lost weight on vacation!

I just got back from a 3 week adventurous honeymoon in South America (hiking, swimming, SCUBA, but also enjoying the local food). I lost a bit over a pound a week while I was gone!!! That's better than when I'm home.

I was trying to keep my meals full of salads and fruits, like I do at home, but I'm amazed I lost so much. Yay.

That is amazing, and it sounds like a fabulous vacation! Can't wait until I'm at a point where I can take fun, active vacations instead of all of them focusing around what restaurant we will go to next.

I found the same when I was in Central America in January, while drinking about 2-3 beer a day ! I was there for 1.5 weeks and lost 5 lbs. My metabolism usually slows to a crawl with beer, and my stomach protests (I am gluten free). I think it is the heat and activity that differs from normal activity at home.

That's great!I love that! I usually lose on vacation, also, because I end up just walking and walking ALL day. I like to see everything. :happy:

Congrats!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my vacation as well....I leave for Disney World in 3 weeks and will be there for 11 days, they have so much good food that i'm hoping that all the walking and good food choices that i'll at least maintain if not lose.

Your trip sounds AMAZING. I'm jealous! Congrats on the loss.
