Popsugar Health & Fitness Then And Now BBG Transformations 2018 Here Are the Best BBG Transformations We've Seen in 2018 — So Far 23 March 2018 by Dominique Michelle Astorino Image Source: Instagram user kaileywillsjourney If you're looking to get in shape, lose weight, feel stronger, or make a major change to your life, you might want to give BBG a shot. Kayla Itsines's ultrapopular fitness guide helps build strength and confidence and has produced some of the most awe-inspiring before-and-after transformation photos we've ever seen. We've been ogling her Instagram feed for years and talking to women about their experience with the workouts and healthy eating guide — here are some of our favourite transformations of 2018 so far! Focusing on a healthier mindset this month. I FINALLY got rid of my scale this morning. I woke up at 6am and immediately weighed myself. I was super disappointed (why do I expect to lose weight every day?) and then realized I needed to stop this unhealthy habit of weighing myself twice a day. I finally threw away my scale. I've talked about this unhealthy habit quite a few times but it took me way too long to get rid of the problem. It's scary to not know if I'm gaining weight or losing weight every week, but I need to trust the process. I'm focusing on eating right and exercising in moderation, so I need to trust that results will follow. It's so important to have a healthy mindset even before focusing on the body. I don't want to lose weight in an unhealthy manner. I want to be healthy overall and that is my goal for 2018. Let's do it! . . . #keto #ketolife #ketodiet #bbg #bbgcommunity #bbgprogress #ketogenicdiet #ketogenic #weightlossjourney #weightloss #pcos #weightlosstransformation #healthyeating #transformationtuesday #intermittentfasting A post shared by julieanakim • OC (@julieanakim) on Mar 21, 2018 at 10:11am PDT 1 / 11 #transformationtuesday . . There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the way I looked at age 44. ⬆️ I felt reasonably confident and (mostly) comfortable with myself. . . Looking back on those days, I remember “hydrating” myself with many Diet Cokes and indulging in a few too many empty carbs & sweets. I also remember the sleeves on that top feeling a bit tight on my arms; and wanting to get out of those jeans after a few hours because they felt progressively tighter around my belly throughout the day! . . Ladies, the BEST part of taking better care of myself (besides having more energy and feeling like I look younger) is having my clothes fit properly and not having to deal with that constant bloat! . . Workout 🏋🏼♀️ stay active 🏃🏽♀️ fuel yourself with mostly nutritious food, and hydrate with lots of water 💧!! Your body will thank you 🙏🏻 and your clothes will fit better‼️ . . #winwin . . . #workout #bbg #bbgcommunity #bbgmoms #bbgmotivation #bbgover40 #bbgover50 #bbgprogress #bbgstronger #bbgtransformation #bodytransformation #fitmom #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnesslifestyle #fitnessmotivation #fitover40 #fitover50 #healthylifestyle #kaylaitsines #motivation #strongnotskinny #sweatwithkayla #100strong #sweat12wc A post shared by Chelle 🌷 (@chelle.fit.mama) on Mar 13, 2018 at 5:58am PDT 2 / 11 The only thing wrong in the left pic is my selfconcious. I hated my body but now I’ve learned to love it. The biggest change has happened in my head 💪💛 . . @kayla_itsines #bbg#bbggirl#bbgprogress#weightloss#fitspo#beforeandafter A post shared by Anna Mäkelä (@annasfit) on Mar 14, 2018 at 12:52pm PDT 3 / 11 I can't even tell you how many times this photo has done the rounds. I get tagged or DM'd this pic from another page reposting at least once a day, and I want to make sure none of you are getting lead astray!! The ONLY thing I did to achieve these results in 15 weeks after I had Tao was eat healthy and do @kayla_itsines BBG guide in the sweat app. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE!! Not diet pills, no one else's guides, no magic stupid tummy sucker corset, no silly "fat loss teas". Simple healthy nutrition and BBG. I HATE seeing companies steal my pic and advertise for their own shit. They have even gone as far to post on their websites and Pinterest. I even called one company out on Facebook and their response was "I'm sorry, we know you didn't use this product but if we don't put up a click bait picture, no one will read the article" 🙄😡. Another website said I was Briana Taylor and had taken some fat loss pills to achieve these results! WRONG! So please know, I have NEVER given permission to anyone to repost my picture, especially not to advertise their products that I have never used, despite the fact I get offered big money for them to do so. It's disgusting and wrong, and I'd never want people to waste their money on a fucking lie!!! And after this baby, I will continue again to use the @sweat app and that app only. I'll start with @kelseywells Postpartum guide and then get back into @kayla_itsines BBG guide where I can do it at home. The same guide I have always done for the past 3 and a half years!!

