25. Pinching An Inch

This woman is wearing the same dress in both of these pictures - but in the 'after' photo she has to pinch it from behind to make it fit her shape because of all the weight she's lost! She says she never struggled with her weight until she was in her last year of high school, but then found it shot up sharply. By her mid-20s, she was 225 pounds. Shortly after that, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and she thought she'd permanently ruined her body.

Happily for her, she was wrong. She consulted with her doctor to put together a healthy diet plan, and in the time between these two pictures she dropped an incredible 98 pounds. Best of all, she's no longer diabetic. She says that isn't the best thing though - she literally cries years of happiness when she drops a clothing size, and it gives her the motivation to keep on going.
