Cruise to Lose Part 2

By: Jennifer Howe

New Port Richey - A Bay area woman organized a Cruise to Lose last year, to show people how they can lose weight at sea.

"Cruising is not just about eating," said Terri Neade. "It's a way to get out there. Socialize. Be active. Have fun."

Terri had bariatric surgery on November 7, 2006 and has lost 130 pounds.

"Life is grand," she said. "Life is wonderful."

Passengers on the Cruise to Lose meet with doctors and gather for support groups.

Terri helps them learn to have fun without obsessing about food.

She's planning another cruise in September.
