Hope this is a good sign? If not, pipe up.

I was kind of out of it myself because of my medical
lay up, so here's my attempt to catch up a bit:

Tom, I didn't get a chance to thank you for your long
post Monday. You're right, the financial implications
of the nosdiet are not insignificant! 

Hana, welcome. You're not the first person who's come
to the nosdiet having done something basically
similar. I hope the simple mnemonics and this group
make it even easier to stick to.

Bonnie, that's an impressive haul, between you and
your husband. As far as I know, you're the first
husband and wife nos-dieters. May there be many more!

Lee, I'm happy you seem to have found your stride. 3
weeks is my magic number, you know...

Maxine, it's got to be extra tough working in fast
food -- you have my extra sympathy. If food on the job
is a real danger, you might want to write it off
entirely (not sure how feasible this is). As for time
constraints (you mention you're a student too), at
least the nosdiet is time efficient. But exercise, as
you mention, is going to be tricky. I'd recommend
trying to squeeze in *something* regularly, however
modest. I can't do shovelglove for the next three
weeks while I recuperate from surgery, but I'll make
sure to devote that 14 minute daily block to some form
of exercise every day. I think carving out the time is
the crucial step, and not carving out more than you
can stick with is the key to doing that successfully.

Best of luck to all,

Reinhard