Today you all get the full frontal...🙈 I literally can't believe the difference between the two. I haven't even looked at the first picture since I took it - probably because I was traumatized by the sheer enormity of my belly. My goals this month are to eat as clean as possible whilst continuing with BBG.👐 #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgcalgary #bbgyyc #thekaylamovement #bbg #bbgover30 #bravebbg #kaylaitsines #bbgcommunity #bbgprogress #bbgtransformation #bbgcanada A post shared by Carla D (@getfitcarlacalgary) on Feb 11, 2016 at 8:49pm PST 5 / 11 Oct 2015 v Dec 2017 Depression v Balance Lost v Hopeful Never Dated v So Experienced in 1st Dates😂 (Idk if this one is a good thing, but since were comparing things) A Dreamer v A Doer A wannabe director v a director Afraid of cycling class v @soulcycle obsessed Hates Running v Can Run 2 miles jn 16 minutes (My 12 year old self would be in disbelief) Afraid of Mistakes v Realizing That Everything is a Lesson Impatient v Learning to be Patient (Even if I suck at it 😅) I started @kayla_itsines BBG program at a very confusing time in my life! I was proud of what I had completed with finishing my masters, but also so lost as to what was next. I was unhappy with my body and felt like I would never be. The last two years haven’t been perfect. I have made some mistakes, lost weight, gained weight, dated guys who have treated me poorly and also ghosted others... there have been ups and downs. It’s been a wild ride and I have learned that I truly am more capable than I realize! Our body’s are incredible. Our minds are incredible. Our souls are incredible. I’m grateful for each life adventure and for everything that has happened. Things happen for a reason, wether we like them or not... I started this account for accountability. I started it for fun when it didn’t matter. This account is my journal and I’m grateful for everything it holds and all the people it has brought into my life 😘😘😘but The truth is, I have also gotten sucked in to the likes and follows and I think it’s time I take a breaks... it’s the holidays and while I LOVE social media. The holidays are about being present with the ones you love and I’ve let this space affect my emotions more than I’d like to admit. I’m grateful for the journey and this is not goodbye. But I think it’s time to say see you later 💕 Until then, remember it’s not about the end result, it’s about the journey and all the things you learn and YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE ❤️ A post shared by Samantha Alexandra (@wanderlust.sam) on Dec 13, 2017 at 9:13pm PST 6 / 11 Over the years I created so many rules, restrictions, and fears around food. I tried all the diets, took all the pills, starved myself, purged my body in unhealthy ways, and 10 years later I finally realized that I didn't want to live like that anymore! I hated being controlled by food, I was sick of dieting, I wanted to feel confident in my body but wasn't going to risk the health of my mind just to be skinny! I wish I could say it was easy... changing your habits is hard! It takes intention and patience. I still struggle with loving my body the way it is, I still get tempted with the thought of doing another diet, and I still get the urge to binge. I think I will battle those demons for the rest of my life, BUT.... it's so much easier now. I want you to know that everything your doing now, all the decisions you make towards being a better, healthier you MATTER! I know that it can feel like your on a hamster wheel at times but please don't give up, and never quit! I believe in you 😊 . . . . #bbg #kaylasarmy #kaylaitsines #bbgprogress #instafit #exercisemotivation #bikini #beforeandafter #bodyconfidence #selflove #bopo #healthymom #fitfam #fitmama #fitnessblogger #fitnessmotivation #instagood #patience #progressnotperfection A post shared by Lexie Woodmansee (@lexiesfitlife) on Mar 22, 2018 at 11:15am PDT 7 / 11 I’m remember that the results weren’t instant. That it didn’t happen overnight. There’s a reason my instagram name has journey in it. When you hit a blip and want an easy fix it’s so easy for forget that.

