Have you tried topicals for your stubborn fat? I really think lemon and coffee scrubs-perfomed on a steamy hot skin- is worth a shot!!

Not yet, Hannah.
I have a list of stuff to buy ASAP, but a woman going in for heart surgery soon. It's a minor thing to correct an arrhythmia, so - no insurance payout to buy boobs. ;-) [That IS a joke, BTW.]

BUT, since she needs certain changes anyway, I'm going to be doing similar research more and more to create the diet she needs anyway. If I can get MY head right, maybe I can benefit, and provide more benefits for everyone else here.

And if that works, we can make it a sticky, with a few permutations - like, how to lose weight while building butt and boobs, for men vs. for women. (Using genetics to determine approach.) Or, how to make an hourglass shape once you have a decent body fat percentage. (Which should derive from the same plan.)
Lots of options there.

We'll see... But once the surgery is done, it's also going to be GTFO time, so...
Who knows? I've been talking to her for years, it's hard to reform a "party girl" who wants to be entertained (hence the reason no diet ever works, eating the same foods twice in a week is "boring," etc.)

It's a worthwhile task anyway, though, for me alone. If she comes along, fine. If not, there's the door. She's working in the ED (ER, essentially) of a local hospital, sees people coming in dying of heart conditions at younger ages than she is - and fitter, too. Lessons learned...? ZERO.

So I'll stop that train of thought, and I'll look into adding to our "solid gold plan" as time permits.
