losing weight before you cruise....

[ez]

How many cruisers diet before their cruise so they feel free to eat whatever they want on the ship? Our cruise is in 8 weeks, and I'm trying to cut down here, would like to lose 10 pounds. Any proven precruise dieting strategies you would like to share?

I have been on Slim Fast since April and have lost 15 pounds, I know a good portion will go back on when the desserts are brought out, my weakness is having a sweet tooth.

Hey VM -- great job!

EZ - at the '8 week prior to cruise' mark, I also decided to get a few lbs off. Ended up losing 17 lbs! Starting eating healthier, reaching for more fruits and veggies rather than my favorites of ice cream and Lays potato chips! Did a lot of walking too.

Ended up gaining 6 lbs on the cruise, but lost it the week after I got home (plus 3 more the following week!). Got back into the swing of eating healthy and walking.

Good luck!

Lost 15lbs at my 12wks countdown to our Nov 30th "cruise"
Managed to keep it off over the winter

Have been using both the WISH and fitday since May 19th and have lost another 10lbs
9lbs more to go before we step onboard the Nov 8th Magic
