50 Awesome Weight Loss Transformations That Prove Change Is Possible

We chose to invest in ourselves. We chose to fight for our health. We chose to change.

Over 1000lbs lost between the three of us—and gained a brotherhood in the process. What started as individual journeys became one powerful transformation fueled by accountability, vision, and relentless drive.

We surrounded ourselves with people who believed in us, pushed us, and shared the same hunger to grow. That made all the difference.

This is what it looks like when you stop making excuses and start making moves.

All it took was to quit drinking, weighing and tracking everything I ate, going to the gym 5-6x a week, and weekly therapy! Just jokin’ it has all been extremely worth it! I’m not quite done yet but imma keep on truckin’ till I get there!

Nine years ago, when I began my weight loss journey at 420 pounds, I never imagined I’d be standing here today. Back then, all I wanted was to feel healthy and fit into the clothes tucked away in my closet. But every road has led me to this powerful moment.

When I first lost my eye sight, I turned to food for comfort. I truly believed my life was over. But I’ve since learned one life-changing truth: I can do anything I set my mind to.

It’s wild to think I almost didn’t do this race. When the tree fell on our house, I wondered if it was a sign to stop. But now I see it differently — it was a reminder that no matter what life throws at me, I have to keep moving forward. Nothing can stop me from chasing my dreams.

I’m deeply grateful to @bluegrassbamr for being my guide on this journey. She was incredible, and I’ll always treasure our race photos and the bond we shared out there on the course.

This race will forever remind me of how strong, resilient, and unstoppable I am. And believe me — this is just the beginning. I’m already looking forward to the next one.

We wanted to be healthy so we could grow old gracefully together, and be around as long as possible for our kids. So grateful for this journey with my best friend!

SIDE NOTE !! I DIDN’T LOSE WIEGHT JUST BY EXERCISING ALONE ,I CHANGED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD ,IM ON A CALORIE DEFICIT DIET !! YOUR DIET DOES 80% OF THE JOB 20% EXERCISE

I've been stalled for over a month now within 5 lbs of being down 200. Finally broke the stall this morning and hit a new low of 262.4 lbs.

It feels much easier to forget how life felt in a 300+ lbs body the further removed I am from it. So I find it necessary to make these photos comparisons to bring me back to those memories. To remind myself that I don’t ever want to go back to feeling the way I did.

Firstly I want to thank you all for how kind you were to me when I posted my first post. I’ve looked back at it so many times on low motivation days and your comments have kept me going. When I posted in July I was around 150lbs lost, I’ve now lost over 200lbs. I’d like to hit 247lbs for the year. Really looking forward to hopefully hitting my goal of 180lbs by next year sometime. I just want to say how much easier life is 200lbs down, my health including my mental health has improved so much and I feel like I’m living life again. My goal this year was to buy a Christmas jumper in a normal shop and for the first Christmas ever I did! I hid my face the first time I posted because I was embarrassed that I’d let myself get to 450lbs but I’m bloody proud that 450lb me decided to make the change because look how clear I’ve come! Thank you for everything progress pics sub and here’s to a healthy and happy 2025!

I’m extremely grateful I did not end up in the office of a practitioner who believes all obese people need to be medicated forever. I adopted a low-carb diet & sustainably lost 80 pounds of body fat. No prescriptions were written. PS: I’m not against obesity meds, but I AM against this growing notion that there is no value in lifestyle changes for obesity & metabolic health. If we simply decide for people that lifestyle changes cannot work, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When I have bad days and get off track, I wake up with resolve and forgiveness the next day. l look at my day as the only thing in existence that matters. I don’t look ahead and think about the largeness of the journey to come - because in the past l’ve used that as an excuse to throw up my hands and admit defeat. “It’ll take too long, it’s too much, I don’t have the fight left in me,” etc. When we ONLY LIVE WITHIN the confines of a single day, we can literally do anything. - I can drink a bunch of water for just a day. - I can track everything and use that as a tool to guide my decisions for just a single day. - Even better - I can get up and move and get my steps in for the next hour. In this hour I will turn on Alexa and have a dance party with my kids while I vacuum and tidy up. I can do that in the next hour. - I can get outside and walk for a little bit in the next hour instead of sitting and playing on my phone like I ALWAYS WANT TO. So l’ll do that *just at some point within the hour*. Just live in the immediate, while being realistic about tomorrow. We’ll figure the rest out when we get there. Love you.

Still sporting black most days. I hope by the end of the year I'll be comfortable enough to wear more colour!

Went from 120kg to now 68kg. First 40kg I lost 8 years ago in 6 months, the remainder I lost in the last few months. First picture was me at 20, second picture is me at 29.

Almost 2 years ago I decided to take back the reins of my health. At first I got hung up on “how did I let this happen” but then I decided it didn’t matter…It was time to change. Hasn’t been perfect, but I have not and will not give up on myself. This is just the beginning of this health journey!

Hey everyone! I’ll give a background for anyone interested and a TLDR at the bottom When I was 12 years old I was already over 200 pounds - the fattest kid in the class / among his social group. I’ve been huge since my youngest memories By the time my 23rd birthday was coming up I was nearly 300 pounds and the health issues were overwhelming- terrible back pain, no energy, no motivation, brutal brain fog, my mobility was going away as the weight increased. People were constantly telling me I looked over 40 years old I knew I shouldn’t be feeling so bad at such a young age and decided there was no way I could continue down this path I woke up October 20, 2021 looked into the mirror and told myself today is the day I start and never go back By August 2022 I lost over 100 pounds Since then I’ve continued to maintain the weight loss while working on adding muscle - it’s been 2 years since I “finished” and I have not gained back any substantial weight / fat besides muscle I started with a calorie deficit and exercise routine I developed that focused on minimizing loose skin by retaining as much muscle as possible No fad diets, no cutting out sugars or foods, no surgeries, no weird miracle products or any BS. Just a calorie deficit and solid routine / nutrition TLDR Lost over 100+ pounds naturally through calorie deficit and exercise.

My weight loss journey was motivated by uncomfortable experiences that lead me to make my LAST start to my journey.

I was
Uncomfortable at my own wedding.
Uncomfortable in meeting new people Uncomfortable being around anyone.
Uncomfortable dressing up
Uncomfortable working out
Uncomfortable failing…. Again

I was SO uncomfortable it pushed me to make a change. The start was uncomfortable but I wasn’t unfamiliar with that feeling. I was willing to be uncomfortable until I started to feel comfortable.

I did my journey alone and needed someone thats been in my shoes. Im a MOM, a WIFE who was 290+ lbs that lost -136lbs NATURALLY.
I got into online coaching to be the person I needed. SO, if you are ready to start your path to becoming the person you want to be.

From feeling so self conscious that I could barely leave the house, to becoming the healthiest. strongest and the most confident I ever have been in my life and starting a coaching business to help other women achieve the same. Forever the greatest gift I could’ve given myself

Took me over 3 years to finally get abs.

Long story short been over weight twice in life. Once in high school, weighing in at 350lbs and lost about 110lbs during that time. Got skin removal surgery and everything. Even took pro hormones for a bit (despite my medical condition) (and a dumb decision on my part). Fast forward thru my early to mid 20s, I unfortunately gained 220lbs which put me up to 460 (photo on the right). This was obviously my lowest point in life... haha After amining for 0.8 to 1lbs of weight loss per week I was able to persevere much of my muscle and even gain some from re-feed days (at least that's what the dexa and in-body scans told me). Now I weigh about 270 and couldn't be happier. My goal is to drop a bit more body fat just as a "can I get sub 10" feeling going on.

Anyways that's my story. Thanks for reading!
