  1. I would love to do this but i have no idea how many calories and also I can't really walk in my free time and i barely go to the gym once a week

  2. guys , just the first 2 weeks are hard . then when people start telling you “are you losing weight? , you look skinnier” its the real motivation to go on

  3. The medical business is not ‘health care’ it’s ‘sick care’. Insurance & Big Pharma make too much money off people being and staying sick that doctors can’t really prescribe any preventative care. All they can do is manage symptoms.
    If we want an actual HEALTH care system we have to put our collective ‘foot down’ and everyone inundate our Congress Persons obnoxiously, repeatedly, & relentlessly until shift happens. Otherwise we will only get the real care we need by paying out of pocket…on top of insurance premiums.

  4. I don't think that she pauses to hear laughter. I guess, it's very tiring for both speaker and listener to talk or to hear for a long time. There must be a small break.Maybe…

  5. Fasting is the best thing I could have ever done to loose weight, made me realize we eat waay more than our bodies need. 3 meals a day is very unnecessary. Eat to survive.

I hope my heart can forgive me once more.

  7. I grew up in a very primitive, wild, and challenging environment. Every day, people bullied me because of my looks. I had only a few friends, and I treated them poorly because I was unhappy. I directed my aggression and negative emotions toward them, losi

  8. I was once heavier, and my boyfriend left me for a girl with abs. It was a devastating experience that changed my perspective and wounded my heart deeply. The pain was unbearable, leading me to a decision to try Igrotum. Within a few weeks, my physique tr

  9. I am starting my journey. My dr told me I am pre diabetic with high cholesterol and that I needed to take better care of myself. I explained I had a hard time prioritizing myself because my life is so busy. She said to me and this changed my entire thinking “OK then, take care of your daughter’s mother and you husband’s wife.” Game changer for me, I hope. I don’t want to take care of myself but I sure as hell wanna take care of my daughter’s mom!
