Hi there. I’m a long time lurker and have really enjoyed reading about your experiences and seeing the results of folks brave enough to share photos. I’ve taken what I’ve learned and given NBE a try on my own, but I’m at the point where I’m not sure if it’s worth the expense since after 9-ish months I’m not really seeing dramatic results. If anyone feels called to make suggestions or comments, I would welcome them, especially from those in the group who seem to be body alchemists or wizards of some variety.

Yeah, it’s kind of a lot. To be fair, I’m juggling three goals: 1) fat loss/muscle retention, 2) NBE, 3) longevity/optimal health. And my cup size did go up, but given the amount of weight loss, I’m not really sure if there was growth or not. And I’d really like to see some additional volume, as they look a little deflated these days. It’s been months with not a lot of change in my weight or breasts. 

Am I being impatient? Should I switch some things up? Should I get back on hops? It was out of stock for a while, so I gave up. Am I a total psycho taking too much crap? Thanks for responding!
