SO HOW MANY OF US GAIN WEIGHT OVER CHRISTMAS?

silhouettes · January 2012

I gained 5-7 lbs on Christmas, lost all but a lb of it and gained again last night, but it's ok the holidays are over after today, back on track!!!

tmm01 · January 2012

From just before Christmas to today. I managed to stay the same weight.

Christmas Eve was really bad - mulled wine & peanuts, I was really cross with myself. So I have been really careful for the rest of the time. Kept up a good exercise regime, so that those extra calories were still within my daily limit (1200cals).

Now I want to kick start the year, so have reduced myself to 1000cas for the next month. Then I will go back to 1200. My fat content was higher than usual over Christmas, so I need to keep this in check as well.

I gained seven pounds in two weeks. Ridiculous and all my own fault.

I intended to get serious about losing weight come 1st January before Christmas anyway, now I am even more dedicated to it!

I was a greedy piggy, but no more, it is time to fight the flab, whittle away the weight, chomp away the chubbiness..... the list is endless......

:sad:

I have not weighed in yet - but fully expect an increase tomorrow (weigh in day) I feel like I have had a gain and as I was so lax its just what I deserve
so come tomorrow I am back to doing what I can to treat my body with love and consideration

casi_ann · January 2012

I lost 20 pounds leading to Christmas and gained back 3.3 pounds. But, we will all be back on target tomorrow

Britt269 · January 2012

i actually lost weight ive lost a total of 71 pounds and im still going strong i lost 3 pounds during the hoildays now back to getting on track

tamaranash · January 2012

I gained 6... I earned it.. I definitely overate, and was sick with a nasty chest cold that I couldn't exercise because of shortness of breath.. but I am accountable today and I am back to full tracking, and here is hoping I can lose it all by the end of the month and maybe more.. I know a lot of it was not drinking water, and eating salty stuff.. Hoping we all get back on track and lose some serious weight this month!!!!!!

kirstyj1 · January 2012

im so jealous i managed to gain back almost a whole stone but i was so careful...what did i do wrong? ive been told to get new scales and recheck, but its also TOM and i can gain aanything upto 7lb on it and it just goes within a few days of it ending so im hoping my gain of fat is only about 4lb and the rest is water but still its an awful lot

beckie4442 · January 2012

Me, I did, though it was only a couple of pounds I think. mostly alcohol related rather than food. Time to get back on it!:laugh:

Squir88 · January 2012

I gained about 2 pounds over the 24th and 25th, but quickly shed those 2 pounds and lost somewhere between 20-25 pounds last month.

realme56 · January 2012

Lost 4# over the last 2 weeks..... very happy holidays!

kittybitz79 · January 2012

I gained about 10 lbs over the past week... I am not sure though if it is actual gain or "the curse of eve" ... they both happened at the same time... so who exactly knows... I am hoping most of it is the later... but will know in a few days

Squible · January 2012

I only gained half a lb after eating so much rubbish from xmas eve to boxing day!

Was rather impressed with that actually esp with the amount I consumed I was preparing myself for the worst!

kegonzales · January 2012

I lost but I have an advantage (or disadvantage depending on how you look at it) I am allergic to dairy products so I can't have chocolate.

Danahimself · January 2012

I actually lost weight. : )

Sharon009 · January 2012

I lost a pound between Thanksgiving and Christmas but gained a half pound the week of Christmas. i consider that really good because for me part of enjoying the season is all the great food you get to eat.

MisterDubs303 · January 2012

I gained 10.5 pounds, but I've learned from the past, and confirmed again now, that it's mostly fake weight. I've already dropped 9 of it (Wednesday to Sunday), so I figure I had a net gain of about 1.5. Small price to pay for celebrations and living. I know how to lose that 1.5 and the rest that follow.

Thanksgiving to New Year's down 8 pounds.

jilliebk · January 2012

I maintain during the holidays!!!

Psychomasokism · January 2012

i dont even want to be near a scale!!!!!!! lol

LOL! This was me yesterday xD but I mustered up the cojones to get back on there and found I gained… 3 whole pounds back! ;_; which sucks BUT I usually gain much MUCH more between Halloween and New Years (7-10lbs. give or take). I also noticed I was better about portions and only eating what I "really" wanted (damn cookies:grumble:) so I'm taking this as a positive!! :flowerforyou:

ruthie3110 · January 2012

I'd been in hiding from the scale so when I got on a few weeks back to have lost 5lbs I was quite pleased.. I got on today...
6lbs gained *facepalm*

MiaOrange · January 2012

There was a weight-loss contest in my group and I lost several pounds. The contest lasted 7 weeks and ended right before Christmas. Afterwards, I kept exercising and eating healthy, except for some gluten-free cookies I made and a little turkey and divinity. Even at the 2 potlucks I went to I ate salad and a bite of something else. I ended up gaining several pounds and was pretty mad.

I am working to lose the weight. We had a holiday break for one week from my group's weigh in, which I use as my official weight. We will weigh in Tues and I hope I get these stupid pounds off again by then.

When I weigh-in weekly at my group and use that as my offical weight, I will log that in MFP gain or loss, but I don't log the daily fluctuations.

This happened to me last spring break camping, I lost a lot of weight and 1 week camping I ate a couple burgers and gained 6 lbs and took a long time to lose it.

I am also a student, so when I have a holiday I'm at home sitting around. When I go to school, I'm walking between buildings and climbing stairs all day...that's probably part of it, yet at home in the summer I was able to work-out more at home.

Mickyboo1 · January 2012

I maintained this week. I was happy with a maintain.. :happy:

BattyMama · January 2012

I did not gain nor did I lose any thing noticeable I however was to busy to workout as much as I would like.

pupcamper · January 2012

My weigh in day is a Wednesday but I am sooooooooooooo happy to say that this year I have lost 6lbs in the month of December, 1.5 lbs last week! Glad I was able to keep up with some exercise, albeit slightly modified and having drastically reduced the portions size of the junk I would normally stuff in my face over the holiday season I can honestly say that I don't feel I missed out on anything and I really don't miss the 6 pounds!

Mickyboo1 · January 2012

From Thanksgiving to New Years Eve I'm down 3 lbs....I'll take that as an success. :happy:

ZombieSlayer · January 2012

Didn't track December at all. I held steady... but I'm also in my "happy weight zone" (the 5 pound zone my body rebounds to when I'm not looking... except when I'm significantly over, of course.)

sprinkies · January 2012

i've been up 2-3 pounds since halloween, but i'm not worried cause once i cut out sodium/do 1400 net cals a day, it comes off in a week. i'm definitely going to clean up my diet starting NOW. the cookies are out of the house, and i'm DONE.
