I go back to work on Monday and back to my normal routine. Been off MFP for 3 weeks, have way overdone it on the junk food and feeling like a bloated slug. I haven't worked up the courage to get on the scale yet and see what the damage is! Anyone else nursing a Christmas / New Years diet hangover?

    I actually lost almost 2 lbs on my holiday vacation. I had been at a standstill since mid November!

    Well done! I look like I'm 6 months pregnant with a food baby.

    3lbs. Damage is actually a lot better than expected as I ate really bad... but really bad for me I guess is normal to others so yeah maybe that's why not higher. .. Most of it is alcohol I'm pretty sure!

    If anybody needs to make themselves feel better - I gained almost 13lbs.
    Go hard or go home.

    10 lbs, eating on the go is what did it, not the holiday meals...and no exercise.

    Woo!
    I'm hoping some of mine will be water weight, or something else I can use as an excuse. As long as it comes off in the next few weeks I'll be alright. :)

    I gained 1 pounds. Bit annoyed at myself but I was expecting worse. I suspect walking heaps (average 20,000 steps a day) on a week trip meant I burned most of the pastries, cakes, fast food I ate.

    My scale went up 3 lbs but it was just water retention and returned to normal (135.8) within 2 days .

    I'm all about enjoying myself on a holiday or special occasion but that doesn't mean the entire month is a holiday !

    Real weight? no. The scale went up on the 26th, but was back to normal before the new year.

    I gained 10 lbs between the stress of finals and eating horribly over the holiday. Been back on track for a week now, and down 2.5 lbs. It happens, everyone goes overboard around the holidays.

    I only ate bad on Christmas Day and then we went to a super fancy restaurant on the 27th for dinner and I splurged a little. I weighed in on Mon the 28th at +5 and was shocked..but by Saturday, that 5 was off and 2 more. Sodium gets me every time ;)

    I had a scary weight for a while but I'm back to only 1.5 pound gained since October, and I'm really happy about it, considering how much I ate!
