    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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*

    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.

    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!

    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.)

    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.

    Do you all log your weight gain or wait til it comes off and then log when you go down a pound.
    I log in so I can see my up and down on progress report,, I gained once, by 1 pound a while ago
