Hello to everyone that may read this. As you know My name is Mike. I had Weightloss surgery on July 6,2004. On my date of surgery I weighed 534lbs. I had high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and lymphedema in my lower legs.  During this time I was working as a truck driver and training in Kenpo Karate.  Yes I was doing karate at 500+ lbs with my legs wrapped up due to the LE. My instructors were very supportive.  After my surgery I continued to train and ended up losing a total of 310lbs.  In April of 2006 I did my first 5 mile race. with my karate instuctor..( he does triathalons) this was like a training run for him.  On May 8 2006 I had abdomniopasty (skin removal and muscle tightening.  On January 27,2007 I earned my 1st degree black belt in Kenpo Karate.  Now I am an assistant intructor and love it and hope to open my own school someday.

Well life does have a way of changing on you.. It's November 18 2008 I'm currently in school for exercise phisiology.  This year I also threw my hat into the coaching ring for the first time.  I was a assistant coach for my sons middle school soccer team. INow I'm head coaching the Basketball team and I'll be coaching the baseball team in the spring.
