    Enjoying your family is always first. Gaining a pound over the holidays is normal. But as you stated, back at it now and it will come off in a day or two. I gained one pound and expect it to be gone by the next weigh in. I only weigh once or twice a week so if the day hadn't been my normal weigh in day I probably would have never known I gained a pound. Happy New Year to all and enjoy those non-aloholic, low cal drinks. Do you know that champagne is only 74 calories? Great way to toast the New Year and still stay on track.

    Oddly enough I lived on a steady diet of chocolate and cookies for 2 days and lost 1 lb! I think it's all the long runs for the marathon I'm doing in less than 2 weeks though. I would never eat like that if I wasn't working out super hard too.

    Now back to normal....my body needs it. All that junk left me feeling so gross!

    I'll weigh in on Thursday. I did not go hog wild on Christmas day - ended up eating just over 1800 calories.

    I don't know what I gained on Christmas, but in the past month I have gained 10lbs. That's why I'm here!

    I can't believe I gained three pounds after one buffet meal. I doubled up on exercise the same day and only went over my day's total by 300 some calories. Sigh...

    I'm not even bothering weighing myself for a few days. I'm sure I'm retaining weight, but I doubt it's fat. Though MFP did tell me if I ate like that every day I'd gain two pounds in five weeks. Hahaha. I'm not worried though. Anything I gained is likely water weight. We're expecting warmer weather in the next few days, so I'm probably gonna start running then again.

    I lost 2 lbs. *vegan happy dance* :happy:

    We did the family holiday stuff the weekend before xmas. I don't eat most of what is there.

    I didn't make any cookies for Buddha Claus, so that also helped.

    I don't know why people are torturing themselves with this. How much you gain over a couple of days is really irrelevant because it is depending on a lot of things - when do you weigh yourself, how much sodium did you ingest etc.

    Look at the long term calorie intake. These instant gratifications or penalties are really useless in the grand scheme of things. Look at the whole picture. This program is called my FITnesspal - think about it - there is a whole lot more to fitness than weight loss.

    I lost 2 lbs as i nibbled on a few brunch things and managed to stay within my calorie goals and only a bit over on sodium... Im in a lifestyle change so why change that for a holiday? I enjoyed myself and didnt feel guilty or bloated afterwards!
    Bring on the New Year!!

    I'm not weighing myself until January 2nd. I never weigh myself on the weekends and I want to give myself this week to get back on track and drop any lingering water weight. I don't doubt I've gained a few lbs (I had the trifecta of Thanksgiving, my 40th, and Christmas) but that's okay. I had a good time and now I'm getting back to normal.

    3.6lbs but I've been trying to gain and really it's too soon to tell what is a real gain and what is water.

    Glad to have read this post! I made the big mistake of weighing myself after working out the other day and was down 1.8 pounds, and now I've gained that back and then some...it might be water weight. Must get out of guilt trip and pick myself up again tomorrow! Thanks for the unintentional support, guys!
