Man I want a burger !

Yes we are John. It is not as fast as we wanted. Partially because my birthday feel on the 1st of March and I had a birthday dinner with my kids and then my daughter took me out to Micheal Symon's restaurant Roast in Downtown Detroit. We had a really nice dinner, it was a real treat. But we took a few steps backwards, but we are on the right track. Actually both of us have lost almost 40lbs so far. I don't think that is too bad for the 2 months since we have changed our diet.

Keep up the good fight. 40 lbs in two months is great progress! I am down another pound - 172... butt naked on Publix's scale. (I am not allowed to go back in there for some reason though.)



In all seriousness, I was 178 on their scale last night. That is fully dressed, essentials in my pockets, and a .45 caliber Glock handgun in my waistband. I figure the clothes, keys, wallet, & gun are good for 6 lbs of weight. That said, 2lbs to go. But, I am in horrible shape even though I am going back down in weight. The muscle tone in my upper body is next to nothing. Had a few co workers tell me that I was "in great shape before I got hurt", and that they hope I am able to bounce back to where I was.

I have been unable to exercise due to pains in my arm. I am just too sore after a day of work to lift weights. Yet, work isn't enough - because I am not regaining muscle tone and strength.
