Anyway, I do not think it's realistic for the other two pics to look like that, simply because of genetics.
Genetics, age, eating habits, menopause--no matter what it is, the women on the left are never going to look like the woman on the right.

I don't doubt what you say. Nevertheless, the women on the photos on the left will never look like the woman in the photo on the right.

I used to be the woman on the far left and became the woman on the right, to a smaller degree. It took a year of hard work and diet is key. I was 32 when I made my transformation. I had been obese all of my life.

No PEDs required.

73 pounds of fat gone. Apparently I inherited my mother's muscular build.

You can repeat the same post doesn't make it true.

Congratulations on your transformation!

If you're talking to me about repeating the same post, I plead guilty. My original comment was that the women in the two left photos are 20 years older than that woman on the right. I have no doubt that a 32-year-old can transform her body with hard work and a healthy diet. I also have no doubt that a 60-year-old can do the same. What I don't think can happen is for someone to exercise and diet their way to a body that looks 20 years younger than the one they started out with. To me, that is what is represented in the pictures posted by the OP.

That is exactly what is represented in the pictures presented.

The woman on the far left is obviously older - some sagging and wrinkles are inevitable. Working out can improve those legs but they will never, EVER look like the woman on the far right. Likely not even with surgery because there is a very wide age gap between the two women.

The woman in the middle is also obviously older than the woman on the right.

These are not realistic expectations no matter the amount of exercise and/or protein intake.

Did you just do cardio or did you do lots of squats and lunges?

The question is how long does it take to go from age 65 to age 24?

It takes about a week to start to see some improvement in muscle tone. Nobody looks like the third picture unless they are young and spend multiple hours every day woring out, and are also taking steroids.
