<human>: I'm too heavy, so I started running last saturday.  I've run every day since.  Usually I walk every half mile or so and usually finish at 1.5ish miles.  Tonight after a busy day I got to run and didn't really stop.  I ran 1.9 miles around my college campus.  I use Runmeter on my phone and it said I ran faster than I every have before.  I've been loosely dieting (eating less at the cafeteria), but my impulse control is shit and I couldn't resist getting ice cream earlier today or getting Canes on the weekend (if you're every in Mississippi, go to Canes.)

I'm proud of myself.  I know I've lost weight, but I don't know how much.  My clothes fit better and I can actually walk up stairs without being out of breath!  I've been breathing better and sleeping better.  I feared that I was developing sleep apnea because it runs in my family, but I know that if I stay active I can keep it at bay.  I'm proud of myself.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I've lost weight by running every day for nearly 1.5 weeks and I was able to run 1.9 miles nonstop today.
