When someone loses a large amount of weight would they look unrecognizable?Any stories.?

It all matters with how much lard is in your face. Some people that are overweight have really big faces. From personal knowledge I was watching T.V. with my step dad and he seen an actor that was extremely overweight in past years and he said "My god he lost weight", myself I didn't even recognize him. So in theory I believe it all depends on how well a person knows your face. And it's basically the same idea as seeing a friend from high school, who you never seen in years, when you are in your 30's.
