The Prodigal Son Returns....

Hello Everyone on the Nutrition Board...

I have been away for a very long time from this board, while I sorted out my life.  I really want to get involved again, and I am finally taking that first step.

Having started my journey at 408 pounds, then going through some hard times and getting down to a scary 148 pounds, I prayed and prayed on it until changes had finally happened in my life.  I became involved with EAS Body For Life and the 2008 Body Challenge, and I started serious weight training and eating right.  My prayers were finally answered, and I am doing so much better now - I have gained a large amount of muscle and I am feeling so amazingly wonderful...

Folks have been writing to me and asking about my whereabouts and what I had been up to.  For recent photos and my online blog of my weight training adventures, just check out my web page at:

I hope to be on here more often now, and getting back into life.  So many of you have been so incredibly encouraging and supportive, and I want you to know that I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I love you guys!

- Michael

Hi Michael - I'm kinda new around here, so it's nice to meet you.  I checked out your link - wow!  What an amazing transformation.  The muscle gain challenge is doing wonders - you look great! Hope to see you around more! Pam

Hey, thank you very much, Pam!  I appreciate it!  Nice to see you too! :) - Michael

HI MIKE, I AM NEW ALSO.  DID THE WORKOUTS HELP KEEP YOUR SKIN FROM GETTING "FLOPPY".  THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WORRY ABOUT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I HAVE A HUGH "APRON" IN FRONT OF ME.  NO I HAVE NOT HAD SURGERY YET BUT AM LOSING WEIGHT FOR APPROVAL. THANKS.
