“It seems that 41 lbs is not a lot of weight, especially when you weigh more than 220 lbs. But in fact, it is so much, especially for someone who doesn’t have a lot of willpower. I still have a long way to go — 176 lbs is my goal, but I am absolutely sure I can make it. Why? Look at the before and after photos and you will see why.

Someone might think that I’m making very slow progress and that I have to exercise too, but my current slow progression will allow me to lose the weight and keep it off. And I will start exercising in the summer, when my weight is around 198 lbs. I will also be able to ride a bicycle again.”
