A cute new Bikini for vacation to keep me on track

snowbunnies

I just ordered a new bikini online that should be getting here right before my long awaited trip to Jamaica.

I'm leaving in a week and a half... and have a lot of difficult situations to get through before my trip. A dinner this week at an all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse (I love meat ! ) and an open-bar party for the 4th of July.

I vowed to not open the package unless I'm within 2 pounds of my 7/7 goal weight the day before I fly out. I'm really hoping the anticipation is going to keep me on track.

I'd really appreciate any tips on handling all you can/eat drink scenarios from the seasoned veterans here!

... I know I won't look like this in it, but a girl can wish

You'd need A TON of surgery to look like that! You're adorable & you're au-natural. No reason to look like you're smuggling melons under your shirt. :noway:

Adorable suit! I also have a beach vacation coming up very soon that I'm getting ready for. It's tough!

At all-you-can-eat places, just treat it like a place where you get 1 plate and that's it. Don't treat it like an endless meal. Get what you want and then stop after 1 plate. Also, stick to the lower calorie drinks like light beer or vodka soda water with lemon or lime. Don't go for the sugary mixed drinks, unless it's mixed with a 0 calorie soda. GOOD LUCK! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on taking a vacation to Jamaica.
That was my inspiration to lose weight last August (we were leaving in February)
I didn't order a bikini but I had some old (Old! Old!) ones here and a friend of mine cleaned her closet out I was good to go.
With being in an all-in-clusive what I did was took a little of this and a little of that and didn't really eat all of it as for the food.
As for the drinks!!!
Some days I watched what I was doing and some days I didn't.
But, everyday I was out on the beach doing laps walking 2-4 miles (mind you with not drinking as much as usual I had lots of energy in the morning) so for 9 days of being gone I only gained 5 lbs.
I also did lots of snorkeling, swimming and volleyball (which I can thank MFP and all my friends here for helping me lose weight and feel GREAT!) All the other years I was a bump on the log and just sat and read.
Enjoy your trip and have fun but do it in moderation.

P.S. Where are you staying?

Oh! Those are so great tips... volleyball and runs/walks on the beach sound like a blast. I should bring a set of work out clothes and my running shoes

This is going to be my first time in Jamaica.. I'll be staying at the Iberostar Rose Hall. Do you go there often?

^hahahah that made me laugh, i totally agree! statistics say women with implants regret it within 5 years of getting them. You look gorgeous the way you are
