It’s almost as if he only started cycling to become mayor. Watch him fatten up after he’s booted out in ’12 and goes back to driving.
He has AIDS
Haha, geeze.
Why is it that if you’re under 40 or so, you can lose weight and everybody tells you how great you look but if you’re over 40 and you lose weight, you must be dying? I remember seeing a headline in a tabloid recent with Aretha Franklin saying “I’m not dying people, I just lost weight.”
I will agree that once you hit middle age, you can’t pull off the stick skinny look because it just enhances your wrinkles and makes you look skeletal, but he does not look sick or too skinny at all.
What.. Why is this even?
It is funny though. Nice ‘celebrity inside scoop’ parody in the style of People Magazine. Biking does pay off.
that coffee seems to be from seattle’s best, not starbucks.
@1: Man, with how much you conservatrolls hate him, he must be doing a good job and fiscally conservative. There’s nothing you hate more than success and competency.
“success and competency.”
Funniest post in a week. Thanks!
Still Packing it away! http://www.flickr.com/photos/soggydan/57…
I like him better bigger!
@1: I’ll say. He hasn’t exactly rushed out to get new clothes in his new size yet or anything.
Now we’ll have to call him Mike McThin.
Theory: before he was a “guy who biked everywhere.” Now thanks to his rep and the Seattle street cred it bought him, he’s a guy who HAS TO bike everywhere. Plus, he’s mayor and suddenly has a lot more places he has to bike to. Result, crazy weight loss.
Sucking David Hiller’s cock must burn more calories than one would think.
the real story isn’t how the mayor’s weight has disappeared but how he’s disappeared as mayor. Who’s actually running the city?
rude. you would never point this out if it were a woman.
Hmm. well. just don’t post a picture of him in a tiny speedo! just don’t go there!
@16: Ha! Hahahahaahahaahahaahaha!!!
“Click to enlarge.”
Hehehe.
Awesome. Could have sworn I was reading people magazine, bravo.
He’s going to lose his bear fanbase if he keeps this shit up. We want our mayor with some meat on his… bone.
Say something positive about the Mayor…uh…
Mike McGinn: Not as fat as he used to be!
I hope whoever had the idea to publish this kills themselves.
Gives new meaning to his title: The Biggest Loser
@6 – same shit, different logo. Starbucks owns Seattle’s Best. 😉
Please McGinn. No one wants to see you in a bikini.
@26 Keep your mouth shut!!!
Can before and after make out?
This is stupid. If I wanted something this vapid, I’d go read Huffpo.
Funny what a little stress and exercise will do for the body. Good job on losing the weight now the challenge will be to keep it off, good for you Mayor.
You know, when people lose weight, especially a lot of it, sometimes they “forget” that their old clothes don’t fit them as well. Obese people, and formerly obese people are used to having clothes that don’t fit well. Mike needs to buy himself a suit that fits him.
He looks great! I wish him well in continuing to keep the weight off and improving his overall health.
he can lose an extra 10 lbs quickly – off with his head. can hardly wait until he is out of office. biggest mistake the stranger has ever made is supporting this jackass.
Still a bear.
What @20 said. lol… what’s really funny is anyone taking it seriously. I did a double take grabbing The Stranger on the way home. I almost swore it said The Star instead…
Maybe he’s one of 0.5% of Seattle that is using those bike lanes that take up 50% of the street!
