I did not watch it but I saw a story about it this morning. He lost 214 lbs!!! When he left the ranch, he had lost 124 lbs. and he lost ANOTHER 90 lbs. at home! Unreal!! I could not even believe the before and after photos. Very inspiring :!:
I don't watch that show but I had to see the changes in this Erik fella for myself. As the late "Frank Barone" would say... "Holy Crap!" :shock:
DERN! Now what is the time frame from the first picture to the second hunky picture? AGAIN....DERN 8)
It really is the same guy! Unbelievable, huh? Last night on the show, he said people really don't recognize him now. There was another guy, Brian, I think, that looks way different! They all looked great!
Yeah, thats the same guy, but he worked his arse off to get there. The only problem with shows like that is that it sets unrealistic expectations for folks like you and me. We can't spend 24/7 working out with personal trainers like they do at the ranch, because we have jobs, lol. Maybe after this baby gets here I'll try out for the show and get down to like a size 3?
They said he lost 215 lbs. in about 8-9 month time frame.! That is an aweful lot of weight to lose in that little amount of time. Talk about determination. He must have been exercising 24/7 and not eating to do that.!
Erik did a great job losing his weight, and obviously, hitting the weights and tanning beds. I just hope once his life gets back to normal that he is able to keep the weight off. If food is his "drug of choice" and what he finds comfort in, he may find the fat coming back once the spotlight is off of him. Sad but true. If you look at the first of his "after" pictures, you will notice what looks like a roll of skin under his shirt near his waistline. Since he lost so much weight so fast, I'm sure he has a lot of hanging skin that he'll probably have to have removed with plastic surgery. That is why I'm afraid to lose weight. :wink: :lol:
