138 Inspiring People Showing What Willpower And Hard Work Can Do
Many of us could probably benefit from losing a couple of pounds. But let's face it, exercise is hard work, especially when there're so many things to distract us from it (like eating. And sleeping. And Game of Thrones marathons). But as you can see from this before and after list compiled by Bored Panda, the people who uploaded these pictures weren't so easily distracted. Realizing that they needed to lose some weight, they didn't just shed those unwanted pounds - they shredded them! Real beauty is on the inside, as we all know, but it doesn't change the fact that these bodily transformations are nothing short of incredible. Do you have any before and after pictures like the ones below? Then feel free to share them with us, and don't forget to vote!

The Difference A 70 Lbs Weight Loss Makes On Your Face
Awwww he must have no idea how handsome he really was <3 Congrats!! ^ ^
It's not just the weight that's the only difference here, hah, his hair style is different, too. And it's pretty obvious that as photography is an art form, lighting and foreshortening actually make a difference. Other than that - good for him on doing what he wanted to feel better about himself! =)
The Prince was always in there somewhere - he was just waiting to be found.
I grew up with asthma; I suffered sinus and respiratory infections my entire life. I started smoking at 16. When I was in my early 40s, my asthma was becoming increasingly worse. I was diagnosed with COPD at age 47. I am now 55. I quit smoking four years ago. The disease does not improve. My good days were far, i was scared that i wont survive it but i was so lucky to receive a herbal products from my step father who bought it while coming from South Africa for Rugby league, this herbal remedies saved me from this disease, at first it helps fight the symptoms of diseases and i was seeing good outcome, i had to use it for 13 weeks just as they Dr was prescribed and i was totally cure of asthma and COPD, (multivitamincare org ) do not hesitate to purchase from them they deliver across worldwide.

You can see it in the lips and the faint divit on her chin
Load More Replies...Some of you commenters need to get a life, analyzing freckles and s**t to determine if it's real or if someone is trying to pull a fast one on you. Believe it or not, some people really do have what it takes to drastically change their lives for the better, and they're out doing it, while you sit on your computer playing internet sleuth
i also doubt it s the same woman but about the freckle..on the second pic it would be anyway covered by makeup

What is wrong with you people any excuse to criticism get off your a*s and use these as inspirations. See how her hips have no shape, that's where her skin is I've had 5 kids I know what im talking bout. Allot of people are embarrassed about there loss skin, see how skinny her neck is compared to the rest of her body that's her skin she's covered. She looks wonderful!
Face proportions change just as much as the rest of the body. Eyes and mouth tend to look bigger and the nose also chages shape. I've personally seen these changes when i lose (or gain) weight
Load More Replies...What an inspiration! Makes me want to get up and go for a run lol She looks amazing.
What did she do with all that loose skin? It must cost a fortune to remove it all!
This is from reddit progress pics. In fact most of them are. Yes this woman had gastric sleeve surgery.
It also has a lot to do with light and shadow. The "After" photo is much darker; also she isn't smiling in the first pic. Way to go!!!!
She looks great. Mega weight loss is an ordeal and this lady is very brave. My only question is where is all the flapping skin? At 180 she still has a way to go. I've recently lost 75 pounds (from 280 to 205) and I'm flapping all over the place.
I would expect surplus skin hanging .. if this is the same woman probably there have been some operations?

an incision around the lower waist and a dr can remove the excess skin
Load More Replies...Exactly!! Most people have no idea this is what your stomach is going to look like! I am planning to go from 230lbs to 130lbs and I am prepared for this to be my future stomach!! Nothing to be ashamed of ever!!
I applaud you!!! You are not afraid to show ALL of the 'after'. I too have only lost 40 so far. I am in a wheelchair and not able to exercise so it is REALLY slow. You are so proud and I can see it in your face. You've done something remarkable. I am proud for and of you.
Corrective surgery fir this shoukd be FREE! What an accomplishment!!!!
I think she looks great in third photo. I might not want to show myself like that to strangers but once people got to know me they would my wrinkles as 'battle scars' and would learn to appreciate my hard work at getting them. Well done, you inspire me.