So it's not #transformationtuesday but guess what it is for me ⁉️❓❓❓My ONE YEAR #kaylaversary !!! 🎉🙏🏻. That's right , it's been one year since I started on this #fitnessjourney and I gotta tell ya ... when we (my bf Michael does all the workouts with me 😍) started I definitely did not think I'd do this for an entire year .🤔(sounded kinda crazy to me actually ) I thought we would at least make it to 12 weeks and I'd be happy with that , on my way and have it all figured out . It wasn't until I started seeing other #bbg girls celebrating THEIR Kaylaversarys and going even further that I realized it might take longer AND understood what the concept "lifestyle" really meant . Trust me , I had doubts along the way (if I'd make it ), I felt discouraged because sometimes I didn't see changes , I had moments where I found myself letting those excuses enter my head and almost put the workout on the back burner ..,. BUT because of this fitness community and the motivation , support, inspiration and the silly gratuitous #selfies (yes, they play a part in this ), I kept going and I couldn't be happier !! 🙌. And you see this photo? Not a huge diff is it ? The first one is actually from a few years ago when I first attempted the workout and quit , but that's pretty much how I looked at the beginning of last year (maybe a little more #cellulite though ) and it shows just how slow and minor some of the changes may look in the mirror but I know just how much of a transformation this has been for me and you will too. So don't get frustrated and think it's going to happen quickly , especially if your starting point is much further off than my starting point (I was running back then ) . It might take a year , or two years or even three years but who cares ?! The point is that you get started ..... and you NEVER stop! You adopt a fitness life by implementing exercise into your weekly routine , you make some adjustments in your food choices and you continue . Period. Big kudos and thanks to @kayla_itsines and @tobi_pearce for creating this workout and bringing this community together ! 🙌 cont. in comments .... A post shared by Carrie 💪 48 & Feelin' Great! (@fitbyfifty.us) on Feb 26, 2018 at 5:12am PST 9 / 11 15 weeks of @kayla_itsines #bbg program down and this is where I’m standing. I’m extremely proud of myself and happy with my progress! Also, would you believe me if I️ told you this was only a 8lbs difference? 👀 My journey so far has looked a lot different than my first Postpartum journey and it definitely hasn’t been as easy this time around. The extra weight I️ gained while pregnant hasn’t just melted off from breastfeeding like it did after having Indie. This time I’ve really had to work extra hard for my results and since I️ know that consistency is key, that has been my main goal. Combined of course with a whole food plant based vegan lifestyle 🙌🏼🍌🍠🥑 I’m super happy with my #bbgprogress and I️ can’t wait to see how much stronger I’m still going to get! #postpartumbody #bbgmoms A post shared by Naturally Julia 🌿 Vegan (@naturallyjulia) on Nov 8, 2017 at 8:46am PST 10 / 11 I don’t know about you guys but during the week I am GREAT about eating healthy, keeping under my calorie goal, and eating proper portions, but when the weekend rolls around it’s like I lose all self control and I eat EVERYTHING 😅 We always make big breakfasts on the weekends plus we are always out doing things since my husband is off work so we usually end up eating out and I always wake up Monday morning feeling gross, bloated and disappointed in my eating choices. I usually spend all day beating myself up about it and today was no different. So I looked in the mirror and took these pictures to remind myself how far I’ve come. It didn’t take just 2 days of eating healthy and working out to lose all the weight and 2 days of indulging surely isn’t going to wreck all the progress I’ve worked for. See, balance is something I really really struggle with. They say the rule is 80/20, eat healthy 80% of the time and indulge 20% so I feel like maybe I’m not doing too bad? Who knows, most days I am still just trying to figure all of this out 😂 I just wanted to let you guys know that even I struggle and it’s okay! The great thing is is that on Monday you always get to reset and start over right?
