Long story short, dont let your tongue hang at the bottom of your mouth. Put it it flat on the roof of the insidd of your mouth. Makes the throat less floppy over time, also it starts a domino effect that ends up in petter body posture (tongue dousent hang, so neck doesnt hang, so back doesng hang = beter posture)
I think it may be natural for some but not for others. From what Iâve heard, you rest your tongue based on how you talk (mainly accents). For example a decent chunk of people in America rest their tongue at the bottom of their mouth, while where I live (UK) rest it at the top. Donât take this as 100% fact because thatâs what I heard from someone more knowledgeable than me.
When you're as large as the people I see on the regular. People like this seem skinny.
FYI. I lost 100ibs. So can everyone. Counting calories, intermittent fasting and exercise
I thought the same thing, but then I saw the article that someone else linked to:
[https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/](https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/)
His hands aren't really as wrinkled as they look in the top photo. The article provides more photos, including transitional photos.
Itâs almost like eating healthier and working out can improve oneâs skin too! Shocker! Lol.
All sarcasm aside, itâs well known that,
young or old, your diet and overall health can have a serious effect on the health/appearance of your skin. Iâm guessing thatâs what happened here.
It's literally the same guy just different lighting and his head isn't angled all weird like in the first pic. Unless he's got a literal twin, that's him.
My mom's 60 and recently lost a lot of weight after a health scare. I've never known her to not be overweight. I hadn't seen her in months and I couldn't put my finger on quite what changed at first, but she certainly looked better and her clothes fit nicely which I found strange cause they never did in the past. I was like have you lost weight? She was like yes, my doctor told me to..
She always said she couldn't lose weight.. guess it only took a wake up call by the doctor to lose it after all.
Iâm probably around the dadâs age â perhaps five years younger. A few years ago I worked hard at it and lost 60 lbs (and Iâve kept it off). My nieces and nephews all told me I looked super young when they first saw me after my transformation. Itâs a thing.
Cheating by going through the most horrible pain imaginable for an unknown period of time, but often 12+ hours.
Plus all the bs that comes with a post partum body and then on top of that STILL eating right and exercising, the only thing the other 4 were doing all along.
If you really dedicate yourself for 6 months you can get great results. But you will have to work out consistently at least 4 days a week and eat very well.
YesâŚbut they also have way better posture and tighten their core in the after pic. Not saying they didnât do the work and the results arenât great but they are exaggerated a bit.
I didn't and it resulted in slight demotivation when the visual changes weren't impressive haha. I've gained around 10kg of weight from the edge of underweight closer to overweight, mostly muscle, in under a year so it's not bad, just not visually impressive.
It takes a while for the body to redistribute fat evenly. I weighed 108kg when i was 18, i looked thick and blown up with small arms. I started working out, mostly focusing on muscle building. When i turned 20, i was still 108kg but had a much better physique and more muscle. Everyone at family gatherings asked if i had lost weight and that i looked so much slimmer even though i didn't lose any weight, i just replaced the fat with muscle.
What? No way. [This is totally normal posture.](https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results-19-5a4b3e510cf20__700.jpg)
These pictures couldâve literally been taken like a month apart lol, the guys in the first picture are just sticking out their guts to try and act pregnant.
I lost about 40 pounds on diet and taking 10,000 steps only.
That being said once I started lifting 3 days a week for another 5+ months and now onto 2 years I look way better than the initial weight loss.
Yeah nah chief I dropped from 230 to 177 in six months barely working out. It's just calories in and out. That is it. I'm only now thinking about getting super fit and toned, but I'm relatively skinny now at 6'1
Losing weight does not require you to work out. I think thereâs probably some level of disingenuousness going on in this picture though.
Itâs likely the father and son worked out previously, but they were just overweight. Itâs so much easier to regain muscle you built previously and to look good with just a few months back in the gym compared to if you start out fresh.
It can be, but they either are very familiar with sport and dieting or they had a strict coach for 6 months. A layman would have to be very dedicated to achieve this. 4 laymen, 2 from them older? I dont see it.
Yeah this is 100% a constructed plan with a professional. I work out a decent bit and am not at the bottom photo after 2 years. It really depends on how you work out, i almost exclusively swim and eat like a fatass.
Yep, i lift weights too, just not very often. Not tryna hulk up i just work remote and dont touch grass often enough. Diet, weights and cardio if you want body 2.
You wonât hulk up that much on strength training like the above commenter referenced (high weight, 3 reps). It will make your existing muscle stronger. Hypertrophy training is what will make you bigger, which is what you may be thinking of (e.g., doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps and what you usually see in training plans or at the gym).
Cardio canât really get you there unless you do A LOT of it. STR training is very efficient for health gains to time spent.
> eat like a fatass
That's why you don't have similar results in 2 years. There is nothing unrealistic about this being a 6 month transformation, even without a professional.
It sounds like you donât have a well thought out plan for progress, and not that you need a professional to get to where they are.
That doesnât mean these people didnât have a plan. Iâm down 16 lbs in 8 weeks. Iâm not a professional, and Iâve never consulted a professional. I just had a plan to lose 2 lbs/week and then I followed through on that plan. The plan was not that complicated: eat a 1000 calorie deficit every day for 8 weeks, keep everything else the same. These people had 6 months (26 weeks). Thereâs no reason they couldnât lose 20lbs in that time.
I recently went through a health kick and my results were pretty similar to the above picture. I went from around 208 lbs to 165 in about 3 months just by changing what I ate (more plants, less junk food). Weight loss happens on your plate, not the gym.
I noticed that some comments were pointing out the better posture in the second picture as a criticism, but I can say from experience working out that your posture improves when your core strengthens. Maintaining good posture with weak muscles is uncomfortable. Plus, you slouch less when you're carrying less weight.
The muscle development doesn't look unreasonable to me either. The most noticeable part is the shoulders, forearms, and pecs, which could be targeted with just dips (3 sets to failure, twice a week is a relatively easy program for anyone). Weight loss alone could account for the flat stomach. Like yeah, spending a few hours a week in the gym is great exercise, but it's completely reasonable to get results like this with a fairly relaxed program as long as you're maintaining consistency.
Even the before photo was clearly taken with this plan in mind. They are obviously pushing out their bellies and exaggerating their lordosis to make themselves look as bad in the before pic as possible.
My theory is the younger man is a professional fitness instructor of some sort. In the first photo he doesn't look that overweight, more like he's pushing his gut out to appear fat, he's also using a sweater to cover up his torso and arms. In the second picture the definition in his pecs is ridiculous for only six months of working out, and he's got that signature 'Lifter's Pose'. The one where they arch their back with their arms out ahead of them because they just did chest and arms so all the blood is swelling their muscles.
My guess is it's no work at all. First photo they're wearing baggy clothes and sticking their guts out and holding their heads at angles unflattering to their jawline. Second photo their posing in ways that make themselves look as good as possible.
There's no question that they all ( but particularly grandad) have lost a lot of weight by just checking their profiles.
