Skinny CEO is a blog dedicated to helping other busy professionals who have let their careers negatively affect their waist lines.

Skinny CEO authors, Amy Goldberg and Tracey Halvorsen, are Co-Principals of the highly successful interactive agency, Fastspot. While we spent the last 8 years building the agency (which is now doing work with companies including Discovery Communications, Bucknell University and Under Armour), we also neglected our own health and started seeing the repercussions. Not only did we both pack on some extra pounds, we both began to suffer from other health related issues such as pre-diabetic syndrome, high cholesterol, and general depression when it came to how we were feeling about ourselves.

We decided once and for all to put an end to our unhealthy lifestyles and start taking control back - of our bodies and our weight. We began this challenge in August of 2008, and as of today, May 1, 2009 we have lost a collective 73 lbs. and are still losing. We both have set goals that are healthy, and are losing a small amount each week, resulting from making lots of small, easy, intelligent changes in our lives - and sticking with it. We can’t begin to tell you how amazing we are feeling about the positive changes, and we hope this blog will help others that find themselves in our same shoes.

We will be documenting not only how we did it, but how we progress. We want to share with you what worked for us - and let you know that it can indeed be done. You just have to decide to start. There were many factors that have made this the time that worked, and we will include posts about all of those factors as we develop this blog in the coming months.

The most important thing to get you started? You ARE what you EAT. So pay attention.

Sincerely, your blog hostesses,

Amy and Tracey
