I'm going into Christmas lighter than I have done for years. I always go to Cyprus for the whole of October and lie/sit about for much of the time. This year I did long daily walks for the whole 5 weeks I was there and only gained 1kg (too much beer every evening). Feeling happy but stoking up the determination to carry me through the next 3 weeks.

I have already planned my fasting days over the hols to fit in with various family gatherings.
I will let myself go a little on the non-fasting days but I have to be careful to stick to roughly what I normally eat because there is an interaction between Warfarin and vitamin K-rich food.
I should hit my target weight at about the end of the winter and will post some 'before' and 'after' photos when I do.
Try not to sabotage the results of all your hard work, folks!

Sounds like you have a plan - good luck with it.
I'm just trying to minimise any holiday gain so that I can actually get lower than my best weight of 2013 before the start of the 2014 TT season - I want to get into a better aero tuck without being impeded by a pot belly!!

Damage limitation for me too over December, usually put about a stone on so anything less will be success 
I am still hoping to ride over 450 miles this month though, which should increase my mince pie allowance

I'd say that deserves a slap on the back only with all that weight loss you may fall over.

Hey,
I better start my log. My wife and I started slimming world back in August after having our first child.
I am 5ft 7in and when I started I weighed 87kg (13 stone 7lbs). I am now down to 75kg (11 stone 11) and have lost an inch off my waist.
According to my BMI I am still overweight and in the past I have been nearer 10 1/2 stone so I still have a way to go. Unfortunately it's not easy as I have about 17% body fat which is better than average for my stats and age group (23) and my body has adapted to the new diet so weight loss has plateaued
.
Going to try and do some running to compliment cycling and see if I can kick start the weight loss.

One of the reasons I took up biking a few weeks ago, was because I seemed to have gained a tyre around my waist. 6 ten mile rides later, the tyre is still sitting there, thighs and backside are much firmer but how long before (If ever) the gut starts to vanish?

That has already been discussed in this thread. For example - on the previous page!

Hi, I've Cycled approximately 14,000 miles in the last 3 years. thats everything, commute to work etc. I do both MTB and Road Cycling.
After 6 x 10mile rides you won't have lost anything other than a little bit of sweat. However, if you keep the exercise going and adopt a sensible food intake at the same time the change will come.

One thing I would like to mention which I don't think has been covered before in this thread ...
I have lost a lot of weight in the past, often pretty quickly, at say 2-4 pounds a week. I experienced an odd sensation each time of my body being the wrong size! It was as though my mind had not managed to make sense of what was happening.
This time, I have done it much more slowly, averaging about 0.75 pounds a week, and it just feels 'right'. A consequence of this is that I feel that I will keep the weight off this time. I feel as though the smaller body is one that I own permanently, rather one that I have borrowed from somebody else!
I am sure that this effect is another explanation for why crash diets never succeed long-term.

Crash diets often fail as people just revert to old eating habits.
