The Incredible Shrinking Man: 20 pound loss Pics

Here is my official "before" picture, may have lost

a few pounds but somewhere in the

neighborhood of 415 pounds.

8/28/11 - Here is the first 20 pounds lost picture (at 392.2 punds).

The changes aren't huge yet but you can

definitely see differences in some areas

(I see it in my face and how the shirt fits me).

Me at 335 pounds (down a total of 80 pounds).
Shirt and shorts are definitely fitting me a lot better and
my feet aren't pointing out as much.

My back seems to be a little bit straighter, the slope from my chest to by belly has flattened somewhat , and the shorts are definitively baggier.

From start 80 pounds ago to now.
That's right, I do in fact have a neck, and as a friend pointed
out my dimples are becoming more well defined.
I also seem to have lost fat around the top part of my head, an area that
never came to mind as an area that could be fat or loose weight.

I am still obviously still really big but I love that I don't have that
bloated, bulging appearance I had in the first picture.

Wow my belly really flattened out in the last 20 pounds.
I was telling April the other day I know I an still significantly
overweight but feel I have changed appearance categories from
"really , really fat" to something less than that.

In case you are wondering I am looking at my cat Guenhwyvar,
who was watching us thru the window.

Side by side comparison...this is what loosing a hundred pounds looks like.

Man that shirt is getting ridiculously baggy on me. My wife doesn't want me to but I think I am
going to get a smaller shirt for these shots. It's starting to look like I'm wearing a tent.
(If I do get a new shirt for these pictures I will save this one for the final batch at goal weight).

Tummy still getting flatter. My arms are shrinking.
What really stands out to me is that my feet look a lot smaller.

People who have lost a lot of weight talk about not really recognizing themselves for a period
while they are loosing. I am starting to understand this because even though I see my face
every day it still looks different than the person I am used to seeing.

Me at 140 down, My ankles (and legs in general) are definitely looking thinner.

271 pounds, 144 down, I am definitely standing up straighter.
The belly is definitely getting smaller too

Here are the infamous "Batwings".

I figured it had been a while since I had done a comprehensive head shot comparrison so here is an updated one.
I like how the fit of my glasses has changed so much...and I thiink for the better
(actually, my wife noticed it first and pointed it out to me).
