    I'm eating a 200 calorie deficit this week, and then I'll go back to maintenance calories next week. I consistently ate 500 calories a day over my maintenance for a week straight... But I'm not too worried.

    That's not bad at all....I didn't count last week but...I'm pretty sure I ate close to 2500 over maintenance every day. hahaha. terrible. I do it every year though so I know I have no problem getting back to normal and won't stay off the wagon.

    I lost weight over the holidays (and my birthday) but that is because I was dx with diabetes Dec 16th, so things had to change asap!

    Just get back on plan (whatever plan it is you follow) and it will come back off pretty quick.

    Not sure about what may/may not be water, but I gained about a pound and a half (?) so I just plan to get back to eating normal, satisfying meals, having a treat or two a day and continuing to work out hard. The gym's hours for the past week or so hasn't fit my schedule quite as I like, so I was left to run outdoors/do workouts in the house. So I've still been active, just not as much as I'd like.

    I don't worry about Christmas. I was fat because I ate badly every day, not just at Christmas. Same with birthdays.

    I managed to hit almost the top of my maintenance range. I just started training for a half marathon though, so I am not planning on doing anything different than normal. Lots of water, lots of nutritious foods, staying within my calorie range. It'll come off. Although I HAVE gotten rid of most of my overly-sugary snacky foods. :) I think that's great advice, OP.

    I'm planning on cutting calories more and exercising extra until the holiday weight is gone..then go back to my normal deficit and exercise routine after that. I want this holiday weight off NOW! ha.

    I'm doing about a 300 calorie deficit until I get my holiday weight off. Then I'm going back to my habits of not keeping tempting foods around and trying to eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. I also want to set up my bike on rollers so I can get some exercise. I like to bike and walk but the weather for that is terrible right now, so rollers it is.
