Anna, wow what a transformation! How did you manage to shed so much of that muscle mass in just 6 months?
Well that photo was taken in July so there was a little more than 6 between them, although only 6 on hormones.
I stopped lifting all weights with my upper body and focused on a few sets of squats a couple of times a week and once or twice on an exercise bike per week.
I limited myself to 1200 calories per day and was pretty rigorous (maybe 1-2 days off a month) and made sure i kept eating nutritious stuff (added chilli to almost everything lol)
The hormones have obviously helped.
After month 3 i was noticing breasts budding and knew i needed to start feeding my body so i started tryign to put fat on, this has been successful and due to the estrogen dominance has gone in the right places. I am still noticing muscles loss but it is clinging on to my upper arms and shoulders (well hidden on photos!)
