I will throw some of my archived images on here when I delve into that deep bucket of "never to be seen" images....lol
But where a lot of these images depict women downsizing within the parameters of fitness model lookalikes, I think the real transformer winners are the women who gain life as a normal sized person able to shop from any rack, not be stared at in the street and who regain a new zest for life through weightloss.
I always thought seeing my ab's was the ultimate but having a healthy life at a healthy weight seems to be far more appealing.
Do it, Kaz! There are some awesome transformations amongst those right here on this forum and yours is definitely one of them.
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
