Michael’s Progress – Month #4

Phew! The holidays are over! Although he admits that the past month has been tough, Michael’s efforts have continued to pay off. At his official weigh-in, the scale read 412 pounds!

Besides losing weight, Michael has made GREAT strides in improving his strength and cardio training. With a smile on his face, he’ll tell you, “I just feel better!”.

He’s “the incredible disappearing man,” states Sarah Celine Elliot of Sarah Celine Photography, who meets with Michael once a month to photograph his progress. Note: Michael’s January portrait will be posted later this month.

Be sure to watch Michael’s fourth official weigh-in that aired on WFRV’s Sunday Morning News (01/10/10). His progress is also being tracked monthly in Nature’s Pathways Magazine.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Luke’s Celebration of Support (aka “the big party”) will be held Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 4-11pm at Waverly Beach in Menasha, WI. For more info, visit the “Benefit Info” page on this website.
