Ok lost 17 lbs I think before cruise...went on it, gained 1 or 2 lbs I think..can't remember all the details cause it was like the end of March...anyways...I haven't gained anymore but I haven't lost anymore...and I can't seem to get back on track...I'm going to try ..real hard to start tomorrow...I've ate so much of all I have wanted I don't even crave anything anymore...wish me luck...would like to lose about 25 lbs. I was doing so good.

You'll get there. I went to Aruba March 31st for a week. Took me a couple of weeks to get rid of the water and a couple pounds, but I'm back on track, and down another 5 pounds from when I left.
Stay the course!

thanks....it's funny I have to get in the right mind set..I haven't been lately...but I think I have gotten it back now. 135 here I come.

you seem to be back on track with your thinking so you will make it! I totally understand the cruise deal.. OMG - I was out of control on mine! I have vacation coming up in about 10 days, I hope to maintain control! Keep up the good work cuz I can see 135 lurking around the corner

Thank you..have fun on vacation....don't beat yourself up if you eat things you shouldn't on vacation...just get back on track as soon as you get back (which I didn't ) but today I am....yay....135 here I come.(my new saying)

I have never been on a cruise before, but I'm signed up now to go on Jimmy Moore's 3rd annual low carb cruise in March 2010. I think that may be the only kind to go on - with a bunch of other low carbers to give you the incentive to stay on plan.

Cruises will do that to you.. Consider yourself lucky to have only gained 2 pounds, I guess with all the walking and activities it keeps it kinda balanced. I didn't gain much either on our cruises and I didn't watch anything I ate, well I watched it but I wasn't dieting!

The best way to get back on is to just get back on and run with it. You can do it! Some times when we tell ourselves we can't, we can't. Start saying you can, because you can. You lost 17 pounds, seee....you can! Don't start tomorrow. Start now! Wrap your mind around it and you will acheive it!

Just to let everyone know didn't cheat one time today...first day back and I made it...wasn't hard and I feel good ! 135 here I come.

here she comes 135!

Okay guys, I'm going on a cruise the first week in July. What can I expect while I'm low carbing now? Today is my 5th day on the diet. I haven't cheated at all but this cruise is going to be tempting. Tell me what happened while you were low carbing and cruising.

What cruise line are you going on? Where too?

We're going on Carnvial/Conquest heading to Jamiace/Grand Cayman/Cozumel. It's my first cruise so we're pretty excited. I would like to know if low carbing can be successful on a trip like this.
