27M here, 5’10 160lbs. I’ve gotten into the best shape of my life over last year (nothing amazing but 5 min treadmill mile and more weights lately). I feel really good about it overall but I’ve noticed my face actually looking slightly chubbier. Mainly around puffy cheeks when I look at pics compared to college.

Any recs on how to improve that? My diet isn’t very good so I suspect that’s it but what’s most important to cut out? Thanks!

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.

Darn, was hoping it wasn’t this haha. I barely drink on weekdays but drink pretty excessively on fri/sat. Time to cut back I suppose...

She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

At what point do you decide to switch labs when IVF isn’t working. I’ve had one cycle so far, and 2 FETs with an AA and AB embryos (both genetically tested), and no luck yet. No underlying infertility issues (doing IVF for genetic reasons) so I’m kind of confused as to why I’m not having success. I have one AB embryo left and if that doesn’t work I don’t know if I should stick with the same RE/lab or go somewhere else? Like how do you know if it’s you or them that’s the problem?
