Derf,are you worried about your weight?:)

 

Yes, I am a yo-yo dieter. Last year I lost 60 pounds. I have gained back 15 so far this year. HELP :mad: :mad:

Youll get motivated to loose the weight with the warm weather.During the cold months its really hard to loose weight.:)

Isn't that the average birth weight these days? :D

[ChiBearsSuperFan]

My wife and I actually lost several pounds on our last cruise!

So are you trying to say that on a cruise you eat enough for two.?:)

I gained 10 on our last cruise. Half must have been water because I lost 5 as soon as we got home.

 

8 lbs seems like so much more when you think of it as a baby.;)

[Disneycruiser#1]

That is hard to believe. I lose weight on cruises. You may be eating more but all of the walking and shore excursions counter act the cakes at least for me .....

Must be because of the salt water all around the ship.

I gained 8 on my last cruise. I think I still have all 8 pounds too ;)

I gained 5 pounds on my cruise... but I'm going to lose it before my next cruise ... that's the plan at least :rolleyes:

and eat more! But, I agree with Derf's article, I have found the trick to be workout more. Take the stairs when you can and hit that gym. My sister and I get up faithfully every morning and walked the track for 45 minutes in addition to the extra little things like taking the stairs. Last cruise I only gained three pounds and lost it a week later. This year we are doing weight watchers and so far so good! So I plan to indulge every chance I get! That is the whole reason for denying yourself all year~

I gained 5 lbs on our cruise and was happy that was all...I ate like a pig :eek:

 

My 12 year old skin & bones son gained 6 lbs....guess that tells you how good the food was....or maybe it was all that ice cream he ate (like 6 times a day)!

[bluejeans]

I lost weight, about 5 pounds. And wasn't happy that I had lost it. It took me a year to gain that 5 pounds. Like the others that lost weight, we did so much walking, and I wasn't hungry most of the time. Too much to do and see.

[B Dawg]

Luckly I gained only 3 pounds. Took the stairs alot and did alot of snorkling.

[lavigne101]

I had lost 30 lbs before we left and there was no way I was gaining that back. Went for my weigh in (still on the maintenance program) and I gained 4oz....ya that was ounces. I was so proud of myself. :D :D :D

How'd ya do it? I'm in a wellness program too, and don't want to gain a lot of the weight back.

[gwe21]

I must not be eating enough then......

 

 

8lbs is alot for one week....really....

[SoCalgirl]

I usually lose weight on a cruise too... I use the stairs all the time and walk a lot more than at home. Plus I'm not as hungry most of the day, must be the heat? Hoping this time I won't gain!

me? probably enough for twins. :eek:

[SomewhereBeyondTheSea]

I'm not sure how much I gained on the cruise last year but I can tell you that I ate for 3. :eek:

[I Luv Crusin]

Well, I'm glad I'm "below average" on the weight gain department while cruising. I have gained either a few pounds or lost weight. I try to focus on eating well and making yummy good choices.

 

I'm actively trying to lose weight and so far have lost 25lbs. I hope to have lost 20 more before our July cruise and don't intend to gain any while cruising!

[sgriff17]

First cruise: lost 5 lbs

Second cruise: gained 1

Third Cruise: gained 9:eek:

 

I think it has something to do with losing so much weight BEFORE stepping foot on the ship. After being in a low caloric diet for so long then switching to a HIGH intake...your body tends to pack it on quickly. has a lot to do with water weight too...salt and alcohol
