My surgery=same date, also down 47!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I'm out of country on business so not going to be able to weigh in for almost 2 weeks. Any guesses at how much I will lose?

I say 10 lbs... There is really nothing to do in the hotels after work but eat, drink, watch TV, work out or swim so we expect you to be in the pool or in the gym! LOL

Take some protein shake packets with you.

Well, I missed you said "out of the country" you have to sight see so ad walking to the list.

Yeah I will have to look into the gym. It's a mine site in Madagascar. So I'm sure there is one, I'll ask around. 10lbs will be quite a bit I think. But will be very welcome

I find I can't have my regular shakes and haven't had the time to find ones that agree with me. I will have to just make sure I get my fish and chicken in where possible. Only thing is I also cannot get my 5 to 6 meals a day. But I do my best to make sure I'm getting what my body needs. I hope that it's not too much of a bad thing.

ElleG, how's the water and protein intake going? Any loses yet?

Have you tried NECTAR protein shakes? I got my samples last week and they are not bad at all, I keep at least one packet in my purse in case of "emergency" which means being away from home, the fruit ones are good, just add water and ice!

The scale moved a little this morning so I'm excited about that. I have to remain consistant with the water that looks like that was my problem! THANKS FOR THE TIP!!!

You can do it! It should be an interesting trip do a some exploring by foot (stay safe tho) and hopefully you will sweat a lot

Always glad to help a fellow loser.

I used to be a water baby ( I literally dream of swimming, and drinking water), and now I find that now I have to get back into the habit..

Just keep it up, and it will fall off. I am so keen to see if I am still losing but I forgot to pack my scale :-(

That might be a good thing... You will work extra hard because you don't know where you are and you will have that exciting weigh in when you get home. Have a AWESOME time even tho it's work! LOL