My 70 Lbs Weight Loss Progress (October 2012 - September 2013)
She looks really good. They say when you lose weight you tend to look older sometimes, but in her case she looks younger.
That's interesting. I've been told the opposite since I dropped about 60 lbs (still have 50 more to go); people say I look 5+ years younger. I guess it just depends.
Load More Replies...Her boobs on the third picture are clearly airbrushed, or makeup. The curve at the top and its shadow don't look ordinary.
Some women's boobs do that when their bras to small and they got larger breast . no t airbrushed buddy just pushed up to high

yeah that has been an ongoing question in looking at a lot of these. Some people who were double their weight, and don't have lose skin? I get age of weight loss and genetics play a role, but losing over 100+ lbs in a short time almost always equals some degree of lose skin...

She had excessive skin surgery... her dolphin tattoo went from being above the belly button to way below her belly button. But good on her, she looks amazing!
Look at the position of her dolphin tattoo in compare to her bellybutton on both pictures.
Look at the dolphin's tatoo.. these photos are not from the same person! it's fake!
The woman on the right has had a boob job, doubt the woman onthe left would have needed one even with the loss of weight...?
No, lots of women experience "deflation" and "sagging" with weight loss, as boobs are mainly fat. I know mine have changed dramatically from minimal weight loss and if I could afford it, I'd have a boob job. Also eating habits and hormone changes make a huge difference to their size etc.

I Am A Mother Of 3 And Have Lost 43kg!! No Shakes Pills Or Surgery. Just Exercise And Food.
As a child I never had a good relationship with food; I was always eating something fried, take away or a very large portion. I never knew what portion control was until my 20's and had never tried some fruits till that age either. I wanted to write this blog to share my journey of weight loss but also to share my life experiences with healthiness and what that is to me. Healthiness to me is being a good mother, my mental health, my spiritual health, work life, how my body feels and my relationships with others. Nothing can be "perfect" all the time; this is something I have learned to accept. I do however now have the mental strength to try and slowly work through each part of my life and move forward. My older sister (Suzanne) and I were raised with not much money; this had a huge affect on my knowledge of health and foods. Some days there was no food; and others I remember eating so much I felt sick. My sister and I would have only been between the ages of 3 to 7 years old.

Great job, everyone. You are an inspiration as I start my journey. One thing that bothers me, and this is directed to commenters on each photo: Do you REALLY feel it necessary to criticize, be negative, and yell Photoshop! and demand to see stretch marks and excess skin on every photo?! Weight loss can change your features (face, muscle, etc) and other people, happy with their new appearance, may decide to splurge and treat themselves with some cosmetic work. That is not for you to judge.
AND, the way some people "compliment" them is even rude! "You werent even THAT fat!" THAT is NOT a compliment people!
Load More Replies...Fantastic! Good for everyone for taking control of their life, bodies & happiness. Skinny bodies, fat bodies, medium bodies...whatever makes you happy & healthy.
Well, fat bodies aren't exactly what you'd be looking for if you were interested in being healthy. but sure, i get what you mean .
Load More Replies...I wonder how family members would feel after seeing this Change, I would be sad but at the same time so proud if my aunt had exercised :))
LOL Half of these are from reddits Progress pics! Great for inspo but you could link it since you used pretty much all that - The people who lost the weight generally talk about how they did it too. Many do keto, calories in calories out, workout more, 1200 etc - go to the pages, its worth it. I've lost 10kg because that sub motivated me to get started
Wish I had a before pic but I hated being in pictures, went from 176lbs to 121lbs in about 8 months. Have since gained about 10 again, but thats not really a problem.
This is why I always say: if someone really wants to he or she can really look amazingly beautiful.
