Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to say thank you for joining this group. If you are here, then most likely you have an upcoming cruise and you would like to shed some pounds. I find that its much easier to stay accountable for my weight loss and the things I eat if I have a group of friends that have the same similar interests as I do keeping me motivated. With that being said, please feel free to post as often as you would like and make this group your home.
Happy Sailing
Trish

    Aha. I was just coming to check of there was a group when I saw you'd started one. Brilliant. Now I can chat about cruises in two places. Something I never get bored of.
    Roughly 170 days until we fly out, and I am determined to be thin by the time I get on that ship. And not to let the buffet, sushi and gorgeous celebrity menus undo my good work :) though I can't say that I will be skipping the captain's club cocktails. You have to have a few treats!

    Hello, everyone. I'm Karen and I live in Vermont. I just love everything there is to cruising. Sad to say, though, my hubby does not. So my last cruise and my up-coming one in November are with him left at home. He and I are planning a land based vacation for our 25th anniversary in a couple years. So, after this next cruise, I will be land bound for a little while. Oh, well. Anyway, I am super excited about my cruise next November on the beautiful Norwegian Dawn. Two weeks in the Caribbean instead of in cold New England sounds just about perfect for me.

    Hi all! I am not an experienced cruiser, but love all things travel. We are ex-pats from the US living in New Zealand and loving it - no plans to return to the US except for visits to friends and family.

    MFP has been great for getting to my goal weight - but more,I have noticed that by tracking my food, I have actually improved the quality of what I eat. I still have a near daily piece of chocolate, but I also have increased my veggie intake. It has changed my palate.

    Today, for the first time I can remember, I ate a brownie, and it tasted too sweet! what?! Anyway, I think it is my new breakfast and overall veggie intake as well as cutting out diet fizzy drinks/artificial sweeteners.

    Good luck to you all!

    HI! I just saw the post on Cruise Critic and thought I would join in...

    We just booked a cruise for July. I am so worried that it will completely blow my diet or that I will lose the momentum and not get back on the diet when I return......

    I know what you mean. I'm both dreading and looking forward to the buffets and the old joke of wear your tightest things first because they won't fit by the end ;)
    I'm sure you'll get back into it easy enough when you get home again. Just think of it as a head start for your NEXT cruise.

    I just saw the post about this group on cruise critic and thought I would join. I will be cruising in a week. We just sailed over spring break and I only gained a lb or so and am hoping to do as well this time. We shall see! Thanks for starting this group!
