    I had lost 1lb when I weighed myself on Christmas Day, but I knew it was due to not eating much & running around the shops...weighed myself this morning & I've put 3lbs on, back to my regular running this week

    Maintained. Didn't go mental with the christmas treats really. The bugger is that I wanted to put on some weight as I have some strength gains I want to make during January. Must try harder

    I gained 5lbs over my normal weight, so not bad. After all the Christmas treats I was ready to start eating lighter again before I even stepped on the scale... Maybe next year I'll incorporate some healthier treats to indulge in, lol.

    I gained 8lbs over the holidays, but I also weighed myself after a night of drinking and lack of sleep. So maybe more like 5-6lbs.

    I was surprised and happy to look back and see that even though I had multiple parties over this holiday season, looking back from Thanksgiving through New Years I'm actually down 5.8 pounds. All it took was continual logging and I tried very hard to be completely honest every day. Plus keeping up with my exercise routine really did help. I thought at the beginning of the holiday season I'd end up a little over, and really just hoped to stay even, but saying no to those extra sweets and drinks really did pay off. Feels good to start off 2018 on a good note!

    Up since Christmas but down since Thanksgiving, so it's kind of a wash.

    About 7 lbs. Surprisingly a little less than normal. I was expecting more.

    I'm up but I'm sure half of it is water from all that salty Chex mix

    I haven't weighed myself in a while but I know I put on a bit of weight. I'm doing dry January and really zeroing in on my eating though, so I'm hopeful by the end of January I'll be back on the right track!

    I'm currently in maintenance mode and while the scale bounced around a lot.. my Friday weigh-ins were always within my maintenance. So I'm happy :)

    Ugh, 2.5kg (5.5 lbs) and up 3% body fat. So bad. Back into it now and excited to see how much I can accomplish in my first week!

    About 2 pounds up in November and December. Usually gain 20 pounds over the winter, so 2 pounds in 2 out of 5 winter months is a win!
