I can and will do this!
3 lbs down today......another pound to go before I reach my pre-binge weight 
.....then it's on to new territory
I must admit to being nervous about being on the ship and surrounded by food day and night
My plan is to ban myself entirely from the buffet and to eat just one meal - dinner- in the formal dining room
......portion controlled as it is waiter service, and just have a sensible main course and some fruit for dessert
I don't drink alcohol so that's a non- issue, and am happy with fizzy water
Hopefully that, combined with swimming and a couple of miles walking the promenade deck each day , will keep my weight stable......and possibly a few pounds down
Not sure what to do on the long flights though.........probably just eat what looks the healthiest, and not eat the bread or pudding
.......and stay away from the food in the airport lounges!!!

You've done really well getting just a pound off your pre-binge weight so quickly. It took dedication and you've had a lot of TS days. It sounds like you have a good plan for managing your food on your trip. I find airline food difficult. I usually take a few Exante bars and packet shakes when I travel. Maybe you could take a couple of low calorie bars with you if some of the airline meals aren't a good choice, e.g. pasta. The main thing is to have a good time and de-stress. You could maintain your weight loss if you keep active and may even lose some weight which would be great, but even if you put a few pounds on, you know that you will lose them when you get home.

The voice of reason......thank you
After the last few months I so need a restful and relaxing time away, and that's what I plan to do
This trip has been booked for 3 years, and is very much a once in a lifetime voyage
.......so I'm going to enjoy it to the full

Hello from Brisbane
Hello from sunny London. I hope you had a good flight and you are adjusting to the time difference and enjoying Brisbane before joining the cruise. One of my bridesmaids lived in Brisbane, she just moved to the Gold Coast over the weekend. It's a lovely area.

A quick hello from Dubai airport
......it's 7am and 31 degrees
First leg of journey done
......just a 14 hour flight to Brisbane now!
It's been 34.4C here. Too hot for me and apparently the hottest day of the year. I hope you are enjoying your cruise.

Have a great day in Sydney. Have you been there before? I hope the storms in Australia are tailing off now. That photo of the drenched koala on a fence post has been on the news. We are sweltering in London with 30C forecast although other areas have had torrential rain. Where are you off to after Sydney? Any other Australian ports, or a few days at sea en route to an island?

Hi Julie
Had a nice day in Sydney - went to the wildlife park in Darling Harbour, then got the ferry back to circular quay and wandered round to the opera house. The weather improved greatly in the afternoon - the rain cleared and the sun came out.
Have 3 days at sea now......next port is Alotau in PNG, arriving on Sunday. Weather today was very dodgy - wet and cold, but forecast for tomorrow is very much better
.....spent a very idle day reading and doing sudoku, and an afternoon nap as I'm still very jet lagged
