Encouragement!

Hey everyone
I just wanted to post some encouragement here -- this is from some notes I made after I lost 14 pounds in about 4 months doing no-S.

Successful loss sure makes you want to keep doing it, especially when what you have been doing is manageable – an easy 2-mile walk every couple of days, no dieting (just no-S on weekdays).
You go a week, you lose ¾ of a pound, you have some chocolate and dessert on the weekend. Monday you start another easy week of what has now become routine and you know you’ll be ¾ of a pound lighter (on average) at the end of the week, and be eating dessert again for a couple of days. What’s not to love?
You get thinking, ‘hey, this is easy, I could do this forever and just keep peeling off the weight!’ And, the walking part becomes a piece of cake after you lose 10 pounds, because you feel lighter as well as more energetic – so longer, faster, or more frequent walks are possible and that just helps the weight to come off even more.
