\hspace{-1em} does the trick for the first line of the item, but the  
second line begins in the same column as the following text instead  
of in a column with the first line, as well as too far down. So I tried

\item[\hspace{-1em}] \textbf{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,}

\vspace{-0.5em}\hspace{-2em}\textbf{consectetur adipisicing eli.}

which produced the desired result. Thank you very much for your help,  
Alan!