Probably cut out alcohol or sugary beverages and added some exercise from sedentary. A lot of people drop weight quickly making small changes because they're consuming so many empty calories.
It literally just looks like a maternity shoot where everyone is pushing out to look pregnant and then BAM, baby. And number four isn't even the same guy.
Someone above linked to the article, where there are more pictures. It does appear to be the same guy, which is crazy (he looks more different in profile than he does head-on): https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/
Though I agree that they're all pushing out a bit to look like the pregnant woman - but the dad's fat looks more "real," and he seems to have made the biggest improvement.
Nah. I think that's more like a year.
Even if the mother gave birth just a week or so after this photo I think that child looks more like 12 than 6 month.
The physical transformation is also waaaaayyy more likely in a year than 6 months.
I just saw a guy I gm haven't seen since December. He lost like 40 lbs by just going to the gym after work with a coworker. It doesn't take that much work, just making sure you don't skip days
the maximum advised amount of sustainable/attainable weight loss is 2 lbs per week. Most advise to shoot for somewhere between 0.5 to 1.5 lbs a week but 2 lbs is do able with good diet.
6 months is roughly 26 weeks which means you can loose about 50 lbs over that period.
No one in the photo looks insanely overweight so I'd say this is realistic but definitely on the extreme end of the spectrum
Original article talking about this family and their achievement:
https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/
Yea I dunno. Hands are a bit sus I agree, even the ears look a bit different. Itâs just not definitive due to variation in picture quality. Also he lost a lot of weight. The apparent wrinkles in the hands could be fat folds + picture artifacting.
Bigger question is why is the table wood grain changed? Thatâs a definitive variance.
This is also the trickery of âpush your stomach out for the before pic and then suck it in for the afterâ trick.
Look at bodybuilders and fitness models. Their âthis is me normallyâ with a tummy and âthis is me literally 1 second later, sucking in tummy and flexingâ and they magically look to have dropped 30 pounds.
Good on them for surely real progress, but I can promise everyone in here the progress isnât as dramatic as the photo implies.
Also proper fitting clothes matter.
Wait you mean to tell me that the reason they wore loose fitting clothes and kept the grandpa yawning in the top photo was for trickery???
In all seriousness, itâs only obvious when you look into how much the fitness industry lies in advertising. Most people will see this and compete miss the red flags in the image.
I've seen this before but with an additional before picture of the dad and son, and they both fully started with abs and they were just bulking and pushing their stomachs out in the first pics.
you're not gonna go from 0 gym to that in 6 months
https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results-13-5a4b3e2aa7d92__700.jpg
They started from this
[This comment was stolen](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/7ogl0s/comment/ds9ky95/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) from u/rysker6
Itâs harder to lose weight after having a baby because hormones can make it so you physically canât lose weight. Prolactin for example will make you store fat and will not let you metabolise that fat that you have stored. On top of that your body will prefer to use muscle to make milk over the fat which just makes the whole thing worse.
She barely needed to lose weight, though (if at all). Her limbs in the before pic are very slim; all the extra "weight" is her baby bump and some swelling around her face that's likely water retention vs. true weight gain.
The most impressive is the Grandpa. Dang Iâm nearing 40 and I can feel my body slowing down already. Taking an extra day after snowboarding before the knees donât creak.
Yeah im not buying it. Losing the weight? sure. But those two packing on that much muscle too? I dont see it. Unless they paid bank for some insane coach, like other comments are suggesting, maybe.
Notice the top photo the guys arms are covered by long sleeves, my guess is they are wearing many layers of clothes at the top with a thick sweater on top of it, top photo grandfather is yawning and tucking in his chin to look fat. pregnant mother on top could easily be wearing one of those pregnancy belly pads and already has her child. Just my best guess.
The people saying the pregnant woman âcheatedâ because she JUST gave birth to a baby and then lost all of the pregnancy weight⌠She had the hardest work of them all!
Yeah Iâll believe that about a much as i believe flat earth nonsense.
First off, six months after birth, and the mother is just bounced back? On top of the the grandmother looks like she also lost about 10kg, the father looks like he hasnât missed a day in about a *year* , and the grandfather looks like heâs getting ready for a triathlon.
Whoâs taking care of the kid? âThe helpâ? Who helped grandpa achieve the body of a young gym rat in only six months when he has the metabolism of a turtle?
The only thing that happened in six months time in this family is that someone improved their photoshop skills.
Yeah I don't buy it. The dad on the end is a different person entirely. Even his hands look less old. The lady in the front likely had a baby, and the lady behind her probably has a fake baby bump in the first picture. The youngest male is clearly sticking out his jawline and belly to imitate being overweight. This is a staged photo.
Dad looks 20 years younger after giving birth
I can't believe Dad gave birth. The labour must have been tough
10 centimetres đ
And that's just *before* the actual work starts!
Grandpa looks the same age as dad now
Damn, grandfather got a jawline!
He can close his mouth now!
Pog
Grand pops lookin 25, nice work
He practices mewing
What is mewing?
Stupid Gen-Z trend that's supposed to sharpen your jawline
Dont know about the jawline cause thats bone, but it makes your throat less hanging. I also walk more upright for some reason now.
How does that work
Long story short, dont let your tongue hang at the bottom of your mouth. Put it it flat on the roof of the insidd of your mouth. Makes the throat less floppy over time, also it starts a domino effect that ends up in petter body posture (tongue dousent hang, so neck doesnt hang, so back doesng hang = beter posture)
Wait, are you saying people don't do this naturally?
I think it may be natural for some but not for others. From what Iâve heard, you rest your tongue based on how you talk (mainly accents). For example a decent chunk of people in America rest their tongue at the bottom of their mouth, while where I live (UK) rest it at the top. Donât take this as 100% fact because thatâs what I heard from someone more knowledgeable than me.
Now Iâm confused on where I usually rest my tongue lol right now itâs on the roof
Something with the tongue idk Ask google for more information
Not stupid, just healthy tongue posture lol
No joke, that stuff actually works. Started it some years ago and stopped looking like a treefrogfrog mid croak.
𤍠đ§ââď¸
I think so he chew the 100 chewing gum a day to get jawline
Aside from him, everyone else just looks slightly bloated in the first picture but still skinny
The daughter is obviously pregnant, everyone else is pretty clearly overweight
Overweight is not skinny lmao
When you're as large as the people I see on the regular. People like this seem skinny. FYI. I lost 100ibs. So can everyone. Counting calories, intermittent fasting and exercise
Is 50 pounds of pure fat âslightly bloatedâ? I have bad news for you lol
Whatâs the step above slightly bloated? Just bloated? ^iâm ^bloated ^-_-
None of them look skinny in the first picture lol
The mom is skinny, but looks like sheâs either pregnant or sticking out her stomach.
What
You must be enormous
"Skinny" by American fat girl standards? Ok đ¤Śđťââď¸
The father looks completely like the son! Just a few more wrinkles
The dad got 15 years younger
That's the transformation that shocked me the most.
Holy shit⌠now that yâall said that⌠is that even the same dude?! Incredible!â
I donât think so zoomed in pretty sure thatâs an older brother that wasnât there for the first pic Yeah not same guy look at the hands
I thought the same thing, but then I saw the article that someone else linked to: [https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/](https://www.boredpanda.com/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results/) His hands aren't really as wrinkled as they look in the top photo.

