Is anyone still working on getting rid of their holiday weight?

I was hoping to be back down to my pre holiday weight by today but just weighed and I’ve got 1.6 lbs to go. Darn Christmas cookies!

    I had been maintaining going in to the holidays and I'm ready to be back to trying to lose again.

    Weight is where it was before the holidays, but I didn't do overmuch (eating-wise) except on Christmas day and another day or two here or there.

    I kind of quit trying around the holidays and put back on about 2lbs. Which I suppose is well within a maintenance range. But now that there's fewer christmas cookies to sample (they were worth it BTW) , I'm back on it. I'm going to try to get that last 10-15 off to reach my goal weight.

    As of this morning, I am only half a pound over my pre-holiday weight. I'm really quite surprised. I thought I over-indulged more than that.

    working on 10 Lbs to get back to my normal maintenance weight...most of that wasn't the holidays though...I put most of that on Sept through Nov as I was kinda busted up for a few months after a surfing accident and couldn't exercise as much as I usually do. I only put on 2-3 Lbs Thanksgiving through New Year.

    I thought I was a up a couple but I've been sick and my routine is all off and I've honestly no idea what's going on. My weight loss graph is janky af.

    I am 1.2 pounds below my holiday weight as of this morning! You can do it!

    I had gained 6 pounds but I’m sure it was mostly water weight.

    Yup, still working on it - I aim for .5/week and so it is slow going. Happy Scale says I am on the right track.

    I gained about 1.5 pounds during the holidays, but as of today I am back on track. I don't regret the Christmas cookies one bit.

    Down 3.2 lbs from pre holiday weight. I maintained over the holidays. Now only 78 lbs more to reach final goal :D

    Heck I'm still working on last year's Holiday weight.

    You'n'me both. :drinker:

    I'm nominally down about 7 pounds from my highest right-after-Christmas (this year ;) ) number, but that gain was pretty much all water weight and digestive contents - a pound real, maybe.

    Right now, my range is running about where it was mid-November, before birthday/US Thanksgiving/Christmas/Year this year. Current plan: Small deficit, persistence.

    I didn't gain any over the holidays...so no. I feel too guilty and my tummy gets upset if I overdo it on treats/big meals
