For people with a lot of weight to lose
Hi folks,
As most or all of us know by now, the WLS isn't the beginning and
end of what needs to happen for us to lose weight, get fit, become
healthier, and maintain that longterm. This goal takes more than
just WLS, which only addresses the food consumption piece of it, and
the rest we still have to do if we want to experience success with
the tool of WLS.
I came across a good article that I thought would be of interest to
a lot of us. I find it quite interesting! It has some really good
useful information that you might want to think about in terms of
your own goals, and some tips that might help you in getting there.
It is not written for post-ops specifically, but rather for people
with a lot of weight to lose (I think most of us qualify or
qualified!). It is written by a bodybuilder and personal trainer
named Jeremy Likness, who himself was obese in the past and works
with obese and morbidly obese clients now. Earl, when I read the article, I thought about you! Maybe you should think about being a personal trainer, even in your *free time*? 
Please let me know what you think of the article.

Here's a little teaser, which is the opening of the article:
"This article is to help those who have a lot of fat to lose. It is
not for the experienced bodybuilder, preparing for a competition, or
even the fitness enthusiast struggling to drop those last 5 or 10
stubborn pounds. This is for those who have a long ways to go. It is
for those who always dreamed about being in shape, about fitting
into jeans with a 32-inch waist but right now are still struggling
with that large silhouette in the mirror. It is for those who
realize that they may not achieve their goals in 4 or 8 or even 12
weeks, because they have to drop an amount of fat equivalent to a
small child.
As the opening quote suggests, the "answer" to good health and
weight loss has been known for thousands of years and is simple.
Doing what it takes, however, is not so simple - there are a number
of reasons why dropping excess fat can be quite a struggle. I am
keenly familiar with the struggle. While I lost over 65 pounds of
unwanted fat, after struggling with the extra weight for most of my
life, the clients I work with have had twice that much or more to
lose! It is a tough battle, but it is one you can win."
With kindest regards, Donna E.
