"Trust the process! If you start to feel like you're not seeing any change, take a picture and look at how far you've come! Even if it's just a little bit of change, know it's all worth it and keep pushing forward!"

"Quite the difference!" this woman writes, crediting her impressive weight loss to Weight Watchers.

This woman lost 48 inches and "gained confidence and energy she never thought she could have." She writes, "For those of you still procrastinating and waiting to make a change in your own life, we ask you this question ... What are you waiting for??? Every day you wait is just a day behind where you could be!"

"I'm 87.2lbs down from 2010, and 36.8lbs down from January 22. Oh, and 110 days binge free."

"That pic on the left will forever be my motivation to not let myself go again no matter what I'm going through in life!"

#BounceBack and #BetterLateThanNever are the hashtags this woman used to describe her incredible transformation.

We're loving this woman's simple-yet-to-the-point inspiration: "Set a goal. Kick a$$."

"I feel more confident and I have so much more energy!"

"I decided to post this (with tons of encouragement from friends and family) in hopes that it might encourage someone else. This weight loss journey has been LONG and HARD, it didn't happen over night and I still struggle at times. But if you're struggling with weight loss or fitness goals I just want to remind you that progress IS progress no matter how small. Be consistent, keep pushing and you WILL reach your goals!"

"Two years ago I was overweight. I was unhappy and miserable. My eating habits were awful and I was constantly depressed. And then one day I said "Enough!" And here I am, deep into my fitness journey and discovery to better health. May you find your own self worth and realize you CAN change." Preach!

"Hard work and consistency = RESULTS!"

The bottom line: don't stop! Results don't happen overnight, and every little step you make to better your health will make a difference in the long run.
