Just a little encouragement here: I started at nearly 200 2 years ago at a height of 5'10, now im down to just under 130.  You can get there, but dont rush it, for love of yourself, never rush it.

Result of my medical check up was delivered yesterday.

Height 184 cm (6 feet)
Weight 67 kg (147 lbs)
Waist 71 cm (28 inch)
BWI 19.8

My waist size is always overestimated by female nurses who even sometimes measure my girth as up to 31 inch.

My goal is 65 kg (143 lbs). As I have had caught a cold for more than 1 month, I have not been able to exercise frequently and it reached 67 kg. And, nowadays, it rains or snows, bad for outdoor exercise. I will start again when the rainy snow stops.

Snow stopped, and I ran about 10 km (about 6 miles) tonight.

Today's decrease by exercise is 716 calories = 0.19 kg = 0.41 lbs.
Usually I am supposed to eat more after exercise.

Are you kidding me? Having been 21 lbs. thinner in May and already feeling fat 21 lbs. ago, I feel like a ground sloth now. I need to lose all of it, but at least each pound lost will be like a little peace found on my sliding scale of girth.
Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: Allyda on December 29, 2013, 03:25:46 PM
Even though I have slight features and narrow shoulders, it's not easy for me to maintain my current weight. Physical activity is key for me. If I stay couped up in the house I'll easily start creeping toward 130 which is absolutely too fat for my bone structure. Ya gotta move it to lose it girls! ;)
Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: ashrock on December 29, 2013, 03:53:08 PM
Nope not kidding at all... I've been all over everywhere weight wise, feeling fat never goes away or does me any good.  If you feel fat on the heavier side of the scale, you still will on the lighter side.  Its ok to want to lose weight, but feeling bad about yourself, never a good thing to do under any circumstances. dont feel bad about it, just change it and dont dwell on it is all I'm saying.  But this is probably a bit off a topic I should avoid anyway.  never accept an comparison from yourself that you would slap someone else for saying or would feel bad calling someone else.

Ashrock, being on that sliding scale yet still being unhappy with your weight no matter where it lands may apply to you, but not to me. On something like this, girl, you should probably just speak for yourself. I'm in a tough position being injured and having to lose and maintain my weight loss on diet only, but I'll get there. I had a traumatic event that lasted for nearly three months upset my life tremendously, but I'm glad I spoke up about it and our Friday weight spot is now someplace for me to go to. However, for people not to feel bad about their weight no matter what their eyes, bodies and scales tell them is one more reason why this country in particular and the Western World in general, is eating itself into a huge, deep and early grave. I'm not trying to be a bitch, but for decades being in good physical shape was the only thing I could seem to do right. It was all the other things like pretending I was male that made me suicidally unhappy.

And it's why I originally wanted this tread to remain very simple.  We need a place for you and I, and all the other girls posting our weight to get a little kick of motivation.

So I just got weighed and with my sweats on I'm 158lb, I gained almost 30lb the past year. Last time I was at this weight I looked overweight but right now I just have curves really. Is it normal to gain that much weight on hrt? Oh yeah I still look rather skinny too.

Ok! The first week has passed, and despite eating much too much over the new year holiday I've come out the other side at:

82.6kg or 13st or 182lb

...which is no change on last week. I'll take that! :)

My first post on this thread.

On September 16, 2013 I weighed 247.7 pounds.

Today, January 2, 2014 I weigh 203.2 lbs (-44.5 lbs) and finally starting to really see the difference and I feel so much better.  I plan to lose at least another 25-30 pounds. I am 6 feet tall.

I am keeping a food log, calorie counting with 1500/day max, and running on a treadmill usually 4 days a week.  When I first started the treadmill just walking 30 minutes was difficult, now I can go at a running pace with some incline dialed in and keep going for over an hour!
Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: TessaMarie on January 02, 2014, 11:32:45 PM
I am 5'11", 1.81m.  This is 0.5" shorter than my pre-HRT height.  My wife is now the same height as me.

Fri 18/Jan/2013:  201.6lbs (91.6kg) - First measurement, I admitted I might be (ha!) trans 2 days later.
Fri 21/Jun/2013:  167.0lbs (75.9kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 169.0 (76.8kg) & 170.2 (77.3kg) - 3 days after I started E. 
Losing this weight involved watching my diet (home-cooked food as much as possible & no snacking) & walking daily (4 miles) for 5 months.  I had read that it is easier to lose weight on T than on E.
Fri 11/Oct/2013:  171.6lbs (78.0kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 172.3 (78.3kg) & 171.4 (77.9kg) - I relaxed a bit after reaching my target of between 12st (76.4kg) & 170lbs (77.3kg).
Fri 01/Nov/2013:  183.6lbs (83.5kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 181.2 (82.4kg) & 176.2 (80.1kg) - After visiting the parents for almost 3 weeks.
Fri 27/Dec/2013:  174.8lbs (79.5kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 174.5 (79.3kg) & 175.8 (79.9kg) - Last Friday.

I have a graph of my daily weight since 18/Jan/2013 (I'm a bit of a numbers geek) which I don't seem to be allowed post yet.

EDIT:  This graph shows how my weight changed from 18/Jan/2013 to 1/Jan 2014:    http://imgur.com/7MrBW8K

Fri 03/Jan/2014:  172.4lbs (78.4kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 173.8lbs (79.0kg) & 174.8lbs (79.5kg)

My weight dropped a lot this week.  I started walking daily again after not being able to for a few weeks due to surgery, followed by a lingering cold & a flu.

btw:  I tend to pay more attention to the rolling averages since my daily weight can fluctuate up or down by as much as 3lbs (1.4kg).

I got down to around 216 just before the holiday season hit.  I should be back there before too long now that the holidays are over, and I'm back to my normal routine of swimming 3 to 5 days a week.  The goal I've told everyone so far is 175, which would be a good "male" weight for me, but I'd like to get down to 150 or less.  I'm not as concerned about the number though, I just plan on continuing what I'm doing and I'm sure my weight will normalize at some point.

Grats on the progress Zoe !  :)

I only chose 170lbs as my target because I had seen that as the suggested maximum weight for 5'11" men on doctor's charts (in Ireland).  But really my goal was to be able to look down & be able to see my belt again.

Of course, this journey being what it is, no sooner did I get to being able to see my belt when the view once again become partially obstructed, just not by my belly this time ...   :angel:

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Back walking 4 miles/day (without weights) since 2/Jan, after my biopsy on 25/Nov.

I noticed yesterday that a sweater I bought in October, which fit perfectly on my shoulders then, is now obviously about a full inch too wide at each shoulder.  It looks like some of the recent weight loss is upper body muscle loss.  Time to get out the wrist weights (my upper body strength has never been high - I still need to be able to life & carry servers).

Don't worry, you can do it. I get very little exercise, too, and I've managed to make good progress so far.

Thanks, yeah I put on all this weight over the last two years I was a computer technician on the road and I never had time to eat so I would always stop for fast food.... a lot of fast food.

height 5'11'
December 31st 107kg (235lbs)
January 10th 102kg (224lbs)
January 18th 99kg (218lbs)

I think it will slow down now, or at least that is what I have heard :(

my goal before starting HRT is 80-85kg (186-176lbs range) then I will start and with muscle loss and ongoing diet/exercise I should get down to 76-75kg (163-165lbs). After that who knows what will happen. But I do not aim to be a stick figure as women have meat on their hips/butt and I expect to gain/drop over the next year to find a good spot for my size.

Noo! ... Not chocoloate !? ... I fully support Allyda's position!   :angel:

LOL ... That was the one snack food I allowed myself throughout last year, although I did reduce my intake a bit (OK, a lot).  But cutting it out altogether was just too much for me.

At least you managed to keep your weight about the same ... unlike some other people ... /hides ...

The wife's health scare seems to have passed, so I am hoping I can get back on track this week.

Seriously you open my fridge and 2 shelves in the door are devoted to my favorite chocolate goodies. Joan's right though moderation is key and for me, so is keeping active. I've stayed at 5-5, 118-120 lb's for the last 7 years living my current lifestyle. I don't work out or go to the gym mind you, I just try and get some physical activity each day. Lately though with it being as cold as it's been though I have cut my caloric intake by about 250-300 per day because I've been stuck inside. Still enjoy my chocolate treats daily though, lol! ;) :D

I went to an all-you-can-eat place on Friday night and I ate all that I could.  I gained 4lbs...

I have a goal of 160lbs, but my body seems to have had a look in that direction and spotted something more interesting in the opposite one. 

Anyway, good luck everybody with the diet and exercise!  :angel:

So,

27/12/13 87.6kg (182lb)

Congrat's alabamagirl.. 2lb a week is ideal and about best average we can expect in healthy weight loss..
After all 2 x 20 weeks equals a big number 40 right!

Good Progress Sarah Leah !  :)

I also found myself losing pounds per week initially (5lbs the first week, 5 lbs over the next 2 weeks, 10lbs in the next 5 weeks), which then tapered off (15lbs over the next 14 weeks).  I was disappointed when the rate of weight loss dropped, but that was just impatience on my part.  There were also times when my weight would barely change for up to two weeks, even though my diet & amount of exercise were the same.  But I did reach my goal weight & then stayed close to that for over 3 months (until I visited my parents & ate mammy-cooked food for almost 3 weeks).

If your height is 1.84m & your weight is 67kg, then your BMI is 19.79, which is close to the lower end of the 18.5 to 25 BMI range that is considered healthy (62.6kg to 84.6kg for your height).  The midpoint of that would be 21.75 BMI (73.6kg at your height).

Perhaps you are already at what your body considers its optimum weight ?  You have already beaten the weightloss goal for every estimate of the best "healthy weight".  That means you have done really well  :)   

All you now need do is maintain what you have already achieved (easier said than done for most of us). 

When I weighed 147lbs (66.8kg) at 1.81m, I was very skinny.  When I entered the treatment centre after my last run (not the athletic kind), I weighed 140lbs (63.6kg) & looked like someone had been starving me for months.  Thinner is not always better.

I'm not so sure about that  -  I'm still only learning about these things.  I have been doing a lot of Internet searches recently (although, being a numbers geek, I have naturally collated my findings into a spreadsheet so I can try to make sense of all the formulae out there).

I can understand that (only too well).  I miss having a waist I could easily pull in & hold at 24" ... (that was aeons ago - back when I was in my 20s).  (As I type this I wonder how on earth I was able to hide being trans from myself until last year  :-\ )

Oh.  You have me here.  I shot up a few pounds yesterday after convincing myself on Saturday that since vegetables weren't fattening, that meant I could eat a larger plateful.  Well, perhaps if there hadn't been quite so many buttered garlic mashed potatoes on the plate, and if it had only been the one plateful, then maybe I mightn't have gained quite so much weight :embarrassed: ...  oops.

I am going to be so glad when I get the all clear from my doc to wear my leg weights again.  My walks are just too easy without them.  Soccer & drinking injuries make running impractical for me (it took a skilled physio several months to fix up my knees enough for me to be able to cycle without pain - a very skilled physio: I had been told that I would need surgery if I ever wanted that pain to go away).

I have found that I get tempted to push too hard if I don't have a little something to restrain me when I drive myself a little crazy (a very short drive in my case).  For weight loss, my stopping point has been whatever weight I am when I can look down & see my belt buckle without my belly getting in the way.  I had to make it something that was not tied to a specific number - I am too good at manipulating numbers to my own ends.  It helps that I have a wife who is not shy about letting me know when I have become slightly crazier than usual.

Do try to keep in mind the numbers I gave you.  Whatever stopping point we may have, I'm guessing it should probably not be lower (or higher) than all of the various "healthy weight" charts. 
(62.6kg for 18.5 BMI @ 1.84m was a bit lower than the minimum for any other method of calculating "healthy weight" that I could find, ie: Robinson (63.1kg); Miller (63.0kg); Devine (66.7kg); Hamwi (66.4kg).)

Be well   :)

Ladies please! You're stressing me out with these big weights. Cracking the weight-loss code isn't rocket science. Read my post in the "Nutrition" section. In sum: Human Beings are hunters and meat eaters by nature (our eyes are forward like a cat or a wolf). This means that red meat, eggs (raw or near raw), butter, raw milk, high-quality coffee, veggies, fresh in-season fruit and clean water are on the menu. Sugar, sugary snacks and drinks, alcohol of any kind, juicing, retail milk, ALL GRAIN and THINGS MADE FROM GRAIN and anything wrapped in a retail package are off the menu. Beware GMOs .. don't eat them. Search "Diabetes Warrior" and follow his advice. If you're eating chocolate and pizza you are most likely pre-diabetic if not a full blown-out diabetic.

Google how wrestlers cut weight. Wrestlers who stay on natural (read protein) diets have little trouble maintaining and dropping weight. Sandwich and spaghetti eating athletes are always worried about weight.

Cut your portions down, eat a small piece of steak with veggies daily. If you get hungry drink water first. Sometimes you're not really hungry, just thirsty. One small meal a day. Snack on fresh fruit in the morning. Crack a fresh, free range, egg and eat the yoke for fats and B-12 when you get hungry.

Stay sexy,

Danielle

Well, Friday has come around again where I am so I'll get the ball rolling on this week's changes. And the big news this week is...

...no real change. I started at 82.7kg on the 27/12
I was 83.0kg on 24/1
And I'm 83.0kg on 31/1  :(

I've been losing weight constantly since March last year, altogether 12kg.

I'm still doing the same exercise every week (50miles or so cycling to and from work), same diet too.

The only difference is that I started HRT in January. They weren't wrong when they said it's difficult to lose weight once the hormones start  :-\

Ten hours ago

I'm such a nerd. Weighed two 1 foot cubes of of the icy snow for an average of 21 pounds (call it 20) , and the deck is 33 ft by 10 ft, or 330 sq.ft. The snow was 2 ft. deep, so yeah, 13,200 lbs of snow. The deck is clear, and that snow in this picture is actually piled up on the lawn six feet below.

You're about the same height as myself.  I lost weight fast at first, but I was starting from a bit over 200lbs.  My rate of progress declined as my weight dropped.  3lbs in two weeks is still really good  :)

Good work in one year. My loss was similar in the first year, and even though it leveled out after that I feel great.  Keep it going.

Thank you, I shall. My goal is to get down to 150 (I am 5'8"). Since I started taking Spiro I find myself actually craving and eating healthier foods than I would have chosen in the past. A unexpected but very welcome side effect.

Thanks! When I started regular exercise and diet changes two years ago I was at about 220, and dropped weight pretty steadily until I hit 180 last summer, and I seemed to plateau there. It's only been the past month when I finally broke through that invisible barrier and started losing again. So being where I am is still better than where I was. :)

Well I weighed 194 at the beginning of this week and I'm now at 197 again.

That's ok though because Ive been eating like a fatty all week. The plan goes diet for two weeks, enjoy myself for one, and repeat. It seems to trick the body into food mode instead of storage mode.

And this Morning 2/7/2014............Shwheeeww!! 119 lb's! Had to weigh myself three times to believe it. ;) I think alot of my weight's fluctuation between a couple of pounds one week over another is water weight. This could be the case for some of you girls out there too. Therefore I wouldn't sweat it unless it's a gain of 5 lb's or more. ;)

Running hurts my knees too much.  A soccer injury to my left knee & a drinking injury to my right left me unable to even cycle without pain for 13 years.  I'm not about to undo the minor miracle my physio worked to get those bits working well enough for me to cycle again by going and pounding on them.  Walking has been working well for me.  I will add in some cycling when the roads are a bit less icy.

I'm not too far off my 'goal weight', and yet I wonder why being less than 168lbs (12st) feels so much better than being over 170, even if only by a little bit ....  /sigh

Oh Hai, Joan is right.  I have found this to be the case quite often over the past year.  I get around feeling bad about it by looking at my 28-day rolling average.  It tends to fluctuate only by small amounts (except when I visited the parents).  Eg: The green line in this graph:    http://imgur.com/7MrBW8K

Never say never LordKat. I'm 5-5 and while my 119 lb's may be too thin for you depending on your bone structure 135-145 might be realistically within reach. I don't go to the gym nor do I excercise at all in any traditional sense, but staying active is the key and what works for me. You could find an outdoor activity you enjoy and that would probably be enough. I'm not trying to give advice nor criticize, I'm only tyring to make a suggestion because you sounded a little down about your weight that's all. And if I've misunderstood I apologize.

February 7th  97.5 (214.9lbs)
February 13th  97kg (212lbs) was 96.7kgs yesterday so I rounded it up!

