Ok, my friend who is in microbiology with me told me that the average american only gains a pound on thanksgiving through new years, I really have my doubts this is true, what are your experiences?  

[Conceptual Misconception]

ive never really gained weight during holidays... Ive actually lost weight recently... so maybe your friend is right XD  

[Almost Poetic]

Nope, it's true. ^^ The average person gains 1lb over the holidays and never looses it. That's the full sentence as I heard it.

NIH Warning about Holiday Weight Gain. Read the first line.

I ran across an article that cited 4-5lbs over the course of the holidays. Don't have the link though so take it for what it's worth.

It makes it feel more manageable to lose though heart

I believe it.

I went on vacation for Thanksgiving.
i ate nothing but...
Cookies, Brownies, Cupcakes, Icing, Ham, Potatoes, Corn, Stuffing, Lots of alcohol. XD Mainly beer... Not the light kind...

And I only gained a pound and I have lost it.

You don't gain as much as you think.
