Philly Paralegal Leads Pack in Weight Loss Challenge

By Lynne DeVenny

?Be a 10 in 10 Weeks? is the name of NBC Philadelphia?s weight loss challenge issued to four non-stop careerists, including paralegal (by day) and celebrity blogger (by night) Hughe Dillon, who?s lost 10 pounds in three weeks by working with a trainer about five times a week.

Dillon shared the reasons for both his weight gain and his motivation to get back in shape:

I live in the Art Museum section of Philadelphia. As the traveling paralegal for The Firm, then creating the online social diary, I slowly packed on the pounds and stopped exercising.

Recently, my sister was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and she asked me to take care of my health and lose some weight.

That conversation along with the fact that it is becoming increasingly harder to keep up with the demands of my nighttime career (photographing folks or celebrities where you have to stand on ladders or walk quickly, usually backwards) has motivated me to get back into shape.

My goal is to lose about 50 pounds to start, and eventually 80 pounds.

Dillon blogs about Philadelphia celebrities at PhillyChitChat. You can also follow him on Twitter.

Practical Paralegalism is rooting for both Dillon and his sister.
