Yes we have. But not a beef burger, it was a Turkey burger with a hamburger seasoning that we love in it. We had it on whole wheat, low cal buns and we allowed ourselves to have a little bit of mayo, mustard and catsup. COSTCO sells a jar of tiny pickles that if you have 2 it is only like 40 calories, so we had those with the burgers. Was it the same, no, but after having juice and salad and chicken it was a welcome change and the first bread product we have had in 5 weeks. It was good.

So here is an update. We just finished week #6 and I have lost 30lbs, David has lost 28lbs and Lauren has lost 15lbs. I am pretty proud of all of us. We have started at a local gym that has a heated pool, hot tub, indoor tennis courts, indoor basketball courts and all my kids have access to everything at anytime the gym is open. The only one who doesn't is my youngest, Leah. You have to be 15 to swim in the pool alone. Not a problem because all 5 of us go and David has been using the pool to get some stretching exercises and it takes the strain off of his back. My next goal is to have lost 40lbs by my birthday which is early next month. I have a ways to go, but I am making attainable goals.

Great progress! I cheated and had a "real" burger Sunday afternoon at a car show. It was good, but not as good as I remembered. Last weigh in, 179.5 lbs. I am 4.5 lbs away from my goal weight.

Great Job !! Good for you ! I have been holding around the 30lb loss. We have had a crazy few weeks and throw a wedding in the middle, a day out with the kids where we ate at a couple restaurants and it has made it difficult. Also had my 7yr old grand daughter who wants to eat every few hours. Then last week I worked out with a trainer and ended up hurting my leg so I was slow moving. Today was actually the first day that I was able to work out. I will get back on track just been very hectic around here.
