Just back from my holiday and lost lost 3lbs!

[Heaven can wait]

Hi All,
(ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD TO HEAR ME DRONING ON BEFORE I WENT ABOUT HOW WORRIED I WAS THAT I WOULD LOSE THE PLOT ON HOLIDAY!)

I am dead tired, but had to let you know that I just got back from Holiday after a 24 hour delay!!! .....and only just in time for my weigh in and I lost 3lbs !!!!
Wow ! Really happy with that I can tell you, phew!!!!

I managed to stick to 4 packs every other day and dropped a pack in the evening on the other days and had a very small portion (nicked off my hubbys plate!) of white fish or chicken with plain shredded lettuce on the other days( Sorry but ... delicious cant even begin to describe how it tasted! ).
Was really worried untill I could check the ketosis stick the next day but I stayed in the pink all holiday!
We had our plane grounded on the return journey and had to be transported to an hotel for 24 hours untill the plane could be fixed, and boy was I glad I'd got those 3 packs left over from the days I ate in the evening! IF I HAD STUCK TO THE PROGRAMME 100% I WOULD HAVE HAD NO FOOD PACKS LEFT FOR THE LAST 24 HOURS AS I ONLY TOOK ENOUGH FOR THE TIME I WAS MEANT TO BE AWAY!
I would definatly been tempted to eat as the food was a buffet and free courtesey of First Choice Airways, it was so tempting!
But it all worked out very well, and the LL shaker and my little Ikea 99p battery whisk, really saved the holiday, they went everywhere and I even shaked on the beach!

Had a fab time and still lost weight, so it can be done with a bit of forward planning, and I am so glad I did stick to it, it was so worth it tonight at WI.

It really is true, nothing tastes as good as feeling slimmer feels!

Love Carole

[jane]

Oh BRILLIANT.

I guess this just shows what can be done with a bit of foreward planning & determination.
Also that holidays don't ave to be blow outs..

please remember to give yourself a treat for this ...unless you feel that the 3lb loss is reward enough.

Good for you Carole - sounds like you did the best thing for you and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the holiday. It would be hard not to in Greece! It just shows that holidays don't have to be as difficult as we think they might be and we can still have a wonderful time without loads of food. Congratulations on a successful trip!

I'm going to amsterdam at may bank holiday for three days and a quite nervous, my fiance has got me a blender to have in the room so I can mix 2 shakes in the morning as my breakfast and then at lunch I'll just have water and tea if we go to eat somewhere and then in the evening I might have to have a meal but will have plain salad leaves and grilled fish or chicken and then a hot chocolate before bed! I'm quite gutted about the fact I won't be abstaining for 100 days but I want to prove to myself that I'm in control and will plan for it.

WOW that is excellent!!!

I am going with First Choice to the Dom. Republic in less than 2 weeks! I don't have much more to lose, and people already say I look too skinny - so I'm not going to be taking packs, but try to stick to management as well as possible whilst being away! :-)

This thread shows you CAN do it, thanks

I will sure report here when I get back with what happens - weight loss/gain on my return! :-) watch this space ...

I plan on swimming everyday, i love it can't wait now though, especially after reading your post!!

[sonkie]

[cheerydino]

Oh, that is so brilliant, Carole! Well done!!

[Curvy Caz]

Well done Carole!
You must be so proud of yourself and so determined. It must feel great to have had such a wonderful time and still have lost weight.

[AmandaJayne]

So pleased for you Carole. You have proved that it can be done. No wonder you feel so chuffed!

Tommee!

Good luck at the Dom! Looking at your tracker, you've done fantastically well. What a different holiday you will have this year, compared to other years. I can't wait to hear how you get on!

[Cerulean]

You must have been so chuffed when you realised that your careful meals saved the day!

Good work - you must be very proud of yourself!
