    I've gained about 8 lbs. over the last month. It's been busy and I'm not proud, but it was fun while it lasted! :bigsmile:

    Getting ready to start an exercise challenge in January, so that will start the scale moving again. Hoping to hit my goal of 100# in 2013!!

    Hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year!! :drinker:

    1.5 lb gain from the beginning of December to now. We took a 2 week beach vacation early December and I wasn't logging during that time. I'm happy with that!

    Two pounds, which makes no sense because I only ate more than usual one day and it wasn't that extreme. I'm thinking it may be some other kind of change, water, etc. Time will tell.

    Only lost about a half a pound. Still 5 lbs short of my New Years goal. Yikes. I only hope the scale here where I'm staying with my fiance's family is a little off so I see a loss on sunday after I get home.

    I actually "got serious" about losing weight after Thanksgiving. Determined NOT to fall into the holiday rut, I challenged myself to lose as much as possible until Christmas, then enjoy Christmas, then back to it. Well, I didn't succumb to the lounge Christmas treats, didn't eat off every cookie tray brought into the workplace, and didn't feel like I had to EAT at every holiday function I attended. The result? I lost 7lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. I even bought two pairs of jeans one size smaller off the rack without even trying them on! Then I ate whatever i felt like 24, 25, and 26. Starting yesterday, I am back on MFP, tracking, and staying with my calorie guideline. I will eventually start exercising once it warms above freezing. I am not weighing until school starts back on the 7th so my body has time to adjust, but I am determined to make this work.

    I've maintained, thankfully. I have been pretty aware of what I've been eating, and knew that I would eat more on a couple of days, so I made sure to stay on track every other day.

    5lbs up (yesterday) over Christmas eve and Christmas Day. I know it's from too much sodium, not enough water, and dairy (I took Lactaid both nights so that I could enjoy the meal, and although I don't get a stomach ache when I take it, I get...uhhhh.."backed up")

    so now that i'm back to my normal eating it should go back pretty quick, i was already back down 1lb this morning

    Gained 5lb over the Christmas week. I don't think Christmas did nearly as much damage as Apocalypse Eve -- five slices of pizza, two Jagerbomb, half a beer and an unknown amount of tequila and raspberry lemonade by the time I knocked out. Everything just kinda spiralled out of control from there. u//0//u

    5 pounds, but it left as quickly as it came and now I'm down a pound more than before- must have been mostly water from all the salty food.

    About 15 lbs in about week. I'm a little shocked even though I shouldn't be with all the junk food I ate and the alcohol I drank. Oh well, back to square one. I started getting back on track a couple days ago but slipped. Today was a better day. :3

    I don't know how it happened but I went into the holiday week (21-28) weighing 174-ish and am down to 168. I've felt as though I've eaten a lot of fatty and sugary things (we made a bunch of candy on the 20th or 21st) but somehow the number just keeps going down :)

    Stayed the same, bar a 1cm loss in my waist. WTF?
    I knew it would happen but secretly hoped Santa would do me a solid and take some extra for Xmas.

    Don't know yet but with all that I've been eating, I wouldn't be surprised if its5 or more. Promised myself I wouldntstress it thought, so I refuse to, I know I'll be back on track when I return to my regularly scheduled life in a few days.
