Subject: How much weight gain during Christmas/Holidays?
I finished last season at 155-157 lbs range depending on the day. I weighed myself the first time since Thanksgiving yesterday morning and had gained 6 lbs., I knew I had picked up some and am not too worried about the gain. Anyone gain more or manage to keep it off?

I picked up 5 pounds from the end of my season in October through the holidays. Now, I have to slog my way through the weight loss. Arghh, why did I let myself do that? I think it is called chocolate.

Up 6 pounds here from the end of race season in September to January 1. I'm starting to log my nutrition on Fitday to keep track of intake and to make me think about what I'm eating.

I don't use a scale, but around 5 pounds since the end of last season is a good guess

Since my last race (172) I've gone up to 177. Hoping to get back under 170 by the end of January and hopefully get to and maintain around 160-165 this season. Going to start logging my food intake again so I can monitor my nutrition (it's also embarrassing to log crap)...

Five pounds for me too. Gave into temptation too often over the Holidays.

JeepFleeb - 2006-01-04 10:07 PM I'm up 15 since the end of the season.

Phew, that makes me feel better about my 10.  Although, from a % point of view it's not pretty.  I weighed about 61kg before IMWA, weighed myself after training tonight...65.1kg!!  Guess I'd better get serious about that thing they call "training" again.

I've been fluctuating around 185 +/- 5 pounds the whole time. Pretty consistent actually. But then again I have been working out as much as I would in the rest of the year.

Thankfully, zero gain here.  It seems like every time I step on the scale I'm within about 0.2 lbs of 170 no matter what I do (as long as I'm not pigging out and still training, of course).

A few ounces under 10 here too.  But last year I hit it hard starting at the New Years and dropped 20 so if I do that again I'll have a net loss of 30 and be at nearly single digit body fat... or so I hope.

Too scared to get on the scale but I'm thinking I'm up around 8 lbs. I was hoping to to drop 5-6 lbs before IMCDA from last summers weight.  Now I have to work on losing a total of 14 lbs. 

Anyone in my area want to come over and pick up leftover Christmas cookies/brownies/alcohol?

I got on the scale the day after Christmas and I was up 10 since the end of the season.  Though I don't look it and people don't believe me, I know it's there.  I've been able to drop a few in the last week, but still a ways to go.

A week or two before Christmas I just barely got under 200lbs for the first time in 20+ years. January 1 the scale said 205. That will just be temporary though.

No weight gain since Thanksgiving, probably due to sickness

I am a yo-yo. Went from 124 to 127 back to 124. My gain/loss is directly proportinate to the amount of carbs I'm eating. Holidays = carbs. You can't say no to mom and gramma!

My boyfriend, on the other hand, lost 10 pounds from being sick. We had the same cold, I ate and he didn't.

I gained 10 pounds between the end of my season in Honolulu in October and New Years Day.  It was a combination of post season let down, and stress/boredom eating.  I'm working on trying to chuck the weight.  I need to be the mean, leaning fighting machine at Saint A's.