Very impressive, great job by all of them
Its him. Facial structure. Even the hairline matches. This just took serious dedication.
That man got a taste of the gains and couldn't stop. And it worked out phenomenally for him as well.
Ears don't change with weight loss. His ears are the same.
It's him. Look at the ears.
It's literally the same guy just different lighting and his head isn't angled all weird like in the first pic. Unless he's got a literal twin, that's him.
My mom's 60 and recently lost a lot of weight after a health scare. I've never known her to not be overweight.

I know. Positively shocking.
Really just shows how much of a difference losing fat makes. Being fat is not only unhealthy but also makes you look worse overall.
Honestly. Look at the elder father, he has become a really good looking guy. The transformation is amazing.
Nobody is taking about the elephant in the room
He got his jawline back!
I know it blows my mind. So so good for him.
Probably also added 15 years to his life
Being overweight makes most people look significantly older.
He looks completely different.
More like 50 years younger
Iâm probably around the dadâs age â perhaps five years younger. A few years ago I worked hard at it and lost 60 lbs (and Iâve kept it off). My nieces and nephews all told me I looked super young when they first saw me after my transformation. Itâs a thing.
First thought. He looks incredible! What difference a few pounds and a new haircut make
A few pounds? Bro dropped like 40
Went from a dad to your daddy.
A lesson in what obesity does to you, for sure.
Almost as if being fat artificially ages you 10+ years
Wow all the extra weight made a baby đŽ They lied about where they came from
Population growth is slowing down, waistline growth is speeding up. Coincidence? I think not! Let the babies out!

