So the past few weeks have been great since I started all this. I only weigh weekly so as of this past Wednesday I had lost 10.5 pounds. When I started this I could hardly do a mile on the elliptical without my legs throbbing and me breathing like I had just done a marathon. This morning I pushed myself and did 6 miles. I've also moved my belt in one notch. Feelin' GREAT!!! I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there. Add me if you like!!! I'm doing this not only for myself, but to motivate other firefighters/EMS personnel. Heart attacks are the #1 killer of firefighters in the United States!

    Congratulations on your success! :)

    And I like the fact that you only weigh weekly - think I'll try that myself, lol...

    Anyways, thanks for sharing and good luck on your journey.
