50 People Who Decided To Drastically Change Their Lives And Are Now Motivating The Internet (New Pics)
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reported that nearly 1 in 3 US adults are overweight. More than 2 in 5 adults have obesity. Meanwhile, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost half (49.1 percent) of adults have made an effort to lose weight.
If you have been struggling with weight and its management, you know how frustrating the journey can be. For many people, it feels like a path where one step forward is two steps backwards. And don’t even mention these articles with "10 tricks" that will help bust your belly fat or promises about magic diet pills and potions. Anyone who’s been there seriously will tell you it's a lie.
The real challenge of weight loss lies within yourself. The people who have successfully done it showcased an incredible inner strength and the most powerful will one can imagine.
So to celebrate them for changing their lives and showing us all that everything’s possible, we wrapped up a selection of the most astonishing before and after weight loss pics. After you’re done, more inspiration awaits here and here.

From 534 Lbs To 214 Lbs In 4 Years
I think this picture accurately depicts that change takes time. My nephew is a good example in this picture. He didn’t wake up one morning and grow into the size he is now. It took time. You are not going to just wake up at your goal, it’s gonna take time. Embrace it.

To find out more about living with and battling eating disorders, a while ago, Bored Panda reached out to Nuno, the UKAT Head of Treatment, who shared some very useful insights into the complex mind of a person with an eating disorder. According to Nuno, eating disorders can manifest in a variety of different ways for different people.
"For some, it is about controlling or limiting food, but for others, it is to consume large amounts of food. This—coupled with a sedentary lifestyle—leads to weight gain, which has mood-altering side effects like depression," Nuno told us.

In order to understand the brain with an eating disorder, it’s important to recognize the fact that there is an incredibly powerful link between food and mood. "It can often overcome a person's everyday life, in the same way that an unhealthy relationship with drugs or alcohol can, and just like an addiction to substances, the only way out is to address and treat the root cause of the problem," he told my colleague Jonas previously.
Nuno argues that one and probably the best way to alter the negative link between 'food and mood' is to exercise. “Exercising releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the brain and body. Finding any way to move your body if you're struggling with weight and your mental health will bring huge advantages," he explained.

For some people, food becomes much more than its initial purpose of giving us the energy we need to do daily activities. For some, food becomes an all-consuming obsession. A significant body of research found that food addiction involves the same areas of the brain as drug addiction. According to Kris Gunnars, a nutrition expert and founder of Authority Nutrition, the same neurotransmitters are involved, and many of the symptoms are identical.

The research has shown that processed junk foods have a powerful effect on the reward centers of the brain. These effects are caused by brain neurotransmitters like dopamine. The most addiction-prone foods include typical junk foods like candy, sugary soda, and high-fat fried foods.
What’s interesting to note is that researchers agree that food addiction is not caused by a lack of willpower, but they believe it is caused by a dopamine signal that affects the biochemistry of the brain.

Lost 163 Lbs Throwing Hay Bales, Pulling Frozen Pallets Every Day For 15 Miles, Working At A Sawmill, And Shoveling Snow. If You Wanna Lose Weight, Get A Physical Job
Anastasia Monich 3 years ago
For real though! I can 100% attest to that. Working at an Amazon warehouse, all I did was make myself eat according to what my Fitbit and MyFitnessPal app were saying I had to eat in order to maintain a 2 lb weight loss a week. It turned out to be close to over 2200 calories on workdays. And as a 5'5" 24 year old woman. It got to the point that I just physically was not hungry enough to even try to eat that much (I'd be stuffing myself beyond full). Now from Feb 4th this year to today, I have lost close to 30 lb (210-181 lb). Only 30 more to go!
Pheebs 3 years ago
I agree with the physical job, though it doesn’t always have to be as physical as his job. I worked retail when I was younger, at a bookstore. Just the constant walking, lifting, bending, etc took me from a size 16 to a 12. Over the years I moved more firmly in to sitting jobs that have jacked the weight back up, mostly in the legs. It really shows how just being in your feet helps. I’m on a 40lb weight loss journey myself, hoping to get back down to where I was 10 years ago.

OP, how did you do this? I'm finding weight loss post-menopause to be darn near impossible!
IDK_Something 3 years ago
From OP responding to a similar question. I hope this helps and good luck!!: "It’s doable but start with walking. Walk fast enough to get your heart rate around the 100-110. That’s what I did for 30-40min a day. And calorie count. Look at the portion sizes. I’ve tried and failed so many times to lose weight. This time it worked because I combined portion control with exercise. I realise now I always ate too much. I have no self control over food so I avoid eating rubbish food. It’s taken me 3 months of gradual adding exercise. Small steps but incremental. You can do this if I can :)"

Also, for us older women who have dieted for years - thanks to WW bull#$@&, I had 'broken' my appetite. My body thought I was hungry all the time, which led to 50 pounds overweight.

I'm guessing OMaD is one meal a day? Is that healthy as a lifestyle or is it just for quick weight loss and then move into a full time regimine?
LazyPanda 3 years ago (edited)
I actually started doing this as my lifestyle became less active (full time etc made it more sedentary). It actually isn't hard at all once you start the rhythm. I drink way more water now and feel less "hanger." I find myself feeling full quicker, eating earlier (usually by 11), and have even progressed to exercise and still on one meal and it doesn't bother me. I would not suggest diving in and trying to force it on yourself. That's what would make it a short term fad. I started by eating one meal I really loved once a day, enjoying it, and leaving it at that. Then didn't guilt myself over a snack here and there. I don't believe in a "healthy" lifestyle that everyone's supposed to follow. Three meals a day is relatively arbitrary. As long as you're getting your necessary nutrients you can do whatever you want

It's amazing how much bodies can differ. I used to eat maybe two meals a day on a pretty sedentary lifestyle (mental health issues) and eventually I was down to 40kg. Had to start following eating disorder therapy. Now I have to eat two to three meals a day plus snacks to maintain a weight of 50, and I'm still considered underweight. It's so fascinating to me!

I love how unlike weight loss ads that I've seen in the past, buffered with photoshop and lighting and makeup trickery, this is just seeing a person who obviously looks a much more happily confident and healthier version of themselves.

I don´t get it. I lost control over my weight due to extreme sleep apnoe around 2008 and shot up from 130 kgs (always been a big guy) to 245 kgs. I got my CPAP in 2010 and realized what was going on with me. Started dieting, working out. literally going the whole nine yards to lose weight. Swimming, freediving, cycling, weightlifting and got down to 180, then 170 with 160 fully in my sights. Now I havn´t changed a thing, kept the diet (leaning on Keto) kept exercising, whatched what I ate and what I drank. And I am back at 180, so I now eat even less and exercise even more and still I gain. I am dedicated and clear in my goals but I simply can´t get under the 179kgs barrier, regardless on what I do. So what are these people doing that is so different to that what I am doing? BTW, I am over 60 and lift a lot of weights.

I like the honest pictures. Same clothes, make-up or clothing style. So you can see the real changes. Others chose a really bad "before" pic and the "after" pic is posed, with a lot of make-up or lipfillers. You don't have to do this, the weightloss is already impressive!

I was anorexic in my teens and growing up I gained and got to seventeen stone. So I just lost two stone in six weeks through slimming world. These people are amazing. I will say though that when I did have anorexia no one said anything about my weight loss but as soon as I gained I got comments. Being thin does not equal healthy.
