    OMG .... no. Right now, I'm thinking of never weighing myself again. If I'm losing weight, I'll need new clothes. I don't need a specific number staring me in the face, mocking me or patting me on the back and thus giving permission for a little indulgence, since I've been doing so well. (Like the type who would celebrate sobriety by getting drunk.)

    Yep. Weighed yesterday, and weighed today. .5LBS higher today. All sitting in my stomach. :smile:
    And I'll weigh again tmw and expect it to be back to "normal".

    I did, despite going to bed feeling really full I woke up feeling pretty light. Like I was actually lighter and holding onto less water/food. So I though what the heck and did it anyway out of curiosity.

    +0.2lbs.

    I don't need a scale to tell me I ate too much or that if I continue to eat that much I'll have a permanent weight gain. I ate, I enjoyed.....today it's back to business as usual!

    Yes, I did. I usually weigh once a week, but I was anxious to see how much damage has been done. I'm up 2 lbs from Monday.

    Yes. I took a diet break for a week and gained 5 lbs. and it's also my TOM. I'm not concerned and am back on track today.

    Teehee...I did. I am up 5 lbs from last Thursday. I'm not mad though. As much as it sucks to see the higher number, I have to admit, I enjoyed it and I know deep down that I didn't actually gain all that. I logged everything and was over my sodium by well over 1000 for the past three days. Sodium and I are not kosher so I know that a majority of that 5 lbs is from that. I have also taken the entire month of December off from the gym and up to this past week hadn't gained anything (had actually gone down a pound). . Oh well... just have to get back on track

    Yep. 3-4 pound gain after Christmas Eve and Christmas. I always weigh in and face the music; I find it motivating.

    A good attitude (no make that GREAT attitude) to have is not to fret about gaining a bit if you enjoyed the day with friends and family and ate or exercised differently than usual. The past is in the past and you can simply make a commitment to get back on track with whatever plan you're on beginning today.

    Remember 3500 cals is roughly equal to 1 lb. So unless you ate 10,500 cals OVER maintenance in the last couple days, those "3 extra lbs" you gained are prolly just sodium and general fluctuation...
    Remembered this when I weighed this morning!
    I gained 4lb in 2 days. I'd lost 2lb on Tuesday.. so I suppose you could say I gained 6lb. :blushing: lol
    But, it's totally brushed off, I know it'll come off sooner or later and I'd rather put on and enjoy my Christmas than lose/stay the same and be regretting all the things I didn't do/eat all year!

    I've started to weigh myself everyday just to see what the fluctuations are. One of my friends on here weighs herself everyday; she says it keeps her accountable and helps her not to overeat because she has to step on that scale every morning.

    Yep - up 2lbs, but expect this was due to more fibre and water retention.

    I did. It wasn't pretty. Tomorrow is my "official" day though - so whatever it is tomorrow gets tracked.

    Did anyone weigh themselves today after Christmas ? or are you waiting until January?
    Was I the only weird on to do this ? lol
    How much did you gain if you did?

    I just wanted to weigh myself right after Christmas so I know how much I've gained so I don't wait til January an it was my way of avoiding counting the calories . I'm still enjoying the Christmas food , only gained 1.5 lbs or 2lbs including xmas eve.

    No, not today, but not because it was the day after Christmas. Most people probably did not gain any "fat weight" but probably gained plenty of "water weight" and the scale tipped due to having all that extra food in us. It will go away.

    In order to actually gain one pound, you need to eat 3,500 over your TDEE, or 1,750 over to gain a half of pound. That's an awful lot of food, though I guess it can be done if your spread on the table was similar to ours......

    Happy new year all! ,

    yep. I'm down 5 lbs from Monday. I wouldn't recommend how I lost it, though. Nasty stomach virus.

    I had this yesterday. I'm down 3.2 this week.

    Yep, it has been going around. I hope you are feeling better. I've got the cold that's been going around. Ick!