Started  doing 15km (9.4miles) each morning on my bike for four days now. I do it in under 40mins with 1/3 of steady inclines (about 5kms uphills). A lot of trucks on the road so its scary ... lol. Also changed more of my diet four days ago to replace other stuff such as chocolate, red meat and coffee:

•   bananas x2
•    black plumbs x2
•    pear x1
•    unsalted nuts -very small handful-
•   1- 2 litres of water
•   Bowl of green salad (kale?) beetroot, cherry tomato, black zebra tomato, pear tomatoes. (added 10-15g of low fat cheddar every second day to it now for extra flavour) This has no dressing ever.
***aiming to eat under 5-6000kj per day on average, as I got told I need 8000-9000 to maintain weight, so I guess dropping a bit will aid more weight loss***
I will stick to this 5-6 days, then add meat one day, and whatever I desire on that one day. Fingers crossed I see more weight loss as I never did correctly exercise until now as I need to drop 5-7kg to make it easier to ride the bike. I just hope adding the bike riding five days a week will have an impact.

Today I measured and found that it increased to 28 inch again, and my goal is 26 inch. I am going out for running, as the rain stopped.

About 10 years ago, my waist was 25.5 inch, but has increased steadily. My goal is now 26 inch.

Yes. Exercise is probably the only way of maintaining or decreasing body weight and girth.
Nowadays, I run about 10 km (6 mile), which actually can help decrease my body weight.
But the weather here is like monsoon. I can not run everyday.

Yes. I know that most women envy my body shape, but I have my own goal (26 inch). Most super models at my height have a 26 inch waist, and I want to look like a young lady, not aged women or men. Of course, I know it is just vanity.

Everybody tells me I'm too skinny but they don't understand I'm at a healthy weight for my bone structure. BMI charts only have 3 sizes small medium and large when it comes to frame or build, etc. Until they have an xx-small I go by where I feel the best. Barbie I understand your frustration. After all, ya can't run in a monsoon girl!, lol! :D

I had about 5 warmer days and now it's turned cold again keeping me inside. This has been the coldest winter in Florida I can remember in a long time. Best of luck reaching your waist size. Mine fluctuates around 26-27 but I'm only 5 ft. 5 in. tall. ;)

I do not have a scale to measure my weight.

The weather here is now like monsoon. It rains and shines alternatively. Whenever the rain stops, I go out for running.

Now I run for at least 1 hour to burn out my body fat, because our body fat usually starts to be burned in 40 minutes after aerobic exercise.

As it is winter, I felt that I got a kind of hypothermia yesterday. Returning home, I ate a lot of hot soup.

Hi Barbie, as a fellow runner I know a lot about it. As I see your activities the one thing that comes to mind is that your pace is rather low. Are you doing this on purpose? And if so, for what reason?
My advice to you would be to increase your pace(5.00-6.00/km) and you will see faster results, even if your runs are under 60 minutes.

Yes. I know it. There are several reasons.

I am relatively old and avoid fast running. Slow is always better. Second, as I run in the downtown, there are many traffic lights, making me stop frequently, and I can not run at a full speed. In winter, running fast can cause injury in leg muscles. I stretch well my legs before running.

I have run during the past 10 years, and fortunately I have not had any injury. At my age, some people get backbone or leg injury, stopping running after 0.5-1 years.

I do not run for breaking a record, but to maintain my health and body shape.

Your marathon record is impressive! It would be a world record in the 1930s. My best record is 5 min/km for 10 km marathon about 8 years ago.

That's totally valid and I have experience of coaching other runners that reason just like you. But there is nothing in saying that you are to old to run fast. I for example know a woman that started running in her mid-40's and ran a 38:30 10k at 59 years. And it's amazing that you've avoided injuries for 10 years.
I started running in 2006 and since then I've had one heart infection, three knee injuries and countless other injuries. I guess it depends on your level and speed. Some weeks in 2011-2012 I ran well over 150 miles and that's also when I had most of my injuries. Nowadays I try to run about 10k/day and I've noticed a decline in injuries, but also in speed and stamina. So it's a fine line between pleasure and pain. :)

Yes. I think running should be a life-time exercise. There are many people around me who have finished several 'ultra-marathons', in some cases longer than 1,000 km. I am not such a maniac. I heard one guy passed away during ultra-marathon as a truck hit him when he was completely exhausted at the dawn. My friend was next to him, but thereafter he continued marathon. His Achilles's tendon was once broken, but he was recovered in 6 months, resuming marathon.

As getting old, it becomes more difficult to speed up early. In my case, after 5 km, I can speed up. And for diet purpose, the running speed is not important. Whether you run faster or slower, the difference is less than 10 min for a 10-km course. There is no reason that I should try hard  to run faster, risking even permanent injuries. If I want more calorie consumption, then I can run for additional 10 minute without speeding up.

About a week ago, I ran relatively fast to a shopping mall with a backpack for buying some fashion items for spring.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.staticflickr.com%2F3764%2F12598550055_2368863864_o.png&hash=41478acd6c14af2a8a9a1e0c77392255abe4ccdd)

The cold outdoor temperature in the street, together with fast speed, strained my leg muscles, and I felt minor spasms in my thighs. Now, it is OK. And the most dangerous threat to running here is actually cars and trucks (traffic accident).

A little rain is just good when you run, it helps keeping your blood temperature low in hot weather and gives you a bit of agression in cold weather so you speed up.
I'm not an ultra-runner myself, the longest I've run was about 73km, and I usually competed in >10km.  You have a sound reasoning and I totally understand you. It's always interesting to hear another person talk about running from their perspective.

Post by: Sarah leah on February 17, 2014, 05:28:06 PM
This week I increased my riding distance from 15km/9.4miles (40mins 3km uphill 12km flat) to 18km/11.18 miles (3km uphill, 12km flat, 3km gradual climb) in just under 46mins. I already am feeling more fit in two weeks, as I can get bursts of energy now and pedal full speed for 5min bursts then pace it again for 5-10 mins.

I have not checked my weight but I would say it will not change a lot this week, but it should in the coming weeks as I start to burn more fat.  Unfortunately with the exercise I seem to be craving junk food again and I have to fight to not buy a chocolate bar :(

Should I be adding any other easy exercise soon or just stick to the bike for now? Keep in mind I am a single parent so I only get a few hours in the morning to do cleaning, ironing, bike ride etc.

In terms of weight loss, endurance training is the best way to loose weight. But it wouldn't hurt if you threw in 15 minutes of strength training for your core and legs if you have the time.

A combination of several types of aerobic and anaerobic exercise is always better for your health and weight control. Biking is especially good for your backbone. I used to run and ride bike. However, here in my country, riding bike is not safe, as there are so many crazy drivers, and I stopped it. Still some of my friends enjoy mountain bike and cycling. They got injured at least once, and one guy was already hospitalized twice, risking his own life. Running is far safer than biking.

Yes. Partially right.

In my case, running wet in cold temperatures < 4  degree Celsius mostly causes a cold and even hypothermia, and I do not run when it rains in winter. Sometimes I run wearing waterproof jacket when it snows, and it helps a little bit.

In summer, it is fine, but also can cause hypothermia if running more than 1 hour. Yes. Summer shower is always a kind of blessing, or welcome rain, when I am completely exhausted with the heat.

I've never experienced hypothermia while running and I live in Sweden, where there often are temperatures below -10 Celsius during the winter. I have also run marathons in -5 C and ice cold rain, wearing shorts and a linen. But then again I was not very clever when I competed. My PB on the marathon is from a november run in 0C and I didn't feel the cold until the last 5k.
Nowadays when I run in cold/rainy weather I wear tights, a jacket gloves and a warm cap.
Here's a picture from a december marathon in -2C. (I won in 2.47.27)

The other runner wearing shorts didn't finish.

Some young men try to chase and pass me, as they think it is shameful not to run faster than a woman. Once a very fat young guy chased and tried to pass me. I could hear his panting sound, making me worry that he might collapse by some heart attack. I slowed down, letting him pass me. Some guys comment at my back to praise my body shape and legs. Nowadays I do not participate any marathon event, as I was already tired of such attention and unsolicited comments.

The last two shots were during a full course marathon. Here in my country, during any marathon event, a bunch of photographers take photos, posting thumbnails in the web page, requesting $$$ for a full-sized photo. The two photos were free.

In terms of fees for photos it's exactly the same in Sweden. I mean why would I pay $50 for a picture of myself looking half-dead during the last 10k of a marathon?

Good week dieting and cardio, bad Valentines lol. Ate far too much Chinese food.

Current Weight: 181 lbs. Down 4 lbs. from last week. Goal Weight: 140 lbs.

Current Weight: 181 lbs. Previous weight : 181 lbs. Goal Weight: 140 lbs.

Ehh, an off week after some good progress. Over caloric a few too many days and under-exercised as I worked a few extra shifts this week. Going to be back on track this weekend though. Not going to over indulge :)

Since everyone else is quoting every weekly measurement, I'll add back in the ones I had dropped:

Fri 27/Dec/2013:  174.8lbs (79.5kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 174.5lbs (79.3kg) & 175.8lbs (79.9kg)

Fri 03/Jan/2014:  172.4lbs (78.4kg) - 7 & 28-day rolling avgs: 173.8lbs (79.0kg) & 174.8lbs (79.5kg)

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

I dropped a bit over a pound this past week  :)   Hopefully I'll actually keep that up this coming week.

I notice that my 28-day average dropped over the first 2 weeks of January & has remained fairly static since.  This does seem to indicate that the daily & weekly ups & downs are just normal fluctuation, ie: the "white noise" Barbie mentioned   ::)

Quote from: barbie on February 14, 2014, 12:31:58 PM
Yes. Steady, but oscillating. We call it 'white noise'.

barbie~~

I am only a few pounds above my target, but it feels like every ounce of it is sitting in my gut, doing its damnedest to hide my belt from me (& doing that very well too :( ).

I can't say I didn't watch my weight this much before admitting to myself that I was trans; I did.  But I kept it very thoroughly hidden for years because "only girls worried about that stuff". ..... /sigh ...

Allowing myself to monitor my weight every day without feeling guilt about "not being manly enough" has been a big deal for me.  My adopted male ego is only very slowly allowing my inner self small concessions towards outward expression.  8 months on HRT, & I still can't bring myself to present as female outside the house ... & not too much inside the house either.  No need to rush things though.  Internal progress has been fairly rapid so far (for me).  I am following the auld cliche: "Easy does it.  But do it!"  Time takes time, and I am allowing myself that time while incorporating some constant progress as part of my normal background "white noise".

This week I am feeling good about myself.  Everything else is just details.

Be well,

Tessa

Yesterday, Friday night, it was a little bit chilly at -1 degree Celsius.
Nowadays I feel hungriness more frequently, and tend to gorge every meal.
Nevertheless, I am trying to decrease the intake of carbohydrates, but it is really, really difficult.
That is the physiology of our body.
Anyway, I will continue to try it. My goal is 26 inch waist. Today, it is still 27 inch.

Yup, my refrigerator door is making impossible for me to lose those 5 lb's I want to, lol! Too many reese cups, kit kat's, hershey's kisses/bars w/almonds, nestlie white and dark chocolate bars, etc., etc., etc. I hear it call me constantly. And two days ago I got some reese's pieces, m-n-m's, and one of my favorites, those mini reese cups -yum.

For me it was too much eating out, where you can't control the portions and there are more temptations. I wish there's a way to go out with people and bring my own food...

Actually there are a few places you can go out to eat and stay within your calorie regimen. Quizzno's and Subway's are my friend. Even now at Long John Silvers they have a Salmon fillet with trimmings under 300 calories. Arbys is another as long as you stay with their regular roast beef sandwiches. Of course, if it's McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's or Taco Bell or a similar place your lost. I'm a small boned thin girl too and even a 3-4 lb. gain shows and make's me feel fat. So I've gotten the eating out thing down to a science even at more classier places like Olive Garden, Red Lobster's, etc.

However I know what you mean, and you can't always choose where your friends want to eat, lol! ;)

I would echo Arcee's congratulations & concern. 

I did lose 20.4 lbs in 54 days early last year (202.6 on 20/Jan to 182.2 on 15/Mar), but then bounced a bit & it was another 16 days before my weight first dropped below 182.2.  Don't be too surprised if you experience something similar.

Great work in losing what you have so far.  Don't be discouraged if progress slows down a lot.  If you manage a drop of 1lb/week (which is about average), then you'll get to your goal by early next year.  That's pretty good, btw. 

Welcome to the thread.  Keep posting, no matter what the results.  We want to feel happy for you when your weight drops a bit, & give support when it doesn't. (Just like we do for everyone else :) )

Be well,

Tessa

Let's be honest I had/ have it to lose. I am working on 2 lb a week now for next few weeks then down to about 1lb to 1.5 lb a week. It has slowed somewhat in last 2 week's. Basically I have done 3 things:

1. No/ low carbs

2. Taken up jogging

3. Stopped drinking alcohol

I know it is no longer Friday but I have only just got access to a set of scales XD

Height = 5' 9" BMI = 24 TBF = 26% TMM = 32%

Current Goal = 140 lbs / 64 Kg

170 lbs / 77 Kg    31.01.14 2

165 lbs / 75 Kg    14.02.13

163 lbs / 74 Kg    24.02.13

I exercise for an hour on the cross-trainer every day on a pre-programmed cardio workout.
If this trend of 1kg per week continues I will hopefully have hit my goal about the time I have my first appointment with the NHS (yes I know I am being optimistic XD).

Emily, if you are weighing yourself every day, then it's probably a good idea to weigh yourself every day & keep at least a 7-day rolling average.

That is what I do.  It helps on those days when my weight goes up a little (or a lot), but I can see the rolling averages & graph are still trending downward.

I can send you a copy of my spreadsheet (with the formulae already entered & graph configured) if you like.

Posting mine early ^_^

Started from 224 Ib at a height of 5'9 five to six months ago and today I weigh 186 Ib! Dunno how, but my weight keeps dropping that body fat.  :angel:
Wow! Congratulations!

I have to do this early because there's a distinct possibility I won't be on the Internet tomorrow. I'm 5'6"

2/22 133 lbs.
2/27 131 lbs.

Yay! Walking for at least an hour a day in below freezing temperatures seems to be working, and also worrying about whether my bf can accept my history. That's a guaranteed diet plan. :)

I've always said physical activity is key to losing weight. Yes you have to watch what you eat, but if you don't balance that with physical activity your doomed. Mandolym your only an inch taller than me but you look great at 131. If I was at 131 I look fat, and feel fat. Congrat's on your progress. I'm going to get outside myself today and do things around the house I need to so I can get my physical activity in. I used to love to walk and ride my mountain bike but my left hip and lower back has put a stop to that in recent years. But I still get my activity by piddling around the house with my boat and other things.

5'9.5 266.9 today (and not a single food craving since I came out, which was previously unheard of with me. My daughter says it is the honesty that has freed me.)
from 300 the day I finally came out to myself as my honesty lead to clarity 1/21/2014,
from 305 when I started to admit I was not being honest with myself around 12/28/13.
(Nearly hit 370 until I was diagnosed type II, lost weight due to ketosis but still did not care really, but did hover in the 290 in the summer to 315 range in the winter for many years.)

Did my first official Yoga class yesterday too! Kicked my kiester!  :D

I forgot all about today being Friday. Now it's Friday evening -the worse part of the day to weigh yourself. Oh well:

Height: 5ft, 5 in.
1/10/2014 120 lb's
1/17/2014 118 lb's
1/24/2014 120 lb's
1/31/2014 121 lb's
2/07/2014 119 lb's
2/14/2014 119 lb's
2/21/2014 120 lb's.
And now Friday evening, 2/28/2014, 121 lb's. :( :( :(
Don't know if the extra lb/s. is from it being the wrong time of day or what. Oh well, I'll re-weigh myself in the morning to be sure. I sure hope I'm not going backwards. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

We'll see how far my new vegan diet and light daily cardio get me!  I'm so determined this time around.  I actually look forward to getting on that exercise bike every day.  And enjoying eating so many fruits and veggies...mmmmmm....I never would have I thought I would ever type those words. :O

I see that you don't post a whole lot, but I hope you keep posting here every Friday.  It's only been a year and half so loosing the weight shouldn't be incredibly difficult.  You've got a pretty face and I see that you've just recently restarted HRT, so knocking off the extra pounds are going to do you wonders.  I'm a bit jealous. :)

Shwheewww!! this morning (3/01/2014) 119. This just goes to show how one's weight can fluctuate one to three pounds (depending on the individual) from day to day, and why you should always weigh yourself in the morning.  :) :) ;)

Posting a little early again since I found the thread while looking for something else:

2/22 133 lbs.
2/27 131 lbs.
3/6   129 lbs.

