Maybe it's not a good time to write down my thoughts. It's just a bad morning. Bad week. Bad week. Bad month.
I know if I say anymore I would be placed in the hospital. Been there. Not a good place to be.

So I've been doing P90X for about 45 days now. Anyone else?
Results for me are little-to-no weight loss, but definite improvement of body shape and tone, and elevated mood.
Let me know your experiences with it? -

Hypogonadism Information
Hypogonadism is a medical term for a defect of the reproductive system that results in lack of function of the gonads (ovaries or testes). The gonads have two functions: to produce hormones (testosterone, estradiol, antimullerian hormone, progesterone, inhibin B), activin and to produce gametes (eggs or sperm). Deficiency of sex hormones can result in defective primary or secondary sexual development, or withdrawal effects (e.g., premature menopause) in adults. Defective egg or sperm development results in infertility.
Other related conditions include androgyn deficiency and low testosterone.
The term hypogonadism is usually applied to permanent rather than transient or reversible defects, and usually implies deficiency of reproductive hormones, with or without fertility defects. The term is less commonly used for infertility without hormone deficiency.
Hypogonadism is most often treated by replacement of the appropriate hormones. For men, this is testosterone. Commonly-used testosterone formulations include transdermal testosterone, injectable testosterone, and buccal testosterone. Oral testosterone is no longer used in the U.S. because it is broken down in the liver and rendered inactive. Another feasible alternative is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). For women estradiol and progesterone are replaced. Some types of fertility defects can be treated; some cannot.
