    I pretty much stopped logging and just enjoyed December. Up 3 pounds, and discovered that one bite of chocolate, cake or cookies is like flipping a switch. I hope I can “do” moderation next year. I started out counting calories but quickly derailed.

    Very similar here! I really enjoyed my steak pie which I would never normally have and some cake. I intend to eat a lot of fish over the next week or to to get back to what I weighed before Christmas!

    I switched to temporary maintenance at the beginning of December because a lot of my exercise comes from riding my bike to work which I won't be able to do for the winter months. Plus I wanted a little practice for permanent maintenance. I was doing great until last week when everything went to *kitten*. Last year I managed the holidays really nicely and stayed within calorie goals for the most part. This year - nope! Best part of it though was the realization that as tempting as it is to let loose, I don't even enjoy it. I don't like the foods half as much as I think I will, I hate the feeling of being gorged and I hate the sugar crashes. So I've got myself back on track as of today - back to maintenance until the end of February and then with renewed dedication to lose the last 15 pounds! Happy New Year to all!

    Happy New Years, temporary maintainers! My husband is downstairs cooking dinner, then we’re headed out to ring in the new year at our neighborhood bar. Good times. I’ve taken the next few days off and am trying to decide how to ease back into my deficit. I’m going to miss the extra calories, but I feel pretty good and strong and rested, and that’s really the point, right?

    I’m that way, too. I can be so good, but if I decide it’s okay, it makes it really hard to do moderation. I do not have maintenance down. I’m losing ten lbs up from my goal in 2016
