I am proud...

...to announce to all my french sisters in here that I finally lost 13 kgs I intended to when I started my efforts back on September 3rd! I still have one more kilo to lose, but I might as well stay where I am right now due to worrying about how my face will look like if my weight drops any further! I'm moving on into a new phase of equilibrium in order to consolidate my new weight and enjoy everything in moderation from now on. Sending you all my love and positive vibes !!!

Kelly...

Deontology doesn't permit me to. I didn't follow FWDGT programme that's why. But, at least, I have a Frenchman to thank for this weight loss (if this gives you a clue, then alright). Sorry for this... Btw: My aim was to lose 14 kgs. I only have another 600 grs left...Yayyy!!!

That is brilliant, well done. Be careful not to lose too much. Stay healthy and French.

Thanks, Marilyn!

Yes, I don't want to lose too much. Another 600grs and that'll be 14 kgs lost in total. I'll consolidate afterwards.

Congratulations!!

Enjoy him, the years go by in a flash, my babies are now 16, 15 and 13!!( wow, it's very hard to believe.) You are blessed, I'm so happy for you, he will bring you lots of lessons, we think we teach them and we do, but they teach us so much too. I also had each of my three babies without any drugs, it was just something I felt had to do. Instead of focusing on the pain I taught myself to focus on my new son or daughter that was coming to meet me, it helped get my through it. Enjoy ;)
