We all like to start the new year with the not-so-humble brag that this year we are going to become the best version of ourselves, so it only made sense that the first internet viral thread of 2019 followed this theme. Unless you have been on a social media cleanse you have seen a #10YearChallenge then and now pictures post. The idea is simple, post side-by-side comparison photos of yourself from both years just to prove how strong your glow-up was.
Call it narcissistic if you want, but there is no denying that for some people out there, like a fine wine, they only got better with time. Some of them found very positive changes in discovering who they are; others went from ugly ducklings to full-on swans. This list shows the best #10YearChallenges from celebrities and regular social media users alike that highlights the most drastic body transformations along with those who haven't seemed to have aged a day. Scroll down below to check out the makeovers and don't forget to upvote your favs!

That's also a lovely name. It's always wonderful when these tiny babies pull through.

I love the ones that aren't just "I got more pretty/handsome", that are instead mental health changes. I admire someone who fought depression and won much more than I do someone who just got prettier over 10 years.
So happy for you! You deserve it, and keep telling yourself that! Hugz
Congrats young man! Good on you to fight that demon! We all have our demons and they are all different for all of us!
First off I am a badass. And I’m a girl who WAS a boy. It’s kinda weird because I don’t feel sick or mentally ill. I feel like I can breath. Like I don’t have to pretend anymore. Like I shouldn’t have to deal with people who are mean just because I am who I feel comfortable as. And I also feel like most you here aren’t a psychologist and should shut the f**k up.
To the persons that keep spouting that being transgendered is a mental illness, they need to read psychiatric texts later than from the 1980s. The World Health Organization states that "the evidence is now clear that it is NOT a mental disorder" While transgendered people can suffer from other mental health issues, being transgendered in itself is not one. The American Psychological Association themselves state that the issue is up to debate. "Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder." https://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgender.aspx https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/06/20/transgender-not-mental-illness-world-health-organization/717758002/ Sorry for the wall of text. I just wanted to actually site sources instead of spouting opinion based on outdated info. Cheers
You don't get to decide for other people what they are. Stop assuming there's only XX or XY. Genetics tells us that there are many variations: xxy, xyy, xxxy, etc. And these variants can result in a wide range of life conditions, including dyslexia or the knowledge that you are physically one sex, but mentally/emotionally the other. Just because someone "Looks" male to you, doesn't make it the case.
Something doesn't seem right... how did the littlest one age past the other two?
I'd guess that they're in the wrong order, but the faces match too well. I guess one just got real big for their age.
Load More Replies...She says “I see your 10 year challenge selfies” as if her’s are the most interesting. When in fact this is one of the least interesting that’s been posted here. Your toddlers grew older. Uh...cool. Lol
He! And the reality is that it's 2019 and not 1900... I'm glad everybody can be helped to feel happy and comfortabel in their skin ❤
Load More Replies...It’s so amazing to me that genders are culturally so far apart in appearance, roles, etc. and so close in biological or genetic structure. I take joy in the fact that he was able to complete his transformation into who he really is :-)
Yup, when I was scrolling down I was trying to understand how the fact he lost weight got so high on the list until I got to the boobs and was speechless

Are you truly happy? The one trans person I know (I knew him when he was a she & we're still friends) has tried to kill himself multiple times & is constantly in some form of crisis. Is this normal?
Trans people can be mentally ill and it doesn't always have to do with them being transgender, just that they can get depressed like everyone else. That being said, trans people meet with a lot of transphobia and that can be a huge burden to have to carry with you. If you want to help your friend, make sure he seeks counselling from a trans-positive therapist!
Load More Replies...looks just the same except she has longer hair now. but still the bright smile
Everyone chill the heck out on the makeup. It's only a tiny bit, and her mom probably put it on her anyway. IT WASHES OFF.
it amazes me to see how pissed people get about another person living their life trying to be happy. especially when their life doesnt interfere or cause problems for you or your life. WHO CARES LET PEOPLE F*****G LIVE. shes gorgeous by the way.
Ah, there we go, lumpy replied to me. Unfortunately, I can't reply to him because his answer is below the threshold, but I find it delicious he included a link to a video from "American College of Pediatricians", which just happens to be an anti-LGBT hate group masquerading as a legit organization... Charming. And then he manages to prove he understands nothing about chromosomes and gender, because he falls into the old "chromosomes = sex" kindergarten simplification. So please riddle me this, lumpy, if that's the way it works, how about the De la Chapelle syndrome? It's a condition where an individual has a pair of XX chromosomes and nonetheless ends up as phenotypically male, including male genitalia and a male gender identity. And how about animal species which don't have a Y chromosome at all and yet manage to have genders? But noo, if YOU learned in school about a thing, then the world must conform to your ideas about it, because tha's the way it works. You little arrogant prick.

