Thanksgiving to New Years - How Much Do You Plan to Lose/Gain?

Can you still lose, despite the coming Tsunami of food that will be forced on you at home and at work.   How many times will you have to say no thanks and offend those that spent so much time and money just to help you get off your diet.  The next 6 weeks is the ultimate test of food willpower.  Good Luck !!!

 My plan is to lose 1 lb.

I plan on eating my favorite goodies... but in small amounts so that I can lose at least 5 lbs by new years! :)

Plan to gain 17lbs. Have to bulk up... Then  lose 5 lbs of body fat in 1 month after new years.

I'd like to lose 16 pounds between now and New Year's, but that's probably unrealistic ... so my actual goal is to lose 10 pounds or so.

My plan is not to be rude take one bite and not eat the whole thing (whatever it is).  Then at least I will get a taste and not indulge myself.  I need to make better decisions on what I eat on a daily basis to make up for it. 

I do plan on losing 5 pounds before new years. 

Thanks for the post, I was wondering how others felt about it, too.

i read once that on AVERAGE people usually only gain one pound over the holidays. but not us, we've got willpower!

I want to lose about 12/14 lbs before Jan. 1. My best friend and I set a goal and if we each meet our goals we're going on a spa weekend to celebrate my 35th bday (which is Jan. 22). I'm doing the "lose 10 lbs by xmas" challenge then will lose a couple more after that and before new year's eve... hopefully.

No scratch that. Not hopefully. I AM GOING TO DO IT!!  :-)

i am 196.6 right now. i wanted to be at 185 by new years, but my weight loss has seemed to stop, despite my efforts. so i'm going to have to try extra extra hard to make that goal! but even if i get below 190 i'll be happy.

I really hope to lose 5 pounds by the first. Like said before we have motivation and each other. So cheers to losing and being lighter by the end of the year.

3 lbs... i stuffed myself with turkey all day yesterday and i plan to again on christmas and as well as my bday, so wish me luck!!

With no thanks to Thanksgiving, I'm +3 lbs since Wednesday.  Hopefully, all the sweets will be soon gone and I can go back to my low cal routine.

Managed to lose 2.5 lb from 10/31 to 12/31.  That covers birthday, anniversary and holidays.    Thanksgiving was a little tough, but managed to get into a "just say no" habit since then.  Eating pretty good, but just staying away from snacks.  No new year resolution as I'm happy with current weight (146).