So yeah, losing 2 lbs. a week ain't so bad. I used to be a dancer and not the anorexic kind, more the kind who can eat whatever she wanted and dance it out. This is the first time I've ever tried to control my food intake. Not really on a specific diet but just noticing when I'm actually full and not eating when I am seems to be working well. That and avoiding refined sugar.

I had dinner with my ex last night and he commented that my waist is thinner when he hugged me! That's a good weight loss confirmation right there. ;)

EDIT: I'm 5'5", 5'6" on a good day! :)

Hi all :)
I took a break for a while, but the diet is never ending lol

This is where I am.

27/12 82.7kg
1/3   82.6kg
10/1      82.9kg
17/1      82.8kg
24/1      83.0kg
31/1      83.0kg
7/2      84.1kg
14/2     83.3kg
21/2     82.8kg
28/2    82.7kg
7/3      82.6kg

Which means nowhere fast. However, HRT is putting on stuff up top and down at the bottom and my waist is getting smaller so I'm fairly happy :)

Hang in there everybody :)

I'm 5'8" and down to 138lbs again after eating poorly and hitting a plateau for the past few months. I've been drinking "bulletproof coffee" (Google it), snacking on raw peanuts I roasted myself, and lean fish/chicken/turkey for dinner. I've lost a pound a day for 4 straight days doing this, and I feel better than I've felt in a long time.  ;D

Yep.  I went and found some of that weight I lost last week, but fortunately only half of it.  Pneumonia doesn't give very long-lasting weight loss ...

The ice has finally thawed.  Time to get out the leg weights & go burn some fat.  I would love to be able to get my weekly average below 171lbs by next Friday.

... And congratulations to Joan too ... slowly overcoming my jealousy ...  :-*

Oh my gosh it's Friday again. Well, I've been sick with the worse cold and sore throat I've had in years so naturally eating was not a priority.

Height: 5ft, 5 in.
1/10/2014 120 lb's

1/24/2014 120 lb's

2/14/2014 119 lb's
2/21/2014 120 lb's
2/28/2014 121 lb's.
Today this morning 3/07/2014 119 lb's.

At least I'm staying about the same, lol! Though If I have this cold much longer I may start dropping uncontrollably. My throat's so sore it hurts to eat anything.

Forgot to post on Friday so here goes
5-7 ish .. I thought I was over 5-7 but measured the other day 5-6 1/2.. kinda weird.
Started about October at 240lbs
Friday weight 189lbs.
I can finally wear a size large shirt except the only thing not getting small is my chest :)
I have upped my cardiovascular workouts to about 2 hours a day but not all at once.
No weight lifting at all.
My shoulders are basically gone and my arms are small so all going the right direction I think?

Yup! My reallistic goal weight is around 130lbs, but I'd gladly settle for 135. I haven't hit 130 since maybe 2007. I've tried fad diets like the "lemon detox" where I only made it 4 days and only lost 1/2 pound. I'm also trying to cut red meat and pork out all together also.

Busy weekend so posting now... I'm 5'6"

2/22 133 lbs.
2/27 131 lbs.
3/6   129 lbs.
3/13 125 lbs.

Okay, that was a big drop this week. I don't think I'm being unhealthy, just being good about portions and walking to or from work (about an hour of walking a day). No refined sugar (well, except for one cookie this week) and staying away from processed foods in general.

I used to dance semi-profesionally and back then I weighed 115 lbs. but had a lot more muscle. It's kind of funny to be getting more of a waify look.

I've reached my original goal weight but am thinking maybe I can get down to my old form. I was at 140 two months ago so I've now gone down from a size 6 to a size 2-4. I used to be a size 0-2 so it would be kind of fascinating to be the same weight I was 15 years ago.

Congratulations !    :)

I know what you mean about that feeling of fascination:  I was able to comfortably fit into a pair of linen pants for a job interview that yesterday which were sufficiently tight to require a visit to the ER afterwards the last time I wore them, back in 2001.  (Sometimes, although not often, being a packrat is useful ... I don't need to buy a new wardrobe after shedding 60lbs off my 2010 weight, 30 of that last year.)

That said, my food input & output have not been good this week.  I am not looking forward to Friday ...   :embarrassed:

I'll weigh myself in the morning. However I've been sick (flu) and as a result have been eating less all week so I expect a drop of a pound or two. Another thing that leads me to believe this is my clothes are noticeably looser on me.

Yep, after much pain & some anti-biotics.  There's not much 'give' in linen, especially when tender body parts are unduly strangled.  The doctor decided she needed to take a look "from the inside"; with a camera; through the nearest available orifice; without an anaesthetic.  Yes, I did scream.  And then she said "everything's fine", gave me a script for some anti-biotics, & sent me on my way.

And this morning's weight, 3/14/2014 117 lb's. WoW girls I'm only two pounds away from my goal of 115. This however is weight loss due to my having the flu I've just gotten over so it is most likely water weight. The proof in the pudding will be next Friday's weight. ;)

I've found that moisturizers with Aloe help with wrinkles. Unfortunately al of us girls more mature face this problem, and it get's worse the thinner you get. Good luck in getting where you want to be.

170 lbs / 77 Kg    31.01.14

159 lbs / 72 Kg    Today

I haven't actually done any exercise in a week. I sort of wore my legs out after running 5.5 Miles a day without a break for 3-4 weeks.

I think my completely quitting drinking has helped. Though it's made things more awkward socially (e.g. yesterday was St Patrick's Day...)

Another busy weekend coming up so updating today. I guess this has become the Thursday rather than Friday weight for me:

2/22 133 lbs.
2/27 131 lbs.
3/6   129 lbs.
3/13 125 lbs.
3/20 126 lbs.

I knew this week was not going to be a losing week because I went out on a ton of dates last weekend and so had lots of fun but big meals with desserts and such. I hate to be one of those girls who only orders salads on dates so I indulged. I also have dates this weekend so I guess my goal for next week is maintenance rather than losing. I'm comfortable at 125 so I might just stay at this weight.

I'm 5'8" and have not yet reached 40 years old.  ;D Today I hit 137.6 lbs. I could have done better, except I had really bad intestinal problems a few days ago.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Missed last week.  After running on adrenalin for over a week through the job interviews, acceptance paperwork & tests, I crashed on Friday 14th and slept most of the time until Tuesday.  I think I may not have been fully over the pneumonia I had 3 weeks ago.

I ate very badly while going through that, and skipped many walks after hurting my foot on 7/Mar.  This week has been much better.  I managed to get back to where I was two weeks ago  :)   

I wonder how much the 28-day average will rise next Friday ?  It is being brought down by the week I had pneumonia, & those numbers drop out of the 28-day average this coming week.

I am due to start the new gig this coming Tuesday (25th).  I don't know how four 10-hour days per week is going to affect my diet & exercise.  I have been working from home for a few years.  Actually travelling to work again is going to be a big difference to my routine.  (Not to mention having to wear outdoor clothes - no more business meetings in my underthings ...)

My goal was from 67 kg (147 lbs) to 65 kg (143 lbs). Yesterday I purchased a scale, and found that I already reached the goal. Actually, I overreached it by 1 kg. My weight now is 64 kg (141 lbs), and BMI is 18.9 (normal).

Mission completed!

Whew, the broken rib has limited me to the stationary bike but luckily that is enough with improved eating habits to resume my downward trend. This is still the easy phase, so it was important for me to see some weight loss even with this light workout regime. As I heal up I hope to return to my weight lifting and yoga as well, which hopefully will continue an accelerated improvement at least until 220 if not closer to 200. Then I expect things to start to tighten up, as even in the Marines I was often 192 at my peak performance. Though I ate everything and anything back then, as I could mostly get away with it.

I weighed myself this morning but forgot to post the results. Well girls, it looks like the cold I had and my achalasia acting up was good for a few ponds loss.

Height: 5ft, 5 in.
1/10/2014 120 lb's
1/17/2014 118 lb's
1/24/2014 120 lb's
1/31/2014 121 lb's
2/07/2014 119 lb's
2/14/2014 119 lb's
2/21/2014 120 lb's
2/28/2014 121 lb's.
3/07/2014 119 lb's.
3/14/2014 117 lb's.
And this morning 3/21/2014 still 117 lb's.

It does worry me when I lose weight without actually trying to do so. Yes, my goal weight is 115, but I want to get there the right way. ;)

For mostly ten years I've been 236.
In the last year I've averaged 224.

Now that I'm starting the process as of Jan, I just weighted in last night at 216!
New personal best.

My goal is 165.  I know I can do it, because in high school I was 180.
Time to go for a bike ride!

No. A problem is that the scale is strange. When I measure in the morning, my weight is 64 kg. But at night it becomes 67 kg. Today morning I measured again, and it was 66 kg. My wife also says that the scale is not reliable.

I will continue to monitor my weight.

Ouch.  I admit I don't accept what my scales says unless it gives me the same weight twice in a row.  Apparently my weight varies slightly with my posture.  The worse I slouch, the heavier I seem to weigh. 

I do have some confidence that my cheap (digital) scales is at least consistent with itself, which would give me reasonable relative weights from one week to the next.  I also find the digital readout much easier to record than trying to figure out where exactly an analog needle is pointing.

For some reason, within the past few days, several people have commented on how much weight I have lost.  This puzzles me, since I got down to 170lbs at the end of May 2013, and have been trying (often vainly) to maintain that since.  Granted, some of my current weight is in slightly different places now ...

My sweetheart and I got in a tickle fight a few nights ago, and her reaction when she grabbed me was "you're so skinny!" -- made me feel good about my own progress, but a little sad that she's having a harder time with her own weight loss program (do cis girls have a harder time losing weight than trans girls, or is that just an urban myth?)

As far as scales go, I've found that my weight fluctuates a little through the day, so I've chosen to always weigh in at the same time and under the same circumstances (first thing in the morning, after peeing but before breakfast, buck naked). Otherwise it's too hard to know where I'm really at.

The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything. I have a digital glass scale and I too find it much easier to read. It also will weigh you in multiple values such as American Standard, metric, etc.

My biggest detriment is chocolate, and ice cream. It's also why my fridge is at the opposite end of my home, lol! :laugh: ;)

I had a rough start to the week and had my first few days of terrible eating control since I came out 1/21/2014. Grant it, I went loco on protein bars, but they are still basically like candy or bakery bars when you loose control. I had gotten down, and should have been posting and interacting with the gang just to keep my head out of a negative fog. However, I did pop out of it when I attended my first evening support group. It helped me by connecting with understanding people, and I started to come back positively since. Time to make a good solid push to 199 and to get out of these morbidly obese 200's. Hoping to pull it off by the end of summer and no later than November for my daughter's wedding. Wish me luck, and will power!  :P

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

First week of work was not kind to my waistline  :(    I averaged 174lbs (79.1kg) for Wed & Thu.

My shift changes from 1st to 3rd during this coming week, plus there will be much driving involved.  I suspect that the absence of a work cafeteria may help my waistline a little.

A good week though, otherwise.  I managed to negotiate a confrontation over money without causing lots of antagonism.  That was a big first for me.  I ended up with a new contract paying much better expenses, and with a 6.6% increase in my rate of pay.  Much better than I had hoped for - sometimes silence can be more powerful than words.  The new ADD meds seem to be working, but much credit also has to go to how much the HRT has calmed me down & improved my thinking processes  (eg: E has reduced my OCD, and depression is still awol since my 5th day of P ;D ).

Okay, a better week and I got my first yoga class in since my broken rib as well as a therapy session which was my first since starting my new job and having to switch to night appointments. So I rebounded ok, and it looks like a great week compared to last, but as far as my trend it shows the rib was a definite set back. Also, I have already tripped up today eating chocolate covered almonds withOUT control... UGH! None the less, the weather is improving, my rib is, and I think I will be rocking and rolling again the rest of this week. I would really like to find a strong push to 205 and leave the morbidly obese range by the end of May. Aggressive as it is, it is my goal and I've been making them aggressive by design as I found that it works better. I do not always make the goals, but they are more fruitful than when I try to make less aggressive ones that I succeed at but seem to settle on reaching rather than exceeding. So wish me luck. YES, it may seem unhealthy amounts of weight loss, but keep in mind, it is to exit the perhaps more unhealthy morbidly obese range. So there is an offset in the unhealthy ramifications of quick weight loss that may actually make the aggressive weight loss an actually better choice. Ok, now I am just rambled, which is time better spent cleaning the house or exercising!  :D Everyone be GREAT and SUCCESSFUL! (Remember: success is not always achieving a goal, sometimes it is just avoiding too big of a slid when things are not ideal, like a rib injury.)

My weight fared much better during my second week of work, which included 2 overnight shifts.

This next week might be interesting:  Flying to Iowa to work there.  Eating out is generally a good way to gain weight   :(    I also may not be able to go for an hour's walk every day.  Sharing a room with one of my colleagues after 10 productive months of HRT it also going to be interesting.  I am guessing it will mean sleeping in T-shirts & getting dressed in the bathroom.  The missus tells me that the "I lost lots of weight, but some stayed" line has zero chance of working on anyone who sees me topless.

QuoteAt least I hope it's in pounds and not kilograms...
It is in pounds thankfully! I did have an absurdly productive February. Just hoping to make a few more big strides to get out of the obese range, maybe not at the pace February was as I was able to lose weight simply from changing horrible life long eating habits. January was good too, for the same reason.

My eating habits are much improved still, however, I have had a few blips of carelessness since the rib. Nothing too crazy, but that is why I am kind of being blah about my "what have I done lately" weight loss. Though I am pretty pumped for putting in a really solid week this week as I am returning to some lifting and more intense cardio now that the rib is nearly a none issue and my hip flexor is only burning if I move it in just the right way too quickly. Thus the reason I am pulling for a five pound loss as this week's goal.

I do appreciate the positive vib you've given me, it's gonna help me push even more for that five pound goal!!  :) Thanks

Well it's Thursday and I'm posting early because I'm making my last entry here.  As I simply explained in another tread that I'm leaving for my own peace of mind, and that whatever I'm doing and wherever it takes me I'll be doing it as Lady Katherine. 

So I lost 4 pound this week due to heavy and hard labor working in the yard.  Building a little more of the concrete block wall.  And for an old lady that's hard work.

Well this is beyond disappointing to hear Kathy. I did not see your going away thread though I did try to look, maybe it was further back. If so I hope it keeps going further back with you staying, or maybe just taking a break from the site, or cutting back. I know I don't get to visit much lately being as busy as I am, but your weight loss thread is a Friday tradition for me (even if I post a day or two late hehe) no matter how busy I am. It is inspiring to read everyone's progress and it is my number one obstacle, and it keeps me honest through the tougher times like the stress of the new job and a broken rib slowing me down for a bit.

I never say never, so  :icon_ihearu: HEARS (oops heres) hoping you'll be posting weight loss success sooner rather than later!

Just missed the 5 pounds I was inspired to aim for, but I am happy with that for this week as I was able to string 3 consecutive weeks of weight loss together again, and about a ten pound loss in the last 30 days is decent. Now next week I am keeping things modest and hoping to loose just a couple of pounds as Easter feast could put a dent in the effort. I will try not to go over board, but I will partake in a larger than normal meal. Not like I did in the past, but larger as there will be much to enjoy (I do still enjoy food, I just don't loose control much anymore, just twice in the last four months. I have had a few larger meals, but only the two losses of control. The protein bar massacre, and the peanut butter toast fiasco! ;D)

360+  at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 305 on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

Let's see how many weeks it takes for me to forget to do this. :)

Height: 6' 3"
Goal: BMI < 25 (the "normal")

4/18/14: 253 lb, BMI =31.6


According to the CDC, I'm technically obese though I certainly don't look it.  Just a jelly roll.   :laugh:  I've been doing smaller food portions and treadmill loving, which has helped a LOT since I was in the 275's a few months ago.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Couldn't weigh myself from Mon-Fri, so I had to interpolate those weights.  Given what I weighted this morning, it appears that travelling is not affecting my weight too much one way or another. 

Keeping my room-mate from seeing my torso was simpler than I expected.  In fact, the only reason I noticed I didn't see his torso at all was because I was so conscious of my own efforts.

So far, so good.  Although, my bust measurement has increased by a full inch this past month.  This makes me wonder how much longer before I start to experience "male-fail".  I am so not prepared to have to face that just yet.

Friday, returned home from a 4day trip, feeling sad (the other thread)..  Unpacked, stripped..

