      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.
