LOL, Nickovtyme. That same hotel thing happens to me with icecream and hot fudge. I was wondering who I got this cold from.

Hey I'm back from our cruise. I did gain 2 lbs, but I think that's not too bad considering all the food on board..LOL I used the stairs a lot instead of the elevators and tried to eat healthy for at least two meals a day. The evening meals were very rich, so I had lots of salads with each meal. I did have steak two times. Thankfully, they did have low calorie desserts on the menu!

Good for you Twiggy! How fun to go on a cruise! My Turkey day gain was 2.6 lbs, but I have already loss 1.6 of it. I ate whatever I wanted and now it's time to be careful again, so I can do it again in a few weeks.

LOL! I'm still working on losing weight, too. Although, we had chicken wings tonight and I couldn't eat very many of them. (I only ate 2)

Well, joined curves over a month ago and have now come to the conclusion that I am meant not to lose weight by exercising. I have figured out that my back problems in the past few weeks were probably contributed to working out a curves. Great eh! NOT - I am back to work and have to watch what I do with my back, but I deep down know it was working out at curves that did my back in. I leave for Hawaii in just over a month and I won't be able to fit in some of the clothes I want to take. I cannot stop eating...it is not the sweets that is my problem..it is portion control. Yes I do like sweets, but I just cannot stop eating. It is becoming very depressing for me esp. with Christmas around the corner.

Hey Skootz. Baby steps. Just start buying low fat stuff like butter and whole grain breads. Also, try to use something other than sugar. I use low fat milk. Those things alone will help with weight loss. Look at it as eating more healthy. That's my philosophy anyway! If you have something fattening over the holiday just go back to eating healthy the next day.

Thats part of the problem Twiggy. I don't use sugar, I use light mayo instead of butter. We never eat white bread. I just cannot stop eating lol

Skootz, eating often is not a problem; that's what everyone should be doing anyways. If you ask any trainer, you will be told to eat 6 small meals or maybe a small amount every 2.5 to 3 hours. Just think of a sandwich that is cut into 6 pieces. Who says you have to eat the whole thing all at once? Eat one piece every 30min and that one sandwich will take 3 hours to eat! All you have to do is eat items that are filling and good for you. If you always have a little something in your stomache, you don't feel hungry and don't have spikes in sugars in your body. Watch out for some of those "light" foods; if you look at the nutritional contents and compare the ordinary to the "light", you will see that they do sneaky things like boost the salt to make up for the lack of tasty fats LOL. Another thing to watch is the trans fats. All they do is clog up your insides, to pick the item that has NO trans fats. I recently changed the creamer I use in my coffee from one that had trans fats to one that has none. Skootz, you don't want to worry about the number; toss your scale out the window if you like. What's important for YOU is getting your strength and building up support for your back area. Take it easy at curves (I don't know exactly what it is), but do keep moving. When you eat good foods, cut out bad ones, get some regular mild exercise, you will know when you are getting in shape. You will feel it inside. Your clothes will fit different, even though that evil scale may say you have not lost and maybe even gained. Don't worry about it all; I am sure you will do just fine, bit by bit.

shadoe, that is what i do, i have something to eat about every 2.5 hours. if i eat too much at one sitting i just hurt. so i'll eat like an orange, then the next time i'll have half a sandwich (and that is only a couple slices of ham/turkey with a piece of lettuce). i have to keep under 50 grams of fat a day. start eating more real food. more fruits/vegetables/simple foods. stop eating so many processed foods. you'd be surprised how easy it is once you've done it a couple of weeks.

I love chicken wings, but they're probably the most fatty "meat" that anyone can eat. When I am watching my weight, I still crave hot, spicy wings and found an alternative that is virtually calorie and fat free. May sound wierd, but I can attest to the fact that it's delicious: Fill celery ribs with low fat cream cheese (no fat cream cheese is just too tasteless for me). Liberally pour on the hot sauce and enjoy. I love the crunch of the celery, the creaminess of the cream cheese, and the zing of the hot sauce. You can eat an absolute ton of this stuff, fill yourself up, and not gain an ounce! I also would buy the fat free tortilla chips and eat those with salsa. I think that if you are predisposed to eating all day long, as long as you find filling foods that don't contain a lot of calories or fat, it makes you feel that you are not being cheated. Good luck, Skootz!

The end of my 10-week program is next Sunday, and while I'm down about 7 pounds, I'm going to fall short of my goal of 10 pounds. To be completely honest, while I've kept up the workouts the entire time, I've been pretty lax on the food for the past few weeks (after a great start, I let it slide). We leave for an active vacation next Thursday, though, so maybe I'll lose some weight by the time I come back in early January!

Great Job Liss. I am slowly trying to get back on track. I at at 21.5 lbs lost since last year...so if I could just get another 10lbs before I leave for Hawaii, I would be really happy. Just have to keep at it. Just makes it harder with Christmas and dinners and goodies. I may not bake this year..have to see. Thanks for the encouragment everyone, I think posting here keeps you honest and gives everyone a chance to talk about their ups and downs.

I tried on my sporty swimsuit today in preparation for NZ -- top is now slightly loose, but bottoms still look horrible. Oh, well, better than both pieces looking horrible.

I have my bathing suit purchased for Hawaii too. I am just figuring that well, if I am seen with just the bathing suit on, it will be in the water. If I am out of the water, my cover up or a towel will be one. The fun we have with bathing suits eh Yankee? What part of NZ are you going to. I have my aunt and uncle and cousins living there on the North Island.

I hear ya, Skootz. Whenever I'm out of the water I usually wear board shorts. I guess I just have to be happy that I seem to have lost significant weight up top. That's something, right?! We're spending 6 or 7 days on the North Island in total, and the rest of our time on the South (we were married on the South Island and have friends there -- and we're staying for 3 weeks total.) I'm swimming with dolphins and plan to kayak a lot (hopefully alongside some seals!) so a bathing suit is, sadly, a must. LOL When do you leave for Hawaii?
