Thanks, and sorry, not meant (totally) as a self-aggrandizing thread, hopefully others will post their before/after pics as well....   The transformations on this site can be quite dramatic

No worries, I like these threads and hope this one grows some roots. I'll post a set of pics as soon as I get a current one this season.

Not sure if I'm more impressed with the weight loss or the GUE/Hogarth gear set up. Either way you're "Doing it Right", (non divers might not get that). I'll see if I can dig up some of my backplate and wing pics from when I was 336# and new ones at my current 248#.

Congrats on the transformation! I'm afraid I would look almost exactly the same, just a few years older! I've been a distance runner all my life, and naturally pretty skinny, so I don't think it's been a very dramatic change since starting tri. My weight's pretty much the same but guessing more of it is muscle. I can tell the difference in my body--stronger core, a bit more upper body strength and definition--but I'm afraid an outside observer could not. Anyway, the photos would have to be in a bikini to show anything, and I refuse to #1 pose anywhere in a bikini and #2 post said pictures on a public forum!

Hah, I was thinking the same thing.  I think I like you and Chris even more than I did before

Congrats on the huge lifestyle change (and keeping it up), Chris!

You could always post 1st tri bike time/pace and then one from a few years later you're an awesome before & after!

Chris, I light incense before a photo of you and chant a lot. You know this

Ziggie & wife, wow!

I  love these threads! 

Strong, strong work everyone :)

Ziggie, doing that as a couple is very cool.

Mine may not be as impressive as my weight gain was pregnancy, but as a shout-out to all the moms who tri:

"Abs" on the way out the door to deliver #2 (65lbs heavier than I am right now). Yes, my daughter was sitting on my belly. I was even bigger with #3 (73lbs bigger than I am now), who will be 4 in July. 

2013:

 

POST UP BTers! :)

Awesome and a diver to boot too.

Ya I recently saw an old picture of me in my wetsuit when I was like 270 lbs and I just sold my old drysuit from 270 lbs.

My 200 lb drysuit is much better.

Congrats to everyone. I should dig up some old pictures and remind myself. Because I am up about 25 lbs this winter.

Let's just say I *needed* that 9 foot hose.  And it took a bit of lead to get me down

Unfortunately, as I started exercising to get in better shape for diving, I started exercising more and diving less  

This pic is actually taken at the top of the stairs that is the exit from the swim from my first tri two years later.....
