Paolo Guico of Ben&Ben flexes abs, reaches goal weight after ‘years of hard work and sacrifice’

Wow, how did Paolo Guico of Ben&Ben do it?

On Instagram, the musician shared his fitness progress by posting a mirror selfie bearing his toned body and abs and followed it up with a photo of him from way back. 

“These pictures represent years of hard work and sacrifice. Today, I just wanted to celebrate this growth with all of you,” he wrote in the caption. “I hit my goal weight this week, finally.”

“In this picture, I also celebrate my stretch marks. Cause they're awesome. I also celebrate my past self, because he's awesome too,” he added.

After thanking those who stood by him at his “lowest moments,” Paolo took the time to send a message of encouragement to those who are also in the same journey.

“If you are on a path of growth, do it out of love for yourself and do it for the people you love. Never do it just to please others, because it will never be enough. You are enough,” he said.

“You have so much to offer to the world. I know you're working hard. You got this. You're not alone. I'm rooting for you. I'm with you,” he continued.

Paolo said he’ll be sharing his struggles and the things he did to get to where he is now in a few weeks.

In November 2019, Paolo said he switched to a healthier lifestyle for better mental state, and the weight loss just followed. He also surrendered this journey of his to God.

Congratulations, Paolo! And my, my, you're looking fine! — LA, GMA News
