We love NCL. It is the perfect fit for us. We are very active on the NCL Roll Calls and love making plans to eat dinner with different groups of people. We also like to dine in the specialty restaurants. We also dont like to vacation with formal wear. So, its the perfect cruise line for our needs.

 

Bermuda charges high port fees. That is why it is more expensive to cruise to Bermuda on all the cruise lines. It is a great island. We have been three times and will probably go back again. We like that the ship stays in port for a few nights and we can go all over the island without worrying about what time to be back on the ship. You should book a Bermuda cruise!

Always thought that would be cool to stay over night at a port!

We will have to think about it! We have to take a bit of a breather after our Thanksgiving cruise, My daughter goes to College next fall then my son!!!! :eek:

Good Afternoon!

 

I haven't been on here in awhile but I see there's a lot of new people and everybody seems to be doing great in there weight lose journey!!! So great to see!

I've started going back to meetings at the end of august and am soooooo glad I did! The meetings are so motivating for me. I was doing online only since Sept. 9th 2009 and lost 35.2 lbs, well then came vacation in June! I didn't eat bad because I BARELY ate. I went to the Dominican Republic at an all inclusive with 2 of my friends, and the food was just so so. Therefore all my lbs that i gained back(5 to be exact) had to of come from all the drinks i consumed!!:p Anyways, Im back on plan now for 3 weeks and i've lost 5.2lbs!! I'm happy with anything at this point. Im going on my cruise in about 3 weeks so I'd like to loose another 5lbs before then! Anyone have any yummy soups that they love? I usually make the Zero Point soups and a chicken noodle but im looking for something different!!

That's not 'pretty good' - that's an excellent start:) - like everyone else says - 4 lbs is great for 10 days. WW doesn't recommend losing more than 1-2 lbs per week for a healthy weight loss. Please don't feel let down if you don't lose anywhere near that for the next week - slow and steady is the safest way to go!

Kim that is great!!

 

I am down only 1lb this week. I need to step it up as that Thankgiving cruise is only 2 months away. I am still not getting that daily exercise in. Hope to do lots this week-end.

 

Keep up the good work!!!

I'm down 1.6 this week. Thankfully, I lost the 1.4 that I had put on last week.

 

Good luck during the weekend!

Yay! Another 1.8 lbs at this morning's weigh-in for a total of 26 lbs!

 

Interestingly, today's topic was 'slow and steady'! Although I've lost 1.8 lbs for each of the last 2 weeks, the past several months has been mostly 0 - .8 per week. It seemed like 'all of a sudden' my clothes got looser and people started noticing. Going down a dress size a couple of weeks ago :D was a real motivator to watch every point more carefully.

cruise goal weight 170-175 nov 27th

[VonChap]

I had a bad WI on Friday...up 1.5 pounds. :mad: My first gain in over three months. Its totally my fault though. I started a new job on Wednesday and spent all day Wednesday and Thursday going to special lunches and dinners to celebrate. Lesson learned...now I know how easy it is to actually gain 1.5 pounds back. I need to watch myself on the cruise.

 

Doubt I will get down to 170-175 before my 10-10-10 cruise. I have had some low loss weeks and now a 1.5 gain. I just hope to get down into the 170's before we leave. At least my cruise clothes still fit.

 

We sail out 3 weeks from today.....

I am back and back on it now! I had a crazy week with leaving one job and starting at another. It was very stressful to leave the one job and too much celebrating with the new job. I hope to take that weight off this week!
