Exercise is the key. If you're not sore, you're doing it wrong. You need to break down your muscles and build them up. Your metabolism will be faster when you have more lean muscle mass. If you get really into it you won't crave the OMGBBQ foods that are awful for you--they won't fit in with your new body so you won't crave them anymore.

Waist size is directly related to the size of your frame. I've seen scrawny-skinny folks shopping at big-and-tall stores because they have a 40" waist at 200 pounds and well over 6'. I've also seen rampantly obese folks wearing pants in the low 40" range simply because their mega-gut hangs over, leaving their waist itself pretty untouched.

I went through the Wikipedia page for Anabolic steroids and I see phrases relating to increase in BP and cholesterol and testicular atrophy but I also see the words can, may instead of will. I also see nothing relating to brain damage and I actually see that it helps people with cancer.Oh about the bodybuilders - Is associated with abuse of steroids (which are amphetamine like in brain effect, cause cancer, kill your balls, increase the risk of hart attacks etc). Cannot find the exact MESH term for bodybuilding, so cannot give you references to big reviews of it.
