You've lost some weight, but your face hasn't changed a bit. Hope you went with the Sierra Nevada or the Lagunitas.

It was all imported Dutch Heineken at the time where Sierra Nevada or Stonewell cider are the weapon of choice now. Improving what I drank was key to the weight loss.

Didn't realise we had one of these threads. Here's me before and on the way to after (still a bit to go )

Here is my before and after .... With a twist! !!!
The first with the leads is me 3 months ago when my GP sent me to the cardiac unit.

The second pic was taken 2 days ago . You can see the scar on my left peck. That's where the pacemaker is located. Finally got the Ok to go back exercising yesterday evening.

I'm up nearly a stone. Going to go for 5k later. .. oooohhhh yaaaaa

No more white-outs please, or this is being referred to the rants thread. What do you think we're going to do? Print out an 'after' picture, cut it out into the shape of a face-mask, and visit your local bank to withdraw your hard-earned spondoolicks?

...and just to be fair...

statss

jaysus Krusty cover your modesty will ya!

Totally expected this to be a Before and After a race thread.

I was picturing a smiley, clean, non-sweaty before pic contrasted by a pic of a shell of a person covered in cuts, bruises, mud and tears, shivering in a space blanket on the side of the road with blood caked into the toes of their shoes.

Do any of you guys get given out to from your better half for getting too skinny ? I'm apparently fine this year, because I'm not doing a whole lot, but last year and previous years when I'd be doing a whole lot more than I am now I'd be told I'm too thin and look sick.

Only last week I met a colleague of my wifes I haven't seen in ages and afterwards she told my wife I'm looking well now and I shouldn't be training too much, same goes from my mother in law.

Oh yeah, sometimes herself says there's not much left to get a grip of. Said I hurt her with my collarbone during a 'workout' recently.

Since started upping the mileage the weight (84KG to 79KG) and pants is falling off me (no more holes left in my belts and only last week had to cut a new hole!)

Great pics lads, very inspirational. May aswell throw my own up.

On the left hand side a couple of years ago before the running bug took hold. On the right pics from the last month few kgs lighter after completing my first full marathon.

Found this "before photo" this weekend. This was the one that motivated me to get off my fat ass and run. Taken during a holiday in Italy 7 years ago, I was starting to look like Michelin Man after one too many pizzas and ice creams. The "after" was during a recent track race.



Running has not done much for my receding hairline though.

No point holding onto the hair, shave it off. You'll gain a few seconds on that track, coming from a follicly challenged man to.

If you guarantee me 3 secs, I'll go for it.

First part of the picture is from 2004, at the 40 foot.

The second photo is from the Fingal 10K (July-14), purely for comparative reasons I had the shirt off running :D:D.

Still some work to do on the belly :eek:

PaulieYifter

We're just updating our company website so we've had the photographers in again - 1st pic was from 2006 - apparently I was more fun back then.
Think its an illusion - it's just the hair I've lost and my ears have grown

(Gone from c. 78kg to 65kg)

Yup, there's a definite trend of the before pictures in this thread looking "jollier" :pac:

I think you're taller than 6'4"! Aren't you? Or am I smaller than I think. I am only about up to your elbow if I am running beside you.

Not a running pic, but before and after all the same - 2008 and 2013 in the 2 photos.

16.5 stone in the before and 10.7 in the after (on the bike) with 2 marathons under my belt by that stage

The first photo is me in 2009 on a golf holiday. I think I had already lost a little bit of weight before that :eek:

The second one is after completing DCM in 2010 after taking up running that year.
