Christmas Weight Gain?

GemmaRowlands

So glad to hear most of you didn't gain much, or have already lost some that you did gain! I was determined not to gain much because it takes me a little longer to lose the pounds these days, but luckily I only gained a little and am already back to my pre Christmas weight! Everything's good :-).

Over 9 days from Xmas Day to New Years I put on 7.5 pounds. Having a NY Eve Chinese takeaway didn't help. I have lost 7 pounds of it so far so hoping to lose all of it by tomorrow.

And I'm back to where I was 2 weeks before Christmas, so I'm really pleased, I've not even tried that hard! i'm back on it now to get to my goal weight, been under cals all week (yes I know it's only Monday!) and have not been tempted by anything sweet or high carb. Just changed my drink from coffee (caf in the morning then decaf all day) to green tea in the morning and camomile tea all day. It feels strangely fresher and I'm liking it.

Hello!

Not sure if there's already a topic like this, so apologies if there is. Just thought we could all share how much weight we'd gained over Christmas!

I was naughty for two weeks, and when I stepped on the scales yesterday it said that I'd gained 3lbs. I had a really healthy day and some exercise, and this morning it said that two of those pounds have now gone. So I'm happy with that as it was obviously mostly water retention.

How about you? What's the damage?

So I actually went of track in October 2011 and am struggling to get back on track. I've gained 14 lbs of the 30 I lost last year =( It's so hard to get back on track once you've gone off. Any tips???? My main problem is snacking at work. Sometimes I just feel hungry and I eat eat eat =(. So frustrated. I'm not giving up though. I will lose those 14 lbs.

I put 2 lbs on but I only really misbehaved for the 3 days over Christmas and again on new years eve/day. I managed to lose that in the first week of January and lost another 2lbs last week! I'm weighing myself again on Wednesday and I'm hoping to have lost another 2 lbs this week.

Got rid of the 7.5 pounds from Xmas/NY and also down another 4.5 last week. I upped my exercise last week and did 23km/14.5 miles of walking and 250km/155 miles on the exercise bike. I am going to try and do the same this week as see what happens.

I gained 4 lbs even though I was under my cals. Weirdly. I did drink a lot.

I would expect I am back down to where I was, if not under now.

Well done to everyone who's managed to lose their Christmas podge, and good luck to those who haven't yet!

I am now two pounds lighter than I was before Christmas, possibly with a little bit more to be confirmed tomorrow morning when I weigh myself.
