    My weight has gone from 144 (on Dec. 23rd) to 149.5 this morning. I wish I could say it is because I didn't work out, ate a ton of holiday food, didn't log my calories, and generally ignored all things fitness.

    In reality, the opposite is true. I logged every bite, did not eat any sweets nor did I go over my daily calorie intake. I was on break so I worked out every single day, lifted weights and did cardio.

    Yet, my weight has gone up by 5.5 pounds in 7 days without having fallen off any bandwagon. Go figure.

    Fell off the wagon big time oer Christmas and have put on 8lbs since my last weigh-in a couple of weeks before Christmas :-S
    But I am SO ready to start eating healthy again! I feel terribly bloated, lethargic, even a little depressed and I'm sure it's all down to the rich food and over-indulgence in alcohol!
    Swimming today and back to my team sports again next week. Can't wait to shake off this Christmas belly!

    I was actually able to lose 2.7 over the holiday. Not sure how because I really ate like crap. I'm assuming it's because I consumed all my calories at one meal. I didn't eat more then once a day during celerations because I felt like total crap!

    -2lb or so.

    There are some advantages to spending the holidays on your own :) - AND to having your own gym setup up stairs!

    The day after Christmas it said I gained 1.5 pounds, but I think some of it was water weight from eating salty food & TOM.

    I put on 1.6 lb between December 21-30 and it really stuck around during that time and then it started coming back off the past couple of days. I ate well/light over New Year's and watched my sodium and this morning I was back to my December 20 weight.

    Honestly for me I think going over by 300-400 calories on the 24-25 was less of an issue than simply going over crazily on sodium for the rest of last week, due to restaurant meals. So the 1.6 lb was probably water retention. I normally never go over on sodium.

    Minimal. Probably need to put on a pound to be honest.

    I did, but it seems to be water weight since it came off fairly easily this past week.

    I only put on 1lb! I don't know how though, as i ate big meals and about 4 takeaways over Christmas. I also ate chocolate for the first time in about 4 months. At one point i weighed myself expecting to be disappointed but i'd lost a pound. o_O

    Oh dear, looks like I was one of the worse - 5lbs gain for me over Xmas and New Year. Not stressing though, I know I will soon have that under control and then on my way to reach my goal weight this year.