5' 10" 158lbs. Added almost 6lbs in 4days. =(

Only saving grace, was after I awoke this morning, and .. um.. a trip down the hall, I only gained 3lbs..  maybe another cup of coffee, and a bottle of water..  End of the day, 154, I can live with that.

I may have missed someone's reply, but is there anyone who is trying to get their weight up? Websites give me a bmi of 19.8 at 146 lbs; 6 ;bs higher than a few months ago. But it's rare for me to see others trying to move away from being underweight. I'm sorry if this offends anyone here.

Hi Avery.  Welcome   :)

I don't think you missed any posts.  None of us who have been posting thus far are trying to gain weight.

I, for one, would very much appreciate you joining us.  It will be a most helpful reminder that striving for balance is a better goal than aiming for either extreme.

Thank you for your post.  I hope to see you here again   :)

I must agree with Tessa, so welcome to the thread of "Friday Weight" and if I can pull off the miracle I am striving for (and praying for) I will eventually get to a point where I want to gain weight back. Carefully of course, as I begin hormones and attempt to aide my body to gain the curves I feel I am missing. It is based on hope less than science, and numerous things I have read, weighed, and balanced. I have real doubt I will have a struggle ever gaining, but certainly understand the need to root for those needing to gain like I currently need to lose. SO post away joining this party of metrics.  :P

Wow, I dodged the Easter Bunny backslide! I will take that half pound loss and run, well maybe jog... OK! OK! Walk briskly with it.  ;D On Tuesday I was up TEN pounds from letting my hare, I mean hair down, or more realistically my guard. I got WAY too loosey goosey though I did say I was going to. I was feeling like real crap on Monday and was up seven pounds. I was feeling way better Tuesday, but tacked on 3 more pounds as all the residual calories were still dispatching to familiar lands of fat farms (little silos all over my body, but primarily in the fertile equator area known as the belt line.)

How I lost it and then an extra half pound is border line awesome, as I really did not change my pattern at all. I just returned to my normal eating habits I have developed and continued my exercise which really is basically walking, some minor weights, a day of yoga, and then I mix in a stretching routine and an occasional aerobic activity like a stationary bike ride or lame step work out, I really do stink at stepping hehe.

Now all that being said, I really want to make a strong push to 200 over the spring and summer months and a great start this week would be huge in boosting my momentum. So my aim is 239.9 to break into the 230's for possibly the first time since my early 30's if not 30! I know I have a LONG ways to go yet, but keeping the chin up and OH MY GOD I NEARLY FORGOT!!! I bought and fit into 40' waist slacks! I told the clerk I was hoping to fit into them in a week or two and got home and they FIT! Tight? Well sure as heck! But we are talking closing in on a sub-40 inch waist and for me this is well over a decade. I am going to have to bust out some old clothes I know I have saved. Maybe take some pics to record the event. If the styles are not too "BLAH male" I may reveal an era known as pre-millenium!  ::)

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

No walking for me during the work week; for now.  10-hour work days plus 4 hours of travel time will do that.  I suspect the lack of exercise is not sending my weight up because my sleep & feeding patterns are upended at the moment.  Looking forward to less travel time this week.

Right now I am mostly happy that my weight seems static, with a slight downward trend.

Well girls, I myself see a lot of progress this week (with the exception of myself, lol!) Toni you've done absolutely fabulous. I've no doubt you'll be into your goal range soon, maybe even next week if your progress continues.
Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: justjournalhonestly on April 27, 2014, 12:21:53 AM
Thanks Allyda, but that is next week's goal.  :D

My ultimate goal is 155, which is truly aggressive and maybe a stretch, but it is what I set my aims for when I started. That would drop me in the mid range weight for a male my height, on the larger edge of a female my height but within healthy range still too. I am hoping to be there before spring next year and then I would like to start HRT. If all goes as planned I would have some laser and/or electrolysis started by then with an ok length androgynous hair style I hope. (I have at least one more haircut for my daughter's wedding, maybe two but I plan to keep them collar length trimmings, no more buzz cuts.)

Whoops, late night babble fest, sorry.  :P

With the progress you've already made I've no doubt you'll reach your goals and more. :icon_flower: It's hard to imagine for those that know me, but I once went up to 144 lb's while in hospital recovering from my 91 accident. And, at 5-5 with my tiny slight bone structure I looked puffy all over -terrible!! :icon_yikes: I actually had to leave that hospital AMA because they were demanding I eat portions way too large for me. It took me a year to get back into the 120's. I tell you & everyone this so you'll know that, even though I'm thin now, I do know what it's like to have to lose weight.

I tried to stay away from Susans... Worst 3 days of my life ;)   I felt more alone because my family wouldn't talk to me.. And agreeing to go back to.. what I was before, I tried to eat more, to be more like.. well..   Just stepped on the scale here.. 155.6, so no gain, no loss.. A few ounces maybe.. At 5' 10", I'm stuck in that same 3-5lb range..  I could prob do some damage with a few 1/4lbers and some
Dunkin or KrispyKremes but not this week..

So I need somewhere to post this. I started my Weightloss journey in Jan of 2014 after ballooning up to 306 pounds after taking prednisone(horrible medication btw.) So I discovered Keto dieting or Low Carb eating. Please dont hate but i eat for breakfast 4 eggs 4 bacon. For Lunch i usually have a Bullet proof coffee, And for Dinner i have an 8 oz steak with green beans. I am down to 280 now and still losing depending on if I get to exercise or not. The great thing is that I dont even crave the sugar anymore. Its not for everyone but it works for me and I hope to stay on this for a year and see what happens.

You'll get there it takes time and for me tons of commitment. Try to eat well and light excercise every other day. It's hard sometimes especially when my gym is in the basement to get my ass motivated but I have too. Best of luck to you!

Well I'll join in this too. It might help motivate me some more.

90kg/198lbs Day 1 of Tblockers (6mths ago)
72.5kgs/159.8lbs 03/05/2014

Goal 65kg/143lbs

My Goal may change depends on what HRT can do for my face as I tend to start to look 'gaunt' if I get down to low. I'm hoping it reduces that a little, time will tell I guess.  I'm 178cm(5'10/11) in height.

I'm on board! I've lost 15 lbs so far this year, and close to 40 over the past 5-6 years but I'm stuck. I've reset everything, so here goes:

05/02/14 - 244.0

My transition date at work is August 4th and my goal is to shed 20 lbs by then. That's appx. 1.5 lbs/week.

I'm the same way. If I didn't drink 2 16 ounce Nestlie flavored milks (700 calories) for breakfast I lose weight uncontrollably. Though I still have just a few pounds to lose, I'd rather lose it slow and healthy.

Nice to see some new adds to the thread! Glad to see the positive movements for so many. JaneNicole is kicking butt! Kyra you are a total inspiration for me. Those of you having a rough go of it gaining weight, I never have known that problem but you have my support! Now on to my rant for the week...
Missed my goal for the week, and realized I started to set weekly goals which in the beginning I told myself to AVOID!!! So I am scrapping weekly goals and getting back to just focusing on healthier living first and foremost, which I have been really successful at. Even when the weight loss is minimal, I have done well and really noticed the loss slowed when I began to focus too much on weekly goals (I will still weigh in weekly, always have, but not focus on a number.) I have noticed greatly improved flexibility, and now seeing some strength gains even though I am not trying for any (unlike when I used to lift back in the day) and suspect that is making the weight loss slow some but for the right reasons. Also, I may be a tad too restrictive on calories and that comes from the weekly goal thing. MY BIGGEST OBSTACLE IS MY SLEEP, and I just noticed that this week too, so I am going to have to let things slip for sleep. I need to make a better effort to get eight hours of sleep rather than five. Also, getting to bed closer to nine rather than midnight. All in all glad I lost almost a pound.

My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

I'm glad to see your still posting here Toni, I'm happy to be a inspiration. :)

If it helps at all I lose about 3 to five pounds a month. I run/walk twenty mins a day off and on in a week. While at work I only eat a couple oranges or a banna a day. Though I only hold back on a good egg toast bacon breakfast (or a toasted blue berry bagel with butter) now and then. I have a slow metabolism so I stack on fat easy and because of this I don't eat after work until breakfast the next day, just water. Though on my Sunday off work I enjoy good food.

I've also been waist cincher training for a year and it helps to burn allot of fat. So yeah switch diet to fruits and vegetables and learn to like a empty stomach. You'll lose a ton of weight in a slow healthy way. :)
Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: justjournalhonestly on May 04, 2014, 12:14:33 AM
I have been doing basically what you described since January, and then the weight fell off because I was simply SO out of shape. But it has been kind of steady at a pound a week for a while now, and that includes a few oops days. What is waist cincher training? I better google that one! Probably a bit more than I am ready for yet, I have the walk at lunch, some stationary bike sessions here in there at night watching a tv show or two, minor weight lifting to tone a few nights a week, and then yoga wednesdays. All pretty basic stuff, though I have added a few step days here and there, and attempted a hula hoop workout that was laughable (I nearly broke my shin bones if that gives you a hint of how laughable it was) so I suspect waist cinching may induce a hernia! :P However, in a couple of months I may be at that stage. By the way, it is working for you totally as you (as Billy Crystal would say) "Look marvelous baby!"  :D Keep up the good work and the inspiration, you help us all!!!

Care if I join?  This is a wonderful idea. 5'6" tall and 180 on the nose.  I have been in that range since highschool.  I am down 19 lbs since Feb when I left my old job.  The quality of my health has gone way up though and I was getting really worried about that.
I do not exercise nearly as much as I should or would like too, but I do have a extremely active lifestyle and work life.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Last time I went on night-shift (2011), my weight loss stopped & reversed a bit.  This time I am still managing to lose a little bit.  Although my level of exhaustion seems to be about the same - hence posting my "Friday weight" on Sunday.

This week, my Friday weight was the highest in 4 weeks, but my highest weight was on Friday, whereas on the 3 previous weeks my lowest weight was on Friday.  The weekly average is heading in the right direction.  This is the lowest it has been since Sep 2013.

Pain due to nerve damage from a biopsy last November is making my daily walks very hard to finish.  I hope the docs can do something about that.  The pain now is much worse than anything I experienced before my fairly minor surgery.

Two years after having both my hips replaced and the long road back to a 100%. I finally have the body back I had before. Strong core little ab action going on....awesome!!! We'll :( after a doctors appointment on Monday my 1st replacement might be failing, I will know more in 3 weeks but I'm so f'n nervous right now. If I need another surgery I could be down for 3 to 6 months (crying) all the hard work I've done will have gone to ->-bleeped-<-. Waiting on a blood test to see what kind of metal is in my system. Fml . Pre surgery 2012 I weighed 175 today 146.3 lbs

Thanks Toni  :)

Not much relief yet, although working >40 hours in 3 days might have a little to do with that.  One more day until the weekend!  (I love having a 4-day week.)

Much as I love the effects I am getting from Prometrium (ie: zero depression), it does seem to be making be full of poop (physically - it is a given that the metaphorical sense applies).  I am not feeling hopeful about tomorrow's numbers.

I am glad to see some people joining the thread, sad to see some leave, & grateful for those who keep posting.  Since getting the new job a few weeks ago, this thread is often my only visit to Susan's each week.  Thank you all for helping me by being here.

Sadly I am in the same boat, since starting my new job this thread is about all I post to outside of an occasional welcome to a new member when I take a few extra minutes to say hi to a new member here and there. Which is why I love the gals who are able to stay on top of that, it is a huge effort that I know for me made take the time to get started here. When things slow down and hopefully before I move to the next stage of my transition, I hope to get around the site more. Till then, posting my weights to keep me honest trying to move in the right direction. Birthday weekend took it's toll, so I too may not show improvement tomorrow as I am .2 over and just ate a personal watermelon! LOL My Fitness Pal claims it is less than 400 calories, but my stomach is saying "WHATEVER YOU DUMB BEYOTCH!!!" :o

My stomach is AWFUL, and that is literal as well and metaphorically, hehe.  ;)

Myka, you are in my prayers, as I know hip problems just not on your scale. I have had issues with my right one since a racquetball injury over a decade ago. It's enough at times to slow me down, so I can imagine how terrible it must be to have surgery on them. Hoping it is something that a non-surgical option can remedy. No matter, get well soon and you've proven tough already so you can make it.

I know the feeling. A lot of my friends think I'm too skinny now, and crazy to want to lose that last 5 lb's. What they don't understand though is I know my body and what weight range it feels best in. And that's 110 to 115 lb's. At 5 ft. 5 in. tall I was 118 last week. I haven't weighed yet this morning but I will in a few hours when I get up, and hope I'm on my way back down.

I'm the woman who started this thread in a roundabout way. I weighed 162 in May of last year, but lost my motivation and/or discipline to diet, and I gained 20 lbs. Around Christmas I begged you ladies for some help in trying to lose weight because I was feeling very fat and unappealing. Well, I'm three lbs. heavier, 185.5, so I'm going to do the Friday weight thing for real now. I'm sick of being too heavy for my clothes and my positive self image. Hugs, Mira

Birthday week, so I am okay with a 0.8 pound gain. A long ways to go yet, but the trend is still reasonably positive, and I actually think the belt notch continued to decline. That or I am simply getting stronger and stretching that darn belt out!!!  ;)

360+  at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 300 on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.
**I am 5'9**

mini update: Yes the waist still went down, woot! I tried on a pair of 36 waist jeans which were too tight to wear for practical reasons, but it was unbelievable just a few months ago that I would even be able to do such a thing. Chucking the 46 waist pants I tie on with a rope LOL, still need to suffer the 44's as I only have two 40's but I do have to dig out some more old clothes as I think I have a few in the basement from the 90's.  :o

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Oops.  I gained a pound.  My 7-day average rose 18oz in 3 days during the week, before dropping a small bit on Friday.

Worked 57 hours this week over 4 days, with 7-8 hours of drive time as well.  Eating a lot allows me to keep working without falling down, but it is adding a few pounds on the days I indulge.  The Prometrium is also making me full of poop, requiring me to take something to counter that more often than I would like.  As I write, I realise that there has also been a distinct lack of porridge in my life this week.  That is probably not helping either.

For now I need to concentrate much more on work than anything else.  Even with 4 straight weeks of overtime, the finances still have quite a way to go before being OK.  At least there is a little light at the end of the tunnel.  (Which may be the oncoming train of unintentional disclosure ... I'm not sure how my colleagues can't see that something is up.)

I'll still be here every week.  And I'll still hope to at least not have gained any weight.

Two years after having both my hips replaced and the long road back to a 100%. I finally have the body back I had before. Strong core little ab action going on....awesome!!! We'll :( after a doctors appointment on Monday my 1st replacement might be failing, I will know more in 3 weeks but I'm so f'n nervous right now. If I need another surgery I could be down for 3 to 6 months (crying) all the hard work I've done will have gone to ->-bleeped-<-. Waiting on a blood test to see what kind of metal is in my system. Fml . Pre surgery 2012 I weighed 175 today 146.3 lbs

Well I got the call tonight from my doctor great guy by the way.  :'( I will need a full hip replacement on my left leg. Thought the results wouldn't be in for 3 weeks but sooner the better I guess. The chromium level is 7 times higher the the highest limit and rising. Sorry you guys shouldn't have hear my problems but I need somewhere to vent.

Sorry to hear this MyKa  :(    I hope your recovery is shorter rather than longer.

And you may vent away here.  No-one will think any less of you for doing so; quite the opposite.

Keep visiting.  Even when you don't feel like it - maybe more so then.  We may not always comment on your thoughts, but we do listen   :)

MyKa, no worries, hon.. vent away.. that's why we're here, to vent and be vented upon ;)  I hope you are not in any pain, and pray you will be whole again soon.


My weigh in.. just now.. eh.. in stasis I guess.. static.. little change.. 

155.2, t shirt and pantties, and.. um.. "empty".. so close to true weight.

155lbs, 5' 10", 22% BMI if you follow that sort of thing..

5-6 lbs lower is my goal. 150lb target.  But unless someone installs a gym in my house, its not likely to happen.  I guess just more water.. a little less eating.. or just smaller amounts, but when you spend 4days/week on the road, there isn't much choice.

Sorry to hear Myka, but yes we are here to hear, and provide support. Hopefully you can keep from eating meaningless calories and focus on what is needed for the surgery and recovery process. The less weight on the hip I am sure the better. Lots of positive posts this Friday though, great to see such success. I even got back in on the mix with a solid week for the first time in a while. Best week I have had in over a month so I will take it!  >:-)

Hi Toni, and the rest of you girls here in Friday Weight.  I'm not gone, but I'm also not visiting much, or posting.  I didn't mean to leave abruptly, but life changes and so did I.  Happiness and hope are tied in all of us, and one day last month that knot just happened to hold me tight while the rope pulled me forward.  (I know this sounds like unabashed mush, but I'll continue anyway.)

