Anyway, the trip was incredible. We love Jamaican people and their land. They were incredibly gracious and serving. We felt like royalty at all times. We are incredibly thankful to have been able to go! We are incredibly grateful to my parents for keeping the kids and dogs in order while we were gone!
Bill learned to wind surf and did very well! I water skied. We went on a glass bottom boat trip and snorkeling trip. We sailed a Hobie Cat twice and then did a lot of beach laying and pool bar partying! The food was so incredibly good. We ate a feast every night of wonderful veggies, fruits, great treated meats and Bill had fish at every meal!! I am so happy to report that I felt I did very well food wise! I made good choices and was very diligent to drink 100 oz of water every day! Bill and I only shared desert one night at a fancy restaurant which was our plan. I did however drink alcohol
but we knew we would since it was an all inclusive, so I did not feel guilty. I know many of you will think this is weird but I am thrilled to have only gained 4 lbs! Had I not been conscious of my food intake (bec. believe me the choice to eat 24/7 is there!) I would have come back bigger than when I started! But I never felt deprived and felt totally in control.
So today I am so relaxed I'm sure I have zero blood pressure! Bill and I are re-adjusting and I am slurping away at medifast! I am not having a hard time today w/ hunger or control issues so all in all I would say that this journey has been an absolute success!!
Thanks for all the kind wishes and welcome backs! I am trying to catch up! I've decided to of course get back on the medi trail to get back to my second goal of 140 and then I am contemplating another 5! We'll see!
Oh, and one more thing - my profile now says Beach Bound! We are heading to the Outer Banks (Islands off the coast of the Carolinas) in August! Then off to Mexico in Nov. Bill is right now looking up Bermuda as we are contemplating that for next year! Can you tell traveling is in my blood?

I'm so jealous!!! And....you only gained 4 pounds - that's super!! I think I could gain 4 pounds in one day!!
thinking about you everyday - we feel like 
No worries about those 4 lousy pounds - they will come off right away. Some of it is fluid retention caused from flying.
and glowing! I do not think it is wierd to be happy with only a 4lb weight gain! I went to Hawaii in March of '00 and came back 10lbs heavier. Really. I got pg with my first child less than 2 weeks after coming home and never had the chance to lose it. (Well, I am now....5 years later... 
...rather attempting to get back to that weight...)
......I am estatic for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!... 
...I can totally relate with being thrilled with only a 4 lb gain..........which you already lost half of...... 
....I am so proud of you for making good choices..... 
...having been on many all-inclusives I know the temptation of all that food & alcohol..... 
.....even though I don't drink......the non-alcoholic drinks are awesome as well...........I am in awe that you only had dessert 
......and split it at that ..........being on that type of vacation would prove to me that one could definitly handle maintenance with much success..........well i'm glad you back with us..... 
....and that your soon to be beach bound..... 
.......aren't they the best..........
