It is always said that estrogen distributes body fat different (butt and boobs). I almost have the feeling that estrogen is not doing this to my body in this manner. I gained almost 10 pounds since i started E (yes gained, while I was loosing weight prior to starting it), but non of it did go to either my boobs or butt, I think it decided to join the other bacon of my gut!. Now I finally start to loose the stuff again, I lost about 5 pounds now since i started a forced weight loss program!
As NatalieRene said, keeping the weight in check works only through life style changes. I was able to stay for many years at ~ 200 lbs (after loosing almost 100). This estrogen thing threw me off, and I have to adjust for this now, and I also want to loose about 20 to 25 more lbs. My diet is pretty much dictated by my Type II diabetes (and I am doing well with this, i was diagnosed almost 20 years ago, and am still able to control it with Medformin only, while my sister died of complications of it. We inherited this disease from our mother, who also died on it).
anyway, I can't do much concerning my died, I have to increase my calorie burning.
