~bobbi ❗
PS. Friends, if you have any nice thoughts… PLEASE share them here. I know from experience how hard it is to publicly post photos like these… and 12 people did that today… so, MAJOR kudos to them! Encouragement and excitement is worth its weight in gold 🙂
Holy ^%$% over 20%!!! You look awesome, hardly recognize the old you anymore. Keep up the good work everyone.
wow, that is so awesome! Congrats to all of you! How fantastic of you to lead something so incredible Bobbi! You look so fabulous!!!!!! 🙂
WOWOWOW!! These are all soo amazing! I love it. Great job, guys!!!!
Yay! Everyone is kicking so much ass! Thanks for all the work you’re doing Bobbi. It is not going unappreciated! Also, thanks for flipping my pic after my dingbat self turned the wrong way. 🙂
looking amazing! i’m amazed at the differences in posture between the before/after pics. everyone has a right to be proud and hold their heads high! keep up the good work! 🙂
Way to go everyone!!! Fantastic pictures! Absolutely the best motivation to keep me going on this train. I didn’t get my pics taken in time for this, but may take them just to see the difference for myself. Really great jobs!!!
Also, Bobbi, do you mind if I use your edited files of my pics (with credit of course) for my blog?
Wow! Everyone looks great! Congratulations to you all!
“Poopy in your pants”? A little professionalism and maturity might suit you better.
to you Mr. Anonymous…. yeah, you’re absolutely right…. because my lack of professionalism has really hindered my business 😉
PS. a little bravery might suit you better… show yourself, coward!
Bobbi, look at that cute little butt you have now:) I am so so proud of you. You know what else I noticed, your big ole dimples you have now…and that happy smile, and that proud stance, and those smaller jeans and those…okay I’ll just shush now. You rocked it girlfriend. Yay for you!!!
Ahhh my dream of being in my underwear on bobbi’s blog has finally come true! Yay! And why am I the only dude with a progress pic??? Let’s go fellas!
By the way, that anonymous poster can eat it. Show yourself, punk! 🙂
Everyone looks FANTASTIC!!! I really can’t wait to see the final results!
WOW!! You all look amazing!! Way to go!!! Seeing this post really makes me wish I had jumped on the healthy train so I could have an awesome progress pic too. Congrats! Keep it up!
there are tears in my eyes over these. I am so inspired by other people, and these are beyond awesome. Way to go, everyone. You are all doing so, so well. Keep it up!!!

First and foremost… I LOVE Bon Jovi! Bobbi~ Your face in 2008 doesn’t look happy 🙁 The change in your face alone is incredible!! I can’t wait to see the final pictures! Healthy train is rocking it. Thanks for letting me be a part of this incredible journey. PS- Anonymous is lame.
I didn’t even bother with the progress pic because there is no difference! UGH. Good news is, these changes have totally inspired me. Right after seeing these, i poured my glass of coke down the drain (i know, coke abuse) and got out a bottled water. I then marked a DIY project off my evening to-do list and replaced it with a workout!
You all look totally amazing!! Bobbi, OH MY GOODNESS! You look great! Scott, Jill AH-MAZING! I have been offline for the last few weeks but I am still chug chugging away. It may be too late for the post but I am going to take some pics this weekend. See you all around! <3
Mich- I mad that your before pic looks like a prison photo- you are officially the HOTNESS! Bobbi Jo- It be inappropriate for me to comment on how fabulous your ass looks, so I’ll keep it a little more PG and just say your hair looks frickin’ hot- GO TEAM!
This was HUGELY motivational for me! If anyone hasn’t taken photos, DO IT, RIGHT NOW. I know that I’ve lost weight, but sometimes I feel like it’s all still with me- this was a great visual to show me that it’s really gone. Way to go everyone!
I have been terrible about the commenting- I’ll be trying to do better in that area- but here are some of the things that have helped me along the way…
1) Drinking water out of the fancy-pants bottle that you have to bite for it to open (aka, kind of an adult sippy cup) Bobbi has mentioned them and I AM A FAN!
2) Adding exercise to my life and eating things that are good for me. Who knew that would work, really? 🙂
3) Getting rid of my “all or nothing” attitude. So many diets/weight loss plans/exercise regimes have failed because I slipped once and thought it was a lost cause and therefore just gave up. I’m proud to say I’m not there anymore. I know that if I eat something that really isn’t good for me (and I will…probably at least weekly…), that doesn’t give me the right to give up on myself. I don’t beat myself up over french fries anymore…
4) Repeating the phrase “not an option,” in my head, A LOT. Especially at first. When I didn’t want to work out because it hurt, I was hot, I was bored, I just kept telling myself that being unhealthy was not going to be an option for me. This has also worked well with dieting. It’s permanently embedded in my mind!
So there’s a lot of info from me to make up for all the other posts I’ve failed to comment on.
Again, GREAT WORK, EVERYONE!
Angie Livesay
Andrea- I was JUST going to say something about Bobbi’s booty looking lovely and then I saw your post. hahaha
Bobbi- You look so much younger in your after pictures. I can really see your loss so I don’t know what happened with the first pictures you took but you look great! I can really see it in your arms, too!
WOW seeing the differences is so great! Congrats to all 🙂 Also, I admire and appreciate your bravery…thank you! Bobbi…bomb.com as always!!!
