On the first of this month I embarked on a weight loss endeavor. My main goals were to lose a reasonable amount of weight and get into 10K running shape by my birthday in August. I really started at the end of March so it has been roughly two weeks into this. I have been walking/running on the treadmill at least 3 times a week for 40 minutes. Mostly I do this during lunch during the week and then once on the weekend. For eating I have switched to a higher protein intake, reducing/eliminating processed foods and sugars. I would love to get off of artificial sweeteners but I am not there yet by any means. Baby steps I suppose. So today I weighed in. I am down 7 lbs in two weeks. I know this amount of weight loss per week will not continue, but the progress is nice. So that is my good news for today.
Work is good. Busy but I am enjoying it. I have some stories that are in work but still not finished. I do need to improve in this area.
Baby steps.

Woo hoo!!!! Great job! That isn’t easy to do. Requires willpower. Of which I have none.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is fabulous. I am so happy for you.
Good for you. I’ve dropped 27 lbs since January doing the same thing, eating healthier, and exercising 3-4 times a week. I’m at the point where I’m trying to lose the final 5 lbs, but those seem to be the hardest. Keep at it.
That’s a great weight loss! Yeah, that pace won’t continue, but still, getting a response quickly is very motivating! I’m also on a better-eating kick with more protein and less sugar and carbs and it feels great. I’ve added breakfast bars and protein bars for snacks and I think that helps too.
Don’t forget to post a sexy picture, too… that always is appreciated!

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and helpful suggestions. The main thing I need is consistency. I will get to where I want to be. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Congrats!
It’s no easy thing to do (and yet, it’s the easiest thing in theory–if that makes any sense). It’s completely awesome that you’ve kept it up (and keep it up!)
I also agree about posting sexy progress pictures.
I will post some pictures after 2 – 3 more weeks and see how I am progressing. I have until the end of August to meet my goal but I hope to reach it sooner.
Any and all requests will be considered and I will do my best to comply.