Two years ago I was probably one of the most messed up girls on Susan's, and I saw no solution for achieving a comfortable life.  But here I am .... happy.  And since I'm not extraordinary this has got to be really damn common. 

Yeah, I've moved on, but I'll look back once in a while and call out for you to follow along.  Don't know why I was worried about the future, because now that I'm here there really wasn't anything to fear.   

Anyway, I'll just say goodbye for now, and we'll talk later. 

Take care girls. 

Oh yes 200 lbs this AM.  Not good and not bad, but tomorrow was made especially for me to work on this weight thing again.

Peace. K

Thanks Toni. I'm still chasing the magical 110-113 which, with my thin bone structure is where I feel the best. I look OK where I'm at yes, and all my friends say I'm too skinny now and they're constantly offering me food, lol! I just know my body and where it feels the best at. My Doc's say I'm healthy and I eat six times per day. I just gotta watch the snacks and my chocolate, yum, Got a refrigerator door full of it, lol!

GP recommended something (ie: a mild "stool-softener") to counter the poop effects of the Prometrium, and it is working.  So now I am back to where I was a couple of weeks ago, & with a little progress   :)    Right now my 28-day average is at its lowest since early September 2013, and my 7-day is at its lowest since mid-August 2013.  Nothing dramatic happened.  My 28-day average has been falling fairly steadily by an average of 1oz every 3 days ( = 200g per 3 weeks ≈ 1lb per 7 weeks) since mid-Jan.  It has just taken this long at that rate to get to where I was back when my weight went up after stopping spiro for 5 weeks last year.

I am concentrating more on making sure I eat enough food to get through each work day rather than trying to lose weight, so that makes me really happy with this week's weight loss.

In other news:  I had no problem wandering through 4 stores in Philly looking for tight camisoles/sleeveless shirts.  Took me that many to find something.  Bear in mind that I am still presenting as male all the time.  Only one sales girl seemed off-put by my trans* admission (gosh, I wonder why I only asked girls ... /ahem).  Once again, this week I get to see if I can navigate sharing a room on another work trip without my room-mate seeing my torso.  Sooner or later they're likely to figure something out.  I'm surprised they haven't already.

My sponsor seemed to think that sharing about beng trans* when I speak for my NA anniversary in June wouldn't be that big a deal.  I may do so.  I don't like hiding something this important in my life when I am meant to be sharing honestly.  I seem to have become OK with just being trans*.  Not enirely male & far from female, just trans*.  It feels odd to be OK with this.

Tessa, I am not so sure this should seem odd.
QuoteI seem to have become OK with just being trans*.  Not entirely male & far from female, just trans*.  It feels odd to be OK with this.

I am far from being ready to start anything outside of my weight loss, as I have a daughter's wedding I need to be good old dad in, and I am fine with that. I know some of my transsexual friends from group think I am letting other's dictate my decisions, but these were plans I made in the beginning. Does it cause me anxiety/stress from time to time? Sure, but so would doing other things right now such as hair removal or hormones. I do think that from time to time we get pushed in both directions, "to be or not to be" transitioning really does not make us transsexual. One could obviously point out that to not be transitioning leave questions about us, but I seem to see plenty of transsexuals transitioning that seem to be getting questioned about that from other transsexuals.

Sometimes I think we are our own communities worst supporters when we doubt folks for doing whatever it is they are doing to cope with this very real and life long issue.

I just need to stand up and say it is okay for you to be "just trans" and I do not want you to feel odd for that. We all tend to feel odd enough until we realize we are already, no sense it feeling odd after we realizing it! LOL I am okay with me being diagnosed as transsexual and though feeling like I should bolt out of the starting gates, I am glad that I am not for my reasons. I am equally proud of my friends who did bolt out of the starting gate, knowing what they needed and time wasn't part of their needs. I get that too, I guess I am way too wishy washy that I can see all these ways are perfectly reasonable and something I am fine with.

I know I have gotten WEIGH off the WAY-tuh subject of this thread, but Tessa, I love you for stating that you are "just Trans" as isn't that just plain honesty at it's best? Let me share some about me. I am fat, afraid to share my picture, I am transsexual but still afraid of transition, still afraid I may be wrong even as I feel I finally am so certain, I feel no matter what I do someone will disagree with me, and I feel that is okay. Now, keep shaking that ass, and the pounds will stay away, and and you will be the loveliest "just trans" five foot eleven person named TessaMarie that I know who keeps an awesome rolling average of her weight and also shops for cami's as a male looking "just trans" person.  :laugh:

I needed two good back to back weeks as going into Memorial Day weekend I already ate like a fool when I went out to dinner this evening. I have a BBQ event to attend Sunday and then a trip to Chicago so I suspect two weeks of weight gain. I just hope to keep it out of disaster zone territory which would be a total slide to 244.7. If I can keep it in the 230's I will consider it a success, so please wish me luck. I do plan on staying active so I hope it balances it all out, and if that happens it would be a major plus staying 235.8 until June 6th. June 6th to July fourth will be another good push for good weeks like the last two. My plan is well ahead of schedule being nearly to my halfway point in just over four months, I just don't want to rest on my laurels. If I could be under 200 by my daughter's wedding I will be elated and it now seems doable, where originally I was hoping 225ish was where I would be at. Barring major setbacks I am liking my chances. Now to find away to burn off tonight's excessive dinner. UGH! :P

My scale actually will weigh me in metric's. Next friday I'll post both in pounds and kg's, or g's, as I realize we're a worldwide family and posting only in lb's might be inconvenient for our non-US members.

Reminds me in school in the EIGHTIES that we were talking about the impending metric conversion. Then something like it is too expensive to do came along... I guess I kind of understand that, but it seriously is over due. Metric is simply too straight forward and flexible, makes sense, and is mathematically workable to the degree it would be well worth the "claimed" expense of converting. Hmmm, I wonder why so many here have a hard time with sex conversions after thinking about this.

Metric, it IS! I am with Ally and to usher in the occasion I must re-post the following;

Another week of very little change.  I am mostly glad that my weight hasn't restarted rising again.  Tue & Wed were very long days at work (14 & 18 hours) with nowt eaten but chocolate & twizzlers.  So much for making sure I eat enough food every day ... /sigh

I have decided that I will be including the trans* part of my story when I speak at my homegroup in a couple of weeks for my NA anniversary.  It feels too wrong to be hiding something so important to me at the one place where absolute honesty has brought such powerful positive change to my life.  I don't care if some people (or even most people) don't like what I say.  I am trans*.  I am not going back to where I was.  I may never go further than I am.  But the person I am now is already so much different to the person I was early last year.  Physically, there is little to no chance of me passing as female.  But that doesn't matter any more.  I am very much more comfortable within myself just being.  How others perceive me is secondary to that.

I don't know about coming out at work.  That is a different environment.  The company I work for & the client company are both very LGBT-friendly.  So I may decide to out myself sooner rather than later.  I really do have to tell my parents very, very soon.  Now that's a conversation that I am terrified of.

Toni:  Thank you for your reply to my post last week.  Really.  Your words made me feel great.  I feel I should respond, so:

Quote from: Toni on May 19, 2014, 12:22:48 AMTessa, I am not so sure this should seem odd.

I know some of my transsexual friends from group think I am letting other's dictate my decisions, but these were plans I made in the beginning. Does it cause me anxiety/stress from time to time?

Sometimes I think we are our own communities worst supporters when we doubt folks for doing whatever it is they are doing to cope with this very real and life long issue.

I am M-towards-F.  The clear implication is that while I have started my journey, there may never be a destination.  I have met some who seem to find this attitude more than just a little odd, generally those who maintain that transition is from Gender A ALL THE WAY TO Gender B.  Some have also doubted whether or not I am trans* because I am not rushing to abandon my birth gender.  Accepting who I am has been hard.  I am not about to give that away by trying to conform to someone else's idea of whom I should become & how I should get there.  It seems odd to me that anyone would seek to impose their beliefs upon we who have started our journey by shaking off an entire lifetime of attempting to live up to other's expectations of whom we should be.

Quote from: Toni on May 19, 2014, 12:22:48 AMI just need to stand up and say it is okay for you to be "just trans" and I do not want you to feel odd for that. We all tend to feel odd enough until we realize we are already, no sense it feeling odd after we realizing it!    LOL   

Thank you, Toni   :)    It does still feel odd, but also very, very freeing.  Accepting that I can legitimately claim to be trans* while still presenting as my birth gender has been difficult to get my head around.  I am OK with presenting as male and using a male name & male pronouns.  That does not negate the fact that I am trans*.  I am comfortable being in this middle ground, neither one or the other.  I am odd, and that is OK.  I actually teared up a little at work when I told them that the "Rainman" nickname they gave me was the first time I had ever been given a nickname that wasn't intended to hurt.

Quote from: Toni on May 19, 2014, 12:22:48 AMI guess I am way too empathetic that I can see all these ways are perfectly reasonable and something I am fine with.

TY for that compliment   :icon_redface:    and for making me laugh last weekend   :)

Quote from: Toni on May 19, 2014, 12:22:48 AMLet me share some about me. I am fat, afraid to share my picture, I am transsexual but still afraid of transition, still afraid I may be wrong even as I feel I finally am so certain, I feel no matter what I do someone will disagree with me, and I feel that is okay.

I still haven't shared my picture here (although the folks at TGChatRoom have seen what I look like), and probably won't for a while, if ever.  Extra weight has been a big deal for me too.  My maximum (in 2010) was about where you are now.  I am no longer 233lbs, and that does feel great.  I am thankful that accepting the existence of my gender dysphoria has allowed me to take care of my physical body.  I am not watching my weight carefully to achieve some ideal  -  I am doing so to stay healthy. 

Transition is big.  If it doesn't scare you, then you haven't yet figured out how much it involves.  And yet we go through with it.  Why? ... For me it was because the pain of not transitioning became much greater than my fear of such tremendous change.  And even then, I still sought other means of dealing with being trans* for more than 3 months after not dealing with it brought me to the ER. 

Now, about a year on HRT, I am very glad to be where I am now.  My depression is still completely gone (TY Prometrium); my obsession with & compulsion about being &/or presenting female has also gone (TY Estrogen) - the desire remains, but the O-C behaviour is gone; and I no longer have to go through the physical & emotional discomfort of multiple daily involuntary erections (TY Finasteride & Spironolactone).

Quote from: MikaylaGC on May 24, 2014, 12:51:21 AM70kg(154.32lbs) down 1.5kg(3.3lbs)

Prepare for a date, that worked for me lol. Still 5-6kg to go for me. And for the love of god when are you americans gonna use metric? :P 

I grew up with both, but emigrated just before Ireland fully abandoned Imperial measurements.  I find it a little ironic that the only country still using England's "Imperial Measurements" is the first country to successfully rebel against being an English colony.

it's really difficult to eat right when I'm out on trips..  I am at the mercy of food courts in the terminals, if I even have time to grab something.. and the hotel this morning.. ugh, went down for breakfast, and it's the standard lame buffet..  eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, potatoes, rolls, pastries,  and the -only thing- even remotely healthy is the juice, but that has lots of sugar... no fruit, no oatmeal, nothing low fat, diet-anything.  Told the front desk girl while I was checking out.. she agreed.. she would pass it on the the manager..  eh, like anything would happen  :/

So my weight will remain, abt 156lbs, and go up or down a couple pounds.. as long as i can stay below 160, I can deal with that.

I work 02:00-12:00, so I miss the hotel breakfasts when away.  I get around that by always having some porridge oats (ie: oatmeal in American) with me in a ziploc bag or tupperware container (and another with sugar, because I do need some sweetening).  Every hotel room I have been in recently has had a microwave & a fridge, so I only need to get some milk on my way to the hotel from the airport and I can make porridge for myself.  ... assuming I remember to eat at all ...

I admit I do also carry a small kettle & some Barry's tea.  I don't like being without my tea (or my porridge).  Without them I do not counter the stool-hardening effects of the Prometrium very well.

I should probably create a new topic for this post, but since this thread is the only place I have been posting on Susan's recently, here seems more appropriate.

Before I left work today, I told my supervisor & my manager that I am transgender.  Neither seemed to think it was a big deal.  Supervisor is going to continue to use male name & pronouns (as I requested).  Manager decided that I will not be sharing a room with a colleague for next week's business trip, & will try to see to it that all 6 of us get our own rooms so that I am not seen to be a 'special case'.

I feel it went well.  Time will tell.  I will update in a few weeks.

Bye for now,

Tessa

Okay, what a great time to transition over to including metric measurements, as this week's pound and a half gain sounds less traumatic than a 0.6 kilogram gain. Though they are just the same... First half of my spring fling is over, hoping to keep it similar next week and maybe even get back to 235.8 as this half of the fling will not contain any 8 hour picnic events with many varieties of fruit salad around family (which I think stresses me into eating, with me already notching in advance on my belt the food I will eat. A friend at work asked why I do that which I knew was part stress but she is right. I need to find a better mechanism in dealing with that than eating like the male monster me.)

That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

160.4 today, up 5lbs from last week.  Prob half of that from last nights Sizzler buffet, but most of it was salad.. A couple wings, cup of chowder, and a BBQ sammich.  Going out on a 4day trip today, I can only hope I'm able to do better. =(

A few impressive posts there, but gotta MEGA HUG GRATS ALLY! I must believe the DMV did not mess up like I did eating these last two weekends. BUT, I survived Chicago, Due's and Oberweis! I may have done Oberweis twice... Mayyyyyyybe. Not saying I did, because I never had it my previous visits and I think two visits may have just been one really long visit broken up by a day. Just not sure.

Now if the DMV did something that bad, please let us know when and where so we can help complain! Send your Oberweis complaints on my behalf to "To whom it may COWcern."

Thank you, and love you all!

This is off topic I know, but to clarify, I was going to the DMV Friday afternoon letter from my Endo in hand to have my Gender changed on my driver's license to female. However, when I called the DMV prior to getting my letter from my Endo, they didn't tell me my letter needed his medical license number, issuing state, and his DEA number on it. Soooooooooo, now this Tuesday I have to drive all the way down to my Endo's office (my next appointment isn't til next month) to have my letter corrected to include this information, then hopefully get back before 5 pm when the DMV closes. If not, I'll have to go back to the DMV on Wednesday to get my gender changed. I may just go on Wednesday anyway so I'm not in a rush with my makeup on Tuesday. In any case, it's just a little setback that's all. My gender will get changed on Wednesday. But, had the DMV given me the correct information in the first place, I'd already have had this done. So the DMV did mess up -a little, lol!!

My other option to save the $45. in gas is to send my Endo this information through his web portal, and have him mail the corrected letter back to me.

That is awesome and inspirational news April (btw my mom always loved that name) also Fila is kicking it in high gear!
I dodged a bullet with my two weeks of weekend fun, but got back on track pretty much immediately upon my return from Chicago and actually came in down 1.4 pounds for a two week stretch I was worried about sliding too much. Very exciting, and means I should be poised for a good stretch of weeks going into the July 4th weekend that luckily falls on a weekend and should limit the damage to a party or two. Again, just focusing on keeping a healthy lifestyle now that I just seem so excited to do for the first time ever really. If I keep reading these great updates I have a chance, and even the ones when we stumble help remind me, stumbles happen. We just gotta keep cheering each other on!
Any DMV updates??? I think someone may have party news incoming!!! Got my fingers crossed. :icon_yes:

Well a little movement in the right direction this week, I'm running out of fat above my hips and I'm looking really slim but I've been at the hospital this week and tried out one of those body fat calculation units...  aaaaaand 16%??? That's only in the 'acceptable' range! lol, might be my jiggly girl butt lol (even with me being pre hrt for some reason) . My upper body seems to be staring to atrophy too which is great :) but I still have a bit of bulk in my legs from cycling a lot last year though.

So I'm 6'0" ish unfortunately

05/23/14  -  186 lb  (84.4 kg)   
06/01/14  -  172 lb  (78.1 kg)...............hip: 36"    waist: 29.5"      under'bust': 35"
06/06/14  -  169 lb  (76.8 kg)...............hip: 36"    waist: 29.0"      under'bust': 35"


my goal weight is approx. 65 kg (143 lb).

And in other news, I had my first therapist appointment yesterday :) It went so well!! I have another this Tuesday, I may be on HRT quite soon by the sound of things :) I also had my first facial laser appointment last week, and my home body IPL is coming along nicely.

