    Im so excited about this! I plan on adding 10 pounds to my bench, 25 to my squat and -fingers crossed- 10 on my OHP!!!!!!

    Same here! Well, I don't think I"ll make quite as large gains as you, but I'm shopping for heavier weights for Christmas because I am ready to add again.

    I expect to lose a little more than 10 lbs by new years! I refuse to let the holidays stand in my weight loss goals

    I'm gaining on purpose...the holidays will make it easier. I think I'll put on another 2-4lbs by the new year...

    OP, that's what you should be repeating to yourself!! The Holidays are not responsible for our weight gain, we are! We choose what goes in our mouth and the time we spend exercising.

    Don't starve, don't binge. Eat right, exercise. You will reach your goals!

    Yay! Great goals.

    Along the same lines, I hope to be adding 15# to my squat which will be my body weight, which I will be maintaining.

    Last year I lost 6 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

    I'm planning on losing weight before and after the new year. We attend a lot of parties year round so if I can't lost between now and the new year, I'm doomed. As long as I can stick to my exercise regime, I should continue to lose.

    I figure I'll continue to fluctuate up and down by 2-3 pounds and then continue to lose about a pound a week after Christmas until I hit my goal of 6 more pounds down. Then I'll maintain for a bit before trying my first ever bulk!

    I'll probably gain 2-3 kg, as I won't be as active without my gym membership. But I'll try to eat at maintenance most days.

    OP, do you want to gain so you can have a good New Year's Resolution to work on?

    None...I should lose about 4-5 Lbs by New Years. I will most definitely enjoy the holidays, but I don't treat the entire two months from Halloween to New Years like a free for all. I'm working with a trainer/coach right now and paying him good money...I would be doing myself and my pocket book a disservice by just doing whatever.

    I'm trying to be realistic and at this rate I'm going to try to limit the weight gain to one or two pounds... I did great last year but this year my willpower has dwindled by quite a bit!

    Anyone else?

    Just another week to me. Gain 5 / lose 5 by the following Thursday.

    It's tough, I have lots of holiday gatherings, but I try to keep my fitness routine the same and then eat really well when there is not a gathering, I can indulge some and not cause any problems.

    I don't plan to gain any. I may not lose but i'll at least maintain my weight.

    no gaining allowed for me. - I'm about 2 lbs from my second goal (30 lbs), and I'm hoping by new years I'll be working toward goal 3 (40...) - yes, baby steps - because I like being able to celebrate more regularly as I acheive them. So, no gaining for those 3 days.

    Awesome! I restarted my program, so my gains are easy for now, because Ive been there before. It takes all the fear out of it, knowing for a fact that you are definitely going to be able to get back to your old numbers - but there's this awesome sense of solid that comes with it :bigsmile:

    I started maintaining my weight right before Christmas last year, so I plan on staying within +/- three pounds, same as any other time of the year.
