Next week in Paris I may need to eat a little CAKE!!!!

Even with a free Continental Breakfast I'll still be able to stay high-protein as eggs are included. Just need to pack my Atkins meal replacement bars...

Gosh, how good you are! Me, I would just enjoy the cake and bin the Atkins bars. Unless you are there for a month!

Enjoy Paris. One of my favourite cities, I lived there many years ago!

Hi Kate.

Just had my latest medical, all good. I'm still losing weight at 2.5 years out, but about 2 lbs every three months! Want to lose another 8 lbs or so.....
I've never been to Paris. Janice wants to do the usual, I just want to visit the aerospace and the Picasso museum. And of course keep the boss smiling......

I still can't eat a lot of vegetables or fruit, as my stomach rejects them, so Atkins comes naturally. I can eat huge amounts of cursed carbs, but am hungry again an hour later, so I try to leave them alone completely.

Have a good week.

Glad all still good on the VSG front! You have done so wonderfully well!

Paris is great! Warning, usually very hot end of July, August. It's a very walkable city. One good way, depending on where you are staying, is to take a bateau mouche ( river boat!) down or upstream and then walk back, doing the sights along the way. Some bits are just so crowded! Like Montmartre and Sacre Coeur, but still worth seeing.

Have a great time!

Thanks for the advice. As part of the hotel deal we have a one-day ticket for the boat, so we'll use that. We also plan to use the circular tourist buses for hopping on and off.
We fly Sunday evening, first experience with a budget airline...
