    It’ll take a month for you to notice an improvement, about three months for other people to notice.

    Remember, it’s not the exercise that’s hard, the hard bit is sticking with your routine.

      And it’ll take a lifetime to realize you’re not happy and never will be because you could always be in better shape

      Every day it gets a little easier… But you gotta do it every day — that’s the hard part. But it does get easier.

        Wow, that’s quite something! You may have possibly noticed other benefits though? Maybe being less short of breath, your back is less sore, maybe a lower blood pressure or cholesterol at a medical? There’s many things you can notice other than your appearance in a mirror.

        40lbs is a great achievement and I hope you didn’t find it to be an absolutely pointless exercise.

        I have a very strong build, but I’m also definitely overweight. I can lose or gain 25 KG, others will notice, but I won’t.
