 I admit I went on a cruise and I put on 1.8 pounds. You know what I did after I get back from the cruise? I've lost three because I know what to do now with PhD weight loss and nutrition. It's that simple. You keep an eye on the scale. You know what to eat. You know what to avoid. If you splurge a little bit like I did on the cruise last week, the Alaska Patriots cruise, 1.8 pounds I put on, three pounds off.
