Because my kind of vacation involves drinking and reading and being lazy by the beach :). None of that active shit, plz! I go on vacation to RELAX</p> <p>@bananapancakes, that's insane. If it's true, that's an *extra* 3500 calories/day. GOOD LORD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1306256 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:52:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 1306256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on a cruise. They once told us on a cruise that the average person gains 8lbs on a 7 day voyage. I've never gained more than 4, and that was a 10 day cruise, so people must eat a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1306242 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:34:26 +0000 cascademom 1306242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Christmas, I had a ton of Southern food and managed to lose weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1305419 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 00:58:07 +0000 sarac 1305419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I always vacation in places where we're really active sightseeing or just walking around. I usually come home and miss all the exercise. I'm not into laying around on vacation - I don't know how people do that! I can never seem to sit still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1305418 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 00:54:23 +0000 Purpledaisy 1305418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I eat so many sweets on vacations... It's always worth it though :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1305392 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 23:51:19 +0000 SweetMamaM 1305392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends - I have before, but this year I didn't. We went to Samoa and the resorts that we stayed at had a big focus on fresh produce, meat and seafood, plus we were swimming each day. We also went to Melbourne and despite eating absolutely decadently, we also ended up walking about 10kms every day while sight-seeing. I think it depends on the holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304476 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 12:16:48 +0000 Lindsay05 1304476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because we walk all day everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304435 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:38:10 +0000 Mae 1304435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the type of vacation. A lay-on-your-ass-at-the-beach vacation I generally do. But a sightseeing vacation I generally don't because all the walking offsets the eating out for me. Also we tend not to eat 3 meals/day on vacation because we're just not used to eating that much. We usually do either a late breakfast and early dinner, or we do just a snack in the am like a luna bar, lunch, late dinner. So that probably helps. Also I find that any weight I do gain usually comes off within a few days. I think I retain water when I eat salty (i.e. restaurant) food easily and after 2 days of normal food and lots of water it falls back off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304420 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:28:59 +0000 Smurfette 1304420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304406 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:19:36 +0000 sandy 1304406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes bc we eat out every meal :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304387 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 11:08:12 +0000 petunia354 1304387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but not usually much less than I would expect!! I typically think that I've gained 15 bls but most of the time its only a few pounds... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304344 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:36:37 +0000 betsyboop 1304344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304339 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:35:03 +0000 Grace 1304339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. I tend to go places with lots of walking opportunities, so it helps with the extra eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304338 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:35:03 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1304338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But I think it levels back out a few days after getting home. I think the majority of it is bloat/water weight and once I get back to my normal routine I'm good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304329 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 10:33:35 +0000 jhd 1304329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Anytime I eat at restaurants I tend to gain--even when I order smarter choices. We eat more simply at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-when-you-go-on-vacay#post-1304218 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 09:11:17 +0000 chopsuey 1304218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg we were gone for 4 days and I gained 3lbs. </p> <p>Buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. </p>
