It has been a while since I was an active participant here, but life has just been too much damned fun to stay inside.
It may be high time for me to share some before and now [after?] pictures.
Back in August 2008, about 6-8 months before coming out. I ended up putting on another 30 pounds after this picture was taken. I topped out at 245 pounds. [by the way, this was one of my happiest days up to that day]

Fast forward to September 2010. This was still early in my transition, at the Southern Comfort Conference (SCC) in Atlanta, GA. I had only just begun taking Spironolactone about a month or two before that. I was still nearly a year and a half away from starting estrogen.

And now! This was taken March 15, 2013. Over 2.5 years spiro, and over 1.5 years estradiol. I've lost over 100 pounds from before transition. I have been full time for a year and a half. While I'm not stealth, I do live completely accepted as a woman. And a very, very happy one to boot.
