8 lbs of "vanity pounds" left, slow progress
So I just finished the first half of focus T25. It took me 5 weeks and I see some progress but it's not as big as I was expecting it to be.

People asking "What diet did you do"?
So people will eventually notice you lost weight, they'll start asking "what diet did you do?" and when you tell them you eat clean and you workout, they'll be like "Is there another way?" or "That's too hard.
