He's so skinny now that his glasses look too big for his face!

I guess he's just making them and not eating them.

weird, thought it would be more like the tongs, that type of stuff. Haven't you notice the older you get the bigger the glasses are until you get those little ones that hang on your nose and you look over because they are so scratched you can not see through them.

I think he looked healthier before. I didn't think he was overweight before and looked good.

The weight loss has aged him. Hopefully his skin will catch up with the weight loss. The glasses don't seem to be helping.

I noticed that he was a bit chunkier when he did the Welches commercials, but not to the point of unhealthy. With that said, extra weight can cause many people's cholesterol to rise so maybe that was the reason for the diet.

It did age him, but with my weight loss I have also had more lines and wrinkles show up in my face. Guess it's just one of the side effects you got to put up with. As, for the glasses, AB should do away with the horn rimmed ones and go back to the lighter looking wire-framed ones.

His dramatic weight loss was the talk of the event. Several other fans commented on him being very thin. One man I talked with said he had lost over 100 pounds and there's a bounce back that happens... his was 30 lbs. So he thought Alton may have factored that into his plan.

I hope.
