28 Times People Surprised Everyone By Losing So Much Weight They Looked Like A Different Person (New Pics)
Article created by: Viktorija Gabulaitė
As much as we believe that everyone is beautiful both inside and out, when it comes to living a long and healthy life, losing enough weight until you’re out of the obese and overweight categories is a must. Especially during the global pandemic: Covid-19 has greater negative outcomes for those who are overweight.
To inspire all of you (and ourselves!) to eat better, lead more active lifestyles, and sweat our exercise uniforms through, Bored Panda has collected some of the most motivating before-and-after transformations. These people said ‘enough is enough!’ and embarked on the long and arduous journey to reshape their bodies. For themselves. For their loved ones. For the sake of a higher quality life with fewer illnesses and more memorable moments. When you’re done scrolling through this list and upvoting the photos that inspired you the most, you’ll find our earlier articles about dramatic weight transformations and weight loss success stories here, here, here, and here.
Nuno Albuquerque, the Head of Treatment at the UK Addiction Treatment Group went into detail with Bored Panda about eating disorders and moving past them. Read on for his insights. You can also visit the UKAT website for 24/7 confidential help and support with eating disorders or mental health.

Well, This Was My Journey
I'm close to 6'5", on the left I was pushing 300 pounds. My entire family is obese, my father was huge. On the left I was about 32 y/o on the right almost 50 y/o.
This took years, a conscious decision to just freaking cut out bad food and start some exercising. I have a terrible metabolism, all my family does, the type that if you "stare at food" you will put on weight. I swear, I have to do twice the aerobics to lose the same weight as what any table shows you.
I have very few pictures of myself in my 20s and 30s as I was always so ashamed of my body. I feel like I lost a couple of decades of my life because back then I just never wanted to do anything, be out in public, I just shut down.
It is a daily struggle to this day, sure I have a period of a week to a month where I take steps backwards but then I just focus and get back to the hard work.
A mistake I made early on was as I put on weight I would buy larger clothes, that was a huge mistake, huge. If any clothes start to feel tight on me now that is the motivation to make sure I'm eating properly.
I don't know if this can help motivate anyone or not, I hope it can. All you have in life is your health and well being and, at least for me, so much of that hinges on my weight. Old me would gasp for air going up a few flights of stairs, would always have to find a place to sit down if I was out somewhere, never again do I want that.
