Just be careful to watch your budget...  it can get out of hand so easily when shopping for women's clothes and shoes.
Yes...the half-dozen pairs of boots will attest to that. And yet neither Wal-Mart nor Target is carrying tall-boot holders anymore.

When taking HRT or any meds it is very important to stay hydrated, drink lots of water and fluids even if you don't feel excessively thirsty... this helps to flush toxins out of your body. 

My salt cravings include not only dill pickles, but also olives, potato chips, salty nuts and salty foods in general....
I'm not a pickle or nut person, and potato chips will be fattening. Would Gatorade be a potential substitute when taking spiro?

Looking good!  Is that your natural hair? This length or a little more (shoulder length) is what I am trying to get.  The speed with which mine seems to grow, tells me I have to wait another 100 years or so to get there!

Thanks! I'm wearing a human hair topper, so most of what you see is mine by right of purchase only, LOL. My (colored to match) natural hair is blended throughout the sides & back.

Rory!
You look so good! Happy first day! I bet you are on cloud 9 right now!

Lacy

Thanks, Lacy. Feeling good, that's for sure! I'm also wondering why it took so long for me to take this latest step, but it was important for me to do it on my own timetable. I was definitely ready, lol!

Being from a Latino family, they usually have no problems at all with others being LGBTQ, as long as it's not in their family.
So, you tell me, I should not get adopted by a Latino family?  Well, it is good enough for me that they continue to be my friends!

Great job Sophie! You did come across very well, and you look awesome! Going public isn't easy for many of us, but those who do help make the world a bit more accepting. Thank you! :eusa_clap:

Gatorade and the like have potassium in them also and can be a problem if taking spironolactone. Depending on your potassium levels you most likely don't have to stay away completely but not a good choice as a regular beverage.

I was actually told that exact same thing by my doctor she said to stay away from Gatorade and Powerade

OMG I just had sex for the first time in over 2 years and it was by a really hot stripper  I can't believe I just did that. It felt so good  I am still shaking. He is the first guy I have had sex with since I transitioned

Well if I had sex for the first time in over 2 years, I think 'happy' would be a gross understatement! I am ecstatic for you!!!  :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:

The blouse I have wanted went on sale today and my store pickup order is confirmed for pickup in my size and color.  It is nice to get a better price, isn't it?   :)

I went some more cloth, shoes, purse and necklace shopping.  I was dressed femle, but had no make up on just my normal male face with my rather short hair kind of female done.  The lady who controlled the changing rooms pointed to the guys changing rooms, but I told her that I was going to the ladies ones, and she said "of course".  A young man at the checkout called me ma'm.  50/50 passing with a male head an top of female clothing is not all that bad (I think)

Today was also the first day ever in my entire life that I wore a skirt.  Definitely a new and somewhat different feeling.  I am not sure whether I like it to be fully exposed to the elements down at my parts!

That's how I went today (I hope this link will work)  san's my doggy

You're looking good. You have an adorable dog too.

For me I'm thankful for the continued weight loss. I'm down to a flat 225.

Thanks! And my doggy also thanks you.  It is a Rottweiler/Great Dane mix, and she was a rescue from a dog fighting outfit!

Keep on going down, the rewards are great (I want to loose another 20 Lbs).  The slimmer you are, the larger the selection on really cool clothing items is waiting for you!

@Steph2.0
Dear Stephanie:
You look so very beautiful in your picture and your new jacket... but sunglasses in November???  I know, I know, your Florida weather is still kinda like summertime. ... 

...but here the days are getting quite short now and it has been C_O_L_D
This morning when I woke up it was -2 deg F  (-19 C) !!! Burrrrrr

Sunrise will be just before 9:40AM this morning  ... and Sunset at 3:40PM and they will keep getting shorter through winter solstice Dec 21, 2018   ........... no sunglasses needed here for a while.

Thank you for sharing...
Hugs and well wishes,
Daniel

I have to go to my electrolysis session in Fort Myers.  I am debating whether I should wear my down coat or not.  We want to go to the Music Walk in Fort Myers tonight, and I might have to dig out my skiing stuff to make sure I don't freeze to death!
