HI Rachel,

Don't worry about your trips you will do fine. When I first started by weight loss journey, I lost 19 pounds right before WDW. When I got home, I stepped on the scale and I think I gained 3 pounds. Last year I gained 5. You are going to be doing so much walking that you should be okay. If you are anything like me, I have a hard time eating when it's hot, plus I don't get as hungry when I am hot. So I tend not to snack a whole lot while in WDW. Although, if it's ice cream, I will always eat it. I am sure that you will be okay, and if you gain a few pounds, it's okay, your on vacation. When you get home, you just need to get back into the groove of things and the vacation weight will come off in no time.

Keep up the great work! You are doing great.

Have a great day

Thanks Jamie,excellent advice I really am getting soooo excited about the trips, I dont like eating when its hot either. DH is another story he can eat whatever the weather, I too adore ice cream but hopefully all the walking and swimming should limit the damage

Hi Rachel,

When we went last year and the year before, I had ice cream each day. Sometimes twice a day! Not good, but I just can't turn it down. I walked it off though!!!! I was a little paranoid in 2005, I had done so well losing weight I didn't want to ruin it with the yummy WDW food. I almost let that ruin my vacation. Then I relaxed and had a great time. I didn't care what the damage was when I got home, I was in WDW and I was walking all day!!! I am so excited for you!!!!

You're doing great! Keep it up!

Have a good day
