    Since Dec 20 I've gained .8lbs. Lot's of Yo-Yoing over the past 2 weeks but I'm very excited to have gotten all of the partying out of my system and eager to be back on it today.

    I had a blowout Xmas... it was planned that way so no surprise I gained 7lbs between 20 Dec and 01 Jan... eating clean and on track since 01Jan has that gain down to 3lbs now. Hope to have this back to mid December figure within the next two weeks....

    I threw out/gave away all our surplus sweets, biscuits, junk early in the New Year

    I treat holidays as blowouts, don't record, don't worry but make sure I'm back on the wagon the first day back.

    Happy New Year to all

    I really didn't watch it, and I "gained" about 4 pounds, though I've been yo-yoing those 4 pounds for a few weeks anyways. I've really started watching it again since yesterday.

    I gained about 3 lbs.

    More importantly, my college freshman athlete son who lost 15 lbs during fall semester due to the food at school being kind of gross gained back 8 lbs of what he lost because I cooked yummy meals for him and food is love.

    Yes, I realize that is a total run-on sentence but my heart is full and an extra 3 lbs isn't going to change that right now.

    Update: of the 7lbs I gained over Christmas/New Years, about 4 of those lbs went away the first 4 days. I'm hoping that after a full week back on plan I'll be within a pound or two of where I was at before my diet break.

    Trending up .5 since beginning of December. I actually dropped weight for a while. I am probably the only @hole that loses weight on a vacation. I was pretty regimented over the holidays. Relaxed a bit at family meals, but planned the best i could and logged loosely at those meals. I am ok with the weight gain. I am actually trying to do some slow weight restoration without unleashing my massive appetite on the world. Lol

    I gained 8lb in December, meh, most of it is probably water weight as my long runs are all in double figures, I switched up my lifting routine so I'm lifting a little heavier and I've eaten a lot of rubbish, carb heavy food. Getting the eating under control this week then got an intensive week with my PT following a strict eating plan, will probably have dropped most of it within 10days.

    I gained 1 lb in December. I worked out until Dec. 24th but I was lazy while on vacation. Not too much damage considering how many sweets I ate during Christmas week.

    Looks like I gained 3pds from christmas to today. I am disappointed in not being able to limit the desserts/bedtime snack and wine more (i was "careful" but still overate). I don't do well at self control over time and while I ate properly 75% of each day, the last %25 of most days was a big fail.

    Will have to figure out a plan for next year.

    having said that, i'm not dwelling of feeling too sorry for myself. it is what it is. the key is to fall back into a good routine again today. and tomorrow. and the day after tomorrow....

    About 3 Lbs from Thanksgiving through New Years. Not bad considering we had lots of yummy things and exercise was pretty irregular and some weeks non-existent.

    I didn't gain anything, but I didn't lose either. To be fair, I haven't been trying that hard yet. Just not in the right mindset yet. I've just been trying to move a little more and implement some healthier meals.

    Went down by 2kg during December. Gained muscles and therefore lost even more fat in the festive period.

    Went training in the gym with my boyfriend both first and second day of Christmas to a beautiful nordic sunrise.

    Wonderful feeling!

    Today was my weigh in day, up one pound. I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine and there being a few less treats around.

    Well, after only 5 days back on plan, all 7lbs I gained have gone away. I knew it would be almost all water weight since I was on a high sodium, carb fest for a full week. I guess now I can get back to losing some actual fat.

    Thought for sure I would have gained something, I even went on vacation and ate at buffets everyday and had four bowls of ice cream every night lol (not to forget all the Christmas cookies!). Came home got the flu for a week and well I guess things balanced out. Glad I ate as much as I did now!

    Up 8lbs here as an arthritis flare last week of November meant no exercise in all December plus I really cut loose with my eating. Disappointed in myself but back on it now and starting gentle exercise again.

    What I gained over the holidays...

    Rest
    Exercise
    And a little bit of sanity. :)

    So I weighed in after the holiday season today ... and I've gained 300 grams. :)

    After an incredibly stressful and busy year, I was able to take 2 weeks off. We travelled, we ate, we slept and rested, and we exercised.

    Turns out that was a good combination. :)

    I gained 14.6(!!!!!!!!?!!) pounds in 10 days, the majority of which days I ate at my normal deficit.

    I've lost like 7.2 in the last 2 days. I hate the scale sometimes.

    Here's hoping for another multipound overnight loss of water weight tonight!
