Whats the max weight that you gained on a holiday.

5 lbs just in 5 days... :explode: I hope most of it is just water retention...

placeboaddiction

Not bad but that covers Christmas period :-/ How long did it take to get it off?

lottycat

Easily 10lbs in a week. I find it's the lead up too, I know I'm going away and going to be bad, so I kind of give up a few weeks before I go too. But holidays are for relaxing, counting calories isn't relaxing, and I'm sure you'll find it'll drop off in no time x

I put on 7.5 in 9 days... working my butt off to get back on track tho! :blushing:

Jodi_83

I gained 8kgs hence why I need to lose!

(Although I did travel for 8 weeks)

I can't tell you how much but I can tell you where, my very first holiday outside the UK to Florida many moons ago.

The portions, the sugar ... the horror, the horror

As a balance I lost the most fat on a walking holiday around the national parks on the west coast, happy days.

Hell ya . and counting calories is especially taxing when you cant pronounce the names of the dishes and guestimates could go horribly wrong :ohwell:

5 lbs over a 3 day vacation...unfortunately it didn't come right off

Mine was an All-Inclusive. 2 weeks in St Lucia = 15lbs. Best Holiday EVER!! (paying for it now though)

It's easily done!! We didn't even go to a resort! We got invited to one of the inhabited islands and one of the natives and his family made us breakfast and dinner every day! Insane amounts of food and it's rude to leave any :laugh:
All inclusive is pretty dangerous eh!

ukjude

I put on 14 pounds in 14 days on holiday.... and it took me 7 weeks to lose it again.... was it worth it? Hell YES! Holidays are no time for counting calories!! LOL

lin7604

I used to gain 7-10 lbs on all my all inclusive vacation ( 1 week)... now i am a bit more "smart" the last 2 i only gained 5lbs... and it took me about a week to get it off. that is mainly water and i didn't struggle to loose it like i used to when i gained double..

:bigsmile: Yes, I stopped taking all inclusive after my last Sharm-el-Shekh one.... Those are way too dangerous for me too... (when my mind tries to calculate ROI :blushing: )

5 lbs. during 5 days in New Orleans. Amazing restaurants, but so much rich food! We walked everywhere and tried to pace ourselves, but the last couple of days my husband and I were cancelling reservations left and right because we just weren't hungry. All the heavy cream did us in, but it was wonderful while it lasted (until I got home and saw the scale, lol).

Absolutely, I met my Aussie OH in Cyprus on a walking holiday ... Eat what you like, drink like a fish and get a daily sociable long walk in ... Beats being on a beach all day for me

The side effects can include unexpected emigration, fatherhood and domesticity though

smelons

7 lbs over 3 days in Belgium. The huge range of beers and yummy food were too hard to resist...

Yup, my next holiday is a Hiking holiday in the Swiss Alps (2 weeks to go) Just out of curiousity, I sat down and put one of the more memorable days worth of my Holiday into MFP. Just wanted to see roughly how many calories per day I was inhaling. The answer topped out at a horrific 14000+ in one day. Most days came in somewhere between 3000 and 6000, How I survived is a mystery to me lol :drinker:

SophieMFP

You're all scaring me!!! I go on holiday in 7 weeks and I really don't want to ruin the progress I've made in just one week.

I'm going to try and stay smart, fruit salads rather than cooked breakfasts, water rather than fizzy drinks, spirits with diet coke rather than beer, salads rather than sandwiches for lunch, and for dinner I'll pick something I really want but I'll try to avoid bread and chips as much as possible. 30 lengths in the pool every morning should help me to balance out all the icecream I'll be having ;-).

I won't go as far as calorie counting, but I'm confident that I can still have a fun, happy and relaxing holiday without over doing it on the food and drink.

Keep your fingers crossed for me :-)

Fingers crossed Sophie... Dont worry. Enjoy your time... As long as one does not think that life is a holiday (LOL), all is well
And if you really stick to what you have planned (including 30 laps of pool), you will have the biggest loss in that week :happy:

Uwww I hope so! That would make coming home much less disappointing! :happy:
