In honor of me breaking the 300 lb barrier and losing 78 lbs so far, here is a comparison of me from Dec 2004, close to my heaviest weight, and about 20 mins ago.

I dont think I exhibit the extreme weight loss that some of you have experiance (great job to everyone who has lost any weight while enjoying cyclying). I dont have any 'real' full shots of my self but i think the two i'm posting show the weight lost. The first picture (me and my brother) was taken durring winter of 2006 I was at 6'3" 240, the second picture was taken fall of 06 6'3" still but at about 210 and with a hair cut!

I enjoy seeing the before and after pictures here 
Would it be too much to make this thread a sticky?

I shave, and also hate it. But I do it so I can look younger.

I just shaved in November....1972! Brian if you can use the cpap mask that uses the nose pillows then a beard is no longer an issue.

, out comes the razor. Right now though, I am working the night shift at work, since the only folks who see me some days are the other bums on the night shift, I only need to shave if I'm going out in public, last week I shaved Monday, then didn't shave again until Sunday..... Really cuts down on the cost of razors, I went from a blade a week, to a blade a month.

That's amazing Tom. I know many people have said this before, but you really are an inspiration. I am currently at 261 and I just started keeping track of my weight loss. I plan on taking pictures every day so I can really see the changes. I had actually never seen a picture of myself recently with my shirt off and I was certainly surprised how much I had let myself go. Hopefully I will be another one of your success stories.

Wow, you guys are really a inspiration... Keep it up...
At 278 pounds I bought a new bike last winter.. This spring I started riding again.. I am down to 255 already. Nothing compaired to what you fellas have done I realize but got to start somewhere :-)
My goal is to be down to 200 by this winter...
Guess I better get back on my bike...

Me at 360, after losing 25 pounds.
And now, or more precisely three weeks ago, me at 248. No, that's not my bike in the photo.

And the current, taken by Neil Fein a month ago. I asked Neil if my shoulders were straight before he took the photograph. Incidentally, anyone who has seen the film "Rocky" will recognize the steps.