How would she not embrace it? She's just living her life like a normal person.
Load More Replies...For some odd reason I find vitiligo sexy as hell! I have several spots on my hips and allways loved them
Proof that he is an immortal kitchen demon fueled by disappointment
I just love Gordon Ramsay. I watch his new show "24 Hours to Hell", I believe that is what it is. On this show he fixes more then the restaurants, he helps the people. He is actually a really good person.
He looks like he's getting younger! All that anger is keeping him young. Lol
love first photo--she looks like a silly, happy, enthusiastic little girl
Well anyone can look bad in a s**t photo with s**t makeup smeared randomly...
She looks exactly the same, and I'm happy for both of them, but my god I love mark ruffalo
Um, wow... his ten years look more like fn 25 or 30 mate :O Hers looks like 5. LOL
Did y'all ever see her in "Thanks for Sharing" ? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1932718/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_13. Absolutely brilliant performance. I love this movie more than I can say! Fan for life!
Man if she wants to wear makeup leave her alone.
Load More Replies...I love how it's all about loving and supporting each other on transgender photos, but people are ripping this girl apart.
Could not agree more. So getting implants and cross-dressing YAAAAY. Wearing make-up - BOOOO. Society in a nutshell. People are all for being natural AND changing genders - you can't have it both ways.
Load More Replies...She grew up good. What if she learned to use makeup well! I don't use it and I'm fine, it's her choice. No makeup can fix ugly souls.
Make up can only enhance what you already have. She was already beautiful before, Just an awkward teen.
It's hard to tell because the angle is different, it might be or it might not be
Load More Replies...What a beautiful young lady. Makeup helped a little, but she is definitely gorgeous !!!
It's called having work done and being rich.
Load More Replies...Just remember that these celebrities that look like they don't age have their own personal trainers, dietitians, access and funds to healthy food, makeup artists, hairstylists etc.
Totally true. This is also touched up - when you see her in films or TV she does look older and there is nothing wrong with that. She is still attractive.
Load More Replies...And with facial laser resurfacing, micro dermal abrasion, fillers, little nips and tucks and massages yeah I'd look great too. Oh and the chef, nannies, cleaners, a driver or two and gardeners. Getting well paid, mortgage paid off, accountant pays the bills on time, children getting well educated, supporting the family...life is great!
She’s absolutely stunning! She aged so well! This is the definition of “like wine, they only get better with age”
I have been there! You go girl! Dont do sports for the body alone, do it for a healthy long life!!!
So that handsome boy became a handsome man... where is the COLOSSAL difference?
Wow... what a great looking man you are, and your eyes are so kind now!
I was wondering what rapper would sell so much and I had never heard of him....then saw he was South African...makes sense. Good for him, hard work pays off!
Why does that make more sense? (Extremely naive idiot here).
Load More Replies...If you Googled correctly, you would have seen he is in fact, South African, not a "random US rapper"....
Load More Replies...1st pic: casual badass. 2nd pic: About to beat the ahit out of someone
First one looks like a modeling portfolio shot, possibly retouched. Newer pic is more natural and actually more beautiful.
Nice to see people still together after 10 years. I've been together with my significant other for 16 years, and still happy as a clam
Same, I did my #10year and the only thing that changed was a I have some wrinkles and my hubby has less hair. Oh and now we have a kid... we're still just as happy
Load More Replies...They have been stuck like this for 10 years? Wow, some people are just crazy...
Well... judging by the background it seems they have been able to walk around a bit.
Load More Replies...Sorry, not sorry. I agree with Andreas, this comment is creepy. Not sure what you mean by "nicer", but she's literally a child in the left portrait. Also, to equate sexuality with morality is f*****g GROSSSSS. She's not a s**t, or mean, or a worse person in the right photo. It's the same exact person, just dressed and posed differently. Whatever you see in the left photo that you can't see in the right says a hell of a lot about who you are, not her.
Load More Replies...Harshly? The guy just had a simple, un-nasty, observation on his preference. That's OK!
Load More Replies...On thé lent she looks like a happy child and on the rigth like a powerfull women and i love that 💪🏼 Beautifull
She’s hot and sexy but it’s not really a worthwhile transformation to go from child to adult. That happens to most people.
