Progress Report: Week 6
Weight: 249.8 lbs
BMI: 35.8
Weight loss to date: 15.2 pounds
WooT!
I blew through the 260’s with relative ease, but lingered in the 250’s a bit longer than I would have liked.
HHHHEEELLLLLLOOO 240’s! Hopefully my stay is short 
These are nice numbers to see, in previous (halfassed) weight loss efforts over the past year or so I’ve gotten down as low as 245, only to come back up rather quickly. Not this time. I’m going to trudge my way through and keep on moving down.
Last week I made a goal for myself to run/jog/walk/whatever 15 miles on the treadmill this week. Here are the results of that:
Tuesday: 3.37 miles (45 minutes)
Wednesday: 1.44 miles (20 minutes)
Thursday: 4.46 miles (60 minutes)
Sunday: 4.31 miles (60 minutes)
Monday: 1.57 miles (20 minutes)
Total: 15.15 miles (205 minutes)
WooT yet again! That comes out to an average of 4.43 miles an hour, which is still kinda slow, but I’ll take it! The lowest I went on the treadmill was 3.5mph, and the highest was 8.0mph (for ONE WHOLE MINUTE!!! haha)
I think for this weeks fitness goal I might try for another 10,000 calories burned in cardio this week. The previous attempt didn’t lead to any loss, but I kinda want to push myself hard this week, so I’m going to try again, this time doing more than the ARC Trainer too (cuz I’m getting into this whole walkjogrun thing).
I didn’t meet my non weight loss goal, which was to work 12 hours of overtime this past week. BUT, I did still get 10 hours in last week (worked 4 hours on Sunday, before I made the goal), and I worked 6 hours WHILE on the goal, so I’m still happy that the paycheck will be a bit bigger. This week is in the same pay period too, so hopefully I can get some more in!
For non weight loss goals THIS WEEK, I wanna shoot for another 6 hours of overtime, AND 6 hours of study time for school. I think that is attainable, but we’ll see 
Hope everyone has an AWESOME DAY, it’s looking pretty good for me so far (ESPECIALLY since Star Trek comes out on BluRay today..WooHOO!!)

Congrats on your loss that is very awesome! And your workouts really paid off. I was hoping for a big number for you and am glad you got it. You’re doing so well!
Keep up the GREAT work, Steve!
HOLLLLLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go head on, Steve! That is ridiculously fantastic! Look at you gettin’ all skinny up in hurr. Congratulations! Could you start posting how much you lost for the week with your stats? To make my life easier? I am super lazy and I need you to feed into my laziness. Please. Feed me.
You are doing the damn thing, Steve. Keep up your motivation and keep up your determination and focus. You CAN succeed and you WILL succeed.
I like the idea of setting goals for the week, I need to do that too. I completed your 15 mile challenge, and it played HELL on my knees but I’m glad that I did it. There is no way I would have ever ran 5 miles for the fun of it last night if I hadn’t felt obligated to hold myself accountable to you! Whether you know it or not, you are a part of my success!
So thank you.
Yay for your loss friend!
Craig-Thanks so much! You’re doing extremely well yourself and have come a long way, so KEEP IT UP!
Jessie-It’s a 2.2 pound loss, if that helps
I can definitely start posting the weekly losses though, I’ve been meaning to do it but keep forgetting! And whether YOU know it or not, you (and everyone else, natch) are a HUGE part of my success too, and you’ve been there since the beginning, which is AWESOME! And I totally knew you were going to complete the challenge!!!! I have a bigger one playing out in my head right now so hopefully you’ll join in on that one too. I hope your knees feel better by then! MWAHAHAHA!
BRANG IT!
