Could be. Funny you mention that. When I first met him (he is a teenager in our church who has been with us for 3+ years) he saw the big me. He has been with me through the transformation.
Thanks for the comments. I know it is inspiring to me to see other people's pictures, so I decided to slap mine up there.

Well, I haven't been on the forums around here much.... or really at all. I didn't really even know they existed. I have been frequenting other forums even though I have been logging my running here on RunningAhead since July.
It is really cool to see these transformations, so I figured I would add mine. Maybe I will poke around the forums a bit more now that I have found them.
I will save all the details, you can find links to my details here (and some more pics): http://www.2big.org
My basic details are:
Was 258 with a waist of 46' last Christmas 2006.
Currently 178 with a waist of 34'
Loss of 80 lbs this past year
Still 10 to go for my current goal, 10 more for my next goal, and maybe changing that once I get there 
Started changing the walking to running in March, ran my first 5k in May (36:37)
Ran multiple 5k's since then (running one today), one 10k, one 8k, and will be running my first half marathon in February.
Current PR's
10k - 1:03:59 (July 4th)
8k - 40:09 (Dec 15)
5k - 25:02 (Dec 31)
Half Marathon Distance (training only) - 2:07:33 (Dec 22)
OK, now to the pics:
Late 2006:
Dec 20th:
I hope to get around the forums a bit more if you all will have me |

Thanks all, it has been a long journey, but well worth it all the way.
I got a new PR today on my 5k, I am not sure my official time, I will have to wait till it gets posted tonight, but according to my watch which I had trouble getting to stop at the end, my time today was around 24:30 ish. give or take a couple seconds. Whooooo Hooooo! It was a nice run, called the chiller challenge.... but it was only 64 degrees Hardly a chiller.
By the way, how do I get the forum to send me e-mails when there is a reply? I couldn't find it. |

Eddy, you never cease to amaze me. That is fabulous.
My wife told me you look like a model. Of course, I'm not entirely sure what you're doing with that hand in your pocket  |

My weight loss isn't nearly as amazing as everyone else in this thread but since that's how my return to running began in '06, I figured I'd share.
Me in 2003 at 5'7 and around 190-195 lbs.
A blurry picture, but this is me a few weeks ago at about 154 lbs.
