How much did you gain this Christmas???

thelovelyLIZ · December 2011

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.

hmm... don't know yet! my weigh in is every saturday... so whatever i ate yesterday won't reflect til my next weigh in... hope is not that bad since we have so much leftover...

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. I just slid by.

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.

I win, i have gained ten and a half pounds since Thursday!!!!!! I went to maintenance and have gone over by around 2000 calories total in the five days, back to the gym and water for me! To be honest I expected this as i always have huge gains when i relax

Rae6503 · December 2011

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.

aklitten · December 2011

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!

i haven't jumped on the scale since december 1st, and i'm not planning on jumping on one until january 2nd.

catcufflings · December 2011

i feel like i've gained at least 5kilos lol

i still feel full from 2 days ago!

katekrise · December 2011

After finals, a vacation in Florida and then Christmas...I weighed 7.5 lbs. heavier lol. Oh well. Worth it! I'm sure it'll come right back off pretty fast

Indulge and treat yourself! It's ok. It's pretty easy to lose what you've gained.

I lost 0.6 lbs. I had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (12 hour night shift.) I had a great calorie burn this morning. Feels great.

Don't know. Don't really care! Probably because I'm still stuffing my face. :drinker:

hpynh2o · December 2011

I didn't gain anything!

BPayton27 · December 2011

I maintained....to the ounce. I about fell over when I saw that this afternoon. I wouldn't stress about a little gain during the holidays. It can all be undone. It is a time to enjoy with family and friends.

Soccer_chick916 · December 2011

7 lbs and counting... FML... I am so depressed... :brokenheart:

cheree1965 · December 2011

11 lbs

SmartAlec03211988 · December 2011

I don't weigh myself, so I don't know. Or care. A three day food binge was fun and I am back on track today. No regrets or stress.

Gdzgal771 · December 2011

Ha!! This^^

Back on the straight and narrow tomorrow though, and boy, I cannot wait to eat normally again!! I did go for an 11k run this morning though... it was awesome, I had so much energy from all the carbs I've been stuffing in my face-- a welcome change from the deficit I endured for three weeks prior to Christmas!!
