I am very active on vacations and always lose weight! I walk everywhere more than I do it at home. And being busy all the time also means I don’t particularly have time to eat. I never eat at restaurants. I shop at farmer’s markets and grocery stores.

Diane, this is a great post. I have often wondered why people always assume they are going to gain. The only reason you should gain is if you make a decision that you are taking a break from eating healthily. Again, great post.

@ Jody – Of course you lose weight on vacation – you are totally disciplined and fit. Hawaii sounds lovely; I’ve just seen pictures! Planning is important not only at home, but on vacation as well. Thanks for the great comment!

@ Sandrelle – Your story just shows what planning and dedication can do! And for a newly minted “loser” it probably proved to you that you had made a lifestyle change! I loved your blog yesterday and today!

@ Jenelle – Active vacations are awesome, and so is local cuisine. It sounds like you have a firm plan for your upcoming vacation. Have a great one!

@ Leah – I love this story. When I was overweight I never would have dreamed to ask for a good walking route. Now I do everytime we go somewhere. It’s fun to exercise in other places!

@ monnik – That vacation sounds fun. I loved it when we rented a beach house once. It did make eating healthy a lot easier!

@ Andrea – Thanks for the comment. I love moderation – that way I can still have chocolate!

@ R – I’m glad you are liking the blog! Your vacations sound like fun. Ours were usually a bunch of sitting around trying to decide what to do!

@ Jack – It’s all a matter of balance isn’t it? What makes you feel like you enjoy the vacation, but still come home in control of your weight. Thanks for the comment.

@ Tina – You are too funny! I’ll say it again – you don’t have to gain 5 pounds on vacation!

@ Running Girl – Thanks for the link on your site! Have a wonderful vacation and good luck on the race!

@ MaryAnne – I’m glad you liked it. It’s different for every person, but for me, I too think expectations of weight loss aren’t unreasonable.
