How much did the holidays set you back?
 
Weight-wise? For me it was 1 pound officially :o

I actually lost, and i'm still trying to figure that one out 0.o...From Halloween to Thanksgiving I stayed the same, Thanksgiving to Christmas I lost 6 pounds.

Only gaining one pound during the holidays is pretty impressive. :) Congrats on not going overboard

I weigh in at WW, and I was down 9.8 the week after Christmas... did great but then lost it NY's Eve/Day. I was up 3 lbs this am on my scale. So overall, down 6ish pounds :)

1lb through the holiday season is pretty amazing, especially with all those goodies hanging around! I actually went down about 2lbs and then right after my new years eve food fest I lost another 3lbs. Not sure how or why but I'll take what I can get!

I might be the record holder for most gained of the holidays. From December 15th to January 1st I gained 14.6 pounds. Yep! My husband ate as much if not more and moved far less and gained 2. (we had the same starting weight). How is that just?

So far I'm down 2.8 from tht but it will take a long time to undo that damage. So much for thinking I might maintain for the month of December! I had no idea my body would retract so strongly to eating more and to incorporating carbs (which I'm not used to eating sugars).

Melissa- at least you know now your body can't handle going back to that amount of carbs and I doubt you'll ever gain that much again. :) Trial and error. Good job on losing almost 3 pounds of the gained weight

I have you tied I think. But I just lay down and ate from the begining of december till this monday. I was just sick of eating by New Years Day. Didn't stop me of course, but hopefully I will remember that feeling.

I was trying to maintain and I wound up losing two pounds instead.

Christmas Day/NYE were ok, the eating the week between was awful - bit NYC dinners of Italian & Mexican - so good, so unhealthy - everything was a bit tight when I went back to work yesterday...

LisaTcan 01-04-2012 04:46 PM

Up 3 :(

PreciousMissy 01-04-2012 04:47 PM

5lb gain here! I decided to give myself a present and enjoy the holiday goodies :lol:

I gave myself a cut off date that I had to stop eating all the junk food. Low and behold that day came and I tried to talk myself into just one more day of eating junk.

My body went into shock yesterday! I felt horrible and sluggish all day. I stuck to my veggies and protein and woke up feeling 80% better! I forgot how cruddy all that junk food made me feel!

djs06 01-04-2012 04:57 PM

I gained 9.2 lbs between December 23rd and January 1. Ack. But I've already lost a few. It's mostly water so I'm not too concerned... it'll make my first official weigh-in exciting. :)

Me too, but have since lost one. Haven't changed my ticker tho. I'm also about to have TOM so maybe I have lost more than 1. We'll see in a week!
