Vacation was a success!!! How about u??

Hi, I just came back from vacation:Camping!! and i thought i gained 5 lbs for sure. i wasn't really bad but i had some snack mix and other stuff (all sugar free) at snack times instead of protien based snacks and i was so nervous to step on the scale yesterday morning!! But i am happy to say not only did i not gain 5 lbs, i lost 1 lb.!!!! i am now 140.5 lbs. my Birthday is tomorrow and i couldn't imagine a better birthday present than this one, i am so happy now, we took vacation photos and i was actually in some and i am thin!! i showed my family and they said yeah that's you, and i couldn't believe it because in my head i still see myself as bigger!! does anyone else do that too?? Please share your vacation stories and image stories too!! i would like to know that i am not alone!! Happy Birthday to me!!! Stacy 262.5~140.5 11/14/2003

Hi HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACY!!! I haven't really had a vacation just taking days off this summer and going to picnics etc. on the weekends. I am having a problem seeing the weightloss in pictures myself. I lined up all my pictures as I have lost weight in the past 9 months and I can't really see it myself. I can feel it, and my clothes are going down and getting bigger too of course. As long as the scale keeps going down I am happy. It's turning out to be a beautiful summer weather wise, let's hope it continues. My Birthday is the 26th and I am having a Birthday/Picnic on the 25th and looking forward to it, and I am taking the 26th off for a long weekend. Darlene Lap RYN 309/235/???

WOW! What a great gift-- losing weight on vacation!?!? Who would have thought! I haven't been on my vacation yet- I leave next Monday for a week long cruise. I am SCARED that I will gain weight! The cruise is for my 30th birthday so I am looking forward ti enjoying a great vacation. I think I will brave photos too this time. I usually HATE pictures- but after dropping 125lbs- it just may be time! Happy B-day and congrats on a fab vacation! Celeste 303/175/143goal

Happy 30th!! Mine is coming up on the 23rd. Have a great Cruise! I have been better about pictures lateley, especially because my face is a LOT thinner than it used to be and I can really tell. In fact I was signing papers with a notary for our refinance and when she looked at my Drivers License she said - This doesn't look like you, you must have lost a LOT of weight. That was the best thing to hear.
