I have just returned from a 15 night cruise to Hawaii and I did NOT gain a pound! I did not eat like I should but thanks to having lost 65 pounds, one of those pounds was during the cruise, I was able to take the stairs and run around the ports like crazy. My weight loss has not been at warp speed like so many others but it has been at a slow steady pace that I am so thankful for! I am one of those people that chose not to tell anyone what I had done, other than hubby, and with my slower weight loss I have not had to explain myself. I eat normal food, I'm not following a low anything diet. I eat what I want but thankfully most of what I crave has been healthier choices. I had dessert every night but just ate about a third and half on a few nights. I was terribly afraid that I was gonna' come home heavier and was so pleased and thankful that I was spared the guilt pounds. I am posting this for those who are newly sleeved to see that life goes on and can in fact be better than ever!!!

Fantastic work, love hearing the slow loser celebration stories!!!

Now you are making me want to go on a cruise!!!!! Sounds like a great vacation: eat what you want, have loads of fun doing fun and active activities AND you lost a pound.....sign me up!

Fantastic!!! Gotta love that sleeve :-)

My partner and I were talking about the holidays last night. He was saying that he is already eating too much junk (Halloween candy) and how its only going to get worse through the end of the year. I chuckled to myself because I will probably lose a little weight through the holidays. I have had 2 bites of candy and I am not interesed in any more of it. We bought a pumpkin pie because it was on sale - I took one bite and almost gagged because it was too sweet. No more pie for me.

Could it be that this will be a season when I am actually in control of myself? Now THAT'S something to Celebrate.

Congrats!