So keep up the great progress ladies :) And a big thanks again to this site and everyone who makes it so great and supportive, it really has given me so much more confidence about this process, its so good to know I'm not the only one :) ox

Oops.  I missed a week.  Apologies for my absence.

Work became intense this past week, over 70 hours, more than 50 of them in a three-day span (+lunches, +travel).  I missed checking in here last week because I was getting ready for what I knew was going to be a busy week.

And so I missed posting that my weekly average weight had dipped below my target of 170lbs.  And now it's back over 171 again.  /sigh

This past week has been a really good week.  There is no change in how I am interacting with my supervisor, my manager, or my colleague after telling them that I am trans*.  A conversation with a manager from the client company ended up with me telling him that I am trans*, him being OK with that, & a continued good work relationship as if nothing had been said.

I also admitted being trans* for the first time in a (semi-)public setting.  I came out as an immigrant, transgender atheist, at an NA meeting in Texas.  I still got over a dozen hugs at the end of the meeting, & one during.

I am the main speaker at my home group this evening for my anniversary.  I intend admitting being trans* there.  This is scarier than Texas - all the people here know me - & I will have to see them all next week, & the week after, & ...)

I really, really, really do need to tell my parents ...

Parents told.

Reaction is mostly gratitude that I have found a way of improving my mental & emotional heatlh, especially no more depression.

They have been observing a marked improvement in my behaviour over the past several months (some since starting Estrodial, a lot since I started Prometrium), and are OK with what I have had to do to get to where I am now because the improvement in me is so obvious.

It is still a bit of a shock to them.  Their first question was to ask my wife if she was OK with this.  They seemed very relieved when she said she was.

Not nearly as much of a hurdle as I thought it was going to be.    :)

I started this thread in a roundabout way, begging for help on losing weight. The first week, on 12/27/2013, I was freaking out because when I'd first started on HRT I weighed 226 lbs. and within a year I'd lost 61 lbs., weighing in at 165 lbs. I couldn't really lose more than a few more lbs. and was stuck between 162-165 till my brother had a liver transplant and was dying. I drove down to see him four times a week and from nerves I got down to 159 lbs in June 2013. Then, after he passed away my weight slowly crept up and I watched my motivation, eating habits and discipline die by the wayside and by December 27th I weighed 182.4. I thought I was on my way, but NOOOOOO!!!! I got down to 192 lbs. and scared to death I was going to reach my former weight or worse. Somehow, (I'm not sure yet how, lol!) I began to lose a little weight. Now it's beginning to fall off and yesterday I weighed 178.8!!!! So I'm back on the Friday Weight thread. Hugs, for luck! Mira
     12/27/2013..........182.4 lbs.
     05/2/2014?..........192.0  lbs.   
     06/07/2014..........178.8 lbs.

     I'm   5'-09"

Welcome back Mira! This thread has become sort of a ritual for some of us. I've only got a few more pounds to go but they've been stubborn and I've plateaued.

Anyway, here's a hug for luck back to ya! :icon_hug:

Welcome back, Miranda  :)

As Ally said, there are a few of us who have made this thread a home of sorts.

I have been keeping a daily record of my weight since January 2013.  I do like that I can post the results here without fear of what might be said.

Thanks Kat  :)

Aye.  They do.  I guess I will find out more as I talk with them over the next few days &/or weeks.  But the discussion has definitely started off on the right footing.

I admit that I did make sure to wait until after I not only had a job with a somewhat decent paycheck, but also until after I had told my manager that I am trans* and that that was a non-issue for him.

Speaking at my home group was a good relief.  No more hiding who I am.  Opening up about this seems to be getting easier & easier after each time I open my mouth.  A bit like admitting being an addict back in '97 when I got clean.

Life is good.  :)

6/6 141
6/13 140

Goal 136, maybe.  Must lose tummy fat.

5'9 A cup

2000 cals daily 2 mile walks before breakfast, one up a steep hill.

Started losing weight to transition 18-22 months ago at 172.  Started hormones at 141 a year ago, had lost 30-35 lbs before that at a lb a week.  All about the calorie counts, cutting weight 2 days a week back to back at 1500 cals, binging one day a week at 2500- in the beginning.  Now I stay with the 2000 cal and walking, so I can redistribute the remaining fat effectively.

I have thighs now.  :)

No work yesterday or today - I took two days off for PTHC.  So I get to post early for once  :)

I told my parents on Sunday morning, & my NA home group on Sunday evening.  I told my supervisor & manager at work (plus a couple of others) a week or two earlier.  My brother & any other friends close to me have known for a while.  That is everyone whom I really wanted to tell personally.  So now I no longer have the worry of being "found out" ... anyone whom I might care about being surprised by the news already knows.  I can physically feel the reduction in stress.  I like it  :)

Oh, and my weight is moving in the right direction again after a week of poor eating habits in Texas last week   :)

I weighed myself yesterday and just forgot to post. It was a nasty rainy day here and I had to be out in it soooooo, it slipped my mind.

Height: 5ft, 5 in. NOTE: I cut January and February's numbers in order to shorten my post a bit.
2/21/2014 120 lb's
2/28/2014 121 lb's.

4/11/2012 117 lb's
4/18/2014 118 lb's
4/25/2014 117 lb's
5/02/2014 118 lb's
5/09/2014 117 lb's.
5/16/2014 117 lb's
5/23/2014 118 lb's.
5/30/2014 117 lb's.
6/06/2014 117 lb's.
And on Friday 6/13/2014 I weighed 118 lb's.

Uh Oh, going the wrong direction again. Too much sitting around inside because of the rain. I can't wait until this crappy weather passes.

So I'm 6'1"  unfortunately

  05/23/14  -  186 lb  (84.4 kg)   
  06/01/14  -  172 lb  (78.1 kg)...............hip: 38"    waist: 29.5"      under'bust': 35"
  06/06/14  -  169 lb  (76.8 kg)...............hip: 38"    waist: 29.0"             "
*06/13/14  -  167 lb  (75.7 kg)...............hip: 38"    waist: 28.5"             "

* I changed the scales I'm using for this week as the first set wasn't very reliable, and I think the new set reads slightly higher, I definitely feel like I lost more than a kg this week, and I've definitely lost 1/2 an inch off the waist :)

my goal weight is approx. 65 kg (143 lb).


So I should be able to start HRT in the next few weeks, I can't wait!!! :) I really hope it helps me loose some muscle, it's all I really have left too lose as far as weight goes, especially on my legs. If I had to describe my current body shape/physique, I would say I would look a lot like the Na'vi from Avatar lol.

-edit, I just realised I've been measuring my hips incorrectly, I was measuring far too high lol.. I'm 38" not a 36". That gives me a hip to waist ratio well in the female range even pre hrt ( I can take a pic to prove it if you want lol), I'm kind of wondering if I might have some sort of underlying endocrine (androgen insensitivity or level) issues.. It will be interesting to see how my initial endo tests come out.

And I forgot to mention, well done ladies!! Some great progress being made by so many, and others who have already done so well, even if they can't lose any more (greedy wee things lol).

Long week with very little food or sleep.  So my numbers for today are likely to rebound over the weekend as I start eating meals again, instead of just snacks.

I hit a couple of small milestones yesterday:
I ventured outside in obviously female attire for the first time.
I spent several hours chatting with a genetic girl who only knew me as Tessa and wasn't able to visualize me as anything other than female.

My head is still spinning.  Not sure if that's from the lack of sleep (<10 hours for the week so far), lack of food (max 2 meals all week), or residual euphoria from how well I felt on my first ever visit to the outdoors as Tessa.

Parents are still talking with me.  This is good.  They really, really do not want to know any "details" about me being trans*, but my mum did make a point of writing an email to tell me how happy they both are that I have found something that seems to have completely cured my depression.  I gotta remember to let them take the same baby-steps that I had to spend years getting through.

Today I made my first ever doc appointment for Tessa.  Every other appointment so far has been for my male alter-ego. It is good to feel so free (in many, many ways).

360 (163.3)+  at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 (154.2) from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 300 (136.1) on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

So I seem to have hit the wall, I've been really disciplined, counting calories etc. but think I've nearly run out of fat to loose. I might have to reduce protein and increase carbs while still in calorie deficit to try and catabolise some muscle, kinda looking like one of the Na'vi from the movie Avatar at the moment lol.

In the good news basket however; my therapist is preparing the referral to an endocrinologist for HRT this coming week. I apparently should be able to see the endo later this month or early July, fingers crossed :)

Reading the above I feel kind of awkward as I surprisingly needed to gain weight to actually look healthy.

Age: 29
Height: 182cm
Waist both before therapy start and now: ~80cm (what can I improve here anyway :-) )

Weight before therapy start was between 62-63kg even though I ate 3 lunches per day I simply couldn't gain. I actually spent more money on food expenses than on the rent of my Prague flat!

Current weight is stable between 67-68kg which is finally the optimal BMI weight for a 182cm tall female. And I have a butt now (odd I like it grew up?) so that I can sit comfortably and no longer feel like I'm sitting literally on my pelvic bone. Not to mention my food consumption dropped significantly. Sometimes I can barely finish a single lunch :-) .

I'm 5' 9" and medium build. On February 1 when i started hormones i weighed 188lbs. As of current after almost five months on hrt i weigh 166lbs. Haven't done anything too extraordinary other than eat more veggies/fruit and less sugar and bread and walk/jog 3 miles 4-5 times a week. As with anyone the more weight i lose the better. :) But if my boobs were a lil bigger I definitely would be rocking the summertime swimsuit attitude. LOL

Why yell :-) ? I had food consumption like a sportsman on steroids and everyone just stared how much food I'm capable to eat and still be slim. So you're not alone. But be extra careful during the initial HRT weeks.

Your metabolism is more likely to slow down as the testosterone will start dropping and estrogen will eventually get the upper hand. My food consumption dropped to like 33% in a month and keeps getting lower. Now it's like on 25%.

I look at food and gain weight darn nab it! Oh wait, then again when I look at food I have this reflex problem where my arm shoots out and my hand grabs the food I just looked and the arm then jerks back and the hand deposits it directly into my mouth hole.

Actually, I am not so much that way any more except oddly when stressed or really tired. Even then I am more conscious of what I do and have been doing pretty good barring this odd set back of half a pound this week.

Also, I know the real struggle of folks trying to gain weight, it is a real deal and I feel for you all just the same as us who have the opposite issue. Yes, skinny can be just as troubling as being obese. I have enough hugs to go around, and enough understanding too know it's not a joke.

We are all in this together, getting to be healthier is really what this thread is about and it just so happens a good weight is between too low and too high, and good health is about being in the good weight range. We'll all get their together with each others' cheers!!! Lot's of rock stars on this thread!

Oh, & 'gaining' ½ a pound in a week is normal fluctuation:   Look at my numbers for the year so far.

If you look at this graph you can see that even when I was losing almost 2lbs per week early last year, there were still many times when my weight went up.

The dark blue daily weights are all over the place;  Even the light blue weekly averages move up & down a lot;  Only the green 28-day average shows a smooth curve, & even that goes up sometimes.

Given how little I ate & slept this past week, I will be very surprised if my weight doesn't rise a couple of pounds by next weekend.

Just a wee update that has nowt to do with weight:

I wandered out as Tessa yesterday, but from my home this time.  Three times: once to my Quaker meeting; once to my NA meeting; & once for my usual 4-mile walk around the neighbourhood.

I received many hugs after each meeting, and no unusual looks or stares in my neighbourhood - just several friendly greetings, as per usual.

Despite regular running, my weight has increased from 65 to 69 kg (from 143 to 152 lbs). I suspect the accuracy of the scale, but I guess it was anyway increased.

While running at today noon.

The sun here is very strong, and the weather forecast warns a high level of UV.

Welcome back, Barbie  :)

I see from your photos that you are looking just as great as ever  :)

I stayed between 147 & 150lbs for 15 years (age 16-31), except when I took more exercise than usual, when my weight would go up to 154lbs, & then drop back to 150 again once I stopped exercising as much.  You may be experiencing something similar.

You seem to have found a good balance where you look both thin & healthy.  Congratulations  :)

I am surprised that I managed to actually lose some weight this week rather than gaining some.  But happy   :)

It has been a good week.  There has been very little sleep, but food did include a 12-oz Fillet Steak on Wed & a Double Blue-Cheese Burger yesterday.  There is about to be more steak incoming very, very shortly  ;D

The beast lurched, moving back in the proper direction. It was laborious, but progress none the less. Oddly enough, this last month has seen me lose about 8 pounds but everyone is exclaiming how I have lost so much weight and am looking good. ROFL. It's funny how you reach a certain point in your obesity (as I am still in the obese range) that here in America folks can warn you not to lose too much. Heck, I have 25 pounds to go before I am merely "overweight" lol. I like my trend overall still, but I did not think I would face this slow down prior to reaching 200. I will say, the waist has lost inches, and my strength has been noticeably improving recently. Both things I desire, as I do want strength, just not bulk. I know this is how it goes when you reach stages like this, and this is probably healthy to slow down. It just feels a little soon. Could it be a temporary plateau and I can find a more steady loss rate again soon? I really want to be below 200 by November, and this slowing trend is making me sweat a little. OH WAIT! Sweating is good! :laugh:

Welcome back, Barbie  :)

I see from your photos that you are looking just as great as ever  :)

I stayed between 147 & 150lbs for 15 years (age 16-31), except when I took more exercise than usual, when my weight would go up to 154lbs, & then drop back to 150 again once I stopped exercising as much.  You may be experiencing something similar.

You seem to have found a good balance where you look both thin & healthy.  Congratulations  :)

I did not run for the last 4 consecutive days. I measured again, and it read 73 kg (161 lbs). I do not believe the scale.

Hi girls.  My weight hasn't improved, but at least my mood has.  Still fighting on, and trying to control my apatite, but it's not easy and I LOVE all the fresh fruit that's available now.  Lucky I'm not in California where I'd be eating twice as much fruit at less than half the cost. 

Anyway, last December I was 198 lbs.
Today I'm 207 lbs. 

Yup, not good.  And by November I want to be about 190 or less, so I have to get to work.

I'll stop in again in three or four months.

I'll race you to that 190, I'm having the same problem and I'm back up to 201, was 197 2 days ago. I wish I knew what the problem is.I can't seem to break the 195 barrier.

I was going to participate in this (going up though on weight), but I think my scale is defective. Weighed myself in the bathroom one moment it said 139lbs. I move it a little and try again just to be sure, okay, now 141lbs. Hmm, okay, lets try this somewhere else. Entryway, still 141lbs. Kitchen 144lbs. Hey, that don't make sense, well okay, being that I'm in the kitchen and weight is highest does kind of make sense...food! But seriously, if this piece of crap scale keeps changing based on where I place it, I can't very well trust it. I'm just going to have to go with instincts here. Will let you'all know if I feel heavier.  ;)

I told my mom, she tried, at first all three places she was the same weight, but then I showed her the differences I was getting, she tried again, she went up 5lbs just as I did while in the kitchen.  :D

Okay, this was fun. But now I don't really know what my true weight is. I'm definitely skinnier than I was 2 months and some ago, lost a lot of fat, no visible ripples down the back of my thighs, but how much!? Urgh! Stupid scale.  >:(

Sometimes Megan, the differences in flooring ie: tile vs. linoleum, or very slightly uneven floors can cause these slight fluctuation in scale readings. You should always weigh yourself in the same place in your home, preferably, on a very flat level solid floor that's not carpeted. Usually, your bathroom floor.

Hope it helps.

Stupid scale.  >:(

As Ally said, most (maybe all?) scales will give different readings depending on the floor surface.  I think it seems to mostly depend on how level the scales are.  Carpet will not produce reliable measurements.  I have my scales sitting on the hardwood floor in my bedroom.  Tiles also work.  Cheap lino works better than expensive lino (less 'give' with cheap lino).

I have also found that my posture seems to affect the readings.  Weight = Mass X Acceleration.  Moving creates a small amount of acceleration, which affects weight (only a little, but enough to notice).  I have found that I need to stand quite still on the scales.  I have also found that I seem to weigh a little more (usually ounces rather than pounds) when I slouch instead of standing straight.  So I stand still & tall, looking straight ahead, and then look down when I think the reading has appeared on the screen (& before it disappears).

I also do not enter in any measurement unless I can get the same measurement twice in a row.  Too many things affect how the scales measures weight.  If I bump it with my foot into a different position on the floor, that can be enough to change my weight (usually up, for some reason).

That's my tuppenny-worth anyway.  [1] Keep the scales in the same place on a hard, level surface.  [2] Stand still & tall when on the scales.

