The Carnival Magic was awesome! Had a great time, was on the 2nd deck so I did lots of stairs, got up early to walk up on the track and see the sunrise. It was so worth it, definitely a take me away moment. Also purchased a week pass to the thermal spa. I am still missing doing that every day. Best of all I only gained 2lbs. I was cautious of what I ate but had wine every day. I am happy with this. Back on my program and hope to lose another 40.

I have an update also..Leave Saturday for my 7 days on the Carnival Magic. I am -66 and hoping to stay there. I will not be taking any packets with me. I know that I am going to be conscious of what I put in my mouth as well as how much I move. My job is one that I sit the entire time so just by being active and moving lots it will help. I am on the 2nd deck and plan on using those stairs and I will get back on the program when I return. I hope to lose another 20 then the hard work begins. Figuring out how to keep it off. (been there done this a couple times before) I am confident that it is going to stick this time!

I feel like a PRO at this...Over the past 10 years this is my 3rd time losing. I am very good at it. I am also even better at gaining it back ☺. 1st time I lost 60lbs, 2nd time I lost 65lbs. So far since April 3rd I have lost 56. The center I go to does have a real Dr. and I meet with a dietician every other week. The support is awesome. I went to Vegas in July for 5 days and did not gain. I was very conscious of getting in lots of exercise. They have stressed weight training and exercise. I am thinking in Oct when I go if I never get on the elevator and make sure I move lots that I will survive. It is encouraging reading all of your posts. Nice to know I am not alone out here ☺
