Rather strangely, I've not felt the least bit hungry, so this is something I can live with, which is great. I'm sure these rather dramatic weight losses won't continue, but if I only lose a pound or so a week and I can keep it up for a year it'll bring me to a healthy weight.
Good for you, Harry! Getting started on a diet is by far the hardest part.

I'm glad I'm an enthusiastic walker; as far as exercise goes it's mostly accessible (winter can be problematic, but it's not that bad if you dress for it).
