    Up 3.6 pounds. It actually probably would have been worse but I joined a gym the week before Christmas so I'm sure the workouts helped. Someone else said they ate their body weight in cookies and I'm sure I did too.

    Won't weigh again until Monday...hoping that 3.6 plus at least another pound will be gone by then!

    3lbs up when I weighed on my normal day last Friday. My Wii had me up 4 but I was clothed and holding the controller.

    Makes you realise just how easy it is to fall back into old habits when the temptation is there.

    Not to worry though, I'm back at the pool, back on the Wii and back on track!

    Onwards and downwards!

    I've been practicing a policy of avoidance when it comes to scales since Christmas...I can tell in the way my clothes fit and the way I look that there's some added padding but it's a new year right?? :drinker:


    YES THIS ALL THE WAY!
    I have not stepped on the scale yet, i know i have a little more cushion than before the holidays, but when my clothes are back to normal fitting that is when i will step on the scale again. If i see the needle going in the wrong direction i will be bummed.

    I lost .4 between 12-23 and 1-2. I weighed again yesterday and it said I lost another 2. I didn't record that one though, I only record on Monday. I recorded on 12-23 knowing I was going to be out of town all week. I too ate too many cookies and didn't have a gym to go to. I did calisthenics in the morning, I think that helped. I have also put on some muscle in the last two months so that helped too. I love my little fat burning friends!

    My goal is to lose 1/2 pound a week. Over the past two weeks I lost 1 1/2 pounds, so that was better than expected.

    Gave myself a free pass from Thanksgiving on. Gained around 8 pounds, but 3 are gone already since I got back to swimming and running last week.

    Gained 5lbs but did manage to swim 3 times during the christmas break. Back on logging today and the exercise regime so I'm hoping it wont stay on for long.

    So glad to hear most of you didn't gain much, or have already lost some that you did gain! I was determined not to gain much because it takes me a little longer to lose the pounds these days, but luckily I only gained a little and am already back to my pre Christmas weight! Everything's good :-).

    Over 9 days from Xmas Day to New Years I put on 7.5 pounds. Having a NY Eve Chinese takeaway didn't help. I have lost 7 pounds of it so far so hoping to lose all of it by tomorrow.

    And I'm back to where I was 2 weeks before Christmas, so I'm really pleased, I've not even tried that hard! i'm back on it now to get to my goal weight, been under cals all week (yes I know it's only Monday!) and have not been tempted by anything sweet or high carb. Just changed my drink from coffee (caf in the morning then decaf all day) to green tea in the morning and camomile tea all day. It feels strangely fresher and I'm liking it.

    Hello!

    Not sure if there's already a topic like this, so apologies if there is. Just thought we could all share how much weight we'd gained over Christmas!

    I was naughty for two weeks, and when I stepped on the scales yesterday it said that I'd gained 3lbs. I had a really healthy day and some exercise, and this morning it said that two of those pounds have now gone. So I'm happy with that as it was obviously mostly water retention.

    How about you? What's the damage?

    So I actually went of track in October 2011 and am struggling to get back on track. I've gained 14 lbs of the 30 I lost last year =( It's so hard to get back on track once you've gone off. Any tips???? My main problem is snacking at work. Sometimes I just feel hungry and I eat eat eat =(. So frustrated. I'm not giving up though. I will lose those 14 lbs.
