Gaining

Last year there was a challenge on here to gain 10% of your weight over the holidays. I started at 255, so I was going to go to 280, but I backed off at 270 and lost weight. Now I'm back up to 270 (plus a few) and I think that I really will be 280 this time around. It's not exactly a long way to go!

200 for me

I did it! 280 and feeling really damn big. Anything I gain over the holidays is just a bonus now.

Congratulations!

Goals are self-defeating. weight fluctuates in an unpredictable way. Just go with the flow, the fat will come!

I just realized that you were 168 over a month ago How has your gain been going since this post?
Hopefully you have put on some good lbs toward your Christmas goal.

The last couple weeks saw me regaining the last of what I lost, which was about 10-15 lbs. 165 now. If I can push toward 180 by Christmas, that'll set me toward my final goal nicely.

I love the holidays. All the cookies and cakes, parties with endless buffets, gifts of candy and other high calorie treats. I usually put on 10 lbs. between Thanksgiving and New Years Day, but I am up 12 lbs. already. May be a 15 to 20 lb. gain this holiday. Really looking forward to it.
