Hi Derek and welcome!!

You have done VERY well. If I have converted right (I cheated by using Google!) you have lost about 100 lbs! WOW!

Are you enjoying living in Paris? I moved to the UK (England) about three months ago and so I am still a relative newbie!!

So glad to see you posting. Keep on chiming in-we need you!!

Peace.

Hi Therese,

thanks for your warm welcome, i'm happy that there is a group on this side of the pond.

Yeah, 100lbs lost, i'm so happy. I'm actually 106kg having started at 150kg so i'm looking forward to getting below 100kgs.

i love living in paris, i dont think i could live anywhere else(perhaps on a caraben island  lol ). Also, i'm very tied here as i got into recovery from booze, cigs and food here.

What are you doing in england? My dad came from manchester so i know the north quite well, but its a litte chilly for me

i made a mistake last night, i ate a slice of my sons birthday cake, within 10 minutes i was in the toilet trowing up, i guess i dumped, in a way i'm happy i did as the idea of eating cake appealed to me

take care

Hi Derek, I love Paris. Lived in Neuilly-sur-Seine for about a year a long time ago and we visit quite often now. You think of Manchester as cold (I was brought up in the Lake District so even colder), well, I remember being freezing in Paris the winter I was there! But that was because I was young and insisted on being trendy in my smart leather coats instead of nice warm woollies!

It was definitely a fun place to be (without parents) for an 18 year old!!

Hi Derek

welcome!!  You have done fabulous!!  Shame you dumped on the cake, but at least you wont do that again in a hurry...

Look forward to getting to know you.  I had rny May 06 so am a bit further down the road than you, but haven't lost as much as you though.  Did you have your wls in Paris or UK?  What was yoru experience like?

Good news that you are finding healing from your problems, including food.  Hope that continues to go well in Paris - stay where it's working for you!!!

PS. my hubbie has been promising me a weekend in Paris for the last 17 years, so I may take you up on that offer to meet up if I can convince him to take me any time soon!!  haha
