Reader I bet you won't be surprised to hear that the average American gains weight during the holiday season. Actually between Thanksgiving and Christmas so really only a month. There are lots of crazy numbers that have been thrown around but the New England Journal of Medicine says the average weight gain is only about 2 lbs. This is an average so some gain less and others gain more. The big problem with this holiday weight gain is, regardless of how much you gain the study indicates that you get to keep it. Weight gained during the holiday season isn't lost in the spring and summer that follow. That holiday weight just compounds every year which is one of the reasons people often feel like they gained weight for no reason. It's sneaky weight that just keeps building over time. Rather than worry about holiday weight GAIN let's focus on holiday weight LOSS. As one of my client's said today - 'I'm not powerless, I can do better than just survive. I can and will control the things that I can control.' That, right there, sums up holiday weight loss. You decided that you are in control of you. You decide to make choices that work best for you. This doesn't mean missing out or having to compromise by giving up the foods you love. It means learning how to incorporate the foods you love, all of them in a way to works for your body AND your goals. Yes, you can have it all and in my free, live Master Class: Holiday Health Odyssey - staying fit and losing weight during the holidays you'll learn:

Reader I don't know about you but thinking about all the holiday treats and goodies that are about to be VERY available makes me a little stressed. This is a big reason why my husband and I have declared Halloween - New Year's the Holiday Health Odyssey. We want to hit January feeling our best and to do that we need to go into the holiday season in a body that has little interest in chocolate and other high sugar treats & desserts. How are we going to do this? We're going to make sure we're...

Hi Reader, I posted this 20 year before and after of me and got a couple of interesting comments. The first one I saw was this: If the first pic is overweight, I'm WAY worse off than I think! Every body is different and you're the only one who knows how you feel. I was overweight for me but it was more than what I looked like it was how I felt. I felt awful. I was living on a blood sugar rollercoaster of feeling great one minute then brain fog and exhausted the next. I was also achy. I was 37...