You are still as beautiful as ever, but your face now, has a character it didn’t before. You’ve lived, you’re a mom and married, but the beauty you have now, is a richer sort, and a confidence that’s purely won, fair and square!
It really, really doesn't. She still looks stunning but not younger.
Load More Replies...It's not multiple choice. It's just to show the difference.
Load More Replies...This girl has been through a LOT in her life. She is such a strong and beautiful human being.
This is Sarah Hyland. Just to help people like myself out who thought she was familiar.
She's not anorexic, you tool. She has kidney dysplasia and has had two transplants. Due to the medication she has a hard time keeping on weight.
Load More Replies...The picture on the left is not from 2009.. Amazing transformation though !
Okay - I now pronounce you husband and wife. Have a happy life together.
Load More Replies...Neil Patrick Harris already marries him! Both are such handsome fellows!
She has survived a brain tumor. She can have whatever lense she wants, but I think the picture is just less in focus.
Designers have it easy with Isla. "Isla wants a new dress? Okay, take the blue tape, we haven't used it yet." She can wear anything, she is simply beautiful.
But you didn't know what was important in life back then...am I right? Those stretch marks are just a map of your journey.
She didn't know what was important in life back then? Are you from 1850? Women are not baby vending machines. Shame on you for saying this, you don't know her and you certainly don't know what's important for her
Load More Replies...10 years ago she wanted to see your throat, now she wants to see your manager :D Lookin' good though
10 years ago she had a more approachable vibe, like. Yes, we can be friends. The second one is more like. What do you want from me, go away !!
what are you even talking about?! She looks good for her age but she has definitely aged the 10 years between these two pictures.
Load More Replies...This is just pointing out the obvious and not being critical but she doesn't look younger because of the lines radiating out from her eyes. She's still really pretty.
Load More Replies...He had a hard few years this guy, can't stand football but i respect what this guy has been through, looking good Rio.
Maybe she didn't eat a lot back then and that's why she's so thin, so she's making the point that she eats whatever she wants now.
Load More Replies...He doesn't look like he's aged at all. Just the color of wisdom in his hair
over ten years, her hair and the back of her dress disappeared but obviously not her beauty and self-worth
Ok! Just to clarify: on the left, we have Christian Chávez, Mexican, singer. on the right we have Evaristo Costa, reporter, Brazilian. Evaristo is a very funny guy and made this as a joke.
But if he's happy in it now, who cares if it becomes regrettable later! Hair can be easily changed
Load More Replies...These are two different acromegalic giants, and the guy on the left is clearly older than the one on the right. BP should immediately cancel these weird pics.
On the original Instagram post is the following, which probably explains it a little better: guinnessworldrecords In January 2009 the record for the tallest man living was held by Xi Shun (China) who measured 2.361 m (7 ft 8.95 in). Fast forward 10 years and the record now belongs to Sultan Kösen (Turkey), who is 2.51 m (8 ft 2.8 in) tall.
Oh wow I guess I’m even aging wrong. I look 10 yrs older not hotter. Wtf social media has everyone thinking 10 yrs u should be hotter? For the kids, that’s cool, but for grownass people wtf. It’s 10 yrs, life is hard! Sorry I got older and tired not hotter. I spent my time working and on education, not makeup tutorials,’plastic surgery and filters/photoshop lol 🙄
Lol I kinda feel the same even tho I did watch makeup tutorials. I got older looking too but some of these people prove it doesn’t have to be that way. Plus going from child to adult is a useless demonstration in aging. It’s much more interesting to see the difference between 23 and 33.
Load More Replies...Wonder how the earth must have changed in 10 years.. with all the forests reducing and the polar ice melting.. it must look very barren now..
The transphobic comments under the gender change transformations are just sad at this point.
It is narcisstic, sorry, but that is just "look how more beautiful I got" bragging, we have too much of that already.
Why isn't someone allowed to be happy with themselves and how they look? They're not spreading any kind of negativity and you don't have to be happy for them, but let them enjoy their changes, whether that's weight loss or gain, getting fit, correcting their gender, getting through surgeries and such! It's not going to impact your life whatsoever if they're happy with themselves. Live and let live!
Load More Replies...I hope people realize that the main reason for this "challenge" is to help Facebook improve their own facial recognition software...
Wow what a transgender freak show. Disturbing to put it lightly. Honestly this needs to be taken down why are we feeding this mental illness called gender dysphoria? As JP says you wouldn't tell your Alzheimer's patient that yes the ghosts they see are real and it is illegal for anyone to tell you otherwise
I think the majority of the pics are of members of the public, they're not all famous people.
