      A far cry from the 40 pounds I wanted to lose, but I'm still happy to be 10 pounds lighter from July 31! It's about 2 pounds a month (0.5lb/week) which is reasonable. I have big plans for 2017, but for now I'm pretty content. Hoping to see 172 by Christmas so here's hoping for another whoosh of weight loss!

      I guess temptation won this week. Basically ate a crap ton of candy that is meant for my kids' stockings. Tootsie rolls are my weakness. 4 lbs from my goal isn't a bad way to end things.

      Only just missed out on my target, and just 1lb more than my original pre-challenge christmas target of 175lbs. Very pleased with my progress this year - hoping to maintain over the next week then back on it in 2017 to get to my ultimate goal (probably around 150lbs).

      Merry Christmas everyone!!
