    one way to drink more water is to have a big bottle of water sitting in front of you at the computer, possibly with a straw in it if you’d like. If its big you don’t have to get up to refill it as many times. When I have my bottled water in front of me when I am playing around on the computer next thing I know its empty!

    April 9, 2010 at 9:15 am in reply to: poling and breast implants…

    I can SOOOOO help on this one, i want to share my story but dont be scared, everyone is different.
    I’ve had mine before I started pole, 3 years ago. You will probaly be off the pole for more than a month.
    I had mine done after my daughter was born and i lost all the weight but i went from a natural size C to a DD nursing and then i lost a LOT of weight and muscle mass and had nothing in my breasts, they were even damaged muscles from nursing. so I had a D size implant to fill up the space so i didnt have to get a lift or pay for one (they are expensive) my husband was just in the military and my daughter was still little.
    So…story two, i started dancing, depending at what level you are at and how much you dance you should be really careful. if you notice there are not many competitive polers with breast implants.
    I am left handed, and after so much pole in 3 years the pocket ripped all the way up to my sholder almost and the implant would slide out to the side when i was sleeping AND it was uneven and ugly lol.
    So a year ago (when i was taking a break from pole) i got it fixed and now its back to normal, the doctor suggested i dont pole as much, but i would fix it again just to pole and hopefully get to uspdf at the end of the year https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
    I would say though, that since i have been lifting weights it has helped my breasts alot, there is stronger muscles and they look alot more…eh…durable..? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
    just becareful what you do after, if you have any questions feel free to ask me, i’ve always felt alone on the fake boobs pole dancer department. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    did you get yours over or under the muscle? how many CCs? whats your band measurement? how did you get it put in? do you have any scars?

    Yay!
    Short term goals: lose 4 inches off waist (currently 34in waist), get to 150lbs (currently 157), diet soda only diet root beer is actually really good and tastes like normal root beer, but any other type of diet soda ive had tastes disgusting! and losing the spare tire around my lower abs, my lower abs have the biggest measurement of my whole body of like 40inches! my body is weird, my waist is 34, then my lower abs (permanent muffin top) is 40in, then right below that where my underwear sits is 38. then my hips are 39, its like a roller coaster of fat!

    long term goals: have 34D, 24-26 waist, 34-36 hips, 120lbs by august (currently 36D 34 39) its not unattainable for me since ive been that size before.
    have the super confidence and self esteem that i used to have when i was thin
    wear a chainmail bikini at this years Renaissance faire!

    progress so far: 43lbs and a total of 18 inches of bust/waist/hips

    pole goals: be able to invert from a chopper first and THEN hook my leg around the pole. aysha and shouldermount were my new years revolution lol

    last night I went to hustler hollywood and when i walked in there was a group of 4 girls in front of me that were all perfect 10s, and had that ‘i know im hot’ look on their face, (im sure you know what look im talking about) but i literally fell over myself and walked into the security scanner thing by the doorway from staring at them! im not embarrassed though im sure they are used to it lol. i want to be a traffic stopper someday!

    January 11, 2010 at 7:18 am in reply to: HCG Injections for weight loss?

    More research:
    I have been researching this like a mad woman last couple days… I found out that HCG is mainly used for fertility treatments and IS a FDA approved drug for fertility but not for weight loss, for fertility treatments they inject you with 10,000 IU (international units) once a month, pregnant females have over 720,000 IU/L (international units per liter?) of HCG in them, and for this HCG ‘diet’ they only inject 200 IU once a week. Non pregnant females and males have less than 5IU in them normally. HCG is also the horomone pregnancy tests look for to determine pregnancy.
    Serious side effects of HCG for fertility (10,000 IU a month) include…
    severe pelvic pain, swelling of the hands or legs, stomach pain and swelling, shortness of breath, weight gain (from eating too much I imagine, HCG with this diet you would be eating 500 calories a day), diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, or urinating less than normal.
    Less serious side effects include…
    headache, feeling restless or irritable, mild swelling or water weight gain, depression, breast tenderness or swelling, pain, swelling, or irritation where the injection is given.

    It seems pretty safe as long as your getting it from a reputable doctor, I wouldnt trust these order over the internet sites. They are less expensive because you need a prescription for HCG and since you are ordering online it isnt legally obligated to require one if you get them that way. Online just seems alot more unsafe, on some sites it says alot of HCG has been contaminated from places like China and India. I would rather pay the extra amount and go see an actual doctor than risk getting a contaminated batch from some online site. I couldn’t find any reliable sources of information for HCG for the diet because people just bash it and dont have any sources for their information so I looked it up for fertility instead and base my results off that since its the same drug but used in much smaller doses for the diet purpose. I imagine anyone who says they had a serious side effect such as …tumors in their throat? must of gotten a contaminated drug because you dont get those sort of side effects from using much higher doses in fertility treatments, at least not that I have come across yet. I dont know, it seems pretty risk free, i mean, your using a drug thats already been FDA approved, albeit for other purposes, in a much smaller dose than said other purpose, has little serious side effects (and thats in the fertility treatment dosage 10k IU a month compared to 200IU per week for diet, so far every HCG diet site claims there to be zero side effects), REALLY TRULY SEEMS TO WORK (even if its just the placebo effect!) and is extremely cheap (in comparison to other methods..gastric bypass, lipo, ect) and non invasive, if I had the money to drop on this I definitely would. The only ‘bad’ thing seems to be the extremely low calorie diet, so I quote this site:

    "Another potential source of concern when following an HCG diet is the actual diet plan. In order to follow the HCG diet plan to its fullest, you are also supposed to maintain a diet of 500 calories per day. Although following a diet with such a small amount of calories would normally be considered unhealthy, it is safe to do while also receiving HCG diet injections. This is because HCG helps prevent the loss of muscle mass. It also helps dieters retain a high level of energy while suppressing the appetite. Therefore, while it generally would not be considered safe to follow a diet with so few calories, doing so while also receiving the HCG injection is both safe and effective as a weight loss strategy." http://hcgdietinfo.com/articles/2009/04/24/side-effects-associated-with-hcg-diet-shots/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    January 10, 2010 at 8:33 am in reply to: HCG Injections for weight loss?

    It sounds like basically, they inject you with a hormone that pregnant women naturally produce from the placenta to increase their metabolism to burn fat off so the baby gets the nutrients it needs. This in addition to a very low calorie/high protein diet (500 cal per day) burns fat off. It also claims to burn only fat and no muscle. After all what sense would it make in nature to take away the muscle of a pregnant woman? Also it says that the type of fat (there are 3 types) that it burns off is only the abdominal fat, or the type of fat that is mostly around your middle and not the kind of fat, for instance, that is on the soles of your feet to cushion your bones when you walk. The amount they give you is only a fraction of what a pregnant woman has in her body. I suppose that makes sense, imagine a pregnant woman goes on a diet, she would probably lose a ton of weight since her metabolism is kicked up so high. Not that it would be healthy for the baby o.O Ive researched it and so far no deaths have been recorded because of this. I wouldnt take my crappy researched word on it though. But since all they are injecting you with is a fraction of a hormone that is naturally produced in your body during pregnancy doesnt sound dangerous. What I wonder is, since its seems to be such a miracle fat cure, why is it sooo cheap? Less than $300 to burn off 30lbs or more in a month without invasive procedures or surgery or anything? Its not FDA approved either, but then again, Depo-provera IS FDA approved and it gave me osteopenia and im only 19 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif so I wouldnt base much on that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif
