    I lost 2 lbs the week of Christmas (my weigh in day is Sunday, which was xmas day) and another lb this week. But I have been sick since before xmas eve, so I have not been drinking what I would usually consume over Christmas and New Year! I haven't lost my appetite mind you, and I ate plenty of naughty stuff. However I logged every bite and I think that really helped me not to go too mad and eat everything not pinned down! :laugh:

    My goal was to maintain through the holidays, so I was disappointed to step on the scale this morning and be up 6 pounds.

    Me too. I am back on track now though.

    I lost 12lbs in December, nearly 3lbs Christmas week. I just kept exercising as normal but had the will power of a saint! Didn't make for the merriest of Christmases tbh but I was so thrilled when I got on the scale yesterday morning :happy: After last night, however, I think I have some making up to do :ohwell:

    LOST .2 lbs.over all. :blushing: I fluctuated .5 lb for the last four weeks, and by the end expected to be up a pound, but ended up down- below where I started! I drank wine like crazy all season and indulged in home made bread ( my weakness) so am very shocked. On Dec 30 I decided to kick off my resolutions to get back on track starting December 31. I wanted to wake up feeling good about myself to start the New Year. I behaved on New Year's Eve Day and had nothing to drink last night. I walked for an hour on the treadmill before dinner. I weighed in this AM and was realy surprised. It is clear that the weight training with my personal trainer 3x week has REALLY boosted my metabolism. I kept it up over the holidays. I feel fabulous. My best to you all for a successful New Year.

    My biggest problem wasn't Christmas its self but the two weeks leading up to it. All the parties which revolved around eating and socialising. I got weighed Christmas Day because I was at work and had put 3lbs on which I can live with considering all the outings I went on :ohwell: .

    Today is a new start, but I cant get weighed until I return to work as they have the best scales so will do that on Tuesday. I have walked 5 miles for the past two days and will do the same tomorrow. Hopefully some of it will have gone already and then I can start over.

    I think Christmas is the worse blip in a whole year. Good luck to everyone and welcome to those who joins us new for 2012.:smile:

    Do you all log your weight gain or wait til it comes off and then log when you go down a pound.

    I do

    I gained four lbs. over Christmas Eve and Christmas. It took me about a week to get that off. In the meantime, I've lost another 5. So I'm not complaining. But it does feel like all that overeating at Christmas wasn't worth it. Some derailing is okay, but I could have been more moderate about it. Instead, I gobbled like I'd never see food again! Stupid, stupid. Next year, I'll try better. Or at least to stay within maintenance calories! And pinpoint what -one- thing I really want to have as a cheat for the holidays.

    I lost a couple of pounds over the holidays, I went a little overboard on the chocolate but I counted them all in my daily calories, so basically I cut back on eating other stuff. Not the healthiest way to do things but I didn't want to gain any back.
