I'm an ok gamer, maybe even good, but premium? I don't know... I guess this game isn't for me. Better spend my money on other games then.

Working out. Used to think it was too hard and I didn't have time. Pushed myself, started exercising at home and it's snowballed to protein loading, supplement taking, and lifting to failure. It's good to feel like jelly.

I was all in until proprietary staples

Not in the US, but a doctor quizzed me, told me that ladies have loads of easier, safer, reversible options, and was I really REALLY sure.

I got put on a waiting list eventually.

Im a 40m divorcee and I am absolutely out of my depth thinking about dating.

I have looked at the apps and sites and they never go anywhere for me. No matches or conversations that go no where.

I sort of think that meeting someone will happen when it happens, but I really miss that excitement of learning all about someone and talking all night.

Im also interested in meeting someone outside of my country, because Id love to experience something new, but that makes me look like a scammer.

Thanks, i had read some bits about it, but not how dramatically it can affect. Might be worth a test to see what my levels are.

I am using a calisthenics app and I really like it to be fair, but augment with the resistance bands and some cardio.

But I want to be ripped now!

I do have a before photo which I will use as a bench mark.

Oh I was not fit before! Fitness was always tomorrows problem. I am definitely starting to feel changes in my shoulders, and my arms feel tighter.

Its hard not to focus on! But I try not to dwell, and keep pushing through the exercise.

Good work.

I dont eat a lot of meat anyway, but god damn I love beef. Maybe its time to start looking at vegetarian alternatives like Quorn, its great in a pasta sauce.

 

I just turned 40, and for the past 5 or so years I have been unhappy with the way I look.

All my life my metabolism has been insane, I could literally eat anything all day and not gain a gram, which has its downsides as well, but not the point.

My weight went up to 80kg and I formed a pot belly which I didnt like. One night I decided enough was enough, started a diet and exercise routine.

I did look at gyms but they are stupid expensive where I live, so I bought a resistance band thing from InnStar. Its like a Gymproluxe if you have been bombarded with Facebook ads. I use it every day for bench press, preacher curls, and some other things I dont know the name of.

I also started using a body weight exercise app that claimed results in a month.

The diet I thought would be hardest, but I immediately stopped all snacks and moved onto a weightloss protein shake which are amazing and I cant believe it took this long to taste them.

Its been a week, and I feel better, Im not sleeping as much, I look forward to exercise, I am much more physically active than before, but I dont feel like I look any different. I am not expecting instant results and I havent booked myself into a Mr World contest this weekend, but I am curious to hear real experiences of when people started to notice their own changes.
