Thank you, sleeve (and Hawaii!)

Just a small scale victory, but somehow, while on vacation in Hawaii, I lost almost 7 lbs! Plus, I finally broke the 240 lb barrier, weighing in at 239.7 lbs!

I felt like I ate a lot of junk food, but the truth is I wasn't eating much at all (too busy having fun to eat!) and most of it was Protein. That plus snorkeling and having fun in the sun all day means weight loss galore.

So, thank you, sleeve, for making my vacation a weight loss success along with a vacation success! Now if I could just kick this stupid cold I picked up on the plane ride back (*grumble grumble kids who don't cover their mouths when they cough grumble*)

Hey there, congrats on having a fab vacation and losing so much weight at the same time! I just got back from a business trip and had to eat out for every meal, and I lost weight too (never would've happened pre-sleeve!). My husband and I are planning to go to Hawaii in September ... I can't wait to go snorkeling (something I've long wanted to do but too ashamed of my fat body to try). Your post got me all excited for my own fab Hawaii vacation! I hope your cold eases up quickly!

Hey, that's great! How can you possibly beat Hawaii and weight loss in the same trip??

Hope you get over that cold soon.

Hope you feel better soon!

I'm jealous of your vacation.

Travel and weight loss....and all along you feel guilty because you are sure you are gaining (um, Mojitos, maybe) but actually losing. Congrats.

Hey man,

Great to hear about Hawaii, I had the same thing happen on a trip to Curacao last Fall-- I have not been around the forums much as it seems my latest addiction is playing golf and reading golf forums

Offically down 100 lbs post op, and I stopped even thinking about trying to lose a couple of months ago, It just seems to happen a little at a time now with all of the activity. After the Curacao trip I stalled at around 235 until the new year--then it has just started falling off again. Was at 219 this morning. I try to make better choices on food and always keep low quantity, but I am known to grab bad foods now and then especially when I am active outside all day and just need some callories.

I will have to do my 1 year update soon! Take care an keep up the great work!
