    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.

        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.

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

      And it’ll take a lifetime to realize you’ll never be happy and never will be because you could always be in better shape

        It’s not that you’ll never be happy, it’s that you’ll never be done. Some days that sucks and some days that’s the best part.

        Push through it, giving up hurts more.

        The first day you lift is the day you realise that you’ll never be able to lift enough!
