    I went to Vegas for 4 days in March, drank my body weight in champagne (at least), ate crap, walked a lot, came back and I'd lost a pound. Don't worry about it! If you walk everywhere on the strip during the day, you'll burn hella calories :)

    It's a great place to get in LOTS OF WALKING!!!! Buffets are great for lots of fresh fruits!!! You can go and not gain. Just make wise choices and limit your alcohol intake to 1 or 2 drinks a day.

    1 or 2 drinks a day? Those better be BIG GULP 1 or 2 drinks a day you're talking about ;) hehe jk

    haha thats what i was thinking...i've never been to vegas, but if you can order drinks with diet pop, or better yet skip the pop and do straight shooters!!! haha...have a great time!!

    It's only a FAIL if you continue with the same behaviors after you get back!

    I've been to Vegas 2x since I started on my journey. I honestly went and had fun, trying not to worry too much. I will be honest and say that I didn't reduce my alcohol intake lol but I did watch my portion sizes. I gained about 5 lbs each time. The first time I had it off in 2 weeks, the second time I had it off so quick that it never even showed up on an actual weigh in day.

    So go have fun, you will be walking LOTS!!!

    Isn't there a lot of activity you can do in Vegas to burn calories?

    I don't know, I've never been there, I'm a Vegas Virgin...

    There are so many places to see and just walking the Strip will take an entire day! I love Vegas....

    Question though.. since I haven't eaten out at any restaurants or any fast food since I have started on the 5th..

    I know for most foods from fast food places they are already automatically up there on the list when you punch it in.. but if you go to a restaurant how do you input all the ingredients etc if you're not exactly sure on what's all been put into the meal (eg salt, etc)

    Yeah everyone tells me not to purchase tickets for anything until I get there because they are usually half the price on the strip. :)

    I'm going on June 4th! I wanted to lose enough to zip line down Fremont St but it didn't happen! I think I gained 20lbs in the 2 weeks I spent in Vegas last year so I know your pain!

    I'm getting married there in August. I've already been there twice and I had no idea you could do this!!!! I'm doing it this time!
