infoqueen Posted July 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just a thought now i am back at work (and weightwatchers!!) how much weight do you usually put on on your cruise (If any? ok joke) and how long does it usually take you to get it off again for the next cruise. Very pleased this time put on 3.5 lbs and this week after watching what I eat for the last 4 days it has come off again. This time we ate at the orion a la carte and although it is 5 courses you feel pleasantly full not bloated like I usually do after buffet. Hardly had any chips this time and lots of fresh veg yet still ate lots of puddings and had a fair amount of cocktails,malibu,baileys etc what has been your experience?

capasamari Posted July 15, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I usually put on half a stone over a two week cruise, but once I get home and start eating normally/sensibly again, and not drinking so much alcohol, it comes off again. My friend recommends not weighing yourself too soon after returning from a fly-cruise as she reckons we retain fluid and therefore weigh more immediately after a flight...

Ceabea Posted July 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I dont put much on - couple of pounds mainly due to the consumption of cocktails which are full of sugar. The food is so varied its easy to stick to my eating plan (I do slimming world and have lost 50lb so far!!) and Im not the sort of person to pile loads of food on my plate just because its there and' free'! and I don't like to be too full - I only get what I know I can comfortably eat, and of course on Dream in April they had the daily sugar free dessert which was wonderful for me! also we do like to get off the ship and walk walk walk so that certainly helps me keep the gain to a minimum. My other half however - he is a runner and runs 3 times a week (15 - 20 miles at a time) so on the cruise he can gain up to 7lb, a combination of not getting his usual level of exercise and the fact he eats 3 times as much food as I do and WILL pile ridiculous amounts on his plate and go back 2 and 3 times for more even when full LOL He in fact has some special 'cruise pants' that are slightly bigger than he normally wears that he takes on holidays LOL he is stick thin and can lose the gained weight in a couple of weeks once back to his running.
