Hey Hive account@nesian101,
Thanks for letting me know about this.

In my opinion, you haven't failed at all. You have succeeded with flying colors.

Failure means not to try, but you have tried and even got results at the end.

You look great after one month of exercise!! This is fantastic! Many people take forever to lose those 6 kg, which I am sure you lost more but gained muscles which are heavier than fat.

Now, don't relax too much in the coming month. LOL.
At least you can continue walking to places, this way you will keep the 6 kg off for a while.

Next time you make a challenge, better start easy on yourself. One thing at a time. Not quitting everything suddenly. Especially smoking and drinking. They are the hardest to stay away from.

I must say, great job and congrats for achieving a better looking body. I don't think the abs are very vital, unless you want them so bad ;D

Keep up the good work :D
