I'm actually trying to hold off my weigh in's until Jan 1st. I find when eating my breakfast shortly after waking up, helps with those daily temptations from stressing to much. If you would like to join me, feel free. :happy:

    Yes, I do.

    My weigh in day is Saturday and as both Christmas and New Year (and my birthday!) are all on Saturdays I will be weighing in on the holiday days themselves.

    I am planning on pushing myself extra hard this week right up until Christmas Eve... Then I will just try to behave myself and stay active as I am away until that Wed.

    I do not want to let myself make excuses (Bad habit I am trying overcome) even if it is a good one.

    I will weigh in on Christmas eve and then again New Years Eve and see how bad or good I was that week.

    I'm weighing. I don't expect any losses, but I'm holding myself accountable. For me, no weigh typically = more bad choices.

    I can't weigh in! I'm going away for a week and a half, and I can't bring my Wii Fit with me! :(

    I'm hoping that without the weigh-ins to keep me on track, I'll still be okay. I am bringing my laptop, so I will be logging everything. My mother just announced to me that we'll be hitting up my favourite rib restaurant while we're away though... eep!

    I still plan to weigh in, that's my way of keeping myself from going too crazy. But I'm not going to beat myself up if there is a small gain, if nothing else it will be from the extra salt in holiday food that I don't eat on a day to day basis. I don't think I'll lose anything, but if I can maintain that will be a success for me.

    Definitely! While it may be the holidays and we all may over-indulge a little, I plan on keeping my overindulgence at just that: a little. And I plan on working out a little extra, especially since I picked up 2 new DVD's yesterday that I am really excited to add into my "mix" :happy:

    I think it's still important to enjoy yourself, family & friends, it's also important to retain all the hard work that we've all been doing and not just "let it go". I always remember a little saying my Mum used to tell me when I was little:

    "One is for Hunger, Two is for Taste, Three is for Greed"

    I may get as far as "Taste" but I won't go to "Greed" again - too much discomfort and my new smaller sized clothes won't feel or look as good :wink:

    I'm actually weighing in more over the next couple of weeks to help keep me accountable.

    I'm going to way in. My weigh-in's are on Monday's. I'm going to keep my cravings at bay and make sure that I fill up in the am's with plenty of healthy protein ...

    I've already made a vow to myself: no excess anything and no sugary stuff.

    If I don't gain any weight, I'll be happy ... but I refuse to gain again and get all discouraged.

    For me No Weigh-in's = Discouragement = Depression = Binging

    Okay. I didn't think about the possible effects if you don't weigh in.. Sometimes the suspense would get me stressed too after a while. If i can manage to keep myself under control and not weigh in that would be good..I can give it a honest try. If not, then I can weigh in and keep myself on track.

    I weigh-in on Fridays....so that works out for me because Christmas is on a Saturday. I don't plan on going over my calories, so hoping for a loss this holiday season.

    Of course, I always weigh in. Do I expect good news?

    Is your birthday Jan. 8th? If so we are birthday buddies!!

    I will keep weighing in, though if I am up a little I'm not going to stress over it... and if I am down then an extra Merry Christmas to me! haha

    I have found in the past that I get obsessed when I weigh weekly, even though it's recommended that you do so. But my weight goes up and down so much, it discourages me so I just weigh (and measure) once a month. I'll be weighing in on Jan 1 :wink:

    Absolutely! I'm a daily weigh-er.....I find it keeps me from overeating in the evenings.

    Oh yes I might add an extra weigh in during the week of Christmas. My scale helps me stay honest and do right.:bigsmile:
