11 Incredible Physical Transformations That Prove Anyone Can Do It

Losing weight or physically transforming yourself can seem like an uphill battle to some; especially if you¡¯re someone who struggles with the motivation to stick to a routine for an extended period of time. Well, these people faced their own set of struggles too, but managed to come through emphatically.

So much so that it¡¯s hard to even recognise them from their previous pictures in their current state. The next time you feel demotivated or lose the belief that you can in fact make that change to how you physically look and feel, refer to these before-and-after weight loss transformations to get your mojo back.

#2. Getting on to a weight loss journey with a partner is one way to do it.

#throwbackthursday to 485lbs & @discoveringdanny proposing to me at sunset on Clearwater Beach. He never saw me as my size, asked me to change, or made me feel as anything other than beautiful. He treated me the same way at 485lbs that he does at 182lbs. Love doesn't have a size or weight limit. He saw the person I was on the inside and supported me while I made that person on the side match my outside. Surround yourself with those who lift you higher and see the greatness in you even when you dont see it yourself! ? #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fatgirlfedupdietbet #love #florida #clearwaterbeach #sunset #fitspire #fitcouple #relationshipgoals #couplegoals #fattofit #obesetobeast #beastmode #fitfam #fitspo #inspire #motivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #wedding #engagement #transform #fitspo #diet #extremeweightloss #transformation

This inspirational couple managed to lose 400 pounds. ¡°Doing this as a couple has helped us in so many ways¡±. On days when we were unmotivated, we pushed each other to go to the gym. We also started meal-prepping together, setting goals, and day by day or pound by pound we grew closer throughout our journey.¡± ¨C Lexi Reed, tells ABC News.

#3. If you lose more than 150 pounds you can learn to love your stretch marks as well

Have you ever been afraid to start your weight loss journey for fear of stretch marks, scars, and loose skin? . So was I. . During my transformation I went through a divorce and often thought, "Even if I hit my goal weight-no man will love my body." But that's because I didn't think that I could love my OWN body. . I changed my thinking, and it changed my life. I learned, over time, to love and embrace my marks. I actually LIKE my tummy tuck scar!! It's a reminder of the strength, power, and determination I picked up along the way. . So, for my last photo shoot, I had all of MY stretch marks vibrantly painted and took to the streets of Downtown Dallas to wear them proudly. I asked the photographer to NOT edit my body in any way. . I hope that my #loveyourmarks movement helps you see these marks and scars in a different light. . It's not about perfection, it's about confidence. It's not about weight loss, it's about health. It's not about acceptance by others...it's about learning to accept who you are in this moment and who you are becoming. ? . Edit: I do want to thank @zinteta for your inspiration to so many, including me!

¡°I started gaining the weight back, like many weight loss surgery patients do. The weight loss surgery is only a tool. I had a wake-up call when I realised I was going to be a weight-loss surgery failure. Not even this extreme measure could save me. There was a moment in time where I realised I have to change.¡± ¡ª Christine Carter, reported Spot Me Girl.

#10. Elena managed to lose a 100 pounds by following a keto and not giving up on pizza!

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." I remember having already lost a little bit of weight and feelin' myself in that blue dress. See thing is, as my girl says, "the confidence was overflowing that day". I remember getting so many compliments as I walked into the restaurant. I'm lucky enough to have been in a positive mindset since day one, confidence has never been lacking for me. It was just a matter of growing into the girl I felt I was already. ??? . . . . . . . . . . #transformationtuesday #bodytransformation #weightlossprogress #weightloss #fattofit #obesetobeast #fatfitgirl #watchmeshrink #weightlosstransformation #fitnesstransformation #ketogeniccom #ketotransformation #extremeweightloss #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #ketojourney #igfitmom #ketomom #ketoworks #ketogeniclifestyle #slayallday #goaldigger

"You walk to Walmart three times a day, and you end up walking six miles. It's amazing because I never walked six miles in my life, and I was doing it every day.
