Mrs. CMK

I am happy to report that we had an amazing time on our cruise during Valentine's week. I am even more happy to report that for the most part I made good food choices ( I did not count calories though) and did exercise while on the cruise, in addition to some huge amounts of walking while in port. Even with all of that, I did gain 3 lbs. Statistics show that the average "cruiser" gains 1.5 lbs PER DAY! With that being said, I think I did pretty good. We returned from our cruise on 2/17 and I have lost the 3 lbs + 1 lb for a total of 4 lbs. Yahoo! Got right back on that horse and even found that I kind of missed my rountine. Who would have thunk it???? Thanks for letting me share.

I finally feel comfortable in sharing some before and after pictures. Still working at it but I feel good about my progress so far.

Have you tried jogging your metabolism? Several people on the forum have tried something called "carb cycling" with success. Alternating between high carb and low carb days to jumpstart your weight loss when it is at a plateau. I have not tried it yet but have it in my hip pocket, ready to use, when I hit that plateau. I am no expert on it but you can put "carb cycling" in the search field on this forum and there is all kinds of information. Of course, you can google it too. Hope that helps.

You look great!

It is so normal to be a little scared. You will do great. Do everything the dr. tells you to do. It is so worth it. I wish you all the best.

I think you did (and are doing) really great. To go on a cruise, which are known for their non stop food, and only gain a couple pounds AND immediately lose it again? Seriously, you are doing amazing. You've definitely "got this"!!

Good job! I have found that most of my weight gain on cruises is due to Fluid retention and comes off fairly easily. Still, it's hard to get back on the wagon and be successful and it appears you've done it! Congrats!!
