    Where are you cruising? That was actually my big motivation for getting back to MFP, we are going to Alaska in May!

    It's great that the cruise is motivating you - but please think beyond the cruise.

    1. People who loose weight for an event, usually put it back on after

    2. Having a time limit for your loss may mean you don't achieve exactly what you wanted when you wanted it - and can lead to disappointments and therefore going back to old habits.

    Think that you will be healthier for your cruise if you start now - but consider the cruise as a reward on the way, and not the end game.
