    I gained 7lbs in December and the 1st week of January. I completely overindulged.
    Chocolate, cheese and alcohol.

    I lost five pounds but that's because I had a root canal two weeks before Christmas and the second appointment to finish it up on Christmas eve morning! It wasn't self control on my part, my mouth hurt and I couldn't eat on that side so it made eating difficult. Turned out to be a good holiday strategy though! Lol

    I was terrible over Christmas. Ate way too much and didn't exercise a single time. Was petrified to step on the scale as I hadn't weighed since before the holidays. To my vast surprise I have only gained 1 lb. So I am very happy with that. I figured it would be up be at least 5 lbs if not more. So now I am back to it and am feeling very motivated.

    I went off MFP before thanksgiving (ahhhh!) and throughout the two months was terrified to weigh myself - however I swallowed my fear and weighed January 6. I had gained 6 pounds - 5 of which are GONE after water, logging and sweating! Woohoo!

    I gained about 6 lbs but have already lost 2. I was off from work for 14 days and even though I exercised every day, I was putting in too many "bad" calories. I'm not at all frustrated, I actually enjoy the challenge to lose the extra lbs.

    I had a 10 pound gain over the Christmas - New Years time frame which also includes my birthday.
    Booze! Bread! Candy!

    But, now booze, bread, candy - in small portions again and I'm down 3 pounds this week.

    I was at my maintain weight area and had plans to meet the New Year at my maintain weight range for the first time I can remember. I was looking forward to not having one of my New Year's resolutions to be to lose weight but to maintain it. Then life happened and I lost my second job of the year in November, (currently unemployed), I was having some foot and knee issues, I got sick for 2 weeks, Holidays, feeling depressed and boredom...not a good combo!.....gained 7 pds in about 1 1/2 months! I'm working on getting back on track....

    I gained 8 pounds! But I was actually eating as much chocolate and junk food that I wanted so it would be easier for me to give all that up for the new year. I was also drinking beer and those calories add up real fast. Haven't touched anything unhealthy yet. : )

    As of this morning, I have not only eliminated the Xmas gain, I have lost all the weight I should have lost as well.

    Right back on schedule.

    Well, I didn't expect this much response to the thread when I started it!

    Great to see that everyone is really motivated to get those extra pounds back off again, and many people already well on their way to doing it, if not already done.

    I'm already done - am now 2lbs less than me pre-christmas weigh-in! go me!! :laugh:

    I basically ate through all of December like the world was ending, so when I weighed in after New Year I'd put on 5lb - I've had a bit of a struggle since coming back from hols in September though, so I'd already gone up by 5lb before the festive blowout! All in, I started the new year 10lb heavier than I was before I went on my hols in September :(

    Been back on it properly logging and exercising for a week and so far 3lb have come off - don't think the rest will come off so easily though! All in, I want to lose a further 1.5 stone this year to *finally* reach my goal weight

    How's everyone getting on shedding those Xmas extra pounds?

    I'm at 3lbs LESS than my pre-christmas weigh-in, and back to a near-ideal maintenance weight.

    Still got a couple of pounds of wobbly stuff on my belly - that's this year's problem to fix... find that six-pack! - need to get into some excerise and get toned up, as don't especially want to lose very much more actual weight, as I end up with a very thin face and people say I look ill!

    Any ideas on that one much appreciated.
