Poppy Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Alexis, your chocolate /wine/pots demon must be affecting everyone.JanLost in the Lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Cyst has gone, visitors have gone, chocolate has gone, wine is going (right at this moment) . Diet starts Monday. I would start sooner, but we have a couple of meals out with friends. Going back to England on the 5th November for a week and want to buy something nice to wear as we have just been invited to a posh hotel for Christmas dinner. So loads of incentive to drop a few pounds (even if it's only half a stone).Jan Correze (19) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 61.7 today, tra laaaaaaaaaa! Looking like a slightly less big sack of tatties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naps Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Oh dear, I weighed in, but I didn't check in here as I was back up a kilo - my own fault, visitors and lots of cooking and meals out, willpower is at an all time low.Did weighing heavier encourage me to do something about it - no!Was totally fed up yesterday about lots of things, so munched my way through a large bag of maltesers and drank far too much wine. Visitors coming over this evening for pizzas and wine.If that's not bad enough I was stuffing my face with a cold sausage sandwich when the last notification of a posting to this site came through into my mailbox - did I feel guilty, yep but only for a couple of seconds.Shame on me!

SaligoBay Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've just been reading why women get overweight - it's because of MEN!!! It's all here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4339758.stmOf course it suggests that all nuns should be really thin. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I checked out that link SB and I have to say I would agree. Have sent you a PM which was sent to me recently. Hope it makes you laugh as much as it did me.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Still the same....I'm going to buy some scales. I must have lost somethingI am also going to try Janey's diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I was 11st 8 yesterday. Weighed myself this morning and I'm 11st 10 .... and I was really good yesterday. Drastic action called for. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 OK - I know this is not a diet question, but seems as good a place to start as any.Can anyone help me with size conversions, ie, english dress size 18, english shoe size 5. What are their french equivalents. Any useful websites showing the different conversions. Just don't get me started on bra sizes having gone from a 36C to 100C in France ..... and what's all these T3, T4, T5 size labels on clothes in the supermarket. What does it all mean - I'm confused I can't keep going back to England to buy my clothes, sooner or later I'm going to have to buy some of the lovely clothes available here in France.Also, does anybody use La Redoute. It appears I can order a catalogue from the .co.uk website, but I can't see the "request a catalogue" on the .fr site. Not that I'd understand it anyway until I get to grips with the language.

Poppy Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Have put on 1 kilo ,was following Janeys diet and getting away with it but sob sob not this week Have to take it as a wake up call and think how good I felt when I lost weight a couple of months ago. Wish I sounded more convincing.Don't quite understand what is going on though as I dont normally eat chocolate but have been stuffing it down for last couple of weeksJan I have sent an email re dress sizes and La Redoute, hope it helps.The Other Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have seen piles of these catalogues in the newsagents. You have to buy one and there is a coupon for money off in them to cover the price. It is many, many years since I have looked at one.I seem to buy all my stuff at either Cora or Carrefour. An understated elegance lookI might go shopping today and buy some scales.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opas Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The other Jan, (the one eating loads of chocies and putting on weght) the last time I had a craving I put on loads of weight....lost it all 9 months later thoughMrs O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Pretty sure I won't lose it in 9 months. Unfortunately well past that age.Managed not to eat any chocolate yesterday after getting weighed, ate potatoes instead. Today is a new start The other Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Had a pretty "healthy" day yesterday.Muesli for breakfast, Bovril and an apple for lunch, spanish omelette and salad for dinner. Mind you, mid afternoon I got a serious snack attack and ate a bar of chocolate. Will try and avoid the choccy today.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well done, I have been keeping my daughter company on Weight Watchers but while she has lost I have stayed the same, so back to South Beach which I find so much easier, also getting the treadmill set up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well done Jan, looking at your menu you should lose lots. Wish I could stick to your daily intake.Just stayed the same this week, which I guess is amazing considering what I have eaten. Not happy though desparately want to lose. Having trouble with the evening aperitif Alexis is Gilles OK?The Other Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 I just popped in to say I have abandoned ship.I am afraid that Gilles is very ill indeed and I am at the hospital all day and when I do get home I can't be bothered. WHEN he gets better, I will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suninfrance Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi Alexis - hope things are improving for you (Have sent PM).I am definately going to get my thyroid checked. Lost 3lbs last week on a very restrictive diet, but doing the same so far this week, I have lost nothing and I am starving.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Shouldn't worry about it Jan, my daughter is doing Weight Watchers, was away the weekend before last, ate non stop and lost 4lbs, this week not an extra point has crossed her lips and as of tonight she hasn't lost an iota........