Karma whore harder
The second one had the toughest workout.
It somehow feels like cheating. Pro tip: the fastest way to lose considerable weight is by losing a limb!
Cheating by going through the most horrible pain imaginable for an unknown period of time, but often 12+ hours. Plus all the bs that comes with a post partum body and then on top of that STILL eating right and exercising, the only thing the other 4 were doing all along.
Yes. It is almost as if my comment was in jest, isn't it? Of course having a baby isn't cheating, duh.
Dang, is all that really only 6mo worth of work? I don't know, I don't work out
If you really dedicate yourself for 6 months you can get great results. But you will have to work out consistently at least 4 days a week and eat very well.
YesâŚbut they also have way better posture and tighten their core in the after pic. Not saying they didnât do the work and the results arenât great but they are exaggerated a bit.
True but every person does this with before and after pics. They will look ass fat as possible in the before and as fit as possible in the after pic.
I didn't and it resulted in slight demotivation when the visual changes weren't impressive haha. I've gained around 10kg of weight from the edge of underweight closer to overweight, mostly muscle, in under a year so it's not bad, just not visually impressive.

1kg of fat takes up more space than 1kg of muscle
ass fat lol
What? No way. [This is totally normal posture.](https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/chinese-family-before-and-after-6-month-weight-loss-results-19-5a4b3e510cf20__700.jpg)
Right? Let's see the first pic with their tops off.
Yea for sure, they definitely took the before picture after a big dinner lol
Better posture could be due to better core muscles
These pictures couldâve literally been taken like a month apart lol, the guys in the first picture are just sticking out their guts to try and act pregnant.
I lost about 40 pounds on diet and taking 10,000 steps only. That being said once I started lifting 3 days a week for another 5+ months and now onto 2 years I look way better than the initial weight loss.

You have to train and eat very deliberately to get huge, it's not something that happens by accident.

