my brother used to be so much more overweight than he is now , since he has been putting a lot of effort into losing weight recently . that 's good to hear ! what sort of things has he changed or started doing ? we both started going to the gym and he also started to eat a lot less and be mindful of calories . how long did it take him to lose all that weight ? it took over a year , but it really paid off .
Achieving a significant accomplishment after dedicating substantial time and effort.
