Losing weight isn’t easy. It requires a commitment and tons of patience just to be able to see the initial results. But fortunately, some people know what needs to be done to be consistent, and, after trying their best to improve their physical condition, they can now surprise everyone with their transformation.
Bright Side created a photo gallery of people who worked with determination and confidence to achieve the weight and health they very much desired.
1. “75 pounds less. The first picture is from May, 2019. The second picture is from January, 2020.”
2. “I lost 53 pounds. I did intermittent fasting and went for a low carb and gluten-free diet (due to an allergy).”
3. “61 pounds less. From class one obese to a healthy BMI in 10 months. Intermittent fasting changed my life!”
4. “Through working out, fasting, and new eating habits, I’ve lost almost 45 pounds in 2 years! ”

7. “7 months difference. 297 pounds down to 189 pounds!”
8. “My hat didn’t fit. I decided to lose weight so I could wear it again. Unfortunately, I lost the hat.”

10. “In 3 years I went from 383 pounds to 274 pounds. I’ve battled with obesity and depression my whole life, but I’ve never given in, and I’ve begun to enjoy the journey.”
