Not a Single Pound Challenge! It's very difficult to maintain weight without gaining additional pounds over the holidays. Research shows that a majority of people gain 1-2 pounds each year between Thanksgiving through the middle of January That 1-2 pound weight gain adds up to the tune of 10-20 pounds over a ten-plus year period leading to significant weight and health issues. This challenge was not about dieting but it is about still having fun enjoying our favorite holiday fare . . . BUT doing so in a mindful manner so you don’t gain weight!
