    Awesome comments. I was like I gained 10 lbs in a month. No way. Been running 12 of last 14 days and now working some weights in. Patience is the key. Lost 55lbs last year! 30 more to go ! Let’s do it people! Just don’t crash diet and over do it the 1st month!

    Bumping this excellent thread! I've gained about 7lbs in the last 2 weeks. Cringing a bit about everything I've eaten and drunk but hoping that when the dust settles things won't look quite so bad! Patience and perspective x

    Thanks for the post but I somehow gained 2kg. Not that hard for me to gain :(

    It wasn't just the holidays that pushed me over the edge. It was stress eating that started back in maybe Sept.? So imagine if you can, how many pounds you can add onto your body in 3+ months.
    But 2 days before New Year's Day, we ran out of all our holiday leftovers and that's when I started. Again. Back to eating healthier, counting calories, working up to walking more on the treadmill. I have 20# to lose and I know I can do it; just gotta keep my head in the game. It $u@ks when you're wearing a very loose size 8, then whiz through your 10's and start wearing your 12's again. I guess it was smart of me to hang onto some of those JIC. :(

    I have a very big goal, a great reason to lose those 20#. I live in New England and plan on visiting my dd who lives in Seattle, in May. So anyways, I'm hoping to feel better in my own skin and maybe even buy some new clothes for the trip. Something to shoot for.

    Good luck everyone!! Never say never and don't give it! Only YOU can make it happen!!

    Brilliant post
    I put on 7lbs over the Christmas period from eating and drinking ALL of it 😳
    I got back on plan 4 days ago and weighed in just now and 6lbs are gone 😁
    I hope to shift the extra pound by the end of the week.
    Happy New Year!

    I noticed my feet swelling last week and the chemist gave me celery supplements to help. I think it was the heat but cannot be sure. I love the way you put this into perspective for me.
