The girl in this pic is the same as in #5. She ended up divorcing her husband. Then spent all of last year in hospital with very serious medical issues, gained back about half the weight and is now undergoing physiotherapy. Not sure if this was due to the weight loss.

Ymmv but if you are planning weight loss surgery sometimes there are surgeons willing to remove the excess skin for free if they can keep the skin to help burn victims and such.

Some idiot downvoted you, presumably failed to realise that you're pointing out that 53kg is almost dangerously underweight and a possible indicator of an eating disorder.

Lost 300 Lbs From 505 To 205 Lbs. 3,8 Year Transformation. Still Going Strong
Bored Panda got in touch with Tammy and Lyssie, the Nutrition Twins, who are registered dietitian nutritionists and personal trainers, to learn more about weight loss. We were curious to hear their thoughts on before and after pictures as a motivational strategy.
“Although it depends on each individual, we’ve found that “before and after” pics can rate extremely high in terms of a motivational tool. Many people like to see what they’re aspiring for, and once they see a vision, they can keep referring to the physical photo, or even the memory of the photo. We’ve had clients in the past who have kept photos of what they want to look like on their refrigerator and it’s inspired them to stick to a healthy eating plan.”

Statistically, many people do actually fail their weight loss journey, at least on the first attempt, so we wanted to know what people get wrong about it. “One of the biggest misconceptions about weight loss is that you have to starve yourself or always feel hungry or completely cut out your favorite foods. This doesn’t have to be the case at all! We really encourage our clients to fill up on nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods like vegetables, before eating the rest of their meals. This leaves a lot less room for the heavier, less healthy fare, but still allows people to get their fix and not feel deprived, which is one of the secrets to long-term sustainable weight loss,” they shared with Bored Panda.

“Be careful not to fall prey to fad diets. If a diet is too restrictive and you lose weight too quickly, the diet will be too hard to maintain and you’ll end up gaining the weight (and more!) back as soon as you return to a normal eating plan. Overly restrictive diets set you up for cravings and binges, and if they’re too low in calories, they’ll ultimately slow your metabolism since you’ll wind up losing muscle as well as fat when you lose weight. If your body loses muscle, it’s counterproductive since it’s muscle tissue that keeps your metabolism speedy. Plus, yo-yo-ing with your weight makes weight sustainable weight loss more challenging both physically and mentally when you think you have to take drastic measures to get results.”

It looks like it is Kinesiology tape. It is used to help support muscles and stabilize joints. If you see a physical therapist they can help you place it correctly. If not you can find it over the counter at a local pharmacy (in the US). There are you tube videos that show how to wear it with out risking further injury. Hope this helps.

She looks terrific and has obviously done amazing work for the transformation!!
“Focus on getting plenty of fiber and lean protein at each meal to help with satisfaction and to stabilize blood sugar. This is ultra important because if your blood sugar swings, when it dips, it triggers energy crashes which sets you up for cravings for refined carbs, sugar, and caffeine as the body craves energy. It starts a vicious cycle of overeating sugar, then getting a sugar high, followed by a crash, and a craving for more sugar. Also, when blood sugar dips, cortisol (a.k.a. the belly fat hormone) spikes,” they added. You can find more on their website, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

While it’s been common knowledge that obesity is on the rise, most folks likely don’t know just how common it is. For example, in the UK alone, one in three people could be classified as overweight, with almost 10% of the population reaching severe obesity. Some folks see this as a full-blown social issue, but as these examples here show, it is possible to make some changes.

You went from slowly being killed to killing it, my man! You should be proud!
The unfortunate truth is that food has never been more available worldwide and still is one of the main coping mechanisms we have with the difficulties in life. On top of that, food is a love language for many of us. Add in the more sedentary lifestyle most of us lead and it’s easier to see how this happens. So remember to get up and walk a bit every few hours if you work in an office.

Same Dad, Same Boy, Just One Birthday Later
In theory, the vast majority of us know how to start losing weight if we need to. The real difficulty tends to be maintaining a lifestyle that allows you to get to the weight you want. After all, not eating something that isn’t good for you is easy enough for a few days, but do you have the discipline needed to stop yourself month after month? This is perhaps why making before and after pictures is more than just a way of immortalizing the action, it’s actually a motivational tool for others who are struggling.

