    I had a whole bunch more but as usual the app ate it. Mainly me whining about not wanting the holidays to be over because I finally get a small break but also wanting to get back to normal!

    Yup, I've always been a big fan of New Years day because that signals it is over and I can get on with things.

    Day 10 in the books! All I ate was chinese food and christmas cookies soooooooo not exactly a win lol

    I'm looking forward to 2018 too. 2017 was great but I'm ready for life to get back to normal. I don't want to wish the holidays away because I do think they're so great but it's not great when you attach your self-worth to your weight.

    Day 11/12 ✔️ another not pretty one but the challenge wasn’t to meet your calorie goal every day... lol

    I’m certain I’m doing better than I would’ve been without this challenge! There’s no way I would’ve been keeping up with my logging accurately all the way up to Christmas so thank you @mfpchris for thinking of and starting this :)

    Great @DananaNanas I logged nine days without getting under goal. I guess now I know how long it takes for me to get a clue. :) I went under goal on Day 10, and then again on Day 11. Three in a row anyone?

    Shoot, I was thinking it is Christmas Eve....we have two more days of logging. Make that 'under goal on Day 9, and then again on Day 10'

    I log my food everyday anyway, have done since January, it keeps me honest, and as someone else mentioned often at the end of the day, I have calories left over. I get to treat myself, and usually I choose popcorn or dark chocolate. Not bad for being on a diet. I have lost 63 lbs as of today, my goal is 70 lbs. Pretty excited, but a little afraid I won't be able to maintain, as I don't know how. Merry Christmas to all!

    Well, arithmetic aside, the idea was that logging and hitting complete would occur on 12/24, and that's the final day of the challenge. Then we wake up on 12/25 and do our own thing (continue logging?).

    Congrats to those who joined in: @nehushtan @mypixiedesigns @Mysticalmudd @clowe1028 @ytai_c @tinkerbellang83 @DananaNanas @fourathomej @Zoey__Jane

    Ah, I had joined thinking the last day was 12/23 which works for me because my family does our big Christmas thing on Christmas Eve anyway. I still bailed early and didn't complete my logging Saturday but I'm happy with 11/12 days :) hope you all had a nice Christmas!
