Yeah, I'm down about 1.5 Lbs...dehydrated from too much wine.
You don't get fat in a day people...0 -
8lbs. Now have to jump back on the wagon again. It stinks. I ate without thought for a week .oh well i know how to lose it. It 's not easy..........0

Maintained Christmas morning (after the dinner on Eve) and down .2lbs today. I expected to have gained some water weight (there's a ton of sodium in turkey and ham afterall) but I guess I kept my serving sizes small enough of the meats that I was okay.
Mind you, I still exercised both days. I actually did 11km of just hiking yesterday -- and I did a small amount of strength building too -- so that would've made a difference of course.0 -
sure did. sure did show a gain of 3 pounds. 3 pounds of food still in my system. water. sodium. and i have NO doubt it'll be gone before the weekend is over.
and LMAO @ one of the comments above where she said she sure was the grinch who counted claories on christmas. LMAO0 -
Up 4lbs from yesterday :happy:0

I am up a solid 10 pounds since December 19th. My calories have consistently been under my BMR and I have ran quite a bit. I am not going to weigh myself again until Sunday when hopefully I will have flushed most sodium and other unpleasantness from my system.
My logging is nowhere accurate but I am pretty sure I ate my weight in sodium.0 -
I weigh in daily & log my progress every Monday. Up just .8 of a pound. YAY!0
-
Gained .8 pounds. I know it was all the sodium in the Chinese food I ate but was worth every bit. Im already back on track with a great run this morning!!!0
-
Yes I was curious. Sat had xmas party then xmas eve n xmas day. Up 3 lbs. Im not stressing I know it will come back off again0
-
yep. I'm down 5 lbs from Monday. I wouldn't recommend how I lost it, though. Nasty stomach virus.
I had this yesterday. I'm down 3.2 this week.0 -

OMG .... no. Right now, I'm thinking of never weighing myself again. If I'm losing weight, I'll need new clothes. I don't need a specific number staring me in the face, mocking me or patting me on the back and thus giving permission for a little indulgence, since I've been doing so well. (Like the type who would celebrate sobriety by getting drunk.)0
-
I did. Yuck.0
-
Yep. Weighed yesterday, and weighed today. .5LBS higher today. All sitting in my stomach.
And I'll weigh again tmw and expect it to be back to "normal".0 -
I did, despite going to bed feeling really full I woke up feeling pretty light. Like I was actually lighter and holding onto less water/food. So I though what the heck and did it anyway out of curiosity.
+0.2lbs.0 -
I don't need a scale to tell me I ate too much or that if I continue to eat that much I'll have a permanent weight gain. I ate, I enjoyed.....today it's back to business as usual!0

Gained 4.85 lbs and...

Yes, I did. I usually weigh once a week, but I was anxious to see how much damage has been done. I'm up 2 lbs from Monday.0
-
Yes. I took a diet break for a week and gained 5 lbs. and it's also my TOM. I'm not concerned and am back on track today.0
-
Yep- I did! I was actually down 1.4lbs yesterday and managed to stay exactly the same today!0
-
Teehee...I did. I am up 5 lbs from last Thursday. I'm not mad though. As much as it sucks to see the higher number, I have to admit, I enjoyed it and I know deep down that I didn't actually gain all that. I logged everything and was over my sodium by well over 1000 for the past three days. Sodium and I are not kosher so I know that a majority of that 5 lbs is from that. I have also taken the entire month of December off from the gym and up to this past week hadn't gained anything (had actually gone down a pound). . Oh well... just have to get back on track0
-
Yep. 3-4 pound gain after Christmas Eve and Christmas. I always weigh in and face the music; I find it motivating.0
-
A good attitude (no make that GREAT attitude) to have is not to fret about gaining a bit if you enjoyed the day with friends and family and ate or exercised differently than usual. The past is in the past and you can simply make a commitment to get back on track with whatever plan you're on beginning today.0
-
Remembered this when I weighed this morning!Remember 3500 cals is roughly equal to 1 lb. So unless you ate 10,500 cals OVER maintenance in the last couple days, those "3 extra lbs" you gained are prolly just sodium and general fluctuation...
I gained 4lb in 2 days. I'd lost 2lb on Tuesday.. so I suppose you could say I gained 6lb. :blushing: lol
But, it's totally brushed off, I know it'll come off sooner or later and I'd rather put on and enjoy my Christmas than lose/stay the same and be regretting all the things I didn't do/eat all year!0 -
I've started to weigh myself everyday just to see what the fluctuations are. One of my friends on here weighs herself everyday; she says it keeps her accountable and helps her not to overeat because she has to step on that scale every morning.0
-
Yep - up 2lbs, but expect this was due to more fibre and water retention.0
-
I did. It wasn't pretty. Tomorrow is my "official" day though - so whatever it is tomorrow gets tracked.0
-
Yes and it's really bad. I'm done indulging and ready to get back to work.0

Did anyone weigh themselves today after Christmas ? or are you waiting until January?
Was I the only weird on to do this ? lol
How much did you gain if you did?
I just wanted to weigh myself right after Christmas so I know how much I've gained so I don't wait til January an it was my way of avoiding counting the calories . I'm still enjoying the Christmas food , only gained 1.5 lbs or 2lbs including xmas eve.
No, not today, but not because it was the day after Christmas. Most people probably did not gain any "fat weight" but probably gained plenty of "water weight" and the scale tipped due to having all that extra food in us. It will go away.
In order to actually gain one pound, you need to eat 3,500 over your TDEE, or 1,750 over to gain a half of pound. That's an awful lot of food, though I guess it can be done if your spread on the table was similar to ours......
Happy new year all! ,0 -

I had this yesterday. I'm down 3.2 this week.
Yep, it has been going around. I hope you are feeling better. I've got the cold that's been going around. Ick!0
