I remember racing home from my Junior High School in an effort to get to the mail before my parents.

It was progress report week and I knew they wouldn’t appreciate my so called ‘progress.’

Sometimes I’d make it in time to stave off grounding; other times it was no Nintendo for a month.

Progress reports are mostly a thing of the past now with parents having online access to their kids grades.

Yet I still think a progress report is in order here today on July 5th, 2013.

Seven and half weeks ago I challenged any and all who were interested to join me in losing weight and getting fit this summer.

The post was titled Confessions of a Stress Eater.

I suggested using the Lose It app as your guide.

Here were my stated goals:

Current Weight: 208 lbs

Goal Weight: 185 lbs

Now for the progress report…

At three weeks I was already down 10 lbs to 198, then it happened… I stopped tracking.

As of this morning I’m at 200 lbs even and it’s time to get serious again.

So that’s it. A simple public confession to keep me moving in the right direction.

I’ve got 15 lbs to go and I know I can do it.

How’s your progress?
