The Breaking Point. (My Journey)
you should lose fat not weight...if you lose the weight but you lose only muscle then its still no good...make sure to eat lots of fiber too it will keep hunger away longer...also eat about 12-16 servings of fruits and veggies a day but watch out cause you will have TONS of energy (vegetables are complex carbohydrates and thats what gives you the lasting energy) and after eating that much fruits and vegetables daily you really wont mind having a small piece of meat or so for dinner lol also make sure you eat healthy because exercise without eating healthy wont help you lose fat...by the way i started eating healthy 6-8 months ago and im down 60lbs but i still have another 50lbs to go to make my 230lb goal but really try the fruits and veggy thing you might not notice at first but after a few days youll notice you are not lazy to do anything at all haha edit: oh and good luck!

Question For Rod Builders!
you can build a hand wrapper for cheap and then you just need a brush or spatula, some small mixing cups(unless you decide to use a one part finish), razors, china pencil, reamers(can make at home or buy), like a scotchbrite pad and 2 files as far as tools go then some threads in the colors you want, some tip glue, thread finish, tape/rubber bands and rod bond then you can buy your blank, grips, reel seat, guides, butt cap, winding check and tip top and youll have all you need to get that first rod built really if you get the smallest size of everything(thread finish, rod bond etc youll have enough supply to do a few rods no problem even with practicing

Polorized Sun Glasses?
the green mirror is amber/copper on the inside and green mirror on the outside https://www.costadelmar.com/perform/color click each color and it will tell you what its good for and what color is on the inside and outside like the green mirror has a copper/amber inside so when you look through it its amber not green and the blue mirror is grey inside etc

Is This Racoon Rabid?
there is a better way but you have to be licensed to relocate them here and its not so easy to get the license....i thought it was messed up too but i dont have the 20k sitting around to pay a fine if i got caught lol...cant shoot guns in the city i worked either so was either that or take a chance on getting bit and catching whatever they have (and they carry lots and lots of diseases etc)

How Do You Know If Your Website Is Working
yeah 700 hits a month is pretty low but you have to start with something....google analytics is pretty good to track how things are going...read up on Search Engine Optimization and search for the stuff you sell and see how far down on the search you are...if you are low you need to redo your tags and such and when you get to like the top 3 or 4 on searches your business should take off no problem...also have a site index so googles crawlers can do their job and put you on top also what is your website make it as easy as possible to navigate it...if someone has to click 20 times to find where to buy something then they will lose interest before they buy and move on...also if you havent already get on facebook and twitter and check out some fishing groups and add lotssssss of people and then start advertising on your facebook/twitter you could also make short videos and put them on youtube and put google adsense on them and get paid per view while also advertising your site and everything else

Need Help Choosing A Reel. Opinions Needed!
i would check out the shimano torium instead...you can get like a 16 or 20 and be better off for the same price or a little cheaper...doesnt have a level wind though if you are wanting one but you will cast further without one and its not hard to learn to use without.....if you want more distance level the line at a decent angle instead of trying to get each wrap next to each other the line will peel off the reel faster like that i have some of the shimano baitrunners (the old version) and they are beasts and only $110 if you can find them(mostly on ebay but still new in box)
