Please reconsider “gaining “ on your cruise. You have done so well to get where you are. Maybe think about it as maintenance and that gives you more calories to treat yourself without resetting your thought process that helped you get to your goal.

My biggest change in eating has been by creating a 12 hour fasting window. I know it’s short but I have consistently lost and I’m 71. I used to eat a lot in the evening and sometimes at night, but I have stayed with a 12 hour fast. It’s worth a try for you.

So my 5 year old granddaughter asks me what is hanging off your arm. I have to tell her it’s just my skin. I have had big arms forever- even when younger and thinner, but losing 45 pounds has made them worse. It is what it is.

Get sub sandwiches with plain deli meats instead of salami or meatballs and use mustard instead of mayo. Talk with your server…

There are lots of good diet friendly recipe sites - skinny taste, pound dropper, etc. maybe choose one new recipe a week and divide into single servings. Freeze the extras and soon you will have a good supply in your freezer. Tell us about your favorites.

I have started wearing a fitness tracker that can be set to remind me to move every hour. Just getting off my chair and taking a short walk added to my regular walks and swimming has helped a lot.

Grandkids are a great incentive. I want to take hikes with them, and play hide and seek. Getting there one pound at a time.
