Re: Chiro - worth it or not?
Thanks for the advice. I have my foam roller and have been using that.
I've decided to stop with the chiro. It's not that he's bad, but that I resent sitting in a waiting room for half an hour...

Re: hair removal
As a woman, I don't mind chest hair on a man, although a thick rug of back hair is not attractive to me, personally. If you are so adorned, waxing is indeed the best bet for you - it's long lasting...

Re: Cal's V-Diet Hell
Progress has slowed. In fact, the scale didn't budge last week. I'm not sure I can eat less than I do at the moment. I certainly can't work out harder - even normal lifting taxes me to the point I...
