What was the objective of this contest, to find pictures of two completely different people and propose that they're actually the same peoples before & after pictures? Maybe it's just me, but this wasn't even good for a laugh...
This was definitely the worst contest TMZ has done.

I think more pics of Julie is warranted for her to win. I'd like to see pictures where it might actually be the same person. Or just post the pics of the before and after surgery.

I'm going to be polite and use the word 'incorrect' to summarize my feelings towards other peoples comments regarding the legitimacy of certain pictures.
In fact, the only two 'finalists' that are even remotely possible as being the same two people in both pictures are the kid who turned into an ugly tranny & the hot chick who picked a child photograph that looks nothing like her....yes, quite a fine selection of finalists.
Julie: not even worthy of comment...2 different people, otherwise that blond chick in the photo is pushing 55-60 given the look of the age/clothes from the first picture.
Hooters chick: wow, all the weight she lost must have come out of her EIGHThead b/c the structures are completely different.
Blonde Bomb: seriously...pick ANY picture on the internet (I don't even care if it's just a dog toy) and use it in place of the 'before' shot that was used and you've got something that's just as reasonable as that ginger headed mess of a before shot.

Dear Sono and other dis-believers:
I am Julie... the fit chick. Julie Hedges to be exact. That is indeed me in the "Before" pic. I was 28 years old in the before photograph. I lost 128 pounds with gastric bypass surgery. I have NEVER had plastic surgery and my Gastric Bypass surgeon calls me an "exception" to the rule. I got that "After" body by lots of hard work and exercise. Most morbidly obese people do look much older than what they really are. Weight adds age to your face and body... and keep in mind... that most plus size clothing is targeted towards older people... therefore younger obese people have to wear not so pretty clothing. You can "google" my name and find many websites that confirm my identity and that my photgraphs are legit.

The weight loss girl is fake, they are two different girls. Look at their eyes, Look closely they are the wrong size,shape everything. Whoever sent it in is full of it.
