Wow moment, I am going to be on the local TV commerical!

Hello my fellow April WLS buddies! Well I know some of you know that I have been going to the gym for the last 5 months. Well the last week, they posted up sign up sheets for anyone that wanted to be on there TV commerical. Well, I am the type that is very shy and quiet but I do open up and speak my mind to some people. Well one of the trainers/monitors at the gym over heard me talking about the commerical and last week and I said that I would not be signing no paper.... Well, come to find out the trainer put me down for it... Well yesterday morning I am there doing my strength training rountine and I am checking off my activities that I have completed and tell my trainer that I am going to do my 30 minute cardio on the treadmill. Well low and behold all the treadmills are surrounded with all these flood lights... I am saying to myself what is up with this...well I the lights were off when I started and I am going along and about 20 minutes into my cardio... BAM! here is the lights and here rolles in the camera crew... I am just sweating like a wet rat... and going with the beat of my MP3 player..... I here action! from one of the guys... I just looked down for a secound and then looked up and kept on walking with a grin on my face... and had a cheer squad going ...... I was over welmed and I could have kicked my trainers rear end for doing that... But I am going to be on the TV commerical! I just had to share this with you all.. Take care, Tom 536/356/250 -180 lbs -

Tom, Congradulations !!! It couldn't happen to a better person. You are working so hard . That comercial may help millions of people. I think we all know what it feels like to walk in the gym for the first time. Your trainer must be very proud of you. I know I am !!!!! What gym do you go to? See you lighter. Joanne

Way to go Tom!!!!! You are doing great!!!! Teresa

WAY TO GO, TOM! I'm so proud of you. Wish I could see the commercial here. By the way, how's the romance going? Haven't heard much lately. Judy

wooohooo and yay for you Tom. You see, this surgery not only is changing you on the outside it is changing you on the inside-- in a positive way. You are an amazing example of hard work and achievements. Good on you, and I bet you inspire someone else to come into that gym and work out. hugs from down under Helen
