[suenami]

I was doing a lot of Google searches for competition training/eating and saw a link to this forum. :)

[jen@asuit2remember]

I just met a new suit client...BamaMama and she told me about the site (thanks Jodi). I decided to check it out and it looks great. I haven't competed since 06 and plan on stepping back on stage in Aug. of this year. I am always looking for new ideas and others who love the sport as much as I do. I hope I can get and give inspiration here!

I heard about Lean bodies on another board and was intrigued to check it out.

[Celestial]

Craig Balentyne referred me to this site. I am a TT member and wanted to do a bb competition and he sent me here! It's been really great! Both sites ARE great, actually! The people are real people and really ready to help. I use TT workouts once or twice a week in addition to weight training.

and that's my story!

Welcome to LBF :D

[chantilly]

It all started many years ago in the Oxygem forums. Have been on here since the 06 but only now am I starting to be a active. So I guess you could call me a LBF newbie :)

Welcome!

[PFEPerformance]

Newbee here -
was researching trainers and going through an elimination process of who would be my fit - have been corresponding with Erik who sent me the link to here.

Erik was reccomended by way of some contacts on the O2 board.

[Blondell]

Welcome!

Erik is one of the best IMO. :)

[PFEPerformance]

I'm still in the screening process to find the coach who will fit me and my goals best -but, he's on the top of my list so far!! Had six on the list and down to 2.....

He has gone over and above what he had to at this early stage to answer my questions and help guide me!! :thumb:

[crystlemc]

:o2: , EP, now here. Been here since pretty much the beginning....

[meade12]

I was told about it from a friend! :) I am new!

[dawnr1101]

I saw a link in a blog ;)

[nicole_t]

Hello all, I'm new here from Ottawa, Ontario :thumb:

I found Erik via Craig Ballantyne, who was recommending him to someone on Facebook asking about competition prep.

[Wells]

I saw Erik a few years back when doing some research of trainers. This year when I decided to search again...there he was. It wasn't until just a few weeks ago that I came to my senses :thumb:

[badgerdude]

I was inspired by an amazing old friend and frequent poster of the LBF board.

[Cindy Day]

26,922 is frequent??? :unsure:

:funny:

[badgerdude]

26,922 is frequent??? :unsure:

:funny:

No. 26,922 is obsessed. The only thing I've ever been into that much can't be discussed in public. Ahem.

[K-Man]

I've poked around here and have already learned many things and I can definately see why a person would have so many posts. Let's see...how many does that make for me now?

Not enough :hehe:
You'll quickly learn we are a bunch of jokers too!

[K-Man]

I'm an avid Jeep fan and "frequent poster" of Jeep 'Boards. The biggest difference so far is the people on this site look better and can complete a sentence. Ha.

K-Man - Ileen (Inatic) took the words out of my mouth. :lol3: (FYI: she is my workout partner and bested girl friend.)

Where'd you pull that avi out from? :unsure:

[K-Man]

I'm a noob and here to learn, and for the moment, I'm here to boost my posting count to open up the rest of the 'board. That is what I meant by "how many does it make for me now." I will take care to not offend your greatness.

Oh, and I am also a joker. That is why I posted a 25 year old picture of me with a brick on my head. LOL

[arista]

through siouxcountry :) then did lots of research and liked what i saw!

[orbie]

i scoured the internet and fell upon Erik's website. Now i am here!! LOL!!

[jamistar77]

[jamistar77]

Oops,,LOL last post, wrong thread...

Hi Cindy, my name is Jami, I am a member of LCF and I have been reading yours and Ileens menu posts in Muscle Matters to help me get my nutrition figured out. Nice to see you here as well.

I saw Erik on another forum and decided to check out his website. I was blown away by his client photos! A picture really does say a thousand words.

[sneezingstardust]

Through siouxcountry.com and bodybuilding.com - I saw Erik's posts and have read tons of his articles. Fantastic stuff!

I found LBC through the oxygen magaine forum...but I don't like the oxygen one all that much haha here seems better! :)

[Inatic]

Nessy, here IS better! :wave:

[jen-fit]

I'd heard about Erik through several people. A long time ago I'd even messaged him on Sioux. It was finally time to work with the best!! :)

:hi: Jen

[Epolis13]

Siouxcountry. And not a moment too soon, because I was getting awfully tired of that damn treadmill.

