TBH, I don't feel at all inspired by what i call the "oxygen mag transformations" .. as though suddenly because one becomes fit and healthy one must be shrill and evangelical about it and MUST become a fitness model and trainer and bombard everyone with their story. I agree that the real inspirations are those that regain, or gain for the first time, a chance at a normal healthy life - to feel great within themselves, have the energy and confidence to live the life they want. It doesn't matter if it's someone who's been overweight or obese for a long time, had health issues to battle, or been underweight struggling with eating disorders, low self esteem etc. Sometimes the biggest achievements aren't even those that one can see - it's not all about aesthetics. For someone to learn good nutrition and feel great, or to achieve a healthy normal relationship with food, or regain the energy to get through their everyday and more. These things you can't see in photos but make the world of difference to how a person relates to themselves and with others. I guess it shows in their eyes and the way they walk more than anything. And that's a wonderful thing to behold. imho

Transformations are amazing, but one thing that I seem to notice between guys and girls is that a lot of the girls who lose weight take it waaaaay to far.. and end up looking gaunt, boney and ugly... or so it seems anyways...

Having said that body transformation is an amazing thing, when you see your body transform it feeds your enthusiasm for working out and validates your thought pattern that "working out is doing me good. Must do more." I go through cycles of weighing myself, sometimes I do it every day and get pissed with the results while at other times I will go weeks as if to say "fuck you fat cells". Of course my scales don't take into account the fact that I can be losing fat while gaining muscle which can mean that while my weight stays the same I have in fact lost fat. |

wingman the exact same thoughts crossed my mind. Some of them turned from fugly to relatively attractive. I mean, I know dropping body fat will bring out the best in a person who's a little heavy, but there's some photo trickery going on there!

but there are some genuine ones, and most of these aren't focussed just on their appearance.

I agree. But, if they lift heavy and keep up with protein intake the transformation is better. Rather than the types that eat salads / only do cardio = heaps of loose skin.
