They say that Christmas comes but once a year. Strictly speaking that's true, but the Christmas festivities last longer than a week. Everyone wants to have a good time with the family, but with the geographical distribution of the modern family these days there's no way it can be condensed into just one day. There's Christmas Day dinner in Edinburgh with the wife's family, and Boxing Day meal with the missing brothers and sisters from the previous day. Then it's on to Wales for afternoon tea and a buffet with my family. By then the head chefs are tired so it's out in to town for a three course meal.

I've managed to skip a couple of breakfasts in that time and thankfully I'm still only 15st 10lb. (Most of the major weight gains in my life have happened at Christmas.)

I'm currently shifting a lot of my mindset and methods this week, so I'm jumping off the weeks and switching to days. This is, after all, a whole life kind of thing, right? Besides, I don't like having...

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!
Losing 1.6 pounds is hardly a plateau! You are not going to keep losing at the same rate as the beginning. You should be very happy with 1 pound a week!
Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...
