Hello Everyone Jan I glad your fine and having a great time with family. The timeshare sounds so nice. Brother from Iowa how do they like Maine, it's a lot different? Keep on enjoying. Susan good to see you in between your cruises and happy you'll be joining us more. Glad your enjoying all the cruises you had. enjoy your next cruise too. Ombud nice that you learn how to build from your dad plus others things. See he taught you the right and wrong way by example. Good dad. I'm taking 6 b2b's on same ship. Some same ports, some different ports and seeing different glaciers on the 6. Only thig have to change cabins twice. Booked at different times. 3 cruises same cabin, then next 2 same cabin and then last 1 . Izena and Meghan hope your having a good day too.

Hello All Meghan good luck on your first week. The 1st week of any diet is hard. The next week easier since you get more protein. Yes, Izena has been so good at losing and maintaining and you can learn from her. Izena you've done so well. You kept so focus on dieting and your walking each day and doing great maintaining. We all need to be doing as good as you. Ombud are you still busy doing things on the house? Read again you built some of your furniture. Did you take classes or just do it? Jan where are you? You came in once and not again. Jo where are you? You didn't come in at all. Are you two busy or on a cruise. So hard to tell or remember when each of us go on cruises because we like them and each of us have been doing more of them. Hope everyone is doing well this week.

Afternoon All Ombud you can talk about anything in here, what we do in our lives is who we are some of the things we do can help us lose or a reason we gain. Or just make us feel good. I think it's great you're doing all that to your house. I need to do so much to mine but can't get started, rather take cruises! Hope your having a goid day. Welcome acruisingperson I'm glad you're joining us. Everyone does their own way of dieting. Someone in here did your plan and they lost well. Your cruises and trips sounds wonderful. With Covid stay at home/work from home many people gained. I'm sure coming in here each Thursday to weigh will help you be accountable. Come in any day and talk. Know you'll lose some pounds by your cruise in August. Jan, Jo and Izena how are you today? Not talking, How was your weekend? My weekend just same o same o. Nothing exciting. Getting hot weather for a few days. Take care

Izena sorry your bored me too. Have lots of things I could do but don't want to. Vert sorry about your taste buds, wonder what happen. Hope it comes back soon. You're so good at walking. Snacking I think is all of our problems Your're doing great at maintaining. I usually do low carb and some fasting. Doesn't seem to be working at this time for me. as it has before. Haven't tried Keto don't think I will. I know I'm probably just eating to many calories and not exercising. Eating to late at night, whatever. Got to do better. Jan how are you? Jo how are you? Ombud how are you? Izena and I kind of down. You three doing alright?

Hey, come on and talk people--miss the talking I did a fast t all day and just ate a light dinner now, see if this helps. just been eating too much. Good and bad stuff. How are you all doing eating wise? Are your weekends the hardest? Or any day of the week the hardest? That's me!😀

Afternoon ALL Jan, Ombud, Izena and Jo hope you're having a good Friday and enjoy your weekend.

Ombud-Happy Birthday Ombud. Not to bad of a Birthday Dinner. Tomorrow your Birthday will be over and a new day begins.☀️ Jan--Reason you forget to weigh on Thursdays? Numbers still there the next day.😊 Izena-Be nice if your friends would come in. Help us going on our weight loss. New people new ideas. Surprised you didn't lose weight with tummy tuck but you were at goal weight already. Know you look great Sorry your house will seem empty for three weeks since you enjoyed having the two there. I stayed the same. Eating not at the level it should be. Not enough to gain but to much to lose. Got to get with it--cruises ahead. Jo-Hope you had a good week. Everyone try to be extra good this weekend. Plan ahead with your eating and snacking. That should help us not have a gain during the weekend. Let's see.

We weigh-in once a week on Thursdays Help us keep track how we're doing during the week When you weigh-in once a week you can't fool yourself about what you're eating It will show up on the scale Thursday with a loss or a gain If you have a loss, you know you're eating what's right for you If have a gain you know you're not eating the right foods or just eating to much to lose This site is good to if you just want to maintain the weight your at and not gain Nice to have others who understand that it is hard to lose and keep it off Be great to hear others give tips/ask advice on how your trying to lose your weight W----Welcome E----Everyone I----I hope you join us G----Get and give advice H----Help each other T----Talk everyday if you like L----Losing O----Our Pounds S----Seeing the difference S----Smiling

Glad to see you back in here. Hope you enjoyed your cruise. Why we don't gain sometimes or all times on a cruise is because we're busier than at home and walking a lot to get exercise. Plus, sometimes eat less then we think, smaller portions. Why easier to gain at home, we had different foods (or at least cooked different) on the cruise and we're use to eating, so at home eating more than normal for us and not walking as much. They say fast on fast off----does it work---sometimes yes--sometimes no! It should work ALL the time!

Hi Izena glad you had a good time in San Antonio. Nice when exs can get along with each other. Sorry about the wife stories. Hope she doesn't have family there. Nice you all will be cruising. Know if you ate to much maybe a gain but Walking everyday on the River Walk you might of helped not to have a gain. Think I'm Addicted----to cruising! Just booked another cruise with my November cruise to make a b2b. Couldn't help myself.😄 Been trying to eat better but my mind sometimes says the --Heck with it. Not giving up. Cruising in 7 weeks --3/4 days. Depends how you count, if count the day you leave or not. Take care

Jan Yes always a next time but you would think some ports would be the same. It's just that the timing is off. Jo yes doing Sitka and Icy Strait. I have done Sitka before but not Icy strait. New port for me. What's nice about Alaska if raining or if don't want to get off the ship just seeing the scenery off the deck or from your balcony is beautiful.

