Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

Just lost another pound this past week! Down to 204.5 Have lost 30.5 pounds since October of 2010. I was overjoyed because I cheated a couple of times, had a medium bag of Baked Doritos at a work party, still survived and lost weight. Only exercised twice this week lightly. I'm putting myself in the position to lose a lot more weight if I turn up the exercise on the stationary bike or walking/jogging outside. I've perfectly positioned myself to lose weight, and to keep it off long term. I don't think I will be going to burgers and fries anytime soon. Saw an inspirational movie by Joe Cross last night, about a man who did 60 days straight of the Juicer and is inspiring others to lose along with him.

The movie is called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and the trailer can be found at: http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/

What a brilliant movie. Joe goes on a juicing binge and moves to America from his native Australia. He is an inspiration to a truck driver he meets along the way who then spreads the health message to others and even starts his own juice. The trucker lost 200 pounds from 429 to 229 and was an inspiration to his brother who had a heart attack that almost killed him. In the film, Cross explores the attitudes Americans have which keep bad and ignorant habits going. Fascinating film, a must see for ALL families!

  1. this film was great! saw it with my daughter and some friends about two weeks ago.

    i don't even know how i happened upon yours and your wifes site. could it be from "Liking" "Fat, sick and nearly dead" on facebook, or here as i signed on to follow one of my friends who just joined blogspot? after i signed on, other blogs just showed up moving a long with the little arrow, and here you two are, and talking about weightloss no less.

    however i found you two, glad to see that someone else is taking to this new and exciting health route.

    a few friends and myself are beginning the juice fast in a few days. we're really excited!

    Congratulations and continued good luck on your weight loss journey.

    Take Care!
