Average Weight Gain Over The Holidays

I just read today that the average weight gain over the holiday season is eight to 10 pounds.

It's not just those two huge holiday meals that'll do us in.

It's the two big meals PLUS potlucks, holiday lunches with the co-workers, fast food while we're out shopping, cookies, candy, and perhaps worst of all, the goodies brought into the office by the (usually skinny) co-workers to "share" with the rest of us.

This is a hard time to try to lose weight. However, it's not quite so bad if you just try to maintain.

As the experts say, if you eat right 80% of the time, the other 20% won't be so bad...
