I'm back from my cruise. I managed to keep the weight gain to only 3 pounds, which I have already shed. Last week I lost another pound so I'm on track to lose 5 this month and I'm back to tracking my diet on mfp. I'm a little concerned about Thanksgiving, though. I need some advice. After 30someodd years of using sugar…

I'm gonna try it. I think it will be difficult without being able to track the calories while I'm cruising, but I'll be doing lots of walking and there's a fitness center on board, so maybe I can offset any extra calories with additional exercise. I'll be back on Friday with my start weight.

Weighed in this morning and was disappointed to see no movement on the dial. I met the challenge about a week and a half ago and since then have been losing the same pound over and over again. I'm hoping for one more pound before I head off for my cruise next week. Today my friends and I booked our land excursions. I'm…

More likely it's the full moon. I taught for 28 years and the kids would definitely get buggy at the full moon -- you could tell the difference by the noise level in the lunch room!

Didn't get a real breakfast -- 2 pieces of zucchini bread instead -- rushed from meeting to meeting and didn't get lunch until 5 pm! I ate out for dinner, polished…

Thanks for your reply, Kelly. I'm cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean starting in Athens and stopping 2x in Israel, 2x in Egypt and 1x in Italy, finishing up in Rome. I'm very excited! But I sure hope I don't gain 5 pounds since that will negate all my hard work this month. Good idea about keeping up with the exercise…

I met the September goal on Saturday and hope to lose a couple more pounds before I head off on a cruise in October. I'd like to continue to lose while I'm on the cruise, but worry that there will be just too much temptation around. Anyone had experience with losin' while cruisin'?

I'll take that challenge, thanks. I find this site is a great way to track what I eat and by doing so, I've totally stopped evening snacking! Good luck to all.
