No worries I knew that, I recognized it from the behind the scenes stuff of the hellboy films.

Nice, like the tattoo.  Was thinking about getting something similar on my forearm

+1 point

[ty.to.the.man]

so clearly I'm mad out of shape. I haven't been on my normal work out regimen which sucks but just felt like sharing my chest progress. About 8ish months on T (slow changes blah) and 4ish months post-op

[DriftingCrow]

so clearly I'm mad out of shape.

seriously? you look fine to me.

[Keaira]

Nothing wrong with what I see here Ty.^_^
I have to say, Shantel is right. Having chatted with Caleb every night for just over a year, the transformation for you guys is pretty amazing. I have a video that I torture Caleb with every now and then when he's dysphoric, that he sent me when we first started talking to each other, just to show him how much he has changed. And you'd think that his old self and his present self were related and not the same person. So, Bravo to you guys.

Ty, holy ->-bleeped-<-! You call that 'out of shape'!? You should see my chest! Whoah! You look badass and awesome! I must admit that I'm slightly jealous when I see that, but also happy (for you, but also for myself and other transguys; there is still hope! )

And Joussef, definitely looking badass man!

Liminal, +1 for trying for sure. Speaking of "points for trying", I'm not quite a muscular guy either (damn you T!), see this;

Ooo-hoo! See how supa-dupa muscular! I can see about three pixels of toning. WHOAH!
No really... once I get on T (which will probably take over 1,5 years, given the waiting lists), I really have to work out more. I don't want to be a body builder, but a shape like Ty would be... welll... goddamn awesome!

[Jared]

Sure you guys get points  And Ty your chest looks really good!

I started to take photos about other body parts than just face around 3 months on T, haven't take since then so I thought it's time again and was impressed with my stomach xD I don't know if it's badass I just really like it 


And a full body: (ignore my mom's sheets  )

[Erik Ezrin]

Whoah, that stomach is getting hairy Jared!
And what is more manly and badass than lost of hair? ;P

It at least is a good sign the T is doing it's job!

Everyone in this thread's looking pretty damn good... I've been feeling pretty badass myself these past couple of months after shedding about 25kgs (55lbs) since March this year

Looking good Jay!  I can't believe that's you in the second picture.  If I may ask, how did you lose the weight?

[Aussie Jay]

Thanks man Yeah the first pic in the 2nd was the 10th of Feb and the others were taken about the 1st of June. I signed up for a 12 week challenge with my gym and never looked back! It's a lot of work but so worth it.. I cut out dairy, breads/pasta/white rice etc, soft drink, takeout and alcohol altogether. I started eating oats made on water and lean meats with salad or veggies in 5ish smaller meals a day (rather than 3 big ones). Snacks became a tin of tuna and 10 almonds and if I was really looking to splurge I had a choc flavoured protein bar!! I hit the gym at least once a day (sometimes 2 or 3 times - even if it was a yoga or pilates class) and I had my personal trainer twice a week. The prize was $10K so I went all out lol!!

After it was all over I started my course to become a personal trainer myself - I'm almost finished So can't wait!! Fitness is fun man and I have the bug..! I took a month off after the challenge - my bday, a trip away etc and ate basically whatever I wanted - and now I've just started the next 12 week challenge Honestly the big factor in my weight loss has been diet and cutting out sodas and chocolate - I am a self confessed chocoholic! I had to start small though - so the first week I cut back on things like 1 can of soda a day instead of 2 or 3 (or more!) until I was able to cut it out altogether. If you try and drop everything at once - you're looking at potential disaster.

[Erik Ezrin]

Wow! Jay, respect man! You lost so much weight! And you look a lot healthier (and more badass) now!
It must have been hard, but awesome you stuck with it!

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

Nice build, Ty.
