    None! Treated it like every other day. Not ready for those days of indulging YET.

    Didn't weigh and tbh it's not something that I particularly care about. I ate more than I intended ( OH NOES! NOT ON THANKSGIVING!) and had a good time on Thanksgiving. I noticed when I looked in the mirror this morning that I hadn't gained back the 90 lbs that I've lost, so I must not've eaten all THAT much :)

    After two big calorie days I'm up .5lb this morning. It will probably be gone tomorrow.

    I'm up 5lbs. I did a complete carb refeed, 460g total, and ate 1400 over my TDEE. It's just 1 day and it's all water weight from the carbs and sodium. No worries.

    So who weighed in this morning, and how much did you gain??

    I am up nearly a pound (.8 to be exact) but expect a full pound drop by Sunday.

    I'm down a Lb...

    You do realize that you didn't actually gain 1 Lb of fat right? You do realize that weight loss isn't linear and weight maintenance isn't static. Natural fluctuations can easily be 2-5 Lbs day to day. You probably had a bit more sodium than normal and/or more carbs than usual causing some extra water retention...or it could be your feast is still digesting and a bit of extra waste in your system...it isn't fat though.

    The scale was a lb. higher this a.m. but sometimes that happens regardless. A high calorie burning workout will probably (hopefully) take care of that.

    I'm up 1.8 pounds x.x
    Which is semi-reasonable considering I ate 4,710 calories yesterday, ouch.
    It would be nice for SOME of it to go away though, which I'm sure it will based on how I'm feeling right now - I definitely consumed lots of sodium, I feel it! >.<

    I think it is psychologically damaging to do post-festivity weigh ins. You work hard to get to the feast, you know you are going to eat a lot, and the next day you thrash your self-esteem and hard work by weighing yourself.

    Enjoy the day, enjoy the food, be thankful for the hard work you put in days prior to TG, and absolutely enjoy the day after without the psychological torture of how much, how little, etc.

    Scale says I'm up 8 pounds. Does that mean I win?

    Soooo….

    Stuff your face then weigh yourself the next morning? …because that's a really accurate number, right?

    I didn't weigh and I don't really care. Food baby is slowly disappearing.

    I weight myself every day, regardless of what I ate the day before. It's part of my maintenance strategy and I keep everything on a graph. I don't know what you mean about working hard to get to the feast, but I didn't thrash myself or feel one bit of anything this morning when I weighed myself. It's a part of my routine, like brushing my teeth. Weigh, enter data, and move on with my day.