Oh .... & welcome to the thread    ::)

I had actually put a level on the scale last night because I knew it had to do with the floor (still blame the scale though), I could not find any place in our apartment that was flat level floor. Ah, one place I hadn't tried though, our patio. Maybe I should, that's nice hard concrete, could be more accurate.

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS HOT DAMN TO KATHYK!!! I am simply glad you have stopped in and stated you have a goal and are active here still. That makes me smile!

As far as the scale goes, I stick to two rules. 1. Use the same scale and 2. Use it in the same spot. Even with level issues, over the long term with those two rules you are going to have good enough weekly captures to note what needs to be noted accurately enough.

Now on to the self report...

I certainly liked this week's progress and though I still think I am obese enough I should be able to lose five pounds a week and stay healthy and avoid too much skin sag (stretch marks are UNavoidable ugh) I can handle three pounds a week as long as I can maintain that all the way down to the 180 range (yea, I am a big dreamer.) Still hoping to make it to Marine Corps weight for my daughter's wedding. It is still attainable at this pace, but I have little room for error. Wish me luck.

Yes, concrete will be a good surface Megan. I keep mine in my bathroom. I have hard black tiles in there that are nice and level (the only place in my home that is, lol!!). But yes, concrete should give you an accurate and consistent reading/s.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

I am finally feeling that I have managed to get my weight back to where I was between June & August of last year - my weight has been at or below 170lbs for almost 3 weeks now.  My belly is barely protruding over my belt (which has always been my primary indicator of how much weight I want to lose).  I feel that even that will go within the next couple of pounds   :D

I have added in a few rows of data from last year (as if I wasn't throwing in enough numbers already) to show my progress from Jan-Jun & regress from Aug-Nov.  The minima & maxima are underlined.

My long birthday weekend started early yesterday afternoon & will continue until early Tuesday AM.  I have been promised wife-made Shepherd's Pie, among other treats.  The missus has been telling me again how much better I am to be around since I started HRT, although she is still finding it hard to come to terms with my changing gender.  It has been a needed reminder that her transition & mine do not always move at the same pace.  She usually moves slower because she wants to be back where we started, while I cannot face returning there.  We are talking.  We are taking time for one another.  This marriage is taking quite a bit of work, but the rewards have been (& hopefully will continue to be) very much worth the effort.

While absolutely level is good, as long as the scales is about as level this week as it was last week & will be next week, then the readings will be useful.  The aim is to see our relative progress.  We do not need exact absolute weight measurements for this, just something that is reasonably consistent from one week to the next.

Patio wouldn't work too well for me.  I always weigh myself naked since different clothing affects weight so much.  Hence: bedroom, not livingroom.

Okay, tried it outside on porch. 141lbs in two places, 140 in another, 142 another spot. Okay, close enough.

I'm going to have to figure I'm about 141lbs right now (given I'd already eaten half a turkey sandwich when I decided to weigh in). Tried it again in the bathroom, got 141 as well as 140. Well, one thing I can say, it does appear that I'm gaining weight back again. 4-6lbs in the week since being back on hormones. May not be completely accurate but there is a significant difference from what I was reading weeks prior to getting on the pills when I was 135-137 range weighing in the bathroom. I supposed I'll know my true weight once I go to see the endo, they always check that.

As long as it goes to the right places (boobs & hips) you'll be Okay right? How tall are you Megan? I ask because in your video's you look absolutely stunning! If your like 5-9 ish or so 141 isn't so bad. I'm only 5-5 but also with a reeeeeally thin bone structure. Even at 118 I have a small fat tummy -looks like a small baby bump. If I can lose this last 10 lb's I'm trying to that will go away. It on me is always the last thing to go, I dunno why, lol!

Hey thanks Ally, I was tossing in a PS edit when you posted this, so I hope you catch my loving what you are doing though you sound like you want to lose more but I think things are great staying steady for you. I love you either way!

edit: HOLY RUN ON SENTENCE, guess I can skip cardio today!!! lol  :laugh:
Hi Toni!, Thanks for your compliment. My goal weight is around 107 -108. As I stated above I have a really thin bone structure (tiny wrists and ankles, just thin bones all over, and very small features you can't see in a photo.). Even at 118 I have a little tummy that sticks out making me look like I'm in the early stages of pregnancy. For me, that part is always the last to go -prolly due to my age (I'm 49). I dunno why but no matter what I do, until I lose that last 10 lb's I'll have a small baby bump, so to speak, lol!

Well, here are today's results:

Height: 5ft, 5 in. NOTE: I cut January and February's numbers in order to shorten my post a bit.
7/14/2014 NOTE: Most February and March removed to save space and shorten post. Feb. 21st left for reference.
2/21/2014 120 lbs.
4/02/2014 On Vacation!
4/11/2012 117 lb's
4/18/2014 118 lb's
4/25/2014 117 lb's
5/02/2014 118 lb's
5/09/2014 117 lb's.
5/16/2014 117 lb's
5/23/2014 118 lb's.
5/30/2014 117 lb's.
6/06/2014 117 lb's.
6/13/2014 118 lb's.
6/20/2014 117 lb's.
6/27/2014 116 lb's.
7/04/2014 118 lb's.

And this Friday, 7/11/2014, 117 lb's.

So no change. I think I've plateau'ed and am going to have to change either my eating habits, my physical activity routine, or both if I want to reach my goal of 110 lb's.

I know the feeling. Though I haven't that much left to lose I can assure you it's every bit as frustrating as if I had a lot left. We've had rain, and rain, and more rain for the most part of straight through the last 6 weeks. This type of weather keeps me inside a lot thus cutting down on the amount of physical activity I get each day.

I have my fingers crossed for the both of us we'll beat this plateau soon.

Ally, I was where you are, for most of my young adult life.. I was 108lbs all thru high school, didn't break 120 until I was 24yrs old.  I could eat anything, and everything and not gain a pound.. my lunches were at least a single Big Mac (usually two), fries and a coke..  I was 124lbs when I got married at 26yrs old..  When I turned 40.. well, then it began.. my heaviest, abt 4yrs ago.. 168.. I'm now btwn 153 and 158.. depends how much coffee I've had in the morning  :P

I'd really do just about anything (um, except exercise), to try to get down to 150 or less.. I'm 5' 10, my arms and wrists are still slim, my thighs, eh, they have gotten bigger, calves too.  I really would like my fingers to get slimmer.  I have not really studied my face for changes, or neck for size.. I haven't really been alone at home enough to grab the tape measure to check, I haven't in at least two months, but my bust is -definitely- bigger.  Yeah, not really had a chance to study my changes.. maybe, if I haven't noticed, my family hasn't either.. a good thing.. for when they do.. Hiroshima will seem like a 4th of July roadside fireworks stand fountain..   :-\

I'm pretty sure, I could just blindly post, and repost.. 154lbs one day, 156 the next, and 153 the next.. that's really all it would change.. ok, might go up to abt 159, but after.. uh.. coffee.. or.. some peaches.. I'd be back down to normal weight.. 154-ish.. guess the lots of water I drink helps there too.

I don't just blindly post. I have a new digital scale and do weigh myself every Friday morning (when I first get up is the best time for me). This thread has become sort of a ritual for some of us. For me, that, and also a way to monitor my progress, or lack thereof, as I work toward a goal weight of 108-110 lb's. Also, I only post here on Fridays.

Even at what others consider an ideal weight for me, I still have a little tummy. It makes me look like I'm a teen (I'm tiny built) in her early stages of pregnancy, lol! (hey, it's just the best way to describe it). This on me is always the very last thing to go, I dunno why, but it is. Losing the last 8-10 lb's I know will get rid of it. Hey, at my age I need all the help I can get, lol!

I know some prolly think i'm nuts at my weight to post here. But like others here I am working toward a goal. I hope that helps explain why with only 8-10 lb's left to lose I still post here.

omg, no, I didn't mean you do, oh, please, I'm sorry Ally, no, didn't mean you at all.. I meant, I could, as my weight isn't really going where I want it to either.  If I could break 150lbs, like even 149.9, I would just sit down and cry!  3-4 lousy pounds, is all I need, but it would take a lot, to get me there.  The work I do, it just isnt easy at all to eat right.

<---  and as an O blood type..  salads, leafy greens, and me.. we just don't get along.  O's don't do well with agrarian-type foods.  O's are carnivores.. A's, B's are agrarians, farmers, vegetarian-based..  so, while burgers, or chicken sammiches are not that healthy, or weight-conscious, they are usually cheaper than a grilled chicken salad in the concourses.  If ou haven't read it, pick up Peter Adamo's,  Eat Right For Your Type.  it's a diet book that works with your body chemistry (blood type).. it's excellent!

In agreement with some comments above, this is a rather good wee thread! For me it really does have far more affect on my diet discipline than it should lol. I would have posted already this week, I had a really great Friday morning result, but I'd gone up a little this morning (Saturday morning here in NZ -we're 12-20 hours ahead here than where most posters on this site hail from, when I usually post on this thread). So I'll see how I go tomorrow morning to make sure it was/wasn't water or whatever, and put my number up then. The good news is my waist just keeps shrinking, 27 inches (loose tape) now, and at 6'1" that's not to bad, hips are still 37.5 inches (loose tape) and only one week HRT now. I just wish my face wasn't so nasty.. there is potential, but definitely surgery territory (really long nose - I hate it!!).
It's good to see how others are going too :) Its just a nice gradual but easily quantifiable thing to work towards while you wait for your chance  for HRT, or once you're on it, while you wait for it to do its thang..

I'm so sorry I didn't mean for you to think I was implying anything either, gosh no. I just thought it about time I let people in on why I'm not satisfied with 117-118 lb's, and why I want to be around 108-110.

Yea I know what you mean all too well concerning those last few pounds not wanting to come off, and how stubborn they can in fact be. Too much rain where I live has kept me inside most days which limits my physical activity drastically. This is what I feel is hurting me right now.

<---  and as an O blood type..  salads, leafy greens, and me.. we just don't get along.  O's don't do well with agrarian-type foods.  O's are carnivores..

My blood type is AB-, While I dunno if that makes me a carnivore or a rabbit (I hate salads by the way), I don't eat red meat. Only poultry, dairy, and fish with some fruit and a few grains such as cereals, some bread (but not much!), pretty much makes up the staple of my daily dietary needs. Oh and I take a good women's multi and a good hair, skin, and nails multi plus krill oil every day, to supplement the nutrients I'm not getting from vegetables (I'm allergic to vegetable proteins). Believe it or not the vitamins I take make a big difference with regard to my hair, skin, and nail health. I try to keep my total caloric intake at or below 1,450 per day (again, I'm tiny and eating more will only make me look more bloated.).

I hope that explains things a little better.

Best wishes! :icon_bunch:

Ok, I was worried you thot I might be ranting abt posting weights.  I'm not at all!

AB types are most agrarian based body chemistry.. so sounds like you're on the right path.. interestingly enough most people don't know their blood type.  But I'd suggest the book anyway. There is also a Cook book that goes with it, Cook Right For Your Type.  I know either could help someone out there.

Yea I meant to thank you for letting me know about the book. I do sincerely intend to check it out. I'll look for the cookbook too when I find Eat Right for Your Type. I just got so entrenched on wording things the right way I forgot to thank you so, thanks for the book Paula!

Hopefully, you and I will break our dietary stalemate soon.

Interesting you mention the 'Eat Right for Your Type Book', I've also read that, around 8 years ago now I think. I'm O neg, so it was protein, fat and collard greens for me lol, with not much in the way of dairy or grain. I'm not sure how much difference it made, I was always slim, healthy and athletic before, but it did seem to agree with me and I felt quite good. However I didn't keep it up and I was still fine lol.

I'm now on the almost exact opposite diet, low fat, almost no protein, with grains, fruit and veg making up most of my diet (while maintaining a decent calorie deficit) in an effort drop muscle mass without loosing too much fat ( I have very little I can safely loose). It seems to be working very well for me too, so I guess your goal will determine your diet, however I'm not a professional..


Anyway....

Eat Right for your Type!! I have read that and one other blood type diet book, along with a zillion others. I will say I do think there is something to it as I do see food as having medicinal properties, however, it takes real effort. The only thing that has worked for me is coming out, as it's given me a drive and willpower I have never had in regards to my personal health. I had gone through efforts for strength training, never efforts to look like I want to as that was impossible. That is slowly changing as I read others stories of real transition. That being said, when I get negative (typically is involves a look into the mirror at the total dude looking at me I think "I can't pull this off") I slip up, kind of like this week. However, I find trying is still happening as I have found hope in others' stories. Then the camaraderie on this post that is so critical to my transition effort as it is the critical first step, is something I am so grateful for. All that said, I gained a pound, but it is mostly due to a dang injury that set me back a bit. I also had a pity party mid week and sort of sunk my chances to post a new low weight. So I am glad I am here today recharging my batteries with more hope from you all. Thank you all so much!

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

I went a little (OK, more than a little) nuts with the food over my birthday weekend & for about a week afterwards.  My 7-day average went from 168.0 to 170.1 lbs over 10-days.  I seem to have contained my appetite a bit & have managed to bring that average down to 169.3 over the last 6 days.  I have also been able to restart my 1-hour daily walks (albeit only at the weekend) after being told by my GP that the tests I had show no major issues.

Belly is back over my belt again ... guess where every bit of the weight I found went to ...   :(

I did hit a bit of an emotional low over the past couple of weeks also.  I got a couple of pointed reminders that I am not anywhere close to passing when I present as Tessa.  This did not make me feel very good.  I am trying to regain the comfort I had with just being me, with some success thankfully.  At this point I am basically 'out' as trans to just about everyone in my personal life here in Philly.  Only a few people at work know, and that is OK.  Back home, my parents don't want anyone to know anything, and I have been honouring their request to digest the news slowly & very privately.  I had only spoken to one old college friend & her husband about me being trans, and I do trust their integrity.  No-one else back home knows (or needs to know) yet.

Hearing of Nero's death did cause me to reconsider my own path.  I am still unsure of where exactly I am going.  I am still terrified at the thought of presenting a female self to the world instead of the male persona which has become comfortable through use & famailiarity.  Last Sunday I walked into a group of about 100 people as Tessa.  Some of the people there have known me for over a dozen years, many have known me for 6-8 years.  Not all of our interactions have been friendly (I tend to not back down from anyone when standing up for something I believe to be true, & I have a very powerful voice).  I was quaking so much before getting out of my car & walking in, that I came close to just restarting the engine & driving home.  I am very glad that I found enough courage to leave my car & walk the gauntlet of chatting people outside the meeting place. 

Since then I have been questioning that moment.  Fear is how our bodies warn us of danger.  If I am feeling this much fear, is there something I have not yet admitted to myself ?  Am I deluding myself in thinking that there is any chance that I even want to transition ?  I realise that familiar pain needs to become unbearable before the terror of uncertainty appears preferable.  I am between those two just now, and I do not know which way I should be heading.  I cannot go back to where I was.  That path holds nothing for me but despair and death.  The way forward is mostly unknown, & what little I do know is truly terrifying.  I do not know how I will find the courage to face it, or if I even should be considering trying to do so.  Where I am is a shifting sand that does not seem to afford purchase for any foundation or anchor.  I feel I cannot remain here indefinitely.  The changes are more rapid than I had anticipated.  I am not prepared. 

For now, my wife is the rock to which I have tied my anchor.  I also have many supportive friends.  I know how easily the darkness can consume me, and have taken steps to protect myself.

The Prometrium is still keeping my depression at bay.  If not, then last Sunday would have more traumatic than I could have borne.  Without the brain-fog of depression, I feel I have a chance of surviving this period of being very obviously inbetween one gender & the other.  I have even had moments where I can envision myself becoming comfortable here, twixt one gender & t'other.

Life is still good.  As of this past Friday, my wife & I have no credit card debt (from 5-figures at the end of March).  Financially, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel.  My job is going well.  The client company I am on contract with is very pro-diversity.  The company I work for does not seem to care about my gender identity (which they know about) as long as my work is good. 

Life is actually looking quite full of hope just now.  I just need to keep reminding myself that I can weather the coming storm because I do not have to do so alone.

I am not sure why I fely the need to write all this here or now.  But here it is.  I will leave it here in the "Friday weight" thread because my weight does affect how I perceive myself, and keeping some control of this one thing does help give me a little bit of courage to face everything else.  And I can use any little bit of help I can get   :)

Tessa, I hope you found it therapeutic to write it out. You seemed hopeful towards the end. I wish you the best.

It seems like getting through the awkward inbetween phase requires just putting your head down and grinding it out.  Sort of reminds me of getting through grad school...but without the serious social implications.

