Here are the women sharing their backward transformations…

Karina showed off side-by-side transformation pictures showing her peachy booty gains.

She previously said on an Instagram post: “Trolls will comment that I’m now “fat” BUT in reality I’m a happy, healthy lady. I was pretty unhealthy in my first photo. Not eating right and not taking care of my body.

“Yes I’ve gained weight, both fat and muscle but I’m now training four times a week and eating for my body. It’s crazy what eating and weights can do.”

Megan Jayne Crabbe

Body positive blogger Megan “doesn’t give a damn” when cruel trolls say she’d be “more f***able” if she was skinnier.

She said some people claim she has “ruined” her body by gaining a few pounds but she strongly disagrees.

Megan said “this is my happy body” and “happiness isn’t a size”.

She said: “Don’t lose the meaning of health, while trying to be healthy”.

Liza Golden-Bhojwani

Model Liza has also had her ups and downs when it has come to her body image.

Starting out in the industry, she felt the pressure to “fit in” and even fainted one night while preparing one of her low calorie meals.

She has since given up the “fight” to adhere to catwalk ideals and claims she is a lot happier for it.

Marciel Hopkins

Beauty queen Marciel claims she felt she had to lose just over two stone to take the title as Miss South Africa.

She revealed she followed a strict diet and trained up to three times a day.

Marciel may have shifted pounds, but she didn’t feel great about her body.

She said: “My boobs shrunk 2 cup sizes and my period stopped. On this specific day of the picture, I got home, freezing after the shoot, and I had a baby apple for dinner.”

The brunette beauty decided it wasn’t worth the “daily battle with food” and instead has made the choice to “strive towards being the healthiest and happiest version of herself”. Gaining Weight

She claims her body is her “new best friend”.

Amie Wiley

Amie shared with her followers her four-year journey from “skinny to strong”.

Now the fitness buff says she lifts weights and eats much more food, resulting in developing more muscle.

Confident Jolene says she’s gone from “body builder to body lover”.

The Instagrammer says that previously she used to have a gruelling gym routine and would weigh out her food.

She claims that having a six pack and shedding to compete in bodybuilding competitions didn’t make her happy.

Jolene said: “My worth is weighed by those I surround myself with and the smile on my face.”

Fitness Instagrammer Jovana said she was deeply unhappy when her body was at its slimmest.

Mackenzie Forbes

Fitness fanatic Kenzi said in the past she “struggled with restriction” when it came to food.

She said that she convinced herself that being “thin” would bring her happiness and would help her feel accepted.

On Instagram, she wrote: “Little did I know that lifting weights, not killing my body with HOURS of cardio everyday and eating enough would get me to the body I had ALWAYS wanted.”
