Christmas weigh-in

Pherekydes · 01-01-2019 01:10AM

1 lb down from this day last year; 1 lb up from the start of December.

Not too bad.

ginandtonicsky · 01-01-2019 03:32PM

4 pounds up on pre Christmas weight. Probably deserve a lot more so I’ll take that! Will be back down within a week or two.

Happy new year folks!

Moyglish · 01-01-2019 08:11PM

Half a stone down since 20th December, so pretty pleased with that, not a bad start to the year today

Gimme A Pound · 01-01-2019 08:22PM

Enjoyed some total gorges and didn't put on weight. Absolutely loved the few days of eating goodies, drinking and relaxing. I eat very healthily for the rest of the year, and exercise regularly. This is my annual treat and those who like to pretend that this means embracing obesity can keep telling themselves that in order to feel superior - their choice.

A happy new year!

Even shorter for some of the fattys who have over indulged at Xmas and never lose the weight throughout the year and add more fat on the following Xmas

Life is too short when you are overweight and stuffing your face. I agree

Are you one of those people who can find their self worth only by putting others down?

Not at all, just find sloth like behaviour irritating

I’m happy so many people embrace being overweight and kid themselves on about losing it in the new year. Doesn’t happen , check out statistics, Ireland same path as uk and USA for fatties

It's a few days a year. The majority of it comes back off as soon as you go back to normal. Many people who are not overweight can overindulge and go back to normal.

More food, more sitting. Went to the gym a few times anyway. Be grand when back to usual routine

wadacrack · 01-01-2019 11:00PM

Weight is the very same, Weighing yourself everyday helps me control the portion size. Can still have treats and enjoy myself without putting on weight

actually they don’t. That’s why Ireland is getting fatter and fatter with this attitude. Many people don’t not do. Americans believe the same too......

I hate the stupid imperial system

valoren · 02-01-2019 09:40AM

Gained 9 pounds. What else should I expect after eating chocolate, Pringles and drinking beer every day while sitting on my hole for 10 days straight.

Ciaran_B · 02-01-2019 10:15AM

Did a platelets donation earlier in the week and they weighed me before it - 75KG. Which is the same as I was 3 months ago. I'm not sure if I'm yet to metabolite all the food I've eaten over the last week but I might have gotten away with it.

Wanderer78 · 02-01-2019 10:17AM

More or less the same weight, strangely didn't eat too much crap

smeal · 02-01-2019 10:30AM

I didn’t eat half as much chocolate and sweets as I usually would over Christmas but did partake in a few takeaways and meals out. Also drank a lot. Managed to get out for four runs over the break but still feel absolutely rotten, bloated and have zero energy.

Anyways I train hard running and gymming throughout the year so it was well deserved and plus I had a great time

. I’ll be back to normal in a week or two. For me I think its the lack of routine that floors me at Christmas. I was getting up late and maybe not eating something decent until the late afternoon.

jarvis · 02-01-2019 10:38AM

For the 6 months before Xmas I consciously ate far better than I’ve ever eaten before and in that 6 months I lost nearly 2 stone.
I have been very lax about eating over the Xmas and I have put back on 6lbs.

I have a question though.
In people’s experience will that 6lb be as tough to lose as a normal 6lb or will it drop down faster when I return to a healthy diet and abandon the beering and indulging I’ve been doing every day?

It might drop faster as 2 or 3 pounds could be mainly glycogen (water weight). If you go back to the same calories as before Christmas it should be fine in 4-6 weeks maybe shorter.

You will know better after a week for a your regular diet

jimbobaloobob · 02-01-2019 11:09AM

Heard a piece on the news Before Christmas saying on average people gain 5-7lbs
Decided then to see what I weighed. Tested again on reading this. Still the same.

Actually its more to do with what you do the whole year rather then a week at Christmas. Obviously the obesity epidemic is not due to one week a year.

jimbobaloobob · 02-01-2019 11:10AM

It's not what you do between Christmas and New Years but what you do between New Years and Christmas.

Exactly. I am back to one pound over my normal weight now after a few days of being good so it not really hard to loose it again once you don't go mad.

I’m sure someone has a more scientific answer to this, but IME my body has a “set weight” that it’s most comfortable at and that I’ll revert to pretty naturally when I’m back living a healthy lifestyle after a few days of heavy eating. So with that and water weight, I’d shift the few post-binge pounds a lot easier than a few pounds that have crept up over the course of a year that my body has gotten “used to” in a sense.

Trigger Happy · 02-01-2019 11:39AM

I am the same weight that I was before December. But it’s distributed differently as am less fit than I was.

In my own experience (I've been actively losing weight for a while), if I have a bad week and gain 4+lbs (rare thankfully, usually a bad week is 1.5lv gain), 2-3 of that will fall off immediately within a day or two of healthy eating. Some of it is water retention, and some is fat gain.

Yes but adding a few kgs over Xmas to eat wrecklessly just adds to the weight you will add during the year

Look around, more fatties than physically fit people

Worth noting most people don’t believe they are overweight but they are

Right so how does your goading of fat people really work? It doesn't seem to be successful. So you are wasting everyone's time to repeat something that has absolutely no valuable effect except to make you feel better.

There is a quote attributed to Einstein about insanity that might be appropriate here.

I am goading because I originally said that it was strange how people let themselves go over Xmas and live in denial believing they will become active after Xmas?

I am replying to posters quoting me? Is it not a contradiction if posters are the ones quoting me ?

I understand people are feeling low now Xmas is over and they have put on excess weight

Fenster · 02-01-2019 12:30PM

I lost half a kilo, though I spent most of the season running and hiking because SAD.

Wildly Boaring · 02-01-2019 12:34PM

Had the ****s for the last 2 days. (The joy of toddlers in the house bringing home every bug in the country)

Now back to pre Christmas weight and falling.

Conall Cernach · 02-01-2019 12:41PM

First day back at work after Christmas. I didn't think I was too bad over the last 10 days but I had to struggle to get my belt into its normal loophole.

And I said that many people (well, many people that I know) are well able to indulge over Christmas and get back to healthy eating in January. You genuinely seem to think that these type of people don’t exist. That the only people who indulge at Christmas are fat to begin with. If so, how bizarre, how bizarre.

I was fat to begin with when I indulged too much at Christmas.

I'm also far, far less fat than I used to be and can very easily jump back into healthy eating and moderation as I've done today

It's mad how overindulgence at Christmas makes all of us porkers who will never lose a pound of it.
