Update: Weight Loss Tracking & Blog Design

Bonjour!

I thought I would give my lovely readers a quick update on what I have been up to over the past (busy) few weeks.

Weight goal tracking

My goal back in November 2011 was to lose 5kg (I know it can seem very little to some, but keep in mind I'm only 156 cm - and 5 kg on a small girl makes a HUGE difference). By mid-December (after doing Hypoxi), I had lost half the weight I wanted to and was happy with the result. I survived Christmas and have been maintaining my weight relatively well ever since (I exercise 3 to 4 times a week and eat a little bit of everything including occasional naughty treats!).

However, after thinking about it over the weekend, I feel like it's time again to "change my eating habits" (note I don't use the word "diet", because French girl don't diet, me included). I've calculated that if I reduce my food intake by approximately 500 calories a day (I never count calories, but I know roughly how much calories every food has), or if increase my exercise routine, then I can reach my goal by 1st April!

Sounds good doesn't it?! Let's see if I can make it happen, just by eating "like the French"!

Blog

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who are spending time leaving me kind comments, providing me with feedback through my survey and supporting me on FB and Twitter!

Mademoiselle Slimalicous' readers list is growing fast which makes me VERY HAPPY because I want to encourage every woman to take the steps and actions to feel more confident and happy with themselves! I'm very passionate about this blog and about the topic of nutrition and in particular about the French paradox (the reason why French women don't get fat).

Also, I'm working on a new blog design at the moment, and I'm very excited about it, hoping you will all LOVE IT. 

Finally, I hope everyone is enjoying the regular giveaways on Mademoiselle Slimalicious. I'm trying to be very selective when accepting to run competitions on my blog. I always think about my readers first and considering the success of the past and current competitions, I'd like to think everyone is happy with my choices (if not just let me know, I like honesty). I wish I could do more international giveaways, as I know many of my loyal readers are located in France, Canada, UK and Europe but because of shipping cost it's unfortunately not often possible.

Note, I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned it but I do NOT receive any form of payment for the product reviews or giveaways on Mademoiselle Slimalicious.

If you have any questions for me, please always feel free to contact me via the blog, social media or email.

Lots of Love,
