2. You know, I really didn't gain too much last year.
I'm resolved to not gain any weight this year. It's my mother, she just tempts me with her cooking! :9

I haven't been at the weight I am now in a long time, so I'm determined to keep the weight off.

5. Good on ya, GOPisEvil!
:thumbsup:
Yup, when you've worked so hard to get to a certain point, it's easier to be more resolved. Congrats. You're an inspiration. :hug:

3. I'm trying to be good but...
I'll probably put on a few pounds. My husband was told by his doctor to lose weight so I'm not doing much baking and won't have too many goodies around. It'll do me good too!

6. Yeah, the baking thing is hard this time of year.
:hi: azmouse!

Did you see my thread about "24"? The new season starts on 1/14 and 1/15, with a four hour premiere, over two nights. :bounce: Can't wait!

4. I honestly don't know, but I'm hoping not to gain any this year.
Maybe?


Oooh is that fudge?


Oh damn.

11. It's one of those bodybuilder things.
Most people's "bulking cycles" just mean they got fat.

10. Last year I didn't gain anything, my dear Shine........
I'm hoping to do a repeat performance this year!

Wish me luck, sweetie!

Somehow, I don't have the resolve that I had last year......:cry:

12. I'd be happy to gain a few
I eat like a pig and struggle to keep my weight above 185. People at work want to throw things at me when I talk about it, but I have a fierce metabolism and just burn the calories up.

13. Well, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and
Christmas Day, I really don't eat any more than usual. The temporary effect on the scales caused by those three days is something I can take care of relatively easy. This scenario has been true for the past five years; prior to that time, my average holiday weight gain was about three pounds. :(

14. I doubt I will gain anything above normal..
I usually bulk up for winter 135=>140 that should be about it (all unibrow, keeps my face warm unibrow haters). And yes, I am a skinny six foot tall male. A skinny sex machine of a male. /*giggles*/

16. Well, this holiday season, I'm having a video game marathon
with a bunch of my friends, including my friends new Wii. That has the little interactive controller and everything!

So I probably won't be eating much. And what I will be eating I'll be working off with DDR.
