How much muscle mass did you lose in your transition?

OMG that's off the hook incredible.......

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it lol. I took the diet plan from Christian Bale's "The Machinist."

Had one egg for breakast.
Can of tuna in water for lunch
Salmon or Tuna for dinner
Apple for snack.

Well...he only ate one can of tuna and an apple a day. But yeah, I wasn't that adventurous lol

I like Salmon. how was the egg prepared?

I lost a little muscle mass, but I didn't exactly have a lot to begin with. I actually gained some weight with hormones, but then I needed to anyway.

I have quite a bit of muscle to lose. I want to slim down quite a bit. this is me 2 yrs ago. And yes, I'm such a geek.

  I didn't have much muscle mass to begin with.  I actually gained muscle and bone mass after 1 year on HRT.  I was told that I may have had too much testosterone in my system during my adulthood.  That explains the low muscle mass and high libido I had.  This unintentional effect is actually welcome here along with the feminizations elsewhere on my body.  That 225 lb telescope takes much less effort to load onto the truck than when I got it 20 years ago through to last year with the same ramp and dolly I transport it with!  About 40 loads/offloads a year.  I am stronger now than I was in my early 20's.  Go figure!

I did loose some It's difficult to say exactly how much because I used to skateboard and freerun instead so I measured my strength in different terms. (Ie my power/weight pecentage) Before I could hoist 130% my own body weight whitch was easily enough to throw myself over a wall or jump a good 7ft

After hormones however my arms actually got slightly bigger at first because the muscle turned into fat whitch I then later lost and my arms slimmed out.
Now I weigh 10stn and I can hoist about 95% my own body. Whitch sadly isn't enough to reliably climb walls or climb up from a dangling position.

So it's difficult to say but I'd imagine thats at least a 45-50% drop in upper arm strength. my arm muscles only look about 20% smaller however but they arn't as dense as they used to be in my case. Leg and core muscles less but also effected maybe a third weaker.

It's also harder to build them up I find I did try to conserve some strength as it was pretty taxing cycling uphill but it was ultimately futile the upkeep needed to keep muscle also doubled.

if you do heavy work as a child or teenager your bones will grow big to take the loads and the loads of the muscles attaching to them and so you may get a big build that won't slim down much.
I did heavy work all my growing years and I'm quite heavy for my height so I have to assume I have heavy bones as there's no real fat or muscle bulk after 7 years on hormones.
