history: My brother used to be really overweight and one day he just didn't want to be anymore. He started dieting hard and even though he isn't done, he looks so much better and I'm really proud of him. My brother used to be so much more overweight than he is now_comma_ 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.
current: How long did it take him to lose all that weight?
next: It took over a year, but it really paid off.
