I heard somewhere that Elvis had lost weight,and was looking slimmer in August of 1977...was this true???Did he really lost weight in July and August of 1977???On pictures who were taken in his last days and most of all in his last photo he looked slimmer...somebody have more info for me?
:king:
He seemed to look really great from what I can see!:D(y):king:(y)
I doubt it. Seriously. From everything I've read and heard from fellow fans he spent almost all over July upstairs at Graceland.
Also in one of my books, may have been Elvis The Final Years..it describes a scene sometime in August..him and Ginger were lyin' on the bed and were talking and Elvis put his hand over his midsection and said something to the effect of "the boys outta shape".:hmm:
yes elvis did lose some weight by looking at some of the last pics taken of him llike the pic taken of him august 12-77 elvis looks slimmer
I do not know what photo's you are referring to.:hmm:
Could you please share them with us?
well i cant find the pic right now..but i have seen the pic in the gallery.im sure someone will post it..well its not a head to toe pic but we see elvis in his car driving the cadillac entering graceland gates with glasses on waving to the fans..taken on august 12 1977 he does look like he lost weight in that pic he looks goodQuote:

This was indeed taken in the early morning of August 16, and is the last pic of Elvis taken alive (okay, the second-last as there's another one taken a few seconds later but he is obscured).
As for losing weight in June-August, many books suggest he was back to his '75 weight. Which may be true, and would still account for Elvis believing he was still too heavy.
Judging by this pic, however, you can't tell anything ...
I've seen a photo of Elvis riding one of his motorbikes on August 14 1977 returning to Graceland after leaving flowers for Gladys at forrest hill cemetery.And he looked slimmer in that photo.
the pic was taken august 12 -i just bought it from her in 78 she was selling it in various sizes for only 5 dollars back in 78..its prob the same one your talking about lisa ginger are in front seat many believe it was taken on the 16 th but it wasint trust me the date is correct later i will post her story about the pic:king:Quote:

So no matter what Elvis wore outside of his jumpsuits, he didn't look that bad. He just looked like a slightly overweight man. That sundial suit really made him look worst than he was. Look at the footage of him stepping off the plane before his last show. He looked great. Eventhough I'm a big fan of the sundial suit, I don't think it was the best choice for that time.
i see..well its your opinion actually i think the sundial is one of elvis most beautiful jumpsuits elvis was beautiful even in 77 ..i think he should of used 2 piece outfits for all of his 77 tours he would of looked great in those 2 piece suits.he should of used a 2 piece jacket suit like he did in april -may 75 tour for his 77 specialQuote:
