Ok, it's 12 years later (OMG) and I am in the same position, and no more educated. I have realized that I have gained all the weight back that I lost last time (change in diet, exercise) and am back to 210 from 165. I know how to lose the weight, I've done it before and I WILL do it again. It will be harder now that I am at 50 instead of <40.
What I would like to know is can I lose weight/exercise and keep/add feminine curves? I know there is no miracle answer or it would be in wide use. I'm not on hormones of any type, except the dang T that my body makes. What exercises are there that will focus on building muscle to accent any curve I may be left with? Most of what I see online tends to be adds to buy our product, be it herbals or what ever, but very seldom is there a meaningful review from a MTF.
Are there any dietary changes, be it get rid of or add lots of this to your diet?
I don't have a weight goal, just get rid of any unwanted body fat.
It was the camera that set me off last time, this time it was realizing I was at the top end of regular sizing for clothes that has set me off on this mission. (again).