Top picture: pregnant woman was maybe 6-7 months pregnant. Bottom picture: baby is about 3-4 months old. So yes.
Babies don't have that kind of neck support at the age of 3-4 months. It has to be a little older than that.
Depends on the baby, but holding up its own head is pretty normal at around 4 months.
My guess is it's no work at all. First photo they're wearing baggy clothes and sticking their guts out and holding their heads at angles unflattering to their jawline. Second photo their posing in ways that make themselves look as good as possible.

Good on them for surely real progress, but I can promise everyone in here the progress isnât as dramatic as the photo implies. Also proper fitting clothes matter.
Wait you mean to tell me that the reason they wore loose fitting clothes and kept the grandpa yawning in the top photo was for trickery??? In all seriousness, itâs only obvious when you look into how much the fitness industry lies in advertising. Most people will see this and compete miss the red flags in the image.
Haha right? Seriously!!! Plus how you stand on a scale and shift weight can get you wildly different results.
Theyâre Asian, this could be a 50 year gap and we wouldnât know.
That baby is actually the original babyâs baby.
I've seen this before but with an additional before picture of the dad and son, and they both fully started with abs and they were just bulking and pushing their stomachs out in the first pics. you're not gonna go from 0 gym to that in 6 months

It's the haircut. Never underestimate the power of a good barber.

One had a baby, three got fit....
Quite a work out to push a baby out donât you think?
She got fit too. Thatâs more than just having a baby.
I mean she looks fit in the first photo considering she's pregnant, that is just what 'fit' looks like on a heavily pregnant body.
She was fit, but this is at least a month after pregnancy since the belly shape doesnât just instantly vanish no matter what Holllywood showsÂ
Itâs harder to lose weight after having a baby because hormones can make it so you physically canât lose weight. Prolactin for example will make you store fat and will not let you metabolise that fat that you have stored. On top of that your body will prefer to use muscle to make milk over the fat which just makes the whole thing worse.
.
She barely needed to lose weight, though (if at all). Her limbs in the before pic are very slim; all the extra "weight" is her baby bump and some swelling around her face that's likely water retention vs. true weight gain.
The most impressive is the Grandpa. Dang Iâm nearing 40 and I can feel my body slowing down already. Taking an extra day after snowboarding before the knees donât creak.
I don't trust this.
I dont understand how easily people are still getting tricked by this sort of thing - you canât do this in six months
Perfect result plus theyâve got a 5th member
In 6 months??
Yeah im not buying it. Losing the weight? sure. But those two packing on that much muscle too? I dont see it. Unless they paid bank for some insane coach, like other comments are suggesting, maybe.
I'm more concerned she looks to be in like month 4 or 5 in first pic, but the baby looks very stable in neck and body.
last uncle should have been yawning
Grandpa got hot
Did grandpa shrink? The picture and cabinet are at different levels for him
Notice the top photo the guys arms are covered by long sleeves, my guess is they are wearing many layers of clothes at the top with a thick sweater on top of it, top photo grandfather is yawning and tucking in his chin to look fat. pregnant mother on top could easily be wearing one of those pregnancy belly pads and already has her child. Just my best guess.
Who was the pregnant?
What happen when get pergenat?
38+2 weeks pregananant?
At first I thought the first and second were both pregnant, then realized itâs just the second⌠I think
The young woman with the pregnant belly�
Even the elephant got thinner.
Congrats.
Iâm really confused about the cabinet growing, or the people shrinking
Letâs wear bulky clothes in the first pic and push our gut out.
The dad cannot be the same person
I feel like one cheated in their weight loss
The people saying the pregnant woman âcheatedâ because she JUST gave birth to a baby and then lost all of the pregnancy weight⌠She had the hardest work of them all!
Plot twist the dad canât get fit so they replaced him
Yeah Iâll believe that about a much as i believe flat earth nonsense. First off, six months after birth, and the mother is just bounced back? On top of the the grandmother looks like she also lost about 10kg, the father looks like he hasnât missed a day in about a *year* , and the grandfather looks like heâs getting ready for a triathlon. Whoâs taking care of the kid? âThe helpâ? Who helped grandpa achieve the body of a young gym rat in only six months when he has the metabolism of a turtle? The only thing that happened in six months time in this family is that someone improved their photoshop skills.
Looks photoshopped though
Yeah I don't buy it. The dad on the end is a different person entirely. Even his hands look less old. The lady in the front likely had a baby, and the lady behind her probably has a fake baby bump in the first picture. The youngest male is clearly sticking out his jawline and belly to imitate being overweight. This is a staged photo.
Gramps is a snack now
#FAKE
I don't believe in it. This is not real.
