Lookin' good, man! I agree with @randumbtech. Sometimes the weight loss lags. I do think you need to take breaks from the journey to let your body catch up. Not anything where you go crazy, but a week every 3-4 months is good for you. I recently went on a cruise and was trying to lose 10lbs before hand and I ended up procrastinating and trying to lose it in a month. For me, this was about 200 to 190. I actually made it, but I wore my body clean out and ended up getting Covid on the cruise. So yeah. Don't overdo things, especially when you're over 40. I ended up gaining about 5lbs on the cruise week and then the week after with Covid and not being able to exercise.
@@hasenmyer Thanks Adam. I started cruising in 2009 and I've loved it ever since, however the more popular cruising gets, the more packed the ships get. I'm just about to release my latest cruise video. We got upgraded to a suite so the suite tour video is out.
I'm guessing it's because you hit the gym so hard for the two weeks prior to vacation, your metabolism was sped up. It'll stay that way for a few days (possibly a week) but eventually will slow down again with inactivity. I'd say the only concern as an outside observer is that the meds didn't seem to curb your appetite. If it was effective, you wouldn't feel the urge to eat regardless of whether you are on vacation or not. Is it possible your body has built up a tolerance to it? Take what I say with a HUGE grain of salt - I'm not a doctor, and I don't even play one on YT. 😉🤣 Glad you had fun with the fam on vacation - can't wait to see some pics/video!
yes a tolerance has definitely built up, 5mg is not nearly as effective but it's all I could get at the time. It suppresses appetite for about 3 days instead of 7, but I still don't have the urge to snack (which is nice)..oh well back to the grind. Currently wrapping my head around how to present the cool stuff we did, along with the gear, but I'll get to it.
Isn't it just maddening?! I can run around like a chicken without a head all week just grazing on fruit/vegetables/etc. and gain 3lbs. . . . then just eat fast food garbage and sit in my office every day for hours and end up losing 2lbs. I just try to be reasonable these days or I'll go insane(r).
LOL maddening is right! I guess I'll just chipping away at it, sooner or later I"m going to see that scale start to go down again. Either way I don't feel like passing out by going up a flight of stairs..which is nice

congrats on hitting your goal, 10lbs is HUGE! Hope you had fun on your cruise, I've always been hesitant to go on one.
