    Well I havent stepped foot on the scales lately and i am infact scared to, but how much have you gained this xmas??

    I was scared to and when I stepped on it this morning I DID NOT want to look down at it but when I did I was so excited to see I didn't even gain an ounce!!! Yeah, I'm still trying to lose but my goal for December was to maintain. I was so happy this morning that I made my whole family watch my happy dance. LOL

    lost 1.5 lbs.. Actually kind of worked out for me. I used Christmas as a metabolism spike day... Trouble is, I have not gotten to the gym due to a chest cold that has been arsing my kick for like two weeks!

    I *lost* eight pounds in three days... but I had a stomach virus the entire holiday. I would not recommend it. :-( I much rather would have gained a few pounds and spent time enjoying my family and all the great holiday food.

    It's weird I didn't gain any, as a matter of fact I lost a pound. Yet after how much I ate today, I will definitely gain that pound back.

    At least half a stone, I expect, but I am water retaining like a reservoir, so there's no point weighing myself. I'll do that in a couple of weeks.

    tried my hardest not to gain but I think I gained a pound or two. hard to tell as I've been working out pretty steady duirng the break so I don't know if's water retention or not.

    I weighed in the day before leaving, went out of town and ate whatever I wanted (within reason, but definitely over my usual maintenance calories for 3 days), weighed in again today on the 4th day and I have LOST 1.2 lbs. Although I will admit, having my 20 month old completely lose concept of a sleeping schedule over the weekend and breastfeeding for hours upon hours (very unusual) probably burned off a lot of that holiday overindulgence. :-)

    I gained -6lbs
    That's NEGATIVE 6 lbs...lol

    And I ate like a pig; however, I did 4 hours - yes, 4 hours of low impact cardio every day I made a pig of myself. I went from 202 at the start of the season down to 196.

    ALL IS POSSIBLE!

    Don't know. Don't really care! Probably because I'm still stuffing my face. :drinker:
    That is so awesome and so honest !!

    I weighed in on Christmas eve morning and had lost 2 lbs since last weigh in BUT I KNOW I have had a crapload of sodium - though I am assuming my logging was correct and sometimes you just don't know. Anyway ! I'm going to weign in again on the 2nd when TOM is over and sodium is flushed ( literally ! lol!)

    Not weighing myself until New Years Day... Then the crying will begin. ON the next day I will get serious:-)


    PS... I have been logging and exercising though.

    well i got a new scale on christmas so i'm guessing that also has to do with the gain since i was using a spring scale before but i gained 3 pounds.

    6 lbs... but I'm not sure how much of that is bloating weight? We'll find out on Sat for my weigh in. :ohwell:

    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 went off track right before Thanksgiving and I have gained 12 pounds IT SUCKS! I hope you are right but I doubt it will come off quickly.

    Surprisingly I didn't gain at all. I ate like a pig too.
    I figured I gain at least 5 but I guess not :bigsmile:

    I only went up .5 lbs (just because its a larger quantity of food than I'm used to having in my stomach), but I'm back down about a pound now. On Xmas I wound up having about 1,300- 1.400 cals, so I know I didn't gain any fat.

    For me, I indulged but I also worked out. I went to Zumba Christmas Eve morning (a normal Saturday class), walked the treadmill Christmas night, ran on the treadmill yesterday morning, and then went to Zumba again tonight. I manage to lose 1.5 lbs since my last weigh in. So right now I'm feeling pretty good about things. The most important thing is that I had the most wonderful Christmas with both my family and my future in-laws! I'm definitely blessed.

    I am planning on weighing in tomorrow. I just couldn't bring myself to do it any sooner since I knew it would be up and I am already mad at myself for the weight I have gained since Halloween-ish time. I could have eaten way worse than I did on Christmas but once I started drinking beer my hands started creeping towards the snacks more lol. Luckily, I sat myself in front of the veggie/fruit platter and had a craving for sweet so was chowing down on grapes. THEN the family decided to move the food around the table so the cheese and crackers came my way. Bad news! I enjoyed myself and was eating well leading up to it and these past few days and really got extra exercise in so I am not too worried.
