Major League fart...

I took the family to Detroit this weekend to watch our Tigers maul the anemic ,defending World  Champions. (apologies to Card fans everywhere), and sweep them in a 3 game series. Usually, I get tickets in "terrace seating", because the seats are larger. However, it's tough getting tickets this year, and I was forced into stadium seating. In years past I would literally have to wedge my fat azz into one of these seats. NOT this year. I fit. Not comfortably, but I fit. In years past I would have spent nine innings gorging myself on hot dogs, sausages, beer, nachos, pretzels, ice cream... you know the drill. Not this year. We had dinner before the game, and even though I could smell all the enticing aromas hanging all around me, I never felt hungry. I had a water, and was completely content. I didn't even realize I hadn't eaten anything until after the game was over. What a difference from a year ago. I guess my point is, people can change. WLS has changed my life, and I just wanted to share. DD

Ahhh, but it gets even better. Imagine the satifaction of sitting down in the seat and having room to slide sideways! Keep up the good work!

DD, Good to hear that you're already reaping the benefits of WLS.  There's more to come.  Keep up the good work. Floyd

Cool, DD!
I don't know about Comerica, but, you'll know when you're at goal weight when you can fit in one of those tiny seats at Fenway without bruising your hips!
(I guess there weren't too many over 400 pounders around in 1912)
Congrats to your Tigers for sweeping the Cards... That's what they get for taking down the Mets in game 7 last year!

Be Well,
A.J.

AJ, 10-4 on the older stadium seating. 17.5 inches was the seat size at old Tiger stadium. Comerica park is 19 inches across, to adjust for a "growing" population. Still pretty snug on my enormous buttocks, but doable.  June 9 I'll be back in Motown to watch my Tigs Mow-down the Mets.  I'll keep you posted. DD

DD, It sounds like you had a great time.  Congratulations. I know what those seats are like.  I'm looking forward to not having to request handicap seating just so that I can fit.  My son and I attend Scranton Yankees games (AAA) and this year I should have no problem fitting into the regular stadium seats.  So far I have lost 14 inches in my waist and hips.

Well its about time we got a major league fart from you!!  I was beginning to think you had lost the Tigers gene with your rapid weight loss. You and JIm Leyland got it going this year looks like. Enjoy the butt kicking,...you've waited long enough to dish out what you've been enduring.

DD I know it is a great feeling.  I am glad you had a great time.  Wait until you get onto an airplane and you fit in those coach seats with slack on the seat belt and room enough for your try table, another great feeling. Keep it up loser. Chris
