    I did not gain but truthfully was pretty in control
    over the holidays because I was afraid of returning to bad habits. I hope
    I will be able to get to a point where things are less rigid but I am still in the
    infancy of this weight loss effort and do not trust myself. I applaud all
    that have such a strong resolve to get back on track-that is awesome!

    8 lbs, but I am hoping most is water weight!

    I lost 11lbs over the holidays, didn't gain anything. Although I attribute this to having all my friends and family living 1,000 miles away. No parties to go to and no one gifting me cookies. I could keep my focus on my goals without getting off track! :smile:

    Lost a few lbs.

    Didn't deviate from daily calories. Treated it like any other day.

    Even with running 5 miles most days between Thanksgiving and Christmas I'm up 5 lbs. Too much sugar around for me to resist. Back to a normal eating routine now....

    Between Christmas and now, about ten pounds. Not many inches, though, so Thank God for that.

    5 pounds up, but all the candy and cookies are gone now, and I had a nice session at the weight room this morning. I've been maintaining for a while, and I have it set in my mind to reeeally stick to my deficit now and go down another 15.

    I weighed this morning and was up 2.5 lbs since Dec. 23rd. I'm not surprised as I over-indulged during the holidays. Not to mention the lack of exercise. It really makes me mad at myself; but it's the new year and I'm ready to get it going again. I've worked too hard for the past 12 months and don't want to ruin it now.

    I haven't read all the posts, but I think I win.... I weigh 10 pounds more this morning than I did the week before Thanksgiving. I was not happy, but those pounds will come back off.

    The bad part is today's weight was a few pounds less than Monday morning.... Damn holidays....

    I thought I did a pretty good job logging all my foods over the holiday, eating well below my calorie allotment on the day before Christmas so I could indulge more on the day of the big feast, but I gained just over 2 lbs anyway. The difference? I believe it was two things: 1. more restaurant food = more sodium, and 2. I was still eating at TDEE-20% but getting almost no exercise. Fortunately I'm almost back to where I was before I gained, so I can start seeing more downward progress again.

    Gained 2.5 lb with no food tracking over most of December, and letting myself eat whatever I wanted.
    Not good, but not too bad. Time to kick the nutrition portion into gear and drop some pounds.

    I've put on just under 4 lbs...as of this morning (I did eat food with high sodium yesterday) and weigh in is tomorrow, so we will see. But I'm happy it wasn't a lot more because it sure could have been with all the food that was available between Christmas and New Year's.

    I'm getting myself back on track starting today!

    2.6 lbs here, but I've lost the 2 already (I think it was mostly water weight from all the salt) and I'm sure I'll be back on track by my next weigh-in day (the 7th). I hope to be back at the weight I was before xmas by then or maybe even .2 or .4 below. That would be nice! I don't feel so bad about it, I don't think I overindulged too much and I enjoyed myself.

    No gains!

    Technically I have lost weight since Christmas, but that has more to do with weight fluctuations than anything.

    I fluctuated a lot from Thanksgiving to New Year's but overall a two pounds gain. I'm pleasantly surprised considering the level of my overindulgences.

    0.6 kg (1lb) so I'm dead chuffed - I thought it would be much higher... course it could still catch up on me
