Hi -I agree with the 'too much fruit can be too much' theory. 2 bananas is actually 4 servings of fruit. But I'd rather see you eat that than a processed bar of some sort.

Have any of you thought about the Simply Filling plan? I'm on that - love it. You can eat any POWER FOODS for free! Well, it's until you are satisfied. But I like it because I hated counting points for milk and stuff. It's amazing how much you can have - most grains, potatoes, meats, fish, all veggies and fruit.

You can have 49 extra points a week to fill in - when I'm doing well, it's just to fill in - coffee creamer - some little treats.

5 pounds in 3 weeks - that's great! It's a hard transition from Points to Points Plus - at first, I was afraid to eat anything for fear of going over my 29 points - this year, it's 26 points - I found out on my own that 29 were too many. But now I'm on SF.

Hi everyone - I just found this site and thread! And I'm really excited.

Hubby and I are cruising in December - and I spend every day wondering how to manage 11 days on a ship filled with food.

I've lost a little over 96 pounds on WW - it's taken a couple of years - I fooled around for a long time - but never gave up(which I always did before), never gave up my meetings (which I always did before), and I keep hanging in there.

I think I have about 30-35 pounds still to lose. And that is my goal by late summer. April was a bummer for me - bingeing - but I'm back on track since last Wednesday (my WI day).

I've come to the conclusion that I don't HAVE to eat all that food just because it's there. And I know I have to hit the treadmill and walk the decks and take the stairs. But buffets and surround-sound food have always been my downfalls.

I couldn't read all the previous posts - but what are your plans for your cruise? I'm so glad I found this thread - my two favorite dreams in life - cruising and being at a healthy weight.

I noticed you are from Nova Scotia - are you used to fresh Atlantic lobster?

This is not the type served on the cruise. It was a smallish tail with other seafood with it. While it was good, it would not determine if I wanted to bring a suit just to have it.

We are from New England - best lobster in the world!!!!!!!::D

Soda, you forgot soda and other soft drinks.

We received a $340 OBC and when we checked our account on board (either at Guest Relations or on your in-room TV) we had another $200 - didn't know what it was for and really didn't care.

Could we spend it all? God yes, and some extra!!! Your gratuities are added daily for each person on your card.

I was able to buy a beautiful handbag for my anniversary with our OBC.

OBC - it's a lovely thing!
