Last night I had Christmas Eve dinner and ate kind of light.. had a huge piece of cheesecake though lol. My favorite!! I also walked over 11,000 steps according to my fitbit.

Anyway... I weighed myself and lost weight since the last time I weighed in. Omg! Typically people gain during the holidays and brace themselves for the caloric impact (myself included) however this year I've been only eating what I LOVE, not just eating for the sake of it being the holidays and thinking that holiday weight is okay and normal. Still had a great time and was very full, I just ate lighter during the day. I don't want to spend the entire month of January 2015 un-doing holiday damage!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

    Holidays don't have to be about rocking a buddha belly. I just cant be bothered with seeing the scale go up at all (temporary or not lol). I ate everything I wanted to while still losing the weight the next day. Best of both worlds... just because the food is there don't necessarily have to gorge yourself for the sake of the season! Just my $0.02

    I have no idea, I haven't weighed myself yet this week. Anyhow, it's actually kinda common for people to have a loss like that after indulging in treats. Sounds like you did a good job holding it together. That said, for those who gain a few pounds or a Buddha belly didn't gain 3 pounds of fat in a day. That weight will drop back off within a few days of sticking to their calorie goal.

    Considering I've lost 127 lbs, I'm not real concerned with a temporary fluctuation. I will proudly pat my Buddha belly as it was well earned and will get bigger after today.

    I already went to church today I don't need another sermon thanks

    Nope, but because of sodium from my lunch yesterday. I know I'm going to be up when I weigh Saturday morning, whether it's from food or water.

    That was my thought after a .8 pound blip this AM. :)

    I did, but I don't celebrate Xmas. I also don't rub it in the faces of other people who have decided to take a few days off to enjoy the holiday.

    I expected a gain this morning, but was down 0.5 lb. I hit my 15,000 step goal yesterday, but I also ate all the delicious things.
    My weight has been stagnant for about 2 weeks, though. This 0.5 may be the start of a 'whoosh' I'm always waiting for and that typically shows up every 2 weeks or so.

    Heck no.

    I did enjoy some sausage and egg tacos and biscuits this morning though. I'm also going to chow down on some movie food later today.

    After today, the holidays are pretty much over for me though. The family doesn't really celebrate New Years and we have beer that I can fit into my deficit at the house.
