It's a long game, for sure! It took me 40# before i could see a difference, and most ppl still can't, but sooner or later we will win!  

70 pounds is amazing - you are doing a fantastic job - the visuals will follow!!!!  

And I bet other people are noticing 70 pounds! 

Starting at 385 for me, I’m now down to 324 sense Christmas 🎄 last year! As you know there is still a long way to go, but I know I’m feeling better knees don’t hurt as much clothes fit much better meds are down Dr is happier! Stay strong and consistent it’s worth it and you have such a great 👍 start 

Congratulations on your progress! Hang in there :) 

I bet others can see it even though you think you can't. Keep hanging in there! 

you got this and it is great you are so determined to hit your goal. 

Positive thoughts of reaching your goal. Just take one day at a time.  

You are not allowed to quit. Got it? This is your life. You will get your 70 and more. Every time you pick up or put down that fork you have a choice. This is the process we all have to go though. Stay stead and strong. #LETSGOMikebelljr68 !!! 

We got your back Mike. Stay focused. You got this. It is a journey. Road is bumpy, twisty, hilly. But no U-Turns allowed. 

thanks all for the support 😊 

Dig deep and stay focused. You can do it! 

Just mentally be aware that once you reach a certain high weight that it takes as much as a #50 loss before people can truly notice and begin to comment about it. I have always urged people to not even mention their life style change in progress to co-workers or acquaintance until they mention it. It’s good practice to walk-the- walk a bit before you have to start spreading the good word. Same for you, it will take a while for you to “see” the difference. Good luck. It sounds like you are finally committed to YOURSELF to do this. Lots of really good people here who have succeeded beyond expectations. You will too— I feel it in my bones. heheheh 

You can try measuring yourself to see the little changes as long as you don’t get caught up in measuring yourself all of the time. You got this!!! 🙌🏼 

Stay with it because it all will add up for you over time...down is ALWAYS better than up even if it takes a while. 

Mike, you are doing great! You're not going to look like Diablo and I'm not going to look like Rosio. BUT, we will both be happier and healthier!! 

You are doing great!! Sometimes we have to convince ourselves. Your numbers don't lie. Personally, I have a nasty trick mirror that lies :) Be kind to yourself and keep doing your plan. Obviously it is working for you!
