Any Christmas weight gains?

[threeeggsontoast]

This was my first Christmas on MJ and I wanted to give myself a bit of slack to enjoy the festivities but at the same time, not make a huge dent in my weight loss so far. I normally gain 5-7lbs over Christmas week and then spend most of January trying to shift it.

This Christmas I still jabbed but gave myself ‘permission’ to not track calories but my rule was that I’d eat if I was hungry and would stop eating mindlessly just for the sake of it. I’ve had a totally lovely time and had a little bit of everything including roasties, quality street and dips/snacks (all my favourite stuff). Jumped on the scales tonight and have gained 0.8lbs (since Dec 23) and to me that feels like a good result as I can shift that pretty quickly.

Anyone else had any maintains, gains or losses over Christmas week?

I put on 2lbs but not injected since the 14th December

I lost 4lbs. Jabbed as normal last Monday and again today. Haven’t felt like I’ve missed out - still had a bit of what I’ve fancied, but haven’t fancied a lot of it! 😊

Nope lost a pound, eaten some extra things just not hoovered everything in sight. Not going to jeopardise 9 months of hard work.

Stayed the same...I'm happy with that. I was dreading weighing myself as I really do feel like I ate a lot

I’ve ’gained’ 5 lbs! Not too worried though - I am in maintenance and was actually below the lower end of my goal range. I am only injecting 2.5 every 2 wks. I was actually quite thoughtful about what I ate but enjoyed a lot of home baking - I love Xmas cake! I suspect a lot of my gain is water and food - have got back to my normal routine now and hoping it melts away pretty quickly.

Stayed the same :) I did have a fair few mince pies over the festive week but ate no more than maintenance. My extended family tend to have two big meals a day when we get together including over Christmas so that suited me well. I had appetite to eat delicious meals with enough time between to get hungry and not overeat.

Stayed the same here over 2 weeks, no injection since around 10 December. I wanted to enjoy Christmas dinner and what not..when dosed up I don't fancy anything and then can eat maybe half a sandwich or something
. didn't want to feel that way for Christmas dinner, especially as someone else was cooking..

had a dose on Saturday.

I gained 2lbs. From 9st 1lbs to 9st 3lbs. Last Christmas I was on a higher dose and still very much losing, this year I’m on maintenance, jabbed as normal, ate a bit more than usual (and very much enjoyed it!) but know it will come off in a week or two. It’s been very liberating.

I gained 3 pounds but I got to BMI of 22 from 34 so even with the 3 pound gain I am still a healthy weight, I am trying to work out how to maintain and keep my diabetes at bay :) I haven't injected since 18th December so 12 days ago, will take it on 1st Jan to hopefully get back on track and maintain rather than gain

I managed to loose a 1lb, think I probably sweated that off in the kitchen wrestling a giant turkey, also went for several walks as the weather has been so nice and have been trying to escape the kitchen/snacks and having any further dealings with the giant turkey. Back to work today and I’m glad to be back in my normal routine 😅

I put on 4lbs but have dropped 2

I stayed the same but I’ve been maintaining for the last month so I’ll take it as a positive

7lbs 🤮😱

I weighed myself on Saturday and had stayed the same. I am starting to feel a bit anxious about gaining weight this week - I have definitely had too much wine lately, and been chomping my way through too many bowls of peanuts. However, I haven’t had any mince pies, Christmas cake, desserts, glasses of Bailey’s, crackers smothered in cheese and butter, crisps or any of that stuff. I have bought loads of new clothes online in the sales and am now agitated that they won’t fit by the time they are delivered!

I've put on about 3lbs. Mainly as I've enjoyed a few drinks, not food.

Was up 1lb on my weigh day but since I’m no longer aiming to lose weight for the last 2 months my weight has basically gone up and down the same 1lb for about 8 weeks.
So when I next weigh on Saturday, in theory I’ll be back down the same 1lb again. However I’m on holiday at the moment, jabbed as normal but had lunch and a pudding today because I fancied it and will probably have a couple of glasses of wine most evenings if I want them. We are doing lots of long walks during the day but I’m out of routine with my regular exercise schedule and I’m eating more carbs than I do at home.
All fine though, I can’t eat loads so I’m just eating what I want this week rather than worrying too much about the nutrition side of things. My BMI is currently 20.5 so fine on that front.

I gained half a pound. I jabbed weekly as normal and did allow myself extra food over Christmas. I didn’t drink much alcohol though as I didn’t fancy it.

Pre MJ, I’d always gain at least 5lb over Christmas.

Weighed this morning, down about 3lbs since 24th but we have been out walking most days in the good weather.

Have had a few drinks, mini mince pies but otherwise very much on plan with jabs and we were eating out at pubs a fair bit but then had very light meal in the evening - shared a small pizza or cheese n biscuits etc…

I’ve gained 3lbs. Christmas as coincided with my titration down as I’m in maintenance now. I intend to lose it in January.

I’m trying to maintain at 9st7, currently on a 6mg dose, slowly working my way down from 7.5mg. I usually fluctuate +- 1lb, but had unintentionally dropped to 9st5 just before Xmas. I’m currently 9st9 (but was briefly 9st11 over the Xmas period).

So, if I was being pessimistic I could say I put on 6lbs, or if I was being optimistic, I could say I’ve gained 1lb, depending on which dates I measure between. I’m sure I’ll be back to wobbling around 9st7 in a week or so.
