This has probably already been said, but WOW. Just...wow. Awesome life change. Congrats. :smile: :drinker:

What a success – you look great!

Hi, there. I took it for several months. My personal experience didn't include a weight gain issue, so I'm not sure if it's a listed side effect or not. At any rate, I agree with whomever said to call your doctor. There are so many different NSAIDs out there that I'm sure he/she could prescribe a different one that you are…

I sacrificed laziness.

I would just keep an eye on things. It's probably some water weight or a natural fluctuation. Whatever you do, don't stop lifting. You'll love the changes from it.

What about angel food cake topped with strawberries and light whipped cream...or even with some frozen yogurt?

I can see why'd you be proud of yourself...that's awesome!

Squats. Walking lunges...with a loaded up barbell. Standing calf raises, made harder by one leg at a time. Lying leg curls. Nap.

Hi! Welcome. I agree with Lesa_Sass...I am excited to see where your journey takes you. Feel free to add me to your friends list too. :smile:

I would love to answer the question, but my parasites are making me plead the 5th.

I've had this. I would absolutely recommend Miracle Cushion (and for sciatica as well), even though they are a bit pricey. It's a special type of gel. Check it out: miraclecushion.com Also, you can talk to your doctor about an injection into your tailbone. It's pretty uncomfortable for a few minutes...but it might help for…

Chicken tacos. Bring small tortillas, chicken and cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, whatever. Yummy cold and can assemble fast before eating. :smile:

Are you depressed or down about something? Stressed?

If he supports you being healthy, he should support strength training. It has a lot of body benefits beyond what's visible to the eye...liking helping to prevent osteoporosis. Plus, stronger muscles help support joints, which eases the stress placed on them. Plus, you like it. Which is reason enough to have a conversation…

In tough times, it's easy to shut others out or not make time for a phone call or dinner with a friend. But let them – your friends and family – in. Ask for their help. Their understanding. Accept help, support, and strength. It will bolster your own. Bolster you. Which, in turn, is that much more you can give your son. Do…

I don't do much cardio. Once or twice per week on non-lift days and it's 20 to 30 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval training). If I do have to squeeze cardio in on a lift day, I do it after the lift. I find it easier to lift as heavy as possible if I don't let something else wear me out first. Also, I think there's…

Great smile!

Have you thought about trying out different coffees? Taste can vary so much based on brand, roast, bean source, etc. Just by switching it up, you may be able to find one that you actually like the taste of – black, without sugar/sweetener or milk.
