    I only gained 2.5 pounds. Got rid of one already doing a 1 day Shakeology cleanse and brining it on with my new P90X2 workout program! Feels great to get back to healthy eating and hard workouts.

    I didn't gain any holiday weight to begin with.
    Mate at work tried to work out how many calories I'd have to eat to put on 14lb in 2 weeks I'm sure he said it would be 20000 calories a day!
    To gain a pound per day you'd need to eat 3500 plus your maintenance. So well over 5000 (provided you didn't do any exercise) every single day.

    I feel bad about the weight gain, but I'm sure it's nothing a couple of weeks of exercise and not overeating won't fix.

    As I posted earlier in the thread it's all pretty much water!

    I was 12 stone 7 when I weighed on Monday and Tuesday. Weighed this morning and I wad 12 stone. Don't think I've lost 7 pounds in 2 days somehow considering I've eaten around 2000 calories a day! :)

    I am sure that much of it IS water, but you can't blanket statement that ALL of it is. If someone ate 3500 calories over during a week, they gained a pound of fat. They may also have gained an extra pound or two of water, but that pound of fat isn't going to go away without work.

    I gained two pounds in the Christmas/New Year period, but I've now lost that weight, it would've been a lot more if I hadn't eaten healthy for a lot of the time, I only overindulged on Christmas Eve-Boxing Day and New Year's Eve, although I think I drank my own weight in wine haha

    I've just come back today from 3 weeks in Spain and have put on 9lbs. I didn't even go that mad so am quite qutted. But never mind, back to it tomorrow. Will weigh again in the morning and start to repair the damage.
