Pounds B-4 Vegas/Pounds After

[Moonwatcher]

Hey...this is not too bad. I'm kind of proud. Here's the facts.

Started Apr. 7th (again...dieting!)
Start wt. 171
got to approx. 157, 158 and then could not seem to lose more. The day I left for Vegas (last Wed.5/30) I weighed 155!!!!
Then in Vegas....I went off the Atkins diet, especially because I knew I would be drinking but I tried REALLY HARD not to just blow it and eat everything in sight. I went almost 2 days and only ate shrimp cocktail with some lettuce. I know that doesn't sound healthy but.....I knew I would be drinking a bunch of calories and I didn't want to be eating them too.
Anyway.......let me get to the good part.
Last night after Robins wedding the whole gang came back to my hotel room for a little reception type thing (thank you wonderful Phensters...kiss kiss kiss) and I ate some mints and had a piece of cake. I did NOT EAT any chips or dip and I only ate ONE Flaiming Hot Cheetoe becasue Robin made me eat one!!!
Anyway......I was scared to death to weigh myself when I got home but.......guess what??? Drum roll please........I got on the scale and it said....156. That would mean I only gained one pound the whole trip! That would be GREAT considering all the drinking I did.

Soooooooooooooo
How do we make this better you ask?
About 15 minutes after I weighed myself.....I started my period!
Wow......I usually gain at least 3..or 4 pounds right before I start. So...if I only gained 1 while on vacation AND just started my period...

Could have been a lot worse!

Thanks for listening.....you sweet sweet wonderful Phensters.

Moon,
I went to vegas last oct with some girlfriends from work, I ate at the buffets, and drank like a fish, got back didnt gain a lb. I think its the walking from casino, to casino, and the arm movement on the slot machines burning all those extra calories!!!

I am glad it went well !
when is someone going to share picts ?

Thanks ya'll....you guys always make me feel sooooooo good.

As far as pictures go, the ones in my camera are still in my camera. Bill took a lot of video...AND...I have wonderful stories to tell but don't want to steal them away from Robin. As we all know...I kiss and tell EVERYTHING but I realize "normal" people do not do this. I should have asked Robin before I left Vegas if she wanted me (all of us) to keep our mouths shut until she got home. I think all of us are trying not to say too much...until she does get home.

Most of you know this but for those that don't...
I met Robin months and months ago in Dallas. I flew up there and we spent the day and evening together drinking and talking for hours and hours. I had pictures of Robin even before I met her the first time but never "posted" any in the forum because they were her pictures. Before I share anything in such a "public" place I will have to get permission from the "Princess" herself.

We are such a family here and I love that this place is so special to so many of us but some times we forget this is the Internet and God only knows who else is looking over our shoulders.
Know what I mean Vern? LoL!

Sidenote
I think Bill plans to do a little website with lots of photos but it may take a little time to get it done. He can even do short little video clips. He has done sites like this before for Tyler's football team. I just need to check with Robin and Mike about it.
