Inches: chest reduction & hip increase

[vicki_sixx]

Hiya all, could you detail how many inches you lost on your chest (due to reduction in muscle mass) on HRT and also how many inches you put on your hips?

Please can you also detail your height and age when you achieved maximum results?

Before and after pics would really help if you have any.

I am especially interested in hearing from those who started out with similar builds to me: 5' 8", 42" chest, 34" hips.

I'm a little taller but here's what happened to me from Jan 15 until today.  My height remained at 5'11" and I'm 57 right now.

Before and after measurements:
Weight 205,  165. (So some change is fat loss)
Upper Chest: 42,  37
Bust: 43,  41.5
Rib cage: 39,  36
Hips: 41, 38.5

I don't have a before pic except of my bare fat belly.  LOL

Here is my pic from last week after my endo appt.

Thanks for that. Some very impressive figures there. Were you fat beforehand - hence the 5 inch chest reduction or is that just a loss in muscle mass? Your hips have reduced too but I would've expected them to increae a little.

Your pics looks great - love your bottom half - looks like plenty of curves there (which is even more confounding that you say your hips have reduced in size).

Thank you.  My hips did shrink but my waist shrank more.  Before I was fatter but most of that was around my waist.  My chest and upper back had a little more fat but more muscle too.  My pecs were bigger but my lats were a lot bigger.  My neck also shrank by two inches and there was little fat there before.

My legs haven't really changed much at all though.  They have always been big with not a whole lot of fat.

Again - so impressive! I hope others chime in and show you're not a one-off. because you're really giving me hope! I'd love a shrinking waist and like you it's my lats that give me my broadness up top. Interesting that your neck shrinks as though I am not overly concerned about mine, the fact it's almost 18 inches means it's not very ladylike!

I did find an old pic from day one of HRT.  A lot is from diet and exercise but the waistline is more pronounced than it was in the past at similar bodyfat levels.  This is still a work in progress but I'm not unhappy with where it's headed.  It's also better than where it was at this time last year at a similar weight.  My biggest limitation I think is my rib cage and there's noting I can do about that but I don't think it's too terribly bad for almost 60, :-).

Very impressive, thank you and yes a much more pronounced waist line. As your ligaments and connective tissue also beging to shorten you'll probably find that along with shrinking feet, your rib cage also does to a some extent.

I am 6' tall and weight about 195. I have been on HRT for around 4 1/2 weeks. My weight has been pretty stable during that time. Below bust started at around 37" and is now 36". Hips have gone from 42" to 43".

I am so jealous.

I was 5'8", 31 years old, and 42-32-38 before I began HRT. I just measured myself yesterday, and and my current measurements are 38DDD-28-42 (I'm also now 5'7"). I'm 7 years on HRT, so I guess this is probably the final results. I didn't have a lot of muscle around my chest to start with, though, and I also got up to 44" hips before I recovered enough from surgery to get back on the bike.
