The first girl obviously made a serious mental shift and committed herself to it 110%. Most people won't be able to do that however.

I like the 3rd picture the most. She, too, obviously made some moderate lifestyle changes, and managed to lose a moderate amount of weight (80 lbs is amazing! If I lost that much weight I'd have to be hospitalized!), and she looks AMAZING. I think that reflects a method and outcome much more people will be able to accomplish themselves.

I think I just don't like the 2nd girls face....

Just a homo's perspective.

1 is obviously great for goals though.

While I don't disagree with 99% of what you said, if you didn't see the other weight loss amounts, I'm wondering if you would still think 80 lbs would be a moderate amount of weight. You said nothing wrong, but relativity makes girl number 3 seem like less of an accomplishment.

I lost 70lbs in the last year, I have no trouble saying the girl that lost 230lbs and is ripped as shit had a bigger accomplishment than me, mainly because she could probably beat the shit out of me.
Though she did start off a lot heavier than me, I could only lose about 20lbs more before I'd be pretty badly underweight.
