    I gained 8lb in December, meh, most of it is probably water weight as my long runs are all in double figures, I switched up my lifting routine so I'm lifting a little heavier and I've eaten a lot of rubbish, carb heavy food. Getting the eating under control this week then got an intensive week with my PT following a strict eating plan, will probably have dropped most of it within 10days.

    I gained 1 lb in December. I worked out until Dec. 24th but I was lazy while on vacation. Not too much damage considering how many sweets I ate during Christmas week.

    Looks like I gained 3pds from christmas to today. I am disappointed in not being able to limit the desserts/bedtime snack and wine more (i was "careful" but still overate). I don't do well at self control over time and while I ate properly 75% of each day, the last %25 of most days was a big fail.

    Will have to figure out a plan for next year.

    having said that, i'm not dwelling of feeling too sorry for myself. it is what it is. the key is to fall back into a good routine again today. and tomorrow. and the day after tomorrow....

    About 3 Lbs from Thanksgiving through New Years. Not bad considering we had lots of yummy things and exercise was pretty irregular and some weeks non-existent.

    I didn't gain anything, but I didn't lose either. To be fair, I haven't been trying that hard yet. Just not in the right mindset yet. I've just been trying to move a little more and implement some healthier meals.

    Went down by 2kg during December. Gained muscles and therefore lost even more fat in the festive period.

    Went training in the gym with my boyfriend both first and second day of Christmas to a beautiful nordic sunrise.

    Wonderful feeling!

    Today was my weigh in day, up one pound. I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine and there being a few less treats around.

    Well, after only 5 days back on plan, all 7lbs I gained have gone away. I knew it would be almost all water weight since I was on a high sodium, carb fest for a full week. I guess now I can get back to losing some actual fat.

    Thought for sure I would have gained something, I even went on vacation and ate at buffets everyday and had four bowls of ice cream every night lol (not to forget all the Christmas cookies!). Came home got the flu for a week and well I guess things balanced out. Glad I ate as much as I did now!

    Up 8lbs here as an arthritis flare last week of November meant no exercise in all December plus I really cut loose with my eating. Disappointed in myself but back on it now and starting gentle exercise again.

    What I gained over the holidays...

    Rest
    Exercise
    And a little bit of sanity. :)

    So I weighed in after the holiday season today ... and I've gained 300 grams. :)

    After an incredibly stressful and busy year, I was able to take 2 weeks off. We travelled, we ate, we slept and rested, and we exercised.

    Turns out that was a good combination. :)

    I gained 14.6(!!!!!!!!?!!) pounds in 10 days, the majority of which days I ate at my normal deficit.

    I've lost like 7.2 in the last 2 days. I hate the scale sometimes.

    Here's hoping for another multipound overnight loss of water weight tonight!
