An American in Paris undergoing her quarter-life crises

Time for an Update?
So sorry, everyone. I can't believe it's been 6 months. Things have just been so busy here - work is insane and I've been studying for the GMAT for the last 3 months. That'll be over and done with in 2 weeks, though. And, I'm happy to report - I'm still losing weight, but very slowly now.
Starting Weight, 2 April 2009: 70.8 kg (~156.1 lbs)
Current Weight, 23 January 2010: 57.5 kg (126.7 lbs)
Total: -13.3 kg, -29.4 lbs
Also - here's a piccie of me from just before Christmas!
Hi! My name is Kate, a couple years younger & I noticed you on the WW site because I used to live in Paris (but I was not born there and was homeschooled. I left five years ago so I don't really retain any French sadly). My username on WW is 'znowhite' - I requested you as a friend :p. I have a blog there but it's really not about me, more about my weight and how that defines my mood, my feelings regarding myself. I'm not discouraging you from checking it out though because it's rather lonely..
Anyway. I'm in awe of 1) your beauty 2) how much weight you've lost. It's amazing. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Also, were you into running/strenuous exercise before you began to lose weight? Did it take quite a long time to feel tolerant and good about it? Sorry, I'm full of questions. You seem like someone I'd want to be friends with.
Hey there! I found you from the WW boards... I unfortunately had to leave Paris due to visa issues, but I'm working my butt off to get back there. When are you planning on moving to England? That's so exciting...
I'm a complicated, contradictory, slightly crazy mess. But aren't we all?
I like rainy days best of all, but mostly because it makes me appreciate all things cosy and warm. My tastes swing from wildly modern to bordering on shabby-vintage. I've never met a cupcake I didn't like, and I collect souvenirs (junk?) like it's my job. I'll shop anywhere, from Target to BCBG. The more outrageous the color combination, the more likely it will become a "must-have" for me.
I'm 24 but I still feel like a child most days -- though everyone assures me this is normal. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I'm starting to recognize my own mortality, which makes most career choices seem trivial and inane. I'm still trying to find my great passions and figure out where I lie on the moral compass, which takes up a lot of time -- more than I generally have to give. I work like anyone else, shop like anyone else, eat like anyone else, pay bills like anyone else, and sometimes I have to stop and wonder -- is this all there is?

I am very pleased to see your beautiful change of silhouette.
