) is much more tempting than in the summer when it’s easier to eat lighter meals! Good luck 🙂

It’s difficult when you’re pregnant because it’s only natural to store weight for breastfeeding. And I agree about the winter weight. I’ll be happy to lose 3 or 4 kilos if I can, then take the other one or two off as summer approaches.

It looks as though the neighbourhood association (1er arrondissement) is going to be handing out galettes des rois. If you don’t know what they are, you can read my last year’s post, Galette des Rois – King’s Cake. We decide we’ll check in on the way back, despite my diet. […]

[…] I don’t understand where those extra kilos come from. I don’t even have a sweet tooth! I hate to think what would happen if I did. Between November 2009 and January 2011, I lost 20 kilos. They stayed off for about 18 months, then very slowly, five crept back on. In January this year, I went back to see my nutritionist Dr Séjean and was determined to lose them. I even blogged about it!
