Losing weight on VACATION??

OK Everyone - it's been a while, this is the time of year we try and take some time off, so went to New York for a week, then California for a week.  I lost 2lbs while in NY and then 1lbs while in California - THANK YOU TO MY BAND!!!!  My godness, I normally would come back from a vacation and have put on 5lbs, at least!  I didn't even feel like I had deprived myself either!! I have read alot of post from people getting ready to start their journey, it is still work on your part, we have only gotten a tool to assist us, but how you will feel is simply AMAZING....  I still have a long road ahead of me, but already feel like a different person MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY!  GOOD LUCK to all of you and I use this website as my LIFELINE!!!  The people here are great and everyone knows EXACTLY what we're going through!  Just wanted to touch base with my excitement and let you all know I am still ALIVE & WELL.
