pazooter Posted April 15, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I know exactly how you feel jackiedan. I've been trying to lose the same 5 pounds since mid-January. As Belle said, lots of water, cut out the unhealthy foods, and increase your exercise. Good luck and happy cruising no matter what.

paradiser Posted April 15, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2004 alecia if you haven't tried atkins you could give it a whirl I started in jan to prepare for my march cruise to lose 20 pounds in the first 2 weeks I lost 8 pounds and 12 in the first month it's really not hard once you set your mind to it I have been dieting on and off forever and it always seems to take a cruise to motivate me [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] so this time I tried atkins and I really found it very easy to follow (and I did cheat on weekends...pizza [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]) so if you get down to a couple weeks to go and you still want to lose 5-10 pounds do this with walking and you should be fine [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiedan Posted April 15, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have tried the atkins thing but it never seemed to work. I love carbs way too much. I do good for the first week but then i usually quit. I find that there just arent enough foods that I like that i can eat on atkins. I suppose though if i start the 2 weeks before the cruise maybe i will be able to squeeze it in before i cheat. Any tips on avoiding a huge weight gain while on the cruise??

pazooter Posted April 16, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2004 On your cruise never, and I mean never, use the elevators [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] This trick works every time for Bruce and me. Also check out the gym and put in an hour on the exercise equipment. We rarely gain more than a pound each. Good luck and enjoy your cruise.

WeirdEyes Posted April 16, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2004 What cruise are you going on? I'm also cruising at the end of May. It should be easy for you to lose 5 lbs before then. Watch those carbs, calories, drink plenty of water, and exercise. It works for me. I agree with Cathy....take the stairs!!! I only gained a pound on my last cruise by taking the stairs. I didn't go to the gym and I ate everything I wanted. Good luck!!! <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in.......
