Today I am officially down 25 lbs-- 1/4 of the way to my weight goal of 170 lbs. I saw this weight a week or so ago, but it was water weight loss after working out heavily. Now it is "real" weight loss. On 1 August, I weighed 270 lbs. Numbers on the scale I never dreamed I would ever see. I hope I never, ever see them again. I look and feel better already.
A week ago I ran my first 4 mile in nearly two years. Today, I ran it again, at a faster pace, and for a longer time. In between, I did the crosstraining almost every day for an hour, and sometimes for two hours at level 12.
On the treadmill, walked 1 mile in 17:30 and ran 4.35 miles in 42:30. Slightly better than a 10 minute mile, which is an improvement for me. I am encouraged by the weight loss, especially when I haven't been running and doing the crosstrainer 2 hours a day every day as I did for a while. Eating habits have improved, and moderate exercise is apparently enough to continue the downward trend for now.

You can do it John! Hope your vacation is going well so far. You're probably eating very healthy fruits and veggies while you in TX, and you are probably still running or doing work in the field like plowing or planting corn or the like, right?! Wish you the best. Look forward to seeing you again in the near future, Kelly and Joe
