Well done DQ on reaching your target and still continuing. I often just about to reach target just as I am going on the cruise. It is years since I had the luxury of reaching it weeks beforehand.

Ah but the target I set myself was just for this group Sue, it was weight I needed to lose and I knew was achievable without giving too much up, it is so hard to continually give up the things you like but that is where I am at the moment and I'm sure it will be worth it but if not as long as I maintain what I have lost I can be happy with that.

Your problem .. as I see it in not having the luxury of reaching your target weeks in advance is because you do far too many cruises :lol: :lol: and long may it continue :thumbup:

Yes Jo you have hit the nail on the head. I don't want to cut the cruises down yet so need to moderate my drinking whilst on them. I always go with good intentions.

Well, I don't want to boast, but I reached my target and managed my first post-op cruise without any problems and a zero weight gain.

It's just as well - the zero weight gain, as I've already got my outfit for the forthcoming christening, and I don't want to change it.

Don't we all :lol: :lol:

I don't very often put weight on when on a cruise ( if I do it is only 2/3 lbs ) funnily enough I tend to eat far less than I do when I'm at home but I do drink more that's for sure.

'ey up, have you lot given up?

I'm weighing in today at 11-7-6, which, considering the last two weeks of stuffing my self on holiday, isn't too bad.

Hi Alan,

No, I haven't given up - I had my outing and gained no weight; I got through the christening and wore the outfit I wanted to wear just fine.

Now - just watching my weight pre-festive season and pre-cruise.

No not given up and keep looking at the thread. I think our leader has given up on us. It is always hard to get back in the diet mode after a cruise unless you have another one booked.

I am way off target but still chipping away at it. We go down to SHampton 7 weeks tomorrow. I would love to lose 7lb before then.

Seven pounds in seven weeks? That's a pound a week - you can do that easily!

I think our leader must be busy making a fresh batch of 'Keefy's Chocs' in readiness for Christmas :lol:

I'm still managing to lose a few pounds but I'm very up/down still I'm happy with where I am at the moment, no doubt we will all be back 'raring to go' come the 1st January after all the Christmas gorging :roll:

Weighing in today at 11-3-8 (at 0815 for Stephen's benefit :lol: ), despite pigging out last night on Dorritos and bacardi'n'coke!

Am I the only one weightwatching now?

I lost 5lbs in a matter of days.

It's called the norovirus diet. Weight loss :thumbup: Norovirus :thumbdown:

Oh dear Foxy I'm guessing you were on Oceana returning yesterday? A friend was on the cruise with his two children but they were ok. I came back on Thursday having been on Oriana which thankfully due to very strict controls for three days was as far as I am aware norovirus free. Not the way one wants to lose weight :thumbdown:

Hope you start feeling better soon Foxy.
Jan we are on a Oriana for Xmas in the Caribbean and just hope Noro doesn't join us on board.

Hope you are feeling better OBF - not the nicest way to lose weight.

We arrived back early morning yesterday so I didn't hop on the scales until this morning and I am 141.6 ibs so I have about 2 pounds to lose. In Frank's words 'back in training' from today. Now Ken is another matter - a bit of a touchy subject at the moment. :thumbdown:

Last weigh in was Tuesday and I was 15 stone 7lb. Been around that for the last 4 weeks.

I was 16 stone 1 1/2 when I first posted at the beginning of the year.

Pleased with that.

Will start again in the New Year.

So how did you do in the end?

I could do with a lecture from Keefy as I seem to be going up since my cruise rather than down and now have 3 lbs to lose. It might be due to the box of MS Florentines I scoffed the other night or it could be their extremely chocolaty biscuits which I am steadily working my way through. :oops: The sad thing is, I was doing so well and now I can't get back on track.

Come back, Keefy - all is forgiven :thumbup:
