Weighed myself on the scales of my hosts, so not sure how accurate they are. I hope they differ from my own. Because according to them I've gained very close to a full stone. After having lost 142 pounds until Christmas 2011 and maintaining my weight loss plus / minus 5 pounds for the who year, I'm really shocked and angry at this weight gain.0

Stayed exactly the same! I was surprised, I thought I had probably gained a couple of pounds.

3.6 lb weight gain since 12/12/120

Haven't had my Friday weigh in yet - but I'd managed to put 4 pounds on on the run up and 2 pounds last week - so that's 6 pounds. I'm OK with that though TBH, it's been nice to have a bit of time off from thinking about the calories and enjoying the festivities. It's tough to count the calories with so much food around and visiting family etc.
You know what though, it's better than before. Because in the past I've been a "New Year's resolution" dieter after the Christmas excess.... this time I started and started properly in August with a proper exercise and eating regime/lifestyle and I shifted 40+ pounds, so I know I can shed the 6 pounds and then get to my target weight soon enough. Best of all, because I'm nearer my target weight than I have been in previous years and have enjoyed catching up with friends and family who I haven't seen for a while telling me how well I looked, that I'm now more determined than ever to get to my target...
So - yes Christmas is a convenient excuse, but for those of you who have been successfully losing the weight up to now - look back fondly at the fun Christmas you've had, don't dwell on the numbers... the test of your metal is whether you get back into the swing of it or use the Christmas excuse for losing heart and not shifting it....here's to 2013!!
PS Of course the real trick is avoiding all of the leftover biscuits, cakes, party food, beers etc. etc. !

I've not weighed for 2 weeks as Christmas for me last 2 weeks, just weighed this morning and gained 10lbs which I must say was expected. Now back on track and back to it!!!0

+5 lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I wasn't on MFP then. Actually, the +5 lbs was a big factor in my joining MFP!0
-
I'm up 3lbs...
I basically didn't exercise for a week and a half, and ate whatever the heck I wanted, so I definitely deserve that 3lb gain! LOL
Back at it today...0 -

I refuse to get on the scale until Saturday morning....giving myself three more days to level-out and see where I am. Although I can tell that most of my gain is water weight from NYE (drinking and eating high sodium food)0

I braved the scales today, I'm 4lbs up since I last got weighed, which was 2 weeks ago. Considering I've ate like a King (or pig) had numerous takeaways, sweets, chocolate etc, squeezed my Birthday in as well as Christmas, and only went to the gym twice, I'm quite pleased, I think I convinced myself I was going to be a stone / 14 pounds heavier.
Hopefull next week I'll be at 147 pounds and can crack on. Sometimes is good to put a few lbs on to see where you went wrong.0 -
I lost 1 lb the week between Christmas and New Years which is shocking since I ate a lot (although nothing like I used to at the holidays), was drinking and since I was out of town I could not hit the gym. I joined MFP after Thanksgiving and have lost a total of 8 lbs in that time. I usually put on a few pounds, so I am so excited that I am sticking to my numbers and exercising. Felt great to get back to the gym today!0

Weighed myself this morning for the first time in 3 weeks, following 2 work Christmas functions, Christmas and a lot of wine (not to mention the emotional eating after a breakup).
Zero effect on my weight! So happy with that!!!0 -

I'm down about 6 pounds from the beginning of December. I only got serious again in October, so I'm sure I'm in the honeymoon period. Check me next year! 0

Was up 5 pounds yesterday, down one already today, so I'm hopeful the quick gain will be a quick loss.0
