A Washington, DC, TV weatherman showed off his incredible 55-pound weight loss in shocking before and after photos.

Steve Rudin, a senior meteorologist for ABC 7 News, shared a personal update with his audience showcasing his transformation from weighing 229 pounds last October to 174 pounds a year later. 

‘The last time I weighed this much, I was a senior in high school. For perspective, I weighed 190 when I moved to DC in December 1995,’ Rudin wrote in a Facebook statement.

Rudin explained during the last 12 months his body measurements have undergone a drastic change. 

His waistline dropped from 38 to 32 inches, his suit size changed from 46 to 40 and his t-shirt size went from XL to medium. 

‘I’ve had to replace my entire wardrobe, which is a nice problem to have. An expensive one, but nice,’ Rudin wrote on social media. 

Rudin has previously shared old photos of himself dating back to 1996 when he first started his career compared to his appearance now. He joined ABC 7 in 2006.
