After battling through tears, sweat and countless trips to the gym, these stunning women have shown off their incredible results.
Different triggers sparked these ladies’ weight loss journeys.
While some became too embarrassed to look in the mirror, others were shamed into turning their lives around by their partners.
And since kicking their binge eating ways, they haven’t looked back.
From flab to fab, here are 12 of the most incredible before and after weight loss snaps of all time…
1. Jennifer Edwards
A singer who tipped the scales at 18 STONE wrote her weight on her hand every day to shock herself into shedding the pounds… and now she’s doing bikini contests.
Jennifer Edwards, from New York, who piled on the pounds as a student, was in denial until she was kicked off a roller-coaster for being “too wide to ride”.
Forced to face the truth, the 26-year-old hired a personal trainer and overhauled her diet, which helped her to lose five-and-a-half stone.
To complete her incredible transformation, the trained jazz singer had 1.2 stone of excess skin removed six months ago.
2. Haley Smith
Haley Smith, 24, Texas, felt humiliated when she saw her “embarrassing” proposal photos which reduced her to tears.
At the time she weighed a whopping 19.8 stone and she was horrified by her size when their specially commissioned engagement snaps came back.
Haley vowed to slim down in time for her wedding, so took up running and swapped her junk-food diet for plenty of fruit and veg.
She has since shed seven stone and now works as a fitness guru and Instagram model.
3. Tiffaney Anderson
An obese mum who gorged on eight McDonald’s every morning and spent over a thousand pounds on takeaways in a month has unveiled her incredible transformation.
Tiffaney Anderson, 26, from Utah, USA, tipped the scales at 29st 7lbs thanks to a fast food addiction that saw her consume 11,000 calories of burgers, pizzas and sugary drinks every day.
The full-time mum of two, who says her traumatic childhood led her to overeat, underwent a gastric sleeves operation and a mini gastric bypass after her weight triggered a stroke.
Now Tiffaney is unrecognisable after shedding 17st and is fundraising to help pay for surgery to remove her excess skin.

The 24-year-old sees it as the ultimate revenge — and she has now found love again with someone who shares her passion for exercise.
