Thanks for all of your tips! UPDATE: Before I left for Ireland, I weighed 122.5 lbs. After coming back, I weighed 120.5 lbs. Had a wonderful trip, was actually VERY lucky with the weather (it only rained one out of ten days)! As I said before, weightloss while there was not a priority, I just did not want to gain weight. But I know I would have lost some pounds if I hadn't purchased macadamia nuts the first day there to snack on throughout the trip. I was able to avoid the ever-present potato at meals. They've gotten better at grilling meats. Not once did I get something resembling shoe leather. Sometimes for dessert, I would get a plate of Irish cheeses.