Jan, do you believe none of the dates/ports line up. Think it's because we each leave from a different port and your cruises are 7 days and mine are 10 days. Bummer! Jo have a good visit with DD and happy you got to book another cruise. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Hello all--- little late in writing. Izean you're doing so good. Bet you look great. A size SMALL. Congrats! Doing so good on the walking. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned, (Glad you have to cook for everyone) Jan happy for you that you stayed the same with your snacking. Nice you play games in the evening. Yes, see if any ports at the same time. Trouble is 19 years ago we were younger--our faces too!😄 Jo where are you. Are you alright? Ombud have we lost you? Susan you too--are you lost? Take care

Help we need to lose some weight NOW Want people to look at us and say WOW No really, we want to lose for health reasons If we could just get though the different holiday seasons Can't give up on ourselves we say We just will try day by day by day by day Up and down, we go each week Never give up on the loss's we seek

Jan last winter had the same cabin for all the cruises, was nice this time no. Booked cruises at different times, cabins gone because more people cruising now. Before sailing with less than 50% Have same cabin the first three cruises...move to a cabin for the next two, one floor up and then move to last cruise to a cabin very close. Keep checking to see if my cabin I want would open up. Not to bad. you leave hanging clothes, throw everything in suitcase, tote bags ect. They help you move. What dates are you in Alaska? Your doing a b2b that's a start, next make it three.😊 (what helps me because it's mostly free cruises, if wasn't I wouldn't be doing six) Will have internet four of the cruises don't know about other two. Have to decide. Least it's Alaska and can use phone in ports. Can keep in touch with kids and friends. My daughter is doing one of cruises in July with me. Isn't it nice to have cruises to look forward to? Love it!

Thank you both. Better but not 100%. Glad you both had a nice Mother's Day. Izena I'm happy your enjoying people staying at your house. Do you have to cook for them? That I wouldn't like. Wish we had your weather now. Been windy and cooler than normal. Jan you won't believe when my cruises are. They just added up going to Alaska. I leave July 9th and come back Sept. 7th. 6 b2b's and I love it. Love the beauty of Alaska and the people. Jo and Ombud how are you two?

Well, everyone must of have a great weekend--to tired to talk on Monday. Mine wasn't as good, kids taking me out to dinner and I woke up sick, still today. Not covid! They said will just make it another day. I will since their paying!😄 Been in bed all day, just checking computer now. Hate it when so quiet here but I was this weekend too. Hope more talking this week. Take care

I didn't order but looked just like the ones from Alfredo's. Didn't look like the Lido's. Am going to try the one I like in a few months on the Ruby. Didn't get to try my last cruise. I think that because some cruises have it outside of Alfredo's maybe they all have the same recipe. Hope so.

On the Ruby you can order an Alfredo's pizza though room service for $3.00. Think there was three selections.

Writing in the evening but sure will be reading in the morning so--Good Morning! You all did well on your weight loss's this week. Me not so good. Stayed the same. Just not eating right. Don't know why--I want to. Not doing anything lately except---- I book a couple of Alaska cruises, will be doing many backs to backs. Couldn't help myself. They were free except taxes and insurance. So, my summer is taken. Jo--sorry about your knee. What do they say can be done? I know Canada has holidays on different days/months then us--is Mother's Day the same? Jan glad you got cruise weight off. Congrats. Sounds like you have a good Mother's Day planned. I think leftovers are a must when cooking. Love it that don't have to cook again just warm up. Izena no weight loss but smaller "belly" would take that in a minute. Enjoy it. Glad your enjoying your son and his friend staying with you. You have a nice day planned. I used to play dominoes haven't in years. Ombud have you left us? Haven't been in before or after your cruise. Don't want you to leave but if going to let us know so won't be asking about you. I don't know what I'm doing for Mother's Day. Son is on a cruise, home tomorrow. Sure will talk to sister and will call me and say going out to dinner. Their sure waiting to the last minute. Usually tell me earlier. But last few years been different because of covid. I think last year we had take out on the patio, I didn't want to go out. Everyone have a good Friday and weekend. Hope to see you talking during the weekend.

Sunday is a special day Eat and play in your way Just remember next Thursday You still will have to weigh So, enjoy your day But remember in a week you have to say

If you want to do it--do it but I would suggest a mini suite. Have extra room for the kids and their things a couch, chair, table and floor space for kids to play on. Would even have more floor space if move chair and table to the side. Still has your balcony. You could still do the shows and stuff. Just depends how well behaved your 4 yr is and if the baby cries. If acting up or crying you just leave. You just have to decide if it's worth it if nothing went the way you planned.

Yes, I just called Princess.

Just tell them you want to pick it up at the terminal. What I did No problem.

Hello this Monday May 2nd. Did any of you start today off saying------- I'm really going to watch what I eat this month? Count calories--low carb--keto---fasting---What is your plan?
