    I lost 2 pounds! I had all the foods I wanted and even some cherry cheese cake. I did well with the Gym on Christmas eve and the day after christmas as well.

    Well, I lost 2 pounds!!! Yippee. Think it was because I was eating back my exercise calories! (can't believe it).

    This was the quote on the board at the gym this morning. "It's not important what you eat or how much you exercise between Christmas and New Years. What is important is What you eat and how much you exercise between New Years and Christmas"

    I liked that!

    I was down 1.4

    Yes, I enjoyed my Christmas but I didn't go overboard like I normally would have. I had a little bit of everything that I *really* wanted and then that was that.

    I still have not gotten on the scale. It's been hard to get back to my normal eating routines with all this junk around me!!! :(

    I don't really know. One day I stepped on the scale and it said 98 pounds, the next it said 95 then the following it was 97, then 98...you get the picture. My weight doesn't usually swing so much, but with the combination of airplane travel, a whole lot of salty foods and alcohol, I am giving it 3 days of normal food and water intake to see what my actual weight is.

    5 pounds, but I'm already back down 2 of those. Hopefully the other 3 fall off pretty quickly. I'm super sensitive to sodium and alcohol -> lot's of retained water from all the traditional food and spirits of the holiday.

    Weighed myself today. Lost! YAY! I think the copious amounts of food on Christmas day acted as a zig-zag day or something and kick started my metabolism. I've also cut grains out for the the last few days because I felt so bloated from Christmas!

    Id say its just water weight!!

    Im glad to hear there are lots of you who gained nothing or even lost! It just proves, if you can make it through the holiday season, you can achieve anything!!

    I'm up about 3 pounds.. but I also strength trained yesterday, so that may be playing a part in it!

    Water it is today!

    do you gain weight after strength training?

    Generally yes because you're muscles are holding on to water as they repair themselves.

    how interesting - i never knew this - i strength train every day? Does that mean i will always weight more

    down 0.2lbs... hey every bit counts ;)

    Also, on Christmas eve, my gym was closed so I went to another gym and paid for a 1 day pass. I was NOT gonna miss out on that workout!

    Made for a guilt free Christmas :)
