The vacation cure for a stall

I came home 3 pounds lighter than when I left for vacation!!!  I had been stuck for 3 1/2 weeks!!!  Maybe I should go out ot town to break all of my stalls???   We had a great time.  I had tastes of all the good foods that Santa Fe has to offer.  I did not miss the huge plates of food.  I totally enjoyed my tiny portions and tastes of the good stuff.  I did not feel deprived in any way.  I even had a few bites of cake to celebrate my birthday.  I ate exactly the number of bites I had already decided to have and no more.  I did not want another bite.  The amazing thing is that there was cake left on the plate that went back to the kitchen.  I did NOT feel compelled to fini**** (you know you shouldn't waste perfectly good food!) Hmmm. where do I go tor my next stall??? Denise

WOOOOHOOOO!! I'm so happy for you! Isn't it funny how that happens? Mine broke and I lost weight in Vegas. Who'd a thought that?? Am on perpetual vacation at the lake for 2 weeks without a scale. Hope it's continuing here. LOL Congrats!!!! Cindy

Denise, Congratulations and Happy Birthday!  It just hasn't been the same around the boards without you and Kim the last few days. I am so happy for you that your "body readjustment period" (Ruth says not to use the "s" word..) has finally come to an end.  I was getting worried that you'd be out looking for a Dr. give you the rest of a DS before too long.  (not that there's anything wrong with that...) I would humbly suggest Washington DC for your next stall (damn - I mean body readjustment).  Lots and lots of fun and interesting things to do, and most of them involve walking.  My 10 year old and I are hoping to get back there this fall - I can't wait.  If you do go, I suggest picnic lunch from the deli counter at Dean & DeLuca - all sorts of wonderful cheeses and meats to try out. Again - it's so great to see you back online - I'm hoping to you see on Thursday at Support Group! John

I'm thrilled you had a great time and WOOHOO for scales moving!!! : )

 I prefer the word "plateau" over "stall" lol... and may I suggest the fine cuisine of San Antonio (aka home sweet home)... I am still scared to eat much down there, it's so rich and I'm *almost* 4 years out, but that is some authentic food.  Glad to know your "stall" is over, Denise... that is great to hear that you're losing again and doing great!

Oooooh, I need a road trip so baaaaaaaaad.  But it is not to be at the moment.

I love local cuisine and that hasn't changed since banding-I just eat less.

Thanks all!  I really think it was the retail therapy that did the trick.  You have to walk a lot of miles to find that perfect bargain!  I am thinking the Galleria in Dallas for the next stall (Yeah, bite me, Ruthie! Love ya!  BUT, it was a stall!) Ooh, and I found a Wii Fit while I was there.  I plan on firing it up this evening.  I can't wait! Denise

I've been stalled for three months-I think we should all plan a mercy trip to get me moving again......Shopping for Deb  (but you get to keep what you buy).

So Cool! Where did you find the Wii Fit? I've heard nothing but wonderful things about them. Let us know how you like it! : )

I'm so happy for you that your STALL is over!    I know that when I got back from vacation, I had lost more than I expected.  Maybe we all need to just look into being on perpetual vacation!!!
