Hey Brotha, how you been feeling? Yes, I am feeling good, I have hired a trainer and things are going great. Amazingly I live in tiny Bamberg Germany and on my base there exists a Trainer who is writing his Masters Thesis on Exercise and Bariatric surgery, that is finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Anyways he is talking about marketing his story to the Muscle and Fitness magazines and asked if he could use me in his story, the thought of me being in a fitness magazine, WOW. Anyways how's life?

Your Avatar is so delicious I had to see your before pictures. WOW! You look awesome!

Your before and after pictures honestly made my eyes water... you look amazing!

What an inspiration you are.

Ok will do, it is amazing I am sure this stuff isn't new to you, but sometimes I get so down, but you'd think I would be so happy. Anyways a little about me, I have always been a large athlete, not a lot of talent but a whole lotta heart. That is how I compete, by not giving up. I just could never get the will power, and once I couldn't participate in athletics anymore well I couldn't work all the calories I would consume. I work out alot in the gym, but then I would always chase that with a king size double whopper meal. So no benefit. Anyways, (my favorite transitional word I ve noticed) so far the surgery has curbed the double whoppers! I just need to learn I don't need me permanently you know.

From one Eric to another, I was just noticing your stats, besides the obvious were both Eric's and tall, I am just about 6 foot 6 our pre-op weights are real close, I don't know the highest weight I have ever been, but the 443 I weighed before surgery had to be down about 30- 40 pounds from where I was. Anyways I gotta say, you will soon be "half the man" you used to be! That is awesome! You are an inspiration to me, I hope to achieve the same one day!

WOW DesertBear!!! You look gorgeous!!!

You must feel fantastic?!

I miss this place sooo much - don't get much time to spend on here at the moment - perhaps in the winter months I can spend some time with the Peeps again

Hugs and kisses
