I gained 7 from Christmas, lost it by the 29th, gained the whole 7 back from New year's, and as of this morning I lost it all again. So all told I only gained .2. I'll take it! I'm back on track now and hoping to lose some serious pounds this year.
I am up 1 but that is normal for this time of my cycle... Will have to see if I get my usual whoosh next week. I didn't go crazy though, was only 1-200 calories over on the special days, but I drank alcohol and ate more carbs than usual.
I did just fine. I ate whatever I wanted but I also got out to jog/walk before and after eating on thanks giving an d also on christmas. Shootmy monthly visitor put me up 10 pounds --- not my eating.
It's all gone now and I broke my plateau and even went down a size toboot! It doesn't get any better than that.
Not sure what the damage is yet... I had hit 110lbs near the beginning of December, and whenever I hit a new low, my weight will fluctuate for a while. So it would go 111, 112, 110, etc... Currently it's my TOM, and scale the other day showed 115. I have been working out very hard for the past four days, and my eating is absolutely on track, so I wil be monitoring my weight and see. I anticipate atleast 2-3 lbs of bloat/water eight to drop ASAP...especially with the intensity of my recent workouts.
(secret thought: I don't think I'll ever like my body. Not truly. I look at my flubby tummy, my big arms, my small "girls", and I just wonder why I don't look like so many of those other girls out there-seemingly so naturally perfect. I have come so far, but I don't see my finish line. I don't see the day I'll wake up and be happy with my naked self.)
I'm officially up 3 for the Christmas season. I don't find that too bad, considering I had a few days of off-plan eating over Christmas proper... but then had some really sad news in the family. My stepdad went into hospice on the 24th and ended up passing away on the 30th. I was a continent away and unable to get there in time... so needless to say, my plan was completely the last thing on my mind. I drank too much wine, ate whatever crossed my plate.. so all in all, I don't consider 3 pounds too bad. I'm back on track now and hoping to get back to where I was shortly.
nada! officially weighed in at on the 28th at the same weight i did on the 22nd, which was really good and since then i have dropped another half kilo (1 lb). yay! i was really surprised... i didn't gorge but i definitely ate a lot more chocolate than normal!

Been on a plateau since T'giving. Keep bouncing around the same 4-5 lb. But I know it's sodium/water weight because it's so quick (155 New Year's Eve, 156 New Year's Day, 159 Jan 2, and 156 Jan 3, etc.) so I'm not really worried about it. I decided that I wouldn't "go crazy" during the holidays, but I also didn't plan to track my food, etc. I didn't eat with gusto, but I didn't worry about food intake, either. I simply ate what I wanted in controlled portion sizes.
Yesterday was my 1st day back at work since xmas break. I'm back to regular routine now, & expect to see the scale start to move in downward motion again on a regular basis.
Congrats to those who were able to lose lol!
I'm not kicking myself over the 1lb, but am getting back on track this week and feel good, I wouldn't say great just yet but I do feel good lol
Down 3. This always happens when I eat poorly. I stick very well to my plan normally, and when I go off for a weekend or holiday I immediately lose 2-4 pounds when I get off plan.
So for example, I'm planning on having a fun superbowl and eating whatever. It works for me! Until then I'll be on plan.
