The before and after thread.

Awh, thank you both <3

I should give light makeup a try one of these days, lol.

You're looking good girly! Just wait it gets better 

[JohnnieRamona]

Today is day 62 of hormones, awh yiss!

This is before (AKA my current license photo):


Here I am at 25 days of HRT:


And this was me earlier today:

You look stunning, Alice... Congrats!

What an amazing thread!

I now believe in magic..

This is the only surviving photo of me as a boy at age 20.


This was taken last year sometime at age 30.


Personally, I don't feel that I've changed very much other than I have darker hair and thinner eyebrows...

August 2011, pre-everything (except earrings LOL):



Today, as I normally present (one year on HRT):



To my critical eye, I haven't changed a whole lot, face-wise. Maybe gotten heavier...my chest is an "A" cup (or just a bit bigger...let's call it an "A+" cup  ).  Most body hair is gone (no one sees that unless they're in bed with me LOL), a lot softer skin. I smile more often, and more sincerely now. I like to think I'm more personable, as well.

Amazing what a good haircut will do...I like this a LOT better:



eta: That, and an open collar area, showing more chest. Makes my face/head seem less large.

Not a wolf-whistle, but a "mwarr-rrraaarrr!", while being slinky, approaching their prey...

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.



Deanna <3

Awesome pics, Deanna! What a great change!

[VanessaM]

Deanna, you're transition is remarkable; maybe it's just me but I can see the difference in just your eyes. They seem to shout how much happier you are then in the first photo! And bravo on the weight loss, you look great. I'll have to ask you how you managed it sometime since I'm going to aim on getting down to 145 from my current 220 while I transition.

Vanessa, I may not be the one to ask for diet advice. All I did was eat a bit less, eat a little better, exercise a little more, stress a LOT less, and start transitioning. I did not have to work at it at all really. I'm fortunate, I know. I was always skinny before my 40's. Now that I'm in my 50's I'm revisiting and staying in the skinnys. Now hovering right around 140.

Deanna

Oh, and thank you so much for the compliment. I am infinitely happier than I had ever thought possible in the before years.

Deanna,
       That's a remarkable transition and it show's what's possible for those who have a can-do positive attitude and want to be a great looking woman more than anything else on earth. Good job and thanks so much for sharing!

[Jeepgirl90]

Ok why not. I haven't been in transition as long as some others but I'll share anyway:
