OH MY GOD! You look so amazing! You are on your way, girl! I am so excited to see your journey!

I'm in awe. You dont look heavy, you look gorgeous!

We're on a similar regiment. I get as much walking in as i can in a day and then I'm only taking in maybe 1200-1500 calories though I'm 6' foot.

I feel like this is a completely worthless post, but I can't hold it in, my anticipation level is just overwhelming me.

What's really getting to me is even after I get the prescription, because CVS is so expensive I am going to have to use an online pharmacy which means shipping time. I'm going to do the math and see if I can justify having them overnight a 90 day supply (more bang for the buck on shipping). If it still saves over CVS, I think I have to do it.

Even with the GoodRX card?

Your posts are good fun and I look forward to them. You've really been there for me, so let me tell you, give yourself a break and some love. Youre awesome and its okay to know it!

There's nothing worthless about your post, Ellie. Most of us have been there, and are enjoying reliving your excitement and anticipation.

I demand patience NOW!

Unfortunately for CVS, yes. The prices I found were through the GoodRx app. It's not quite as bad for the HRT medicines as it is for proscar(finast) (which is 26 at CVS, 10 at walmart...), but it's still enough to add up to hundreds a year. over ordering from the online store or going out to walmart(which is impractical to refill a prescription for me when for the same price I can have it sent to my door, with the delay for shipping only being an issue for the first month).

Dang.

On Estradiol, are you getting the pills, sublinguals, the patch, or the shots?

I have no idea honestly, I assumed pilled since I think they are cheapest. I didn't think to ask during the appointment, or maybe she is waiting to discuss it until shes ready to actually write the prescription. Hrm, wonder if she will send it in or if I'll have to do a followup. Didn't think about having to schedule a followup.

How did I devolve into a stereotype so quickly. ;D Over the past 3 hours I've done nothing but look through clothing. My Amazon and Walmart carts (if I'm buying anything it has to be cheap in case it doesn't fit still ;/) are now loaded with several pairs of shoes, and all assortment of clothing. I am fighting so hard not to order them. All I was looking up was a pair of yoga pants (I had the brilliant idea I would be more motivated if I had something I wanted to wear doing it ;D), and it just snowballed.

That happens to me all the time! I have to be like super focused just on what I came there for or I'll go broke. I will say that having yoga pants does inspire me to exercise more often.

My wife and daughter love amazon shopping! They make like, what if we were rich carts and then save them. Sillies.

I have a dresslily cart and Cute (wish for makeup) cart I'm just waiting to pull the trigger on. I need to find some freelance work again for extra spending money.

   I buy a lot of my clothes online and frequently select stuff to put in my cart and go all the way to seeing what it would cost after adding shipping. It is at that point I will usually navigate away to some other web page. Not always though, I just received my 7 pairs of panties from victoria's secret that were on sale for $28. A girl has to get the bargains where she can find them, doesn't she? Now what am I to do with this reward card they sent for $20 off $40?
  Enjoy your shopping.

I find an amazon wishlist very helpful as a Christmas list. This is incredibly helpful with male relatives and friends. You don't have to worry about trying to describe it to them, which they will usually get wrong, you don't have to worry about them getting the wrong size and you don't have to try to describe the color to them. There only seems to be like 7 colors if you're a guy. If you say mauve or aubergine you get the fast blinks and total bewilderment. The nice thing about using an amazon list is that it's all stuff you know you want but it's still a surprise finding out which items they got you. And you also don't have to worry about them getting you something dumb. Last year one of the gifts my brother gave me was a toaster! Yes we needed a new one but not as a Christmas gift for me! If I didn't have the amazon list it's hard to tell what he would give me this year. A new mop, a vacuum cleaner, a toilet bowl brush.......

  You made me laugh Julia.  I am sure you would not want to know about many of the items I've had on my Amazon wish list. There was good reason why it was kept private and for my eyes only.

Haha, I was looking at that same exact sale. ;D

And I broke down and ordered the stuff. A cowl neck sweater to go with my jeans and then tall black boots to go with them, some shorter ankle length boots just because, and some girlie socks. I'm totally going to wear the socks even in guy mode, no one will ever know. I now officially own more pairs of women's shoes than I do men's. Plus some 10 dollar clip on earrings because I need to start figuring out what jewelry works for me.

My dad once bought my step mother a pressure washer for Christmas. It made the vacuum cleaner look much better in comparison. Last year he got my sister a lawn darts and horse shoes set. ... For a 16 year old girl. In 2016 (at the time). I... I don't even know.

Men love their power tools... my dad was so proud of the stupid pressure washer he bought, but only used once.  :icon_hahano:

Wait... they still make lawn darts?! I thought those were banned years ago.

Roll, I have been looking at the title of this thread an I have come to the conclusion that you are watching far to many old television shows. The reason I say this is because film is becoming very difficult to locate because many of the manufactures including Kodak have discontinued manufacturing most of it. Television shows have been taped for a long time because tape is easer to work with and going digital may soon result in shows being recored on a hard drive or flash memory.

Sort of fake lawn darts, not giant metal spike lawn darts. ;D

So today my entire family was out of town. For the first time ever, I went around the house dressed correctly. To feel free just to go about my day and do stuff without having to worry about changing just to go use the bathroom is incredible. On top of it, I had something that was both hilarious and heartening. My sister's dog didn't recognize me. She started going crazy barking at me when I went downstairs like I was an intruder in the house. I had to take my wig off to calm her down. Then she got crazy excited to see me like I had just appeared out of nowhere. If I look different enough dressed up to a dog who also is primarily going off scent to appear to be a different person, that just blows my mind. (And she's not normally one of those dogs who reacts weird to hats and stuff. My brother has one of those.)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd.... well, here goes nothin'. Full body shot with new blouse and my standard "hair". I am still a good 40 pounds overweight even for a guy, so keep that in mind. (213 a week or two ago at 5'10".) ;D (Also, I really don't have much underchin fat, not sure why that showed up so prominently here.)



Girl I just saw this pic, don't know how I missed it before but you looked amazing! I agree with everyone that said you look passable. HRT will probably do wonders on you [emoji5]
