How much weight have you gained over Christmas?

I've lost 9 lbs due to trekking in remote southern Morocco over Christmas. 10 days in the wilderness (no alcohol.)
It was hard physical work climbing mountains and scrambling over boulder-strewn river beds, but I feel so much better for it.
My arms and legs (which were firm already due to competitive swimming as a teenager) are now like iron.
Sounds great. How was the food whilst you were away?It was hard physical work climbing mountains and scrambling over boulder-strewn river beds, but I feel so much better for it.

I've been to the gym and had no booze for three days and feel loads better already. Lost 4 pounds of superficial weight, now on to the real stuff. 1 stone to go then ideal weight.
to be told I've put 6lb on over the last year.Couple of pounds as I was away for the period, and could not be bothered to exercise; holiday mentality. Nothing serious though.
What is serious is the new joiners at my gym. There was some porky bird ambling on a bicycle at walking pace, reading a "celeb" magazine today, bulging out of her lycra in an unsightly fashion and putting me off my workout. In a moment of rage, I considered melting her down for soap, or feeding her to starving African children.
I hate New Year fatties. I'm praying that one wobbles into the boxing ring with me by accident.

usually I would agree, but don't knock those that are actually trying to lose weight... At least they are giving it a go.What is serious is the new joiners at my gym.

Haven't been on the scales for a couple of months. Not feeling too bad though, bit of weight on the mid section, but considering this time last year I was 14 stone! I would guess i'm around 12.5st at the moment.
1st Feb is my New Year, no time for the gym this time of year.
Shouldn't even be posting

- 1/2 stone, due to flu. NYE, several curries, tartiflette and a jaffa cake binge may have redressed this somewhat.
due to broken boiler, i have been at the gym every night this week so i can use the showers so hopefully this good work will continue.
I've just smashed by boiler up with a rubber mallet and am posting this from a toning table at the gym.due to broken boiler, i have been at the gym every night this week so i can use the showers so hopefully this good work will continue.

I concur - just had to endure exactly this tonight as my first mid-week session of the year, waiting an age for a machines that will lying there empty by next month.... I always want to suggest that maybe they should save their cash and my time, and try running up and down their own stairs/ eating less chips for a few weeks, and then spend their hard-earned joining the gym IF they manage to see the concept of exercise out beyond the resolution fad!Pferdestarke said:

spent 50 minutes on the wii fit
A lot of people knock the Wii but I think it's a great bit of kit for exercise (I don't have one myself but if I needed some kind of motivation to keep fit, I'd get one or the 360 Kinect). I played that boxing game on Christmas day against the family and I was knackered after 5 goes!Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
