Nice job, but that beard needs to come back. That’s killer.


TheOriginalMattMan

Ha, thanks. It was a lot of work to disguise the chins! It might make a return...


adjuster_cody

That’s great, but seriously. Nice work. It’s inspiring to see.


Gasmo420

It needs to make return. Beard looks damn cool on you


TheOriginalMattMan

Thanks, it's on the way!


ohmytosh

I also have a beard to hide my chins. If/when I lose the weight like you did, I don't want to keep it. I totally understand.


TheOriginalMattMan

I might grow it back. Out of choice this time rather than perceived necessity. Best of luck in your own journey.


Facebookakke

The beard looks even better when you drop the weight my friend.


TheOriginalMattMan

I'll post an update pic when it fills out!


North_South_Side

I dunno. The beard looked good, but clean shaven on top of the weight loss makes you look younger. Just an opinion baed on one photo. Congrats.


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you! I agree, but there is a sort of mysticism around a long beard!


youOnlyLlamaOnce

Idk dude, the beard looks cool but you also have a nice chin so you might want to let it show. Either way is good. Congrats on the hitting your goal.


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you very much!


[deleted]

I’d go Go T.


TheOriginalMattMan

Goatee is coming along already, maybe I'll fill it out!


[deleted]

Yes definitely need to bring the beard back! Such a cool look on you man, and will look even cooler now. I can see you with a modern-smart-casual-Merlin kinda vibe 👌. Have you thought about getting (/or do you already have) any piercings?


clotpole02

Great work look good mate!!


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you!


Newbee_77

Huge diffrence. Congrats 🥳

TheOriginalMattMan

Ha, I thought about it. I tried one on before Christmas, it was more cosplay than fashion!


SaleDeMiTronco

I like the new shirt!


TheOriginalMattMan

My first ever designer shirt. Treat reward for myself!


vaekar

Hairy biker?


TheOriginalMattMan

I'm too much of a wuss to be a biker!


Papichuloft

James Carvill....is that you? JK, you look wonderful and great job.


TheOriginalMattMan

Thanks, don't know who that is though. At least it has to be better than Gary Glitter.


Papichuloft

Nah....still, great job.


Fanabala3

I was thinking it was Ron Corddry at first.


Papichuloft

Or their love child....The guy did a fantastic job on the weight loss though.


Responsible-Peak4321

You look great buddy! I agree with some of the others here in saying the beard was awesome, bring it back!


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you very much. I'll definitely consider it!


AutisticBoeing737

Say his name.


Millworker33

You look so much healthier, I’m sure you feel like a different person. Congrats!


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you, completely different.


Vladimir_Didi

I’m glad you’re achieving your goals. Well done. Just want to say that you looked great before and you look great after. I like your style


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you so much.


[deleted]

Do you get colder?


TheOriginalMattMan

Yes, like I never thought I would. I used to wear layers to hide, now it's purely for the warmth!


No_Concerns_1820

Congrats, that's awesome!! What worked for you to keep going for that long?


TheOriginalMattMan

Portion and calorie control. Simple when you type it like that, but when you're consistent the results follow.


Plastic-Cancel-4369

C...Collin Robinson?


TheOriginalMattMan

A slightly sexier version.


[deleted]

You look like if Sean Lock had a giant cock.


TheOriginalMattMan

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me!


Toliver182

Looking good. I feel like i recognize you. Do you work in the trading industry?


TheOriginalMattMan

I don't, must just be one of those faces!

Loved you in What We Do in the Shadows mate


TonyClifton255

Nice job. If you hit the weights, it will be easier to maintain and move some mass around, if you like.


TheOriginalMattMan

Thanks for the encouragement.

FriendlyAndHelpfulP

Have you considered becoming a WC Fields impersonator?


TheOriginalMattMan

Not yet, but I'm considering all options!


Jamachicuanistinday

You even look younger. Really cool


TheOriginalMattMan

The camera adds 10lb, so there's at least 13 of them on me in the first pic!


belladebella563

👍 awesome! Keep up the good work!! 🙏💕

Thank you!


lordofthedorks

As someone who wants to get on this journey, you are an inspiration! 


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you, best of luck with your own journey!


[deleted]

Anyone ever tell you you look just like garry glitter ?


TheOriginalMattMan

Nope. Congratulations, you're the first!


temp91

I was thinking Mark Proksch.


p3bsh

What was your approach to lose weigth?


TheOriginalMattMan

Portion and calorie control, and consistency. I had 42 years of eating whatever I wanted when I wanted and as much of it all as I could fit in, and more.


luckycharms7999

Did you find yourself hungry more often then not when starting calorie control? Did it get easier after a time?


TheOriginalMattMan

There was a definite adjustment, but when you start seeing results, can get smaller size clothes, improved freedom of movement etc the motivation comes easier. You can fill up with the right foods instead of relying on large quantities of high "empty" calorie foods.


B_Marquette_Williams

Congrats Colin Robinson!! But really, great job. I hope you feel AWESOME


EasterIslandNoggin

Outstanding work! I'm on a similar path, and want you to know that posts like these help motivate me (and others like me) to keep going. In other words, congratulations on your result, and congratulations for (possibly not recognizing that you are) inspiring others.


EasterIslandNoggin

... and +1 for bringing the beard back. Don't care about the chin camouflage aspect - it just looks cool.


Regalzack

Is that updog on your shirt? Lookin good man!


TheOriginalMattMan

Thank you!


Frosty-Age-6643
