Hi everyone, I'm Back

[catherine]

Hi everyone I am back after being away for 16 days at Mickey's place! We had a brilliant trip. We were able to spend lots of time with DH's family, so my DD's were thrilled. We ate at some great places, which I won't go into in great detail (too tempting!! ) I am now exhausted, we were travelling for 19 hours

Before we went on out trip I decided that I was going to eat like I will want to do when I get down to my goal weight. I have never been able to manage this before. I have lost weight several times before, but everytime something got in the way, for example the holidays or vacation (I would use this as an excuse to eat everything that I had not eaten while I was trying to lose weight, and then afterward I could never get back on my POA) and I would never get down to my goal weight. Anyway this time, thanks to WISH I was determined that I was going to do it. I was going to eat more or less what other people were eating, but I was going to watch my portions, and not stuff my face at every given opportunity. I feel that I was successful I ate great food, but I only really ate when I was hungry. I didn't eat lots of snacks and most of the time I stopped eating my meal when I was full. Which was difficult sometimes,a s we went to several all you can eat buffets!! Anyway after 16 days, I weighed myself this morning and I have put on just 1lb which I am really happy with. It is also TOM and judging by the size of my ankles I must be retaining a lot of fluid, so I'm hoping for a nice loss next week.

I am now hoping to find time to catch up on what has been going on here at WISH while I was gone. Right now I have to finish unpacking and start getting ready for Christmas!!

WOW, that is wonderful news, you are only showing a 1# gain and you know that you are retaining fluid. You will for sure have a loss next week. I find that even if it's not TOM, I retain fluid when I travel.

It sounds like you went on vacation with a plan and you were able to maintain. You should be proud of yourself for being able to step away from a buffet and not continue to fill your plate. You did a great job.

Have a wonderful day.

I'm very impressed. 16 days with the Mouse, and only 1# gained.

It sounds like your trip was wonderful. Wow 16 days and only 1 pound gained is great. It also sounds like you were balanced with your eating plan. I will have to remember that when I go to Disney in the spring.

Welcome back, Catherine. Sounds like you did great and had a wonderful holiday.

If you are only showing a 1 pound gain and it is TOM then I'll bet you actually lost weight on vacation. That's great!

 

[geetey]

I agree with Katholyn! I bet after you lose that TOM and flight/travel water, you will see you actually lost while you were on vacation!!

Welcome back and congrats on a job well done!

 

[KathyTX]

It sounds like you had a wonderful holiday, Catherine!

And it sounds like you did a GREAT job eating like you'll be able to for the rest of your life. You can teach lessons now!

We want to hear details of your wonderful trip once you get your bearings!

Glad you are back!
