Anyone plan to weigh in during the holidays?

I'm actually trying to hold off my weigh in's until Jan 1st. I find when eating my breakfast shortly after waking up, helps with those daily temptations from stressing to much. If you would like to join me, feel free. :happy:

Yes, I do.
My weigh in day is Saturday and as both Christmas and New Year (and my birthday!) are all on Saturdays I will be weighing in on the holiday days themselves.0 -
I am planning on pushing myself extra hard this week right up until Christmas Eve... Then I will just try to behave myself and stay active as I am away until that Wed.
I do not want to let myself make excuses (Bad habit I am trying overcome) even if it is a good one.
I will weigh in on Christmas eve and then again New Years Eve and see how bad or good I was that week.0 -
I'm weighing. I don't expect any losses, but I'm holding myself accountable. For me, no weigh typically = more bad choices.0

I can't weigh in! I'm going away for a week and a half, and I can't bring my Wii Fit with me!
I'm hoping that without the weigh-ins to keep me on track, I'll still be okay. I am bringing my laptop, so I will be logging everything. My mother just announced to me that we'll be hitting up my favourite rib restaurant while we're away though... eep!0 -
I still plan to weigh in, that's my way of keeping myself from going too crazy. But I'm not going to beat myself up if there is a small gain, if nothing else it will be from the extra salt in holiday food that I don't eat on a day to day basis. I don't think I'll lose anything, but if I can maintain that will be a success for me.0

Definitely! While it may be the holidays and we all may over-indulge a little, I plan on keeping my overindulgence at just that: a little. And I plan on working out a little extra, especially since I picked up 2 new DVD's yesterday that I am really excited to add into my "mix" :happy:
I think it's still important to enjoy yourself, family & friends, it's also important to retain all the hard work that we've all been doing and not just "let it go". I always remember a little saying my Mum used to tell me when I was little:
"One is for Hunger, Two is for Taste, Three is for Greed"
I may get as far as "Taste" but I won't go to "Greed" again - too much discomfort and my new smaller sized clothes won't feel or look as good

I'm actually weighing in more over the next couple of weeks to help keep me accountable.0

I'm going to way in. My weigh-in's are on Monday's. I'm going to keep my cravings at bay and make sure that I fill up in the am's with plenty of healthy protein ...
I've already made a vow to myself: no excess anything and no sugary stuff.
If I don't gain any weight, I'll be happy ... but I refuse to gain again and get all discouraged.
For me No Weigh-in's = Discouragement = Depression = Binging0 -
I'm going to weigh- in...otherwise I won't cheat and eat junk!0
-
I am going to weigh in. I plan on sticking to my new dietary habits through out the whole season. hopefully!
Merry Christmas to all!0 -
Okay. I didn't think about the possible effects if you don't weigh in.. Sometimes the suspense would get me stressed too after a while. If i can manage to keep myself under control and not weigh in that would be good..I can give it a honest try. If not, then I can weigh in and keep myself on track.0

Every Wednesday for me....no excuses for me this time! (Hoping it will keep me on track haha)0
-
i am going away for the holidays (leaving this tuesday, 21st, to go to NJ for a week) so i wont be able to weigh myself, but i am going to try and portion everything and not go all crazy... i also think i am going to bring one of my workout DVD's with me, that way i can exercise a little. if i don't gain, i will be happy

I weigh-in on Fridays....so that works out for me because Christmas is on a Saturday. I don't plan on going over my calories, so hoping for a loss this holiday season.0
-
Of course, I always weigh in. Do I expect good news?0
-
Yes, I do.
My weigh in day is Saturday and as both Christmas and New Year (and my birthday!) are all on Saturdays I will be weighing in on the holiday days themselves.
Is your birthday Jan. 8th? If so we are birthday buddies!!
I will keep weighing in, though if I am up a little I'm not going to stress over it... and if I am down then an extra Merry Christmas to me! haha0 -
I have found in the past that I get obsessed when I weigh weekly, even though it's recommended that you do so. But my weight goes up and down so much, it discourages me so I just weigh (and measure) once a month. I'll be weighing in on Jan 1 0
-
you betcha i am and i will lose weight too :")0
-
Absolutely! I'm a daily weigh-er.....I find it keeps me from overeating in the evenings.0
-
Oh yes I might add an extra weigh in during the week of Christmas. My scale helps me stay honest and do right.:bigsmile:0

me too0 -
i'm doing insanity and what's so funnyis that i even have a fit test on christmas lolz!0

I will be weighing in and doing portion control. I will also be exercising 5 -6 days a week 1 -1 1/2 hrs per day. This is a lifestyle change I am committed to not a fad diet. I am determined to lose 45 -50 pounds and keep it off. It sounds like the majority here is also committed and dedicated to their health. That's why MFP works. Have a Merry Christmas! 0

I had flan last night. It was great. I weighed in this morning before my workout. I burned 734 calories. I plan to weigh in each morning as I always have. Keeps me on track.0
-
I will weigh in and still track all throughout the holidays. Just because its that time of year again doesn't mean I will stray!!!0
-
I will probably try to track and weigh in but i'm probably going to allow myself to eat what I want and enjoy myself over the holidays!!0
-
I'm weighing in EVERY Monday morning as usual!0

I am doing the exact same thing. I am travelling to my Mom's who is four hours away. I have already asked her to have a lot of raw vegetables on hand and I offered to wash, cut and store them for her. At least I will have options if I feel like I overdid it.0 -
I'll be weighing for the holidays for sure. I have to admit that I have it easy. We have not family in the area, so I have almost total control over the food situation. If I feel things are not going well, I will add a work out to the day. For me working out is the key.0
-
Yes. I'm going to do everything the same. By not keeping track, you'll just end up in shock on Jan 1st.0
