Progress!
Yesterday, I jogged 2 miles nonstop. And I felt good when I was done - I probably could have done 1-2 more. That's a pretty big deal for me, since I've never been a particularly strong runner.
This morning, my bathroom scale clocked me at 207 lbs. That's less than I've weighed in over 3 years, and down from a high of almost 240 last fall. 185 is actually starting to sound like a realistic goal.
This evening, I set a new personal best on my bike: 56.96 miles @ 15.7 MPH, in 3 hours 37 minutes. That's 10-15 miles further than my previous best, and about 2 hours faster. Wow.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I'm not sure I'd have found the motivation to do this without this forum.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I'm 6'3" - I won't be going anywhere.
Besides, I like it here.
