OH SO Delish!

Is anyone out there?!! Where are your posts about losing the LARD! I keep checking to see some good pictures or exercise vomiting fun, but no, nothing! Oh well, I guess I can post again. We just had some fantastic burgers that were so flippin yummy....and really healthy. I thought I would post the recipe so you could enjoy too. We made these last year, but they weren't the good-for-you version, Geoff was craving them so we altered them to "fit" our diet. They turned out amazing! Try them out and let us know what you think.

We didn't have any buns, so Geoff went to the store and instead of buns found these

They come in three different varieties and worked out to be the perfect size for our burgers. Much better than a regular bun, or even the wheat buns.

Glazed Bacon-and-cheese-filled burgers:
3 TBS dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. chipotle powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 Cup shredded sharp cheese (use reduced fat if you want)
6 slices turkey bacon (cooked and crumbled)

combine all spices in small bowl and set aside. Form 8 equal patties of turkey. Toss cheese and bacon together and place equal amount on 4 of the patties.
Place remaining patties over cheese mixture and pinch edges to seal. Generously pat each burger with spice mixture. Grill to desired doneness. ENJOY!

Note: turkey Burger is a little softer than beef, so we cooked them on our Foreman grill instead of outside, I think it might be a disaster if you tried the real grill and didn't have something under it.

Anywho, we hope you are all failing, just joking, Please give us some updates on your progress (or lack of) I am glad I am typing this now, because tomorrow I am afraid I won't be able to use my arms!! Keep it up TUBBY!!

Let the WEIGHT WAR begin!!!

The half a can of tuna I had for lunch was so delicious!! Can't wait to have more! I know we didn't cough up the cash yet, but if we could all send it to the Provo Raftery's, we will know what our incentive is, (besides having sex with the lights on!!) I have taken the liberty of posting the first before pics of the both of us. Please do the same if you dare. I think for the sake of my pride, it shouldn't be mandatory to post our actual weight. If we are posting our loss in pounds, or our loss in percentage, I think that would suffice. Let me know your opinion on that one. If anyone finds a delicious recipe that you would like to share, please do. I still want to eat and cook yummy food. I can't wait to be skinny and feel good again. I hope you are all ready to hand over your cash, I am pumped to buy some new skinny clothes!! Love you ALL, you fat lards!!


He wanted a front shot, but he didn't want to look GAY!!

I know the back shots are the most "revealing" so I braved it!
