One of the most frequent types of posts you will see in fitness guru Kayla Itsines‘ social media channels are ‘transformation’ photos.
Reposted from the hundreds of thousands of people who use her fitness guide, they feature a ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo showcasing the difference in their bodies after a certain period of time.
But one of her most recent before and afters is a little different.
Itsines shared the picture of Ely Fisher, which featured the fitness guide user pregnant and then two years later.
“Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor ….. okay we good???????????????????????????? Progress using my #BBG program!,” the 26-year-old wrote.
She reposted it from Fisher’s own Instagram account, which was posted alongside a longer caption.
“I’m just mind blown at this comparison. I NEVER thought I would put this photo up, the first time my husband showed me this golden nugget hidden away on his phone I almost died but now, I am proud, I’m so proud of both Ely’s – I mean ONE birthed (the most amazing baby boy EVER) and the other birthed a new women and her first set of abs, ever!!” the Perth woman wrote.

I think we're missing something here? None of those comments were cruel or nasty, and no one attacked her results, the concern was simply about using a pregnancy photo to compare "before" and "after". The "before" picture is supposed to be the "bad" picture, and in reality was not a true depiction of her weight. The commenters didn't think it was appropriate to depict pregnancy that way. No nastiness that I saw. Were there other comments?
As said below, a post pregnancy picture would have been more apt
Couldn’t this all be sorted out by Ely posting a post-pregnancy but pre-workout pic?
