Weight loss can often feel like an uphill battle, especially if you are told to run up a hill by your trainer, but the rewards can be life-changing. Harsh seasons, busy schedules, and everyday stress can be used as excuses to put off taking the first steps towards shedding those extra pounds. But if you stick to your routine and always compliment yourself on your accomplishments, it really isn't so hard to keep up with a healthy weight loss program.

Last year 45% of Americans were recorded in a survey stating that their 2018 New Year resolved to lose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Bored Panda recognizes how hard it can be to stick with body transformation goals, so we like to share your success stories. Sure, these people fought blood, sweat, and tears to stick to their healthy diets and exercise routines, but it was all so worth it in the end. Here are some more motivational before and after weight loss photos to show you that anything is possible. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Don’t forget to upvote your favorite transformations!

Body dismorphia is terrible. You rarely realize you have it and if you do you never really conquer it. Focus on how you feel physically and emotionally. If you feel good and you are happy then you are doing it right.
