Love love love this video! I joined Weight Watchers a few weeks ago but had fallen away from tracking because we’ve been so busy lately with buying a new house and readying to move. It’s just so stressful! I had let myself off of tracking points. After watching this video I got right back on the WW website and tracked my food for today. Thanks Betsy and Connie!

My story is opposite of Christine. I would bloat up when overworked. When I quit my job last Summer and traveled SE Asia, I dropped about 25 pounds over 4 months. I returned to the US for a few months and gained almost 15 of those pounds back! Now, having been traveling in SE Asia again the past 2 months, I’ve dropped that 15.
In the US, I eat pizza hut, Arbys, homemade Oreo Butterfinger shakes, and drive everywhere. I also worked out a lot, but not enough to overcome the diet. On the road, I eat rice and meat, and do a lot of walking. It’s really that simple for me!
Good luck and I hope to see some updates during your traveling!

Funny, we got in shape with diet and exercise before we left on our career break and 7 months later (and still on the road) we are so blubbery from all of our eating. Seems like everywhere we go, we want to try everything and we forget that travel food has calories too. You would think that hiking a lot would do the trick but I guess you have to hike daily and we don’t. At any rate, we are fat and happily traveling. Isn’t that what it’s all about. Just found your website via briefcase to backpack–looking forward to keeping up with your adventures….enjoy!!!

Hi, Amy. I’m going to pull it down and edit it a bit, and in the meantime I’ll post an oldy-but-goody from a while back. Look for this video post on Wednesday, and thanks for your patience.

Tried to watch the video but got a notice that it had been removed because it was too long. (more than the 10-minute limit) I’m hoping you can edit a bit and put it back up because I, too, struggle with weight loss and would like the inspiration.
Thanks!
