57 Times People Had Incredible Glow-Ups And Stole The Show At Reunions

This is 14 months apart. Weight Watchers + daily walks for my weight loss! Spironolactone + Accutane for my acne.

After battling depression and alcoholism, I'm proud of how far I’ve come and to see the difference.

I was on substances for many, many years. I tried many times in my own to quit, but couldn't. At one point, I weighed 119 lbs soaking wet and was shooting half a gram or more into my veins. I gave my life to Christ, and everything changed. People might say that I give too much credit to God for changing me, but He was the only thing that worked. I tried everything else. I post this to encourage anyone who is going through anything (substances, emotions, situations, whatever).
God is the one who will make you glow and shine.

5 years ago, I finally got sick of the way I was living. Mentally/emotionally and physically, I was at my worst.
I had split up with my kids’ dad, became a single parent, and was dealing with some other unfortunate circumstances at the time, which was the catalyst for my change. I used intermittent fasting and keto to lose weight, and made some major mental shifts. Just a reminder of how far I’ve come!

Had no idea what was wrong with me; I spent 2 years in a relationship with a much older narcissistic/cluster B person. My skin cleared up as soon as they threatened me with psychosis, and I made the decision to leave. Best decision I've ever made, worst few years of my life. The physical healing was much quicker than the mental healing, but a year out, and I'm feeling more and more okay every day.

I used to scroll through progress photos from all over the internet just hoping I would one day have my own worth sharing.
Now I am down to 182 from 303 and still working on myself every day. If you are someone who quietly looks at these posts for motivation like I used to, you are not doing this alone.

This is my progress from a post-breakup glow-up. Hair loss and weight loss are a bit over a year of progress, and I started lifting one year ago as of Sunday!

I decided a couple years ago to get into fitness, eating healthy, and not neglecting my mental health. Depression is no joke, people. Plus, not having access to shift beers helped.

This is my 1-year body transformation! Definitely a glow-up! I’m so proud and happy about it!! I was struggling very badly in the first pic, and I know how hard it is to get out of there.

I started getting severe acne in high school. It brought down my confidence immensely and made me always want to hide my face. I used to skip school just so people wouldn’t see the insane breakouts on my face. Today, I love my skin, and I’m so grateful every day I don’t feel the need to hide my face anymore. I still get breakouts here and there, but nowhere nearly as bad as it used to be. I use spot treatments now and the breakouts never last longer than a day or two.

In the thick of new mommy mode in 2017 (28) to glowing in 2026 (37). I’ve lost almost 100 pounds slowly, and no work has been done. My eyebrows are microbladed, though! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. My man has loved me through all my phases and tells me all the time how beautiful I was then and now.
