138 Inspiring People Showing What Willpower And Hard Work Can Do
Many of us could probably benefit from losing a couple of pounds. But let's face it, exercise is hard work, especially when there're so many things to distract us from it (like eating. And sleeping. And Game of Thrones marathons). But as you can see from this before and after list compiled by Bored Panda, the people who uploaded these pictures weren't so easily distracted. Realizing that they needed to lose some weight, they didn't just shed those unwanted pounds - they shredded them! Real beauty is on the inside, as we all know, but it doesn't change the fact that these bodily transformations are nothing short of incredible. Do you have any before and after pictures like the ones below? Then feel free to share them with us, and don't forget to vote!

What is wrong with you people any excuse to criticism get off your a*s and use these as inspirations.

Allot of people are embarrassed about there loss skin, see how skinny her neck is compared to the rest of her body that's her skin she's covered. She looks wonderful!

As a child I never had a good relationship with food; I was always eating something fried, take away or a very large portion. I never knew what portion control was until my 20's and had never tried some fruits till that age either. I wanted to write this blog to share my journey of weight loss but also to share my life experiences with healthiness and what that is to me. Healthiness to me is being a good mother, my mental health, my spiritual health, work life, how my body feels and my relationships with others. Nothing can be "perfect" all the time; this is something I have learned to accept. I do however now have the mental strength to try and slowly work through each part of my life and move forward. My older sister (Suzanne) and I were raised with not much money; this had a huge affect on my knowledge of health and foods. Some days there was no food; and others I remember eating so much I felt sick. My sister and I would have only been between the ages of 3 to 7 years old.

Great job, everyone. You are an inspiration as I start my journey. One thing that bothers me, and this is directed to commenters on each photo: Do you REALLY feel it necessary to criticize, be negative, and yell Photoshop! and demand to see stretch marks and excess skin on every photo?! Weight loss can change your features (face, muscle, etc) and other people, happy with their new appearance, may decide to splurge and treat themselves with some cosmetic work. That is not for you to judge.
Melody Lanzatella 8 years ago
AND, the way some people "compliment" them is even rude! "You werent even THAT fat!" THAT is NOT a compliment people!
