    I'm sure I didn't gain any fat, but more than likely I've gained some water weight. It's a bit silly to check, isn't it?

    I gained a couple of pounds. But that is okay. I totally enjoyed the weekend and it was two days instead of two weeks. I am back on track today and that couple of pounds will be history in another week or two. No guilt!

    I couldn't agree more!! I did weigh myself this morning and I gained 1.4kg (3lb) but yep, I want to LIVE my life, not sit and sulk about what I can't eat for 2 days. I had 2 days off, and I am now back to tracking, exercising and focusing and I am happy with that!

    Sure, it's easy to put on and hard to take off, but I am prepared for it and knew what the outcome would be before I made my decision to relax over the past 2 days and enjoy my Christmas with my family.

    I'm not weighing till a week after new year. I have undoubtedly gained, but I doubt too much. Realistically, it's incredibly unlikely any of you have gained several pounds in a weekend. If you've weighed in this morning and it's showing a very significant gain, that's obviously water weight, not 'real' weight. Eat healthy, drink water, and most of that will go. Even allowing for the possibility of total Christmas gluttony, you'd have had to eaten 3000 cals above your daily maintenance allowance each day of the weekend to gain more than a pound.

    Relax. It happens once a year. It's part of life. Enjoy it, then shake the dust off, and get back to work.

    So far...So good. Scale went up a little over a pound but I did have ham for dinner Sunday and at Fridays party at work. I won't look again for a couple of days. I know I am bloated something bad. I KNOW I did not gain in my ankles!

    I must have gained a couple of pounds, but it was planned and it won't be a shock at all. :smile:

    The idea was that I'd get a few pounds below my target weight for Christmas but there wasn't time. It will be my strategy for next year though.

    Didnt gain anything :) I dont get people who diet and then just go "lax" for the weekend... I enjoyed myself, ate healthy and even indulged in a piece of pumpkin pie... I continued to exercise and so far so good :) now got to get through new years! ;)

    I gained a pound, but I am sure it is water weight. I am back on track and ready to reach my final goal. Good luck with your continued weight loss journey.

    I only gained 0.3 pounds. Considering how easily 0.3 pounds can be lost, I was pleased!
