I tripped, back into it starting yesterday0

Not flat on my face, just dragging my heels a little. No worries y'all. Just hop back on!0

December has been pretty good for me. I didn't fall off the wagon as such, I had 2 days planned that I was allowing myself to go over. The rest of the time I have been tracking rather well. Even though I had those days off, I didn't eat anywhere near as much as I usually would at Christmas. So no not really.0

Complete train wreck here, never mind a wagon!!! Back on keeping on keeping on today. :O)0

I also allowed myself the same days off but i've got to say, i've never been so happy to be logging again today. 3 days of eating what i want has left me feeling so sluggish and tired, i couldn't possibly take another day of it lol. Saying that though, it's 11am here and by probs around 4pm onwards i'll be feeling nice and empty again compared to the past 3 days and i'll be wanting to raid the christmas food again haha. I'm going out on NYE though so i have to be good now, don't want to look like a bloated beached whale haha.More like stepped off! I planned not to log for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Trying to get back on the wagon from today. Seems like a lobg way to step up though!0 -
I did
I chose to take a couple of weeks off over the festive period and I gained 2lbs ....not too unhappy with that compared to last years greedfest I took part in lol .....back to the cup a soups and ryvitas again now

Yep - not only did I fall off the wagon, I fell off, killed said wagon, dragged it into the woods and ate it. Along with all of the yummy festive food it contained.
However, I'm a firm believer that it's not what you do it's how you react to it. It's done and what I do now is what counts which means putting my running shoes back on and burning off what I can
Good luck to all of you like me, that are getting back on track BEFORE the new year rather than riding it for as long as possible xx0 -
Definitely! I succumbed to all the luxuries of the holidays! Ready to get back on it now though and make up for it 0
-
Good luck to you as well, i know a few people that are waiting untill after the new year to start again but personally i couldn't do that, if i was to allow myself to carry on till then i could easily gain about 8lbs no joke so for me it's all about damage limitation, i'll be allowing myself new years day off cause we have a big family mea together but untill then, 5 good days of logging can make such a better difference than 5 days of not logging lol.Yep - not only did I fall off the wagon, I fell off, killed said wagon, dragged it into the woods and ate it.

If anything, I took this month even more seriously. On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I could be found in the gym. Not sure where I got the motivation from, but I'm glad it hit me. I don't see myself stopping either. 0

Yes, fell off the wagon completely! It's the snacks at work that are the worst. My willpower is not very strong. It will get better! ALSO, I may have gained a couple pounds back, but I won't gain them all back! I'll enjoy the snacks as long as they last, and get back into healthier habits again soon!0

I'm eatin a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in bed.
Sorry thighs
(I bet ill be able to lift pretty damn heavy tomorrow morning though!!)0 -
I actually was very disciplined...but that's just my personality...when I set my mind to something, for the most part, I will stay the course. I guess I look at it this way...nine months ago I decided to make a lifestyle change and be committed to losing weight. In those nine months, I've lost 59 lbs and I don't want to go back to the size 22W's! I like picking up a size 12 and being able to actually put them on and they fit properly and plus I still haven't reached my goal so I'm not trying to go backwards!!! LOL....so I guess that is what motivated during Thanksgiving and Christmas to stay the course, eat a few things that I normally wouldn't eat, log EVERYTHING and stick with exercising and I feel great about it, I haven't been over my daily calorie allowances and don't feel as though I need to get "back" on course! I wish all of you a FANTASTIC 2013 and continued success in meeting your goals!0

Oh my goodness, yes! Someone on this site profoundly hurt my feelings in November, I deleted my account, and things have not gone well since.
Don't ever let anyone stop you from doing something! Don't give them that power. Some people have to cut down others in order to make themselves feel valuable or relevant.0 -
Ive struggled the whole year0
-
Yes, I definitely did that. The important thing is that we are back and ready to hunker down to finish what we started.0
-
I totally fell off the wagon and have no regrets, I wanted to enjoy my holidays with my family free of worry. I think I gained about 5 pounds and now I am ready to get back on the wagon. It's nice to know there are others out there who have fallen off the wagon too.0
-
I will assume that was what ran over me several times a day....ugh...0

I haven't worked out (though I have had some very active days) since the first week in December, and my eating has been atrocious. I'm dreading stepping on the scales. Going to use the New Year as a new beginning, though. I get paid again on January 4th, and I'm planning to go to Whole Foods and stock up on some good, healthy foods and I'm planning a monster workout for New Year's Day.
Edit to add: That is not to say that I don't have plans to get back on track in the mean time, though. Never a good idea to put off until tomorrow what you can do today.0 -

November must start the Season of Nastiness.0 -
Hey , try to think of them with smelly breath , in a string vest and scratching their bottom, this should be enough to make you laugh at least ! xx
I really did well over 2011 , okay this year until December when all my old habits gradually resurfaced. I weighed this morning and cried. i am feeling better now and am putting my "plan " in place and could really do with just a person to talk to occasionally .
I am glad you are back and WELCOME x0 -
There is no wagon. Beginning now, do the things that you know you should do to regain your health.
Definitely like this - thanks 0 -
yes, but I weighed myself this morning. Not horrible, I am up about 10 lbs. since my low this summer & 7 lbs. above my BMI. But today is a new day. Thanks for posting, I need the motivation.0

I can honestly say I didn't fall off but maybe went to the edge a few times. I maintained my workouts and even increased it by doing a few double workout days with yoga and CrossFit. I tried not to feel too guilty about indulging in my favorite part of the holidays (Work Christmas Party, Friend's Christmas gatherings) which, of course, the food but I did notice that retaining water due to the increase in sodium made me gain 2-3 lbs but quickly lost when I drank more water and exercised. After the New Year's, I will be working really hard to lose the last 15 lbs for my goal.0

I gave up and jumped off the ledge and hit rock bottom the middle of Novemeber... The fella I was dating for 3 years that I thought I was going to marry and I broke up... I'm devistated... We officially broke up on christmas...0
-
I've been logging in, and posting some foods. Usually by the end of the day, I just make up an astronomical number for quick add calories and finish the day. I'm determined to get back on track ASAP. I like how losing weight feels and this holiday interruption won't slow me down. Good luck everyone!0

You ROCK!!!!!!!... (laffing) I too found my way to the gym & mostly had it to myself Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Shared an hour of it with that guy I'm totally crushing over because he sings with his earbuds in too.
I try not to eat it if I'm not going to burn it!!0 -
Yep, it's been a bit of a bad week. On the upside, I stepped back on the scale this morning, assessed the damage, and felt ready to move past it. During the days I overate this week, I was aware of how ungood it felt to be overfull, so I'm keeping that in my foreground as I hit my reset button today. :-) Good luck everyone - we can do this!0

Hahaha, fall off the wagon? I fell off the train and it has been a wild ride since. Cookies, candy, pie, ice cream- what was I thinking? Oh yeah, I had to compare neighbors chocolate chip cookies to MIL's. (neighbor's was better). I felt ill at work today my pants were so tight. The Christmas pictures I won't even post to my family with the big moon face and double chins.
But, do I regret it? Not a bit. Okay I put on maybe 5 pounds but it was worth the family and friends time. Now onward to 2013!
haha this is exactly how i feel0 -
I definitely let myself go. Probably going to delay my workout goals a month or so, but given the holidays I don't mind.0
