How long was the cruise?

 

[nordway]

7 nights, the real kicker is my DW lost 2 pounds on the cruise!!

We always use the stairs and walk the deck 4 track every morning. Gained 2 pounds.

Was on an 8 night cruise with eating out 4 additional days and nights. I gained 5 pounds which I didn't think was bad considering I didn't watch what I ate or drank at all. Had dessert, bread, and Mickey waffles every morning. The only thing I did do was take the stairs every where.

I've lost those pounds and a few more in 10 days.

I gained 8 lbs on our 4 nighter this past Jan. after losing 55 lbs prior to the cruise. I wasn't too upset because I know it was just water weight. A quick low carb diet got that off in a few days. I expected to gain weight, but not 8 lbs in 4 days. I will make sure to hit the gym EVERYDAY on our cruise in 2 weeks to hopefully keep the weight gain to a minimum.

Thanks for the warning! I'm on a 7 night Wonder cruise in October and am on a diet now in preparation. I need to ensure when I'm on the ship I include a morning trip to the workout room!

Congratulations on losing 9!

Yep I am on the loose to cruise plan. I loose so I can eat onboard and not feel so bad later. LOL!!

Gained 7 lbs on 7-nt Eastern on Fantasy in March. Ran on deck 4 a few times, and ran CC 5k. But ate & drank quite a lot (obviously). Had expected and planned for some gain - it IS vacation after all. Dropped it all plus a pound or 2 in a week after getting back.

Not sure how much I gained on my 7- nighter, but....the shorts I had on for embarkation were wore on disembarkation and they could not be buttoned ( or nearly zipped for that matter)!

Was on the same 8 niter as Mad4eeyor and I lost 4 lbs. very rarely took the elevator. Lots of stairs and walked 3 parks at Disney world. Drink water and eat fruit. Then have fun and enjoy the food.

I usually gain 3-5 lbs on a 7 night. I have chosen to not look at the scale for the first week after we get home as the sodium intake would make it look much worse than reality, so the 3-5 is actual lbs after the home.

Those of you who are gaining a LOT of weight on a 7 day cruise then losing most of it within a week are gaining water weight, not fat. I wasn't drinking enough water on my cruise last month and ended up with swollen feet every night. Yuck.

Luckily, no real weight gain. DH was not so lucky!

I managed to lose eight pounds on my last cruise (seven-day). I walked deck 4 and took the stairs. I ate anything I wanted to. Honestly though, there was so much food that after about day 3, I started skipping lunch and just having a snack.

I don't use salt at home, so having that in my diet onboard always puts a few pounds on. They go away after a week at home with our regular diet.

I can see this happening to us. After 3 days on the DDP at WDW, I felt permanently stuffed and skipped lunch almost daily. I'm going to walk for sure.

Where is the best place to get drinking water on board? Do they have water at the beverage station or is it best to buy bottled water? I definitely want to make sure I drink enough water!

 

[MAD4EEYORE]

You can get water at the drink stations and they sell bottled water as well. Water is also available in the dining rooms. We usually take a 12 pack of water with us for when we are in port. tYou can order bottled water online and have it delivered to your state room if you wish.

Hey! I wish I was a disciplined as you were. I forgot about the fruit. It was very yummy.
