If 2019 is your year to get leaner, stronger, and take control of your health, you'll find instant inspiration in these amazing transformation photos. They prove that although losing 100 pounds is no easy feat and takes extreme dedication and commitment, with consistency and belief in yourself, it's absolutely possible!

"When I got rid of all my bullsh*t excuses, that's when things started changing for the better. I went from feeling like a hopeless prisoner in my body, to realizing I put myself in that situation, and that I could get myself out. No matter how bad your situation, you can always do something about it!"

"Sometimes I forget how it felt to be 100lbs overweight. I forget what it was like to shop for clothes and struggle to find styles I liked, or that flattered me. When I look at these pictures I'm reminded of how far I've come and all the work it has taken to get here."

"See, it's really easy to be in denial when you spend months avoiding cameras and mirrors, but this picture hit me like a truck. I knew something needed to change, so I set a New Years resolution. I lose 80lbs that year, and another 30 the following year."

"I told myself if I don't take control, something else will."

"100lbs lost and now I am able to feel confident and comfortable while adventuring."

"I'm so proud of this 110lb difference! I've 'failed' on this journey a million times. I've stumbled, I've given up, I've restarted...all of it over and over and over. And it doesn't matter how long it's taken or how long it ends up taking...I'm so proud of the work I've had to do to lose this weight."

"Oct 2017 ➡️ Dec 2018
I still have a lot to work on, but Im so glad I'm not where I used to be."

"My journey started in August if 2015 and I've had my ups and downs weight wise, but I have become more body positive and comfortable in my own skin. I no longer resent who I am and accept that my body is beautiful, strong and capable of so much more than I give it credit for."

"Jan 2015 right before I reset and got serious to last month."

"I go back and forth between being super strict with myself and going totally wild by eating/drinking everything in sight, but I'm a work in progress!! I don't have much else to post, so here's another transformation photo 🙈 there's about 100lbs between these photos."

"❄I'm out with friends
❄After all the junk is eaten.
❄I don't want to waste food. This is what I use to constantly say to myself. Daily. 😔 can you relate? The truth is, there is ALWAYS something going on. There is always a reason not to."

"Halloween 2013: 245 pounds
May 2018: 138 pounds

A LOT has changed in the last five years. While the physical transformation might be the most obvious, the mental strength I uncovered on my weight loss journey is BY FAR more profound."
