15+ Photos That Show Pure Progress as It Is

If you want to achieve great results, you have to show diligence and persistence. But sometimes changes are not as obvious as we want them to be. In this case, “before” and “after” photos can be really helpful to see how far we’ve come.

At Bright Side, we enjoyed looking at photos that have captured progress as it is.

“I started imaging Saturn 2 years ago today. This is my progress.”

“Before and after a 40-pound weight loss — I can’t even begin to describe how much better I feel.”

“I never saw the loss in the mirror until I compared these 2 photos.”

Now it’s a backyard you want to spend time in.

It’s amazing how fast cats grow.

“The chest of drawers, refreshed. It needs a little more paint on some places, but I’m pleased with it so far.”

What a mouth-watering result!

“This very comfy loveseat was donated to me after a fire. It didn’t match with my room.”

“My progress in making cakes over the year”

“I started a medical journey a year ago and got my first plant so that I’d grow and change with it.”

“When I get frustrated with myself for not progressing fast enough, I look at it and realize how far we’ve both come.”

“One year of makeup practice — there’s still room for improvement but I’m happy with how this look turned out.”

“We cleaned 100-year-old steps near our house.”

“I made the same frog as a knitting progress marker. I’ve come so far.”

“My nail growth progress! If I can do it, anyone can!”

“Spoon carving progression: my first spoon is on the left, and my latest one is on the right.”

“I lost 50 pounds. Am I crazy or did I lose weight in my nose?”
