How's your posture? Good posture will help your lower ab look better. Also definitely sounds like there is something in your diet that doesn't agree with you. Dairy? Wheat? Carbonated drinks?

Here is an inspiring post from the t-mag forum by a lady who did OL throughout both her pregnancies. The original question was from a guy wanting to know if his PL wife should skip a big meet because she found out she was preggers. The rest of the thread of course was a bunch of guys saying a...

(A) I never get the fun sides, I don't know (B) A week at most (C) I like to taper off for a week or two, but I don't think it's a big deal

I think 5 to 10 mg a day would definitely help with recovery after a taxing workout or event. It would help you retain muscle during weight loss so you would carry less body fat, which might be a plus for your sport. On 10 mg a day a blood test showed some of my electrolyte levels a little...

Wow, ArtsyChic, that's very interesting. How about writing a little manual for home testing of var & primo?

newgirl - you know you don't have to go through an MD to get blood tests or saliva tests, and the results come straight to you. I know what you mean about sex drive - it's cyclic. Maybe some of it is long-term hormonal variations, I think it's more environmental. I went to a GYN (1st time...

He makes some good points about the marketing of HRT by the pharmaceutical companies. My therapist is a big fan of his, and convinced me to try progesterone cream after a saliva test showed I was a little low. I used less than the recommended dose on the jar, after awhile I was trying to...

This is from T-mag http://t-mag.com/html/25gof.html Q: What it is, bros? How do I get my girlfriend to lose her gut? She is pretty lean in the legs and arms, but is carrying around a little pouch around the midsection. She runs three times a week for about 40 minutes, works out...
