So the dietician was right...(long)
I went to see the dietician on Friday Feb 24th for my three month check up. I weighed in at 194 pounds. That was down 77 pounds from my starting weight. My weight loss had slowed to only a pound or so a week. She asked what I was eating and what I was doing for exercise. I gave her my typical day( around 800 calories) and my exercise routine( 3 times a week with personal trainer and twice a week skiing or rowing). She said I was exercising too much for the amount that I was eating. She suggested that I try to increase my intake or decrease my exercise until I was able to eat more. She also told me to start adding whole grains, brown rice, and more fruits and veggies as I had not been trying much of those at all.
On the Tuesday(28th), I went on vacation to Mexico. I ate very well! Buffet is a wonderful thing! I added fruits and veggies, ate fish 2-3 times a day most days. Never overate but certainly ate enough while paying close attention to what I was eating. Never had any desert and never had a single drink.
My Mom and I leisurely walked the 6 km beach every day and we did a couple of day trips with my daughter and her boyfriend. Swam lightly once a day for twenty minutes or so and had a wonderful time and great weather. 30 degrees and sunny every day.
Came home the following Wednesday(7th), jumped on the scale and was down 10.2 pounds from my weigh in with the dietician! Never done anything in my life but gain weight on vacation!
Since I've been home I have been trying to pay closer attention to increasing my intake while keeping to good choices. Down another 3 pounds this week!!!! That's 181 now(down 90 pounds). Only ten more pounds to the Century club, woohoo!
Congrats on all your NSV's while I was away, good luck to those going in for surgery and thanks a bunch to all of you for continuing to be such a daily support and encouragement! It means the world!

That happened to me in Dec when we went to Mexico. I to ate very well lots of protien and fruits and veggies and lots of frozen crystal lite slushies. I came home and had lost 8 pounds! So the moral of the story is I either need a personal chef or to just go on permant vacation in Mexico!! I choose Mexico!! Congrats.
Way to go Cherry. I think that it's almost like finding the magic formula that each of us needs to keep our bodies in the wl groove. Finding the right balance of protein, carbs and exercise that your particular machine needs to run efficiently.
Keep up the good work. I wish you much continued success.
