Christmas weight gain. Anyone else ready to face the music?

[Dingydown]

8lb on since Christmas Eve

Not surprisingly but still.

pass the wine

I had trifle for breakfast.

I have no regrets

I have booked a fitness check at the gym tomorrow. Bricking it.
Xmas cake yesterday for breakfast

I'm gearing up to getting on the scales! Not emotionally ready yet! I'm thinking 4kg since my last weigh-in, but I will shift them fairly quickly if I start running again...

6lb on...

I've lived on cheese and wine for a solid week now.

1kg, so about 2lbs on. Not bad considering I've eaten about 3 times what I normally do and done zero exercise for a week...

I’m refusing to weigh myself. I can tell by my clothes that it’s bad. I started back on healthy eating yesterday- kind of hit that wall where Christmas food/sweets were no longer appealing. I just need to stay motivated (so much easier said than done).

I'm planning my healthy meals for next week- whilst drinking sloe gin and eating cheese

I put on 7lbs in three days. Impressive.

I have managed to get rid of 3 of the blighters by cutting down on the crap and alcohol a bit and increasing water and veg. Hopefully the other 4 will disappear after New Year. Then I just need to get on with losing that elusive few stone I keep meaning to lose.

Surely those gains aren’t fat though? Isn’t it likely to be just water retention? definitely not going to weigh myself now

Weighed in this morning. 1lb on. Unusually for me I haven’t over indulged at all this Christmas. I’ve been at work almost every day including Christmas Day and have managed to avoid temptation. Now I just need to shift the 5 stones of extra weight I’ve been carrying around for the past couple of years or so 😫

4lbs on

Lost 7lbs from November so still down 3lbs I suppose

8lb since 21st Dec. Back to normal eating from Tuesday and hopefully it’ll come off. Then I can work on the other 2 stone that also needs to do one.

Only 1.7lbs on, not at all worried about it, it'll be gone again over the next week or so.

I was 5lbs heavier 4 days ago. It could be worse now, but I haven’t checked. I’ve eaten so much over Xmas, including a whole box of shortbread to myself. I need to stop! What is everyone doing with all the leftover biscuits and chocolates etc? I have another tin of shortbread that I daren’t open....

Have you no willpower at all?

Yes I have plenty. Thanks so much for asking.

Im too scared to look! I also can tell from my clothes and face its bad! Back to work tomorrow so ill be back in routine.... hopefully!

Work and routine come hand in hand! Mine will be shifted in a few weeks. It's been lovely to have a splurge!

Sorry, was actually kidding 😳

Will hit the scales when I get back home from my 3000 calorie per day diet aka my mother's house

Sorry misinterpreted your post.

I've gladly let go of the reigns to be honest. It's been blissful to just switch off the whole mindful eating I follow for the other 51 weeks of the year!

2 or 3 lb gain. Most of that will be food making it’s way through my system, plus a bit of water retention. I’ll go back to serious LCHF in the next couple of days and will shave that gain off in a couple of weeks.

*Its!

MNHQ please sort out this ridiculous autocorrect!!

I'm nit stepping on the scales. I can feel it. Just gonna blindly start to eat a bit healthier once the chocs have gone and hope that it melts away 😂

8lbs since around the 20th Dec! So many boozy catch ups. My diet's been wine, cheese, carbs & sugar!
Also at that 'meh' wall with all the food, got chicken & salad for todays lunch then back on the wagon 100% from 2nd Jan.
Need to hide all the sweets!