Bobbi, I just spent a couple of days reading old blog posts and feeling so inspired! Not only by your amazing images, which I love!, but by your journey to better health. You look great!
Awesome job everyone! And Scott! You are brave. 😉
Everyone looks freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I’d gotten my act together in time to participate. I can see a big difference in every before and after!
Wow you all look amazing. I think I might have to join you if you do this again
Such inspiring pictures!!
You’ve all really inspired me. I NEED to get on the health train… late is better than never, right?
Well done everyone for having such discipline, and long may you be reaping the rewards of it!
This post, and these pics and all the progress represented here deserves a woot. So I say WOOT WOOT to you all! Good work! Keep it up!
AMAZING work guys! and bobbi – wow what a transformation. you should be so proud. ive been following this since the beginning. great job! x
Super amazing, all around. SUPER AMAZING, ALL AROUND!
GO GO GO
Bobbi – you look younger, seriously – a new person.
bobbi, I am totally blown away by how much hard work you (and everyone else on here) have done!!! I admire it SO SO SO much, and can safely say I don’t know that I would have it in me to do it myself. It’s AMAZING! for reals.
good job everyone!!! 😀
WOW – incredible results – and Bobbi, you look absolutely AH-MAY-ZING 🙂 Good for you for losing the weight AND for motivating others to do the same – kudos to YOU for that!
holy cow…this is only half way!?!? i cannot wait to see the end results. how inspirational. p.s. bobbi you look FANTASTIC – seeing those pictures from 2008 prove what a long way you have come!
wow!! everyone looks great… love seeing the progress. very inspiring!
You look awesome! Makes me (Wendy) want to get on board. What a difference. Keep up the work and keep making amazing photos!
All of you…. AMAZING. WOWZEE!
WOWWEEEEEEEE…………………… Bobbi you are so HOT. I love you for your strength and willpower. You are truly the “BOMBA”. I know how hard you have worked for the awesome results you have made. I am starting my “Health Train” serious on Monday. That would be after the Brickyard Race, today.
Love you bunches

Bobbi, you look great. I love your hair. You went from short to long hair and I think I am going to cut all my long hair off! I’ve always kind of thought my hair “hid” how large I was and now my face is thinner so I think a change in hairstyles is needed for me! 🙂
I love that you are doing this. It is so helpful to have all the inspiration. You rock!!
You guys are such wonderful inspiration. Thank you! 🙂 and Keep up the good work. So proud of all of you 🙂
You guys are amazing! Great job! I didn’t have a chance to get my mid way pics in, but I am on track again and just passed 50 pounds total gone since the start of healthy train #1! Those of you who are saying “I need to” Change that statement to “I am going to”. It makes all of the difference in how you attack this. Angie is right on about not letting one bad day or one bad week derail everything! Oh and bobbi? Looking mighty hot- we may just see those legs yet!:) Thank you for all that you do!
I just yelled out “HOLY SH!T” Great job everyone!!! WOw. So proud of you guys!! I need to jump back on and get to work on losing the last bit of weight on me! My goal for this week is to lose 2 lbs.
congrats!!! you all look SO GOOD!!! yay!!!!!
I don’t comment often, but I couldn’t help myself with this! CONGRATS to all of YOU, and I think it is so AWESOME Bobbi that you set up this system of support via the internet for so many people to come together and strive for better health and cheer each other on. Such a great idea! Keep up the good work everyone! =)
AMAZINGNESS!!! You all ROCK!! These photos are awesome!! Congrats to everyone!! Keep up the great work!!!
Heather, I just went back and looked at your picture again. Damn girl! Work it!
Wow way to go everyone! Keep up the good work!
Not to be a perv, but I’m wondering if Jessica is wearing the same bra in her before and after shots. As a mama of 4 babies I’m very curious 😉 I’m really hoping it’s the same bra because that would give me tons of hope. I also noticed that Scott’s pecs are lifted as well. And I was so encouraged by Heather’s photos. Heather, you’re losing your belly! How awesome is that?! I want to lose my belly too. Bobbie, I could see a big difference in your latest before and after pics, too. I saw a big difference in your face and arms. Lookin’ pretty damn good!
EVERYONE is looking great! I’m encouraged.
Bobbi, you look AAA—–MAZING! Congrats! You look just beautiful! Not that you weren’t adorable and beautiful before 🙂
Ashley, I’m guessing it’s a new bra. I only happen to know that because it’s a bra that I suggested and feel VERY strongly about… just by wearing it, you’ll lose ten pounds! 😀 http://www.onehanesplace.com/product/21455.html?cgnbr=3071000000 You can thank me later 🙂
OMG! Bobbi you look amazing! WOW! Great job girl! YOu are totally motivating me right now! WOW! Did I say that already??
Congrats!
wow, bobbi! you look F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. (and so do all your healthy train friends!) keep it up chicka!
wowowowowowowowowo to all the transitions so amazing!!!! keep it up it’s so obviously worth it!
wowza girlfriend. You, and everyone else that has jumped this train is incredibly amazing. Kudo to you for sticking to it, and for sharing these images to inspire the rest of us. You have. Starting now, it is GAME ON! And I had to mention that I think it’s hilarious you still wear the same brand of socks after all that time….made me smile:)
You look AWESOME and I love your hair!!