[Belle]

I found LBC through a friend's page on facebook. I knew I wanted to make some serious changes, but didn't know how. LBC kind of fell in my lap. Fate? :D

[trixie42]

I contacted Erik about training and he pointed me over here.

[Fit Lynn]

Hey, I'm new here. I was on bb.com, which led me to SiouxCountry. I still love Sioux Country and will stay there too because there's tons of great info. Erik answered one of my questions on that site and seemed really recommended there. I only wish he was in the US. I'd love to have someone nearby.

Oh, well. I'm sick of trying to figure out how to eat right on my own, give my body what it needs, and not feel hungry all of the time. I always feel like I'm starving and want to :cheat:

I haven't received my program yet but I'm excited to see if it works for me. I think I'm kind of backwards, though. Most girls order a 12-week comp prep/diet from a coach. I do comp prep alone, compete, decide not to compete anytime soon, then come looking for a coach. :wtf:

I lurk over at Sioux. :wink:


You're gonna like working with E. As long as you follow your plan, it'll work. :wink:

[lea]

I just wanted to start a thread to see how everyone got here. How did you find LBF? Or have you been here since the beginning?

recommended by a facebook friend

[KasseyDC]

I found out about Erik through Jen-Fit's FB page. A few quick reads of his blog and I KNEW I had to hire him. I look forward to the spin bike in my basement getting really dusty... hehe.

[bammer40]

On facebook

[Cheri]

I found LBF through Jen-Fit and Siouxcountry. Love the information I am getting. Kinda feel overwhelmed though.

[Erik]

Overwhelmed?

[Cheri]

So much information that will result in a change in my mindset. I am not sure where to start first. change mu nutrition or change my exercise habits or both?

[Cyndi1980]

I found Erik through Jen-Fit's FB page. I look forward to learning and working smarter than I have been!

[Erik]

If fat loss is your goal, nutrition is at the top of the Priority Pyramid.

[Cheri]

Thanks Erik. That helps me narrow it down.

[bcgirl]

I found it through another fitness forum :weightlift2:

[daleebd]

I found LBF through a friend on the O2 forum. I found LBC and Erik through Jen-Fit's page on FB.

[Erik]

Welcome!

[daleebd]

Thanks!

[jlhoefing]

I found Erik on Jen-Fit's FB page also! I think it's great that these tools can bring people with similar interests together! I'm an AF wife & it's super hard making new friends with every move. Especially with my lifestyle!

I completely understand. My hubby is in the marine corps.

[salisem]

Another Jen-Fit GAL here. :)

[cathymp]

I've been on Sioux's site for a long while now and have read a lot of the advice Erik has offered over there. Also, I've known Suzanne Germano for a while (from another site before we both made the move to Sioux's site) as we used to have the same trainer many years ago. I talked with her about getting a new coach/trainer and one of the trainer's she recommened was Erik. So, here I am. I'm a little nervous about a new coach because the last one may have been a bit too intense for me. It was 12 weeks of 2 cardio sessions a day, bike sprints, and weight training on a possible 1200 calorie a day diet with no cheat meals . Needless to say, I went through a rebound. What a head trip that can be.

I'm getting closer and closer to a point where I think I'm ready for a trainer. I'm at a good place mentally and I have a good relationship with food. Also important for me is that I love working out again.

[Inatic]

i think you are going to be pleasantly surprised!

enjoy!

[jlhoefing]

I completely understand. My hubby is in the marine corps.

Do you find that you get alot of pushback from other spouses for being so dedicated to yourself? That's the common trend I've found....

[Bella600]

I found Erik and LBC though Jenny Grothe - cannot wait to begin!

[Shannaks]

Sandi Stuart sent me this way. She's a great friend of mine and has highly recommended Erik. I did some figure comps back in '07 and have since had 2 baby girls and now I want my body back. Time to hire the best coach possible. I have been going through tons of threads reading as much as I can before I ask any stupid questions. I have been learning a ton plus the smiles here kick ass. :yayconfetti:

I learned about LBF from Ileen years ago but it wasn't until I saw Marci's (GlassMamm) post on FB did I reach out to Eric directly and he turned me on to the forum. Lots of great info here! Thanks all for sharing.
