Hello

Good luck on your diet. I have just started the Montignac plan as well. I have about 18kgs (40lbs) to lose. I live in Richmond, London. I am no expert on the plan, but I thought you might like to correspond with someone who is starting at the same time. Living in Richmond upon Thames I walk a lot. I used to go to Amsterdam and Leiden a lot on business, so I know what you mean about walking. I think it is a European thing, and when I lived in the US (Boca Raton and New Orleans) people used their cars for even the shortest journeys, so I know your difficulty. I also lived in NZ and people walk there too.

I am happy to share any recipes I concoct and would welcome your tips and recipes as well.

One of my problems is that I eat even when I am not hungry, but I am bored or stressed, especially in the evening. I don't eat bad things, but my body doesn't need it and hence I am becoming chubbier and chubbier. I am 5'2" and weigh 148lbs.
