Place your bets on how much weight I'll gain!

[mindy32]

Ugh I'm so annoyed at myself. I've gained 8kg since last December and was determined to lose it before our trip. I lost nothing lol. So now I'm terrified that I'll gain heaps more while away. My problem is when sweet treats or fried food is in front of me on holidays I can't say no!

I intend to eat a simple healthyish brekkie (smoothie, cereal etc) most mornings if I can, healthy lunch if I can find it and then dinner and dessert most nights I expect. Throw some snacks in there too, I'm sure I'll have icecream, brownies and chocolate. I don't really drink alcohol so will only have a few throughout the trip. I generally drink lots of water throughout the day. I also expect we'll do a lot of walking.

So hit me, how much do you think I'll gain?! lol

And any tips for being careful without being too careful?!

I bet you will drop 3 kg...the amount of walking you do when on hols is staggering, plus all the other stuff....my tip, only order kids meals, they are huge enough...worked for us. Or at places you can't just get a starter or Two instead of a main meal.........but DO NOT skimp on the desserts.....

 

[BecBennett]

Yeah I'm thinking you'll drop some too... I probably would have said 3kg too, but since that's taken I'll say 2kg

 

[australiankaren]

dont forget "other" ....otherwise you'll never hear the end of it

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

Yep I agree, you'll lose a couple of kgs definitely. Don't stress, its a holiday. If you don't like "dieting" here, you sure ain't gonna like it on holiday with all those sweet treats tempting you. You'll be fine.

Haha I wouldn't even know where to start with a poll!

Thanks ladies, you've made me feel a lot better! (Not so much better that I go crazy though, don't worry!). You're my new favourite people lol, I'd be ecstatic if I lost weight, hell I'll be super happy even just to maintain.

 

[australiankaren]

don't disappoint me...this is what we call a poll tease...

OK so we have determined that Mindy is going to LOSE weight.

What about me?????

I am the same - I put on weight last year at the F&W and haven't lost it over these twelve months.
I've got quite a few signature restaurants, incl a V&A Chef's Table, booked

A work colleague gave me all her left over trick or treating lollies this morning. I'm off my head on sugar

 

[aussietravellers]

Mindy32, I was going to say, I bet you lose weight. I generally lose 3 to 5kgs when away, because of all the walking. So I'm going to go with a loss of 3kgs.

Yep, we need a Poll. Mindy32, we are addicted to Polls around here
