Man I want a burger !

[Ms Grumpy]

A couple months ago grumpy went to his doctor and his doctor told him that he would not see him again til he watched a movie called "Fat, sick and almost dead". Now his doctor did this because he wanted grumpy to lose some weight. So we watched this movie and decided that we were going to do this crazy reboot.

So last Wednesday we started. We are only drinking juice that I make everyday, many times a day. Now let me tell you, grumpy is a meat and potatoe kind of guy. His idea of vegetables is lettuce and tomatos, maybe peas and green beans....that's it. Well this diet has kale, cucumbers, beets, sweet potatoes, celery along with a variety of fruits.

I love giving him the juices I make everyday and seeing the look on his face. His scowl, and cringe, knowing that he is actually drinking vegetables. I am loving it. lol He is actually doing pretty good, it is me who is having a hard time... I want a burger.

So I was curious, what is the craziest things that you guys have ever had to eat, or were fed by the relatives.

By the way, we are on day #4 and grumpy has already lost double digits.

Nothing crazy that I can think of. Lynda was doing the Weight Watchers meals for a while. I kinda liked it because it was different, some variety.

We just limit the sodium ,sugar and fat ,not that it seems to help. We exercise when were able but my back limits what I can do there.

I gained 20lbs while on workmans comp, haven't lost an ounce yet. I have changed what I eat, and the amount. I thought for sure I would have lost 2-3lbs by now. Went to an Italian restaurant today, I wanted a pizza in the worst way. But, I settled for a small meatball parm sub and didn't eat half of the bread. I left there hungry.

Beef is not part of my diet for over 3 years now. I had to go on a 1200 calorie diet 3 years ago and lost 45 lbs. once you start you can never go back to your old habits if you want to keep the weight off. Looks like I get to drop another 20 lbs since I have slack off.

About two months ago we changed over all our grocery purchases to Organic...following my son and his family's lead.
Things actually DO taste better.
Wife's dropped about 15 lbs...me, about 8 lbs.

Ya coulda had a V8....and veggie burgers are not to bad.!

Well as of yesterday, 17 days, I have lost over 20lbs. And I took David to the doctor and he took him off of 3 of his medications. It may not seem like a lot, but for David it is great. He has lost 17lbs so far. We will start going to the gym and pool this week, I can't wait to see how this will impact our progress.

Since I started this I bought a Nutribullet, which is so easy to use and clean up. It would take me 15 minutes to clean the juicer and it takes maybe 2 minutes to clean up the bullet. Only difference is that it is a lot thicker with the Nutribullet because it grinds everything up and doesn't take out the pulp. But it is working so far.

Congrats! I was down 7lbs Monday. That put me at 183, I have 13lbs to go before I am back to where I was before the injury. Trying to get the rest of this weight off by my birthday. (May 11th)

If not, I know I will sweat off the rest over the summer.
