Ok, I haven't read all 100+ pgs of this thread so sorry if I'm repeating things. You say you've tried everything but can I ask how long you've tried them? Did you reach your goal and then go back to your old eating and exercise habits? For some people, me being one of them, you'll never be able to mindlessly eat. I have to constantly track every calories or I gain.

Have you tried sparkpeople.com? Even if you don't use the diet plan, the community is one of the best ones for advice and support, but I suggest you try the plan. It's pretty simple.

I'm glad to see so many positive reviews. I booked two trips with them. A luxor day trip and a Cairo day trip for April. So far they've gotten back to me promptly and answered all my questions. I hope the tours go well too.

I'm a 28 year old single female. Going on my very first cruise in April to the middle east. I've wanted to take a cruise since I first watched An Affair to Remember when I was a kid. But my family is terrified of water and my friends are broke 20 something year olds...well so am I, but I saved up for this trip.:p

Excited/nervous. I'm usually comfortable on my own and don't mind eating alone, but it's a 15 day cruise so I hope I make a few friends so I don't go stir crazy. I've traveled by myself and it's always been a positive experience so hopefully cruising will work out as well.
