I wax religiously and could never see myself going back to the pain of shaving (ugh! the ingrowns!) now that I’ve made the switch.
I can say that I have recently started using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for shaving legs and underarms instead of shaving cream/gel though at the suggestion of my sister. I used to get ingrowns there and NO MORE! It gives a really smooth nice shave, so maybe that might be helpful for those still shaving kitty?

I’ve seen such dancers in Vegas… but then again, that’s Vegas https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Here in LA at some of the clubs they’ll have special pole performer acts but generally not a bunch of "pole-go dancers" the way they would have a bunch of go go dancers.

Installed it last night and I love it!!! I actually find it way easier to grip than the poles that I have been using, probably because I realized that chrome and stainless steel are not the same things and I learned on stainless, which is so slick compared to chrome!

Thanks so much for your input! I decided to go with the 50mm chrome xpole sport. Swung by their warehouse and picked it up this afternoon! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

Definitely make sure you rule out pregnancy, although if you had a full period, its doubtful. Getting your thyroid checked is also a good idea as this sounds like a hormonal issue.
When you eat, what kind of food are you eating? Are you really physically hungry or is it just more of an uncontrollable urge to eat? Eating so much could be stretching your stomach and your body tends to adjust to your caloric intake, so if its used to getting that many calories every day for a few weeks straight it could be that. Especially if you are eating a lot of sugar, sugar is a hardcore appetite stimulant.
The pill can be a hardcore appetite stimulant too. The idea that the pill makes you gain weight itself is not really true, but because the pill tricks your body into thinking its pregnant, it can cause you to crave food much more than you normally would, which causes you to gain weight. I quit the pill a month ago and have lost 10 pounds, simply because I don’t have the urge to eat ALL THE TIME that I used to have when I was on it.

Most people are chronically dehydrated… drinking lotttsss water will help your skin plump up and will reduce the appearance of cellulite. It really works, and its something you should be doing anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Yay!!! Another Hawaii poler! Aloha!!! I’m actually not in HI anymore, I just moved to LA in June, but I was born and raised on Kauai. I miss it so much, and I’m glad to see that there are people taking this up in HI! I actually always wanted to try it when I was living there, but there was nowhere to do it.

I don’t have much experience with P90X (I think I tried the Kenpo X DVD one time and it kicked my butt), however I did start the other "hardcore" Beachbody program (Insanity) and actually stuck with it religiously for 30 days. By the end of the month my fitness level had totally been transformed. Within a DAYS of doing the program I remember feeling my abs and thinking "OMG I had no idea my abs could be this firm!" I think it would help with pole as it increases stamina, core strength, and upper body strength (loots of pushups) and since its more cardio based, its more focused on getting a lean body vs. a ripped body like P90X is.
Re: skipping Yoga X in P90X, you might not want to! Tony Horton has been quoted as saying that is the workout that makes him capable of doing all other workouts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
