Title: HRT Changes?

I had some basic questions on HRT changes...
1) Will my shoulders... un-broad?
Guy's have larger shoulders... will this change? or will i have to deal with it? or are their surgeries for this?
2) Weight loss?
Since most guy's weigh alot more than girls, will my weight drop with it? or will i have to do huge amounts of weight loss? (example, from 210 lbs as a male to a "healthy" girl zone for 5'10)
Those are the questions i have... can someone help? thank you!

I've heard hrt can make it more difficult to lose weight, but that wasn't the case for me. I haven't seen any change in my ability to store fat... yet.
It won't change your skeleton.

HRT will (probably) make you lose muscle mass, as well as gain fat. Since muscle is heavier than fat, you SHOULD lose weight. Ho-we-ver, HRT reduces your metabolism to female levels. It SHOULD reduce your appetite to female levels, too, but since appetite is vastly psychological, you have to be careful, or you'll put on weight.
Your shoulders (unless you're below 16, and even then) shouldn't get thinner, in terms of bone. However, the loss of muscle can reduce them more than one would think, depending on the amount of muscle there is. And even if they stay a little broad, if they get less muscle on them, they might seem very feminine anyway,

I've lost about 5 pounds since starting hormones, and I'm pretty sure I've been eating the same. I hope my shoulders thin nipple down its tolerable but agh these linebacker shoulders!

ホルモンを飲んでから、１キロやせてなちゃった！\(^.^)/
*end gratuitous Japanese*
Translation: Since I started hormones I've lost 1 kilogram (2.2lbs). I'm trying to average 2 jogs a week of about 6 kilometres each (3.7 miles) - more if I can manage it.
Weight is potentially an issue on HRT - as you will lose muscle mass, if you maintain the same food intake, you will gain weight. I like my food, so I'm picking up the exercise instead. As far as the shoulders are concerned, if I get really lucky, they might narrow a fraction, but the bone structure is pretty wide. :(

It really depends on your physiology. Everyone responds to HRT differently. Some gain weight, some loose weight... some stay the same. No "one-size-fits-all" guaranteed outcome with HRT.

Wearing open chest or v-neck tops will distract from your broad shoulders -
