5lb gain apparently for me?!!!
I didn't completely go Barmy so hoping it shifts quick!

I’m 1kg up which considering the amount of food and wine I’ve eaten I’m ok with it could have been a lot more

Brisk walk with the dog later to blow away some cob webs and I will plan a way to shift 25kg this year!

No one else dared?
Turns out it was 2lb gain for me not 5.

No I haven’t dared - I dread to think! Going to start reining it now though as I feel awful and bloated

I would ‘dare’ but I’m not going to, no point while the cheese board is still going 🤷🏻‍♀️

I did weigh myself on Boxing Day for some unknown reason. I have gained about 3lb which is not surprising. Not worrying about it until January 3rd when I’m back to work though. It will undoubtedly be more by then 😏

I did but only because dp said he thought I was 15 stone. I was expecting to be about 13 and a half, but pleasantly surprised to be 12 stone 2.
I dont eat much at Christmas but I have had a lot of beer!!!
At the end of the day, if you've enjoyed your Xmas food, it was worth it!

Oddly no gain from a couple of weeks ago - however I look bloated so wondering if the scales are wrong. Will weigh again tomorrow.

Oh, you joker.

Let me get to the bottom of the hero’s box(es) first, eh?

My weight is change resistant. I can weather the Christmas orgy with a couple of pounds gain, but by the same token if I am eg ill for five days and eat nowt, I don't really lose either.

AllIwantforChristmas22 · 28/12/2022 14:44

Gained 4pounds 😩😭🫣it was my birthday a few days before Christmas and then Christmas of course!

name985 · 28/12/2022 14:46

Was ill over Christmas and have lost 3 pounds. Doubt this will be the case by January...

Goodywhoshoes · 28/12/2022 14:48

2lb less than last week, which was 2lb heavier than the week before so, despite the giant toblerone chunks over the last few days, I’m doing okay.

merryhouse · 28/12/2022 14:48

6lb more than Saturday morning, but 6lb less than a couple of weeks ago...

I think it's hormonal. Certainly it was a bit disconcerting to look in the mirror and realise the distribution had shifted. Ever seen balloons that escaped being popped for 6 months?

whatapity · 28/12/2022 15:02

I haven't weighed myself in a couple of years so I'm not going to bother checking, but my waistline feels tighter this week. I got back on the exercise bandwagon yesterday after a lazy Christmas week.

DuplicateUserName · 28/12/2022 15:08

Oddly enough, my DH accidentally kicked the glass bathroom scales and it smashed against the sink pedestal yesterday! 😧😂

I have no idea how much I've gained and won't find out until the new scales arrive in a few days.

Having said that, it's rare for me to gain more than 2 pounds at a time despite having an underactive thyroid so fingers crossed.

HelenHywater · 28/12/2022 15:12

I'm just over a kilo heavier than a week ago. But a kilo less than yesterday (when I didn't bother with dinner). Today's trifle and Christmas cake diet isn't going to help me lose that kilo.

Whatdoyouthinkno · 28/12/2022 15:26

Did it yesterday morning and I was 7 lbs heavier than Christmas Eve morning which is utterly bonkers. Half a stone in three days, seriously?! I went for a 15km run, came back and had shifted 4 lbs so I’m guessing it’s mostly water retention.
