Still OK. The Christmas party period is pretty well over, and I'm mostly back on the wagon. Last Saturday's housewarming was a bit of a mistake, costing a couple of days.
I'm about 50 pounds down so far. (Says he, converting out of imperial units into neo-imperial ones.) Not as much per day as you've managed so far, but (restating the obvious) that first week is the one where you do lose a lot, and the second and subsequent ones are when you see the long term rates.
What's nice is that, being so much lighter, walking distances is much, much easier. And I have much more bounce when not carrying around a full rucksack worth of extra weight (a well distributed extra weight, but extra anyway). I could stop now and feel that I'd done well, but I'd really prefer to get below the 'overweight' band while I'm at it.
The difficult bit at the end will be not going back onto the grazing behaviour that so easily puts the pounds back on.
