On a personal note, weighed in this morning and I'm now the lightest I've been since first year of Uni (first year cooking for myself when I kinda...didn't so just wasted away). Almost 14kg lighter than my heaviest Christmas before last, down about 8-9kg this year (lbs multiply by 2.2). Strangely enough because I've been getting sick on and off for the last few months I've actually done it without consistent exercise leaving me in a position where I look the best I have for ages, but I'm actually fairly unfit atm. Hopefully can do something about that going forward. Always figured it would be easier to get fit when I wasn't carrying the extra weight, so time to find out.