Load More Replies... One thing many folks might also notice is that the picture on the right can look almost like a completely new person. The truth is that weight gain will disproportionately affect certain parts of the body, so if and when that weight is lost, the person doesn’t exactly look like a “smaller” version of themselves. This is often pretty visible in the face.

For her height, 115 is a perfectly good weight, and puts a little buffer away from the overweight BMI range (BMI isn't perfect, but my point is 115 is not going to hurt her assuming she's being safe about it).

This is perhaps why, reportedly, 80% of people fail at least once when attempting to lose weight. Unfortunately, many people adopt an “all or nothing” approach, where they will allow themselves no rest days, cheat days, and have very strict deadlines and targets. It’s easy to commit to something, laying in bed late at night, but an entirely different ballgame when it comes to discipline week after week.

Kind of depends. “ For small to moderate amounts of weight loss, your skin will likely retract on its own. Natural home remedies may help too. However, more significant weight loss may need body-contouring surgery or other medical procedures to tighten or get rid of loose skin.” I have a coworker who lost 120lbs about 5 years ago and still has loose skin that bothers her so she’s looking into surgical options.

During the pandemic we got a puppy, I began walking him, then I joined Noom, and by 2022 I was down to 129 lbs. I lost a whole me!

Don’t worry. The slower the weight comes off, the longer it will stay off. You’re changing your eating habits bit by bit, instead of all at once, so you won’t feel deprived. Just be patient, and the weight will come off, stabilize, and be easy to maintain this way. Slow and steady wins the race!

If anyone is looking for an “easy” way to lose weight, it would be to give up the booze. I figure I was drinking about 4000 extra calories a week in booze. That equates to almost two full days of eating for me current calorie budget. It wasn’t easy, but it was a heck of a lot easier than dieting!

I really want to lose weight. I am thinking about IF and going on walks while I listen to an episode og NSTAAF (the only podcast my weird mind has found a love for). It's really hard for me for a few reasons but I did it before and I have a strong feeling that I must do it again. I think I lack a bit of support, though.

I really appreciate when they say how long it took. It really helps to know that big, lasting results take time. It’s a journey. I lost about 40lbs in 6 months or so. Looked amazing, but was cold all the time, took 3 days of laying in bed before I had the energy to do anything on vacation. Calorie deficit needs to be paired with nutrition. Both are super important to weight loss. I’m trying to do better this time around.

I love reading these, and looking at the amazing transformations in each story! Kudos to everyone! I feel confident they’ve all changed their lifestyles and eating habits for good, and no one will slide back into binge or comfort eating gain. My issue was adult onset hypothyroidism triggered by menopause. Once I was on the correct meds to actually have a metabolism again, the extra 72 lbs I gained started coming off right away—-not overnight, and there were some ups and downs while adjusting dosage. All in all, took about seven years total, so an average of about a pound a month. About ten pounds ago, I really started to feel like my pre-menopause self again. This is a much better way to grow older than the direction my body was taking seven years ago. I’m so glad I took control and persevered to find out what tf was going on!

The guys who comment on the extra skin on the ladies are the same ones who won't date "fatties". Lemme translate: "no one will go out with me so I will crâp on everyone else" 😉 TBH these ladies and gentlemen are "da bomb" (as my friend says) and are inspiring! Good job, y'all are all awesome!!

Two things: how come for all the women it was ‘OMG you are so beautiful before and after😊’ and for the men it’s like ‘at great job bro you aren’t a fat f*****g lard a*s anymore’. I mean if we’re gonna go the ‘big is beautiful’ route can’t we go both ways with it? Speaking of that, there were several pictures of dangerously obese women that almost definitely saved their own lives… I get that fat people shouldn’t be shamed an s**t but when it’s at a dangerous level we don’t need to glamorise it

What I noticed were positive comments for both men and women, save for the lone weirdo who kept commenting about loose skin and surgeries. But since you brought it up, women have LONG been judged on their appearance, so maybe some of these comments are aimed at not only bolstering confidence in women, but to fight against the old conditioning that women have to look a certain way to have value.

All of the people are so mentally strong and have gone through such amazing transformations. People who are dealing with excess weight should never be shamed as there can be many reasons behind it from steroid medications used to treat some cancers to weight gain as a trauma response after a severe physical injury. Many organ recipients, like my little cousin, gain significant amounts of weight due to the crazy amount of medications they have to take to avoid rejection. Please don’t ever, ever make fun of anyone on a weight loss journey as sometimes you don’t know what they are struggling with.