And btw, I LOVE that you're using rolling averages. Make a chart with a trendline and this finance girl would be pretty impressed! :)

There seems to be a slight linear downward trend (c.1oz/3 days) since the middle of January 2014 (c.Day 360).  I did match my 28-day averages for the first 200 days to a 50/50 interpolation between a linear graph & a reciprocal graph, while my daily weight seemed to follow a straightforward reciprocal graph.  Other than that, there does not really seem to be any specifically mathematical trend:

Well, I know I am slowing down, but I am continuing to get healthier and it does show. I am reaching an awkward stage at work as I am getting some feedback about how I am going to start slaying the ladies, lol (funny because I am not into females, or anything really, not that I am asexual as I am not. I'm just not comfortable with myself, so not going there with anyone. Though if I were gendered the way I feel I should've of been, I would date men for sure. Probably exclusively, though because of my past I cannot rule out women.) I guess my hard work is starting to show, but it's a linebacker look. I am simply so fricking broad, having been in sports and then power lifting really may have screwed me for the transition I wish I could make. I know it's not about looks, but I also don't want to look like the stereotypical Eastern Block Olympian from the 70's and 80's East German and Soviet Union weight lifters and I think that is my best case scenario at this point. I still have more than oodles of fat to lose but I am seeing the muscle showing up already, and how fricking wide my shoulders are and my upper torso as a whole. I get it, I always did, that I was born in this male body, and now that I realize it is the wrong one, I suppose why not the REALLY wrong one? But shoot, it kind of makes losing weight suck. I know I got to 360+ because I did not think I could ever be happy with my body anyways, but oh this stage is like a horrific reminder. I am going to continue to fight through it though, I am! As I do recall when I used to dance I did look slender at times in high school. I am just not sure if I can reach that after the decades of thickening testosterone has done to me, and then the massive eating I did after I gave up. I am still not asking God to just end me anymore, which is good, but I sure am still asking that when this life is all over, whenever it is, that I get to come back as a girl. I just have to, as I fear I am not going to make it to a point I can even try in this life. Sorry to get so far off track on this post but I am...

My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

Well again it's Friday. Here are my results.

Height: 5ft, 5 in.
Goal  weight is 108-110 lb's.
7/23/2014 NOTE: January, February, March and April removed to save space and shorten post. Feb. 21st left for reference.
2/21/2014 120 lbs.
5/02/2014 118 lb's
5/09/2014 117 lb's.
5/16/2014 117 lb's
5/23/2014 118 lb's.
5/30/2014 117 lb's.
6/06/2014 117 lb's.
6/13/2014 118 lb's.
6/20/2014 117 lb's.
6/27/2014 116 lb's.
7/04/2014 118 lb's.
7/11/2014 117 lb's.
7/19/2014 118 lb's.

And on this Friday, 7/25/2014 I again weighed 118 lb's.

I think I better get used to this weight until I get better weather and can get outside. I could cut my food intake but, it's at 1,450 to 1,650 calories per day now and I'm afraid if I go too low it will be unhealthy, so I dunno. One thing is obvious. If I want to reach my goal weight I have to change something.

Tessa, well done.  Clearly you've got skills.  :)

I hope you don't mind, I plugged your numbers in and played around with them a bit.  And you're right, there definitely is a trend.  I don't have your daily numbers, but the weekly numbers you've posted here have been consistently trending downward since December. 

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1373.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fag361%2Fkate9l%2FScreenShot2014-07-26at53646AM_zps691538e8.png&hash=828a57c4ec41fa2a5305d92b42c12bde00b2b917)


The last month was a bit of an outlier, but you seem to have returned to the basic trajectory.  And after playing with the numbers a bit, I spotted a fairly predictable 7 week cycle of losing a few and gaining a few.  So I created a seasonal index.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1373.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fag361%2Fkate9l%2FScreenShot2014-07-26at51415AM_zps607ae508.png&hash=5fcc90f64101637f27c444f40e27c5c466052ed7)


So with the consistent/predictable downward trend and the seasonal index, I built a predictive model.  Your stated goal weight is 165lbs.  Given the big losses of the last month or so, I'd say you're capable of reaching your goal relatively quickly.  But if you stick to the same routine you've had all year without making big changes, then I predict you'll reach 165lbs by the end of November.

LOL.  Thanks Katie  :)

Given that I was 176.8lbs this morning after getting out of the hosptial yesterday evening, I suspect that your prediction may not be entirely accurate ....  /sigh

I generally do not post on Friday because I often weigh myself late in the day.  I work night-shift, & tend to sleep most of each Friday afternoon & evening.

My brother visited on Saturday.  It was really good to spend some time with him.  He is not happy that I am transitioning, and this does put a bit of a strain on our friendship.  Fortunately, he is finding the internal strength to overcome how he feels and still remain in contact with me.  There is just the two of us; no other siblings.  He is very sad to be losing his only brother, and not sure how or if he will be able to relate to me as Tessa.

After he left, my lower abdomen started hurting.  A few hours later I had my wife take me to the ER.  They found a hernia and told me I would need surgery on the Sunday.  When the doc checked me again less than an hour later, the hernia had grown enough that he woke up his boss & had me in the OR at 4:30am on Sunday morning.  They removed an incarcerated hernia and 3-4 inches of my lower intestine that had become necrotic.  Since I have not pooped or puked since the operation, my weight has been steadily rising each day since.  Once my repaired colon starts letting through something more substantial than just gas, then I expect my weight to drop a bit.  In the meantime, I feel lousy; and a little concerned.

Tessa, I'm glad the surgery went well.  My thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover.

And don't worry about the weight.  Clearly there are mitigating circumstances in the push to get to your goal.

TY Katie.  I am only beginning to realise how serious my situation was.  I am not used to seeing phrases like "mortality rate" referring to procedures that I have just come through.

I do realise that recovering from my surgery is the most important thing I have to do right now, but I can see that I did not make that plain in my post.

I will keep recording my weight & posting here, but that is trivial compared to becoming well again.  My food intake will be determined by what I need to recover, not anything else.

I am a bit better than this time yesterday.  At least I now know that the repair job is functional.  From here on, I just have to let myself heal.

Very good news Tessa, and this thread says "Friday Weight" but I think we all see this as a post about our efforts to get healthier. Getting healed IS getting healthier! Once you bounce back, you will probably have renewed ambition and resume your weight loss success! Get well girlfriend!!! :-*

Toni, I think that's a really good point.  This whole thing is about being healthy.

I've tried to lose weight before, but it always came back.  Dieting was a temporary thing.  But this time, I'm motivated because I want to be well.  I want to live.  I want to be me.  And so a shift in my diet and other habits was easy.  I have a target weight, but I don't plan to return to my old way of doing things once I reach it.  I've changed my lifestyle.

"Chugga Chugga, Toot Toot!" said the little engine that could. Just noticed another advantage to kilograms... I will actually see a double digit midget number soon. That is kind of cool in a weird way. Not as momentous as getting below 200 or my old Marine Corps weight, and finally 155. I do see it as a neat little milestone I had overlooked until just now. Hope everyone is having a healthy week, and Tessa and others needing to heal up I hope are mending nicely and pampering themselves just a little. ;)

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

My weight shot up to 179.2lbs (81.5kg) by the time I got home on Tuesday evening from my 3 days in the hospital.  That is my highest weight since Nov 2013.  The following evening my bowels started letting some of the backlog out, and by Friday morning I had lost 12.8lbs (5.8kg) to reach my lowest weight since Jul 2013, 166.4lbs (75.6kg).  As my wife so gleefully pointed out:  I really was full of it.

My weight dropped to 165.8lbs (75.4kg) this morning, which is my lowest weight since 2001.  Fortunately my appetite seems to be slowly returning:  I was actually able to eat an omelette for breakfast this morning.  I want to lose some weight, but not by starving myself.  The pain meds are still curbing my appetite quite a bit by upsetting my stomach, and I still need a few each day.  I am grateful that I am able to eat small meals again.

I am a lot more grateful just to be alive.  If I had stayed in bed to "ride it out" overnight, the outcome would not have been good.  The swelling sped up a lot while I was in the ER.  Surgeons don't generally get out of bed to operate on someone at 4am on a Sunday morning just because they feel like it. 

I am lucky I realised that I needed to go to the ER.
I am lucky my wife decided to take me to Jeanes hospital herself instead of letting an ambulance take me to the nearest hospital.
I am lucky the ER doctor realised immediately that I needed a CT-scan & called the resident surgeon on-duty.
I am lucky the resident surgeon quickly diagnosed a hernia despite my having no history or even knowledge of having a hernia.  (I thought that maybe my prostate was acting up again.)
I am lucky the resident surgeon made the decision to wake up his boss (who was the surgeon on-call) as soon as he saw the rate of swelling increase.
I am lucky that the surgeon on-call happened to be a colon specialist who was sleeping in the building beside the ER.
I am lucky to have no complications (yet) after my colon had to be stitched back together following an emergency removal of a hernia & a few inches of dead colon.
I am lucky.

This past week has helped me come to an understanding of my NA Second Step:  All it means is that I cannot recover on my own.  I need others to help me.  Knowing this was easy; accepting it has been hard.  The final piece I needed was to realise that I do not need to magically find a belief in some deity, that I can work the 2nd Step without that just by accepting that I need help in all that I do.  It has taken me 17 years of recovery to overcome my pride, arrogance & self-importance enough to become willing to accept this very simple statement.

I am in physical pain.  My everything hurts.  I cannot do many things that have always been trivial tasks.  And yet I find that I am very happy, very content with my life & how it is going.  I have a loving wife for whom I care deeply.  I have friends who are willing to pause their lives and take time to stop by & help.  I have a job that is eagerly awaiting my return from illness.  I have a boss who has made it clear to myself and many others that he places a high value on my work and that he likes how I do my job.

As a friend said to me earlier:  The universe seems to be spinning in my direction.

Height:  5'11" (1.81m)    -    Target Weight:  Belly not protruding over belt, which I thought would be at:  165-170lbs  (75.0-77.3kg)
I notice this morning that my belly is still protruding a little even though my weight dropped to just under 163lbs (74kg).  I suspect that losing weight alone is not going to help that.  Note2Self:  Ask physio for exercises that will help firm up my belly when I go to him to rebuild my core muscles after surgery.  This probably will not be for another month or so.  It will take a while for my abdomen to heal enough to allow me go to physio.

My appetite has not yet fully returned after surgery.  165.8lbs (75.4kg) was my highest weight this past week, the lowest being today's measurement.  I expect my appetite to return once I stop the pain meds (down to 1/day now).

Nearing the end of my second week at home recovering from my hernia surgery, and a little stir-crazy.  Actually looking forward to returning to work on Monday night.

Grats Toni   :)

You are shedding the pounds fast; almost 2lbs (0.9kg) per week.     :icon_dance:

It was a good weight loss week for Katie! It's been 5 years since I've weighed less than 190lbs. I crossed below on Saturday and kept going all week. Feels great!

I think I deserve something pretty to celebrate. :)

Stopped in to see how everyone's doing.  And wow Toni and Katie, you're unbelievable.  Especially Toni. 

I'm still stuck at 205 to 208, and can only wish for the focus you two have.  When I broke under 200 last fall it was such a major milestone for me.  Have to get back on track and get this body ready for the future.   :D

Glad to see you're all ok.  Take care girls.

Grats Katie !    :)

You're matching Toni by also losing almost 2lbs per week. 

Yeah, it does feel great to reach a weight one has not seen on the scales for years.

Let us know what your reward was.  (Mine was a nice nightie, M, now that L is a bit loose on me   :) )

Thank you all very much! I appreciate the encouraging words, but now have to confess to a terrible weekend. My daughter came in town and we had lunch with her brother and my daughter-in-law, then dinner and drinks later with them and a bunch of others, and topped it off with a mini-party at my cousins before going to Guardians of the Galaxy where I ate all the popcorn the establishment had on-site. THEN tonight, I was the grand-baby-sitter and Despicable Me 2 was the movie de'jour and we snacked like rug rats. Only I am not a rug rat and do not bounce off walls burning it off. Needless to say I weighed in when I got home like an hour ago to SCARE MY SELF STRAIGHT!! Well eating straight that is. I will have to bust some serious butt cheeks to get back to 219.2 by Friday. Can you ride a stationary bike while sleeping???  :-\

I was so discouraged by the week prior to last's results staying the same I just quit weighing myself. I'll find out at my next Dr's appt whether I've lost anything or not. When I do, I'll come back. But until this weather breaks and I can get back outside doing things I doubt I'll be able to lose these last 10 lb's. And this heat and humidity usually doesn't break until the end of September around here so that's 2 months from now. Oh well, I'll still check in from time to time to see how you girls are doing. But for me, I seem to for now, be stuck where I'm at, so why just keep posting the same numbers?

Best of luck everyone!

Height:  5'11" (1.81m)    -Age:  45    -    Target Weight:  Belly not protruding over belt, which I thought would be at:  165-170lbs  (75.0-77.3kg)
I noticed that my belly still protruded a little even when my weight dropped to just under 163lbs (74kg).  I suspect that losing weight alone is not going to help that.  Note2Self:  Ask physio for exercises that will help firm up my belly when I go to him to rebuild my core muscles after surgery.  This probably will not be for another month or so.  It will take a while for my abdomen to heal enough to allow me go to physio.

Appetite still small.  Back to work, which is good.  17-hour day today, which is great for the pocket, but not so good for the pain.

Toni, grats on containing any weight gain after all the snacking you did last weekend.

The rise of 0.9lbs (= 14.4oz) is a normal fluctuation.  Look at how my weight has been bobbling up & down.

As Alli said, we'll be seeing you lighter & happier soon enough.

I have not measured my weight for a while, but I run every two days, on average.

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3923/14922348856_d1fd6169f8_o.png)

I did not run for 5 days, accumulating a lot of glucose in my body, and could run relatively fast on August 16.
It will rain for the next 2 days, and I should rest.

Thanks AnonyMs    :)

It is an ordinary Excel spreadsheet.  I have not made it very user-proof for others, so, if I were to upload a copy, it would probably only be useful to those who already know their way around Excel.  Aside from that, my only concern about uploading it would be that some might concentrate on their daily weight measurements rather than their 7-day & 28-day averages.  That would not be healthy.

If you send me a PM/email with your email address, I can send you a copy of the spreadsheet.  You would not be the first  ;)

There are three worksheets: 

The first is just data.  I record my weight & medications (trans & other) daily, & my measurements occasionally (too lazy, oops).  I would need to remove my dosages before sending.  This sheet is not necessary if daily weight is the only item being recorded.

The second reads the weight from the first & contains the formulae that produce the number series for the graph.  Daily weight could be entered here if other records are unnecessary.

The third is the graph itself.

One thing to note:    I have been told repeatedly by many people (including some of my doctors), that I should not be recording my weight daily.  They think that once per week is all I should be doing. 

The reason I have been given is that they are worried I might place too much stress on my body by trying to lower my weight every day, which would be very unreasonable and only really possible when either starving or anorexic.  I do understand their concern, but I also know myself.  I am a numbers geek.  I like seeing trends & patterns in numbers.  This is only possible with many data points.  Even though I measure my weight every day, I use the 7-day average as my "current weight" and the 28-day average as a guide to my progress. 

I have found that my daily weight can rise or fall by as much as 3.2lbs (1.5kg) with ordinary living.  I don't like to see a 2 or 3lb rise in a single day, but it does not worry me because I am aware that this happens normally every now & then (eg: twice within the past 2 weeks, & my weight has fallen by 2 or more lbs in one day twice within the past 3 weeks).  The moving averages are what actually let me know how I am doing, not the daily weight measurements.

Be well    :)

Tessa

TessaMarie, sent, thanks.

I can use Excel somewhat. I'm hardly an expert, but I'm sure I can modify it to my purposes. I like seeing the trends too, and it will provide an incentive to keep suffering (I like food way too much).

I doubt I could lower my weight on a daily basis even if I tried. With the daily fluctuations I'd have to lose weight at an incredible rate to stand a chance of that happening. I'll see if I can work out a high but safe rate and target that.

Hi girls.  I'm returning for a little while if you'll have me. :-\  I know I don't visit Susan's much, but I do have this thread bookmarked and look at it more often than not on Fridays.  Anyway I need help and there's no motivation around me to encourage doing what's right.  I've hovered between 208 and 213 for the last month, and that has really started to bother me.  Especially since some of the clothes that look nice on me are no longer flattering. :(   So ...  Finally got discussed last week and pushed it down to 207. 
Here's what I weighed last December from Page 1 and I'll just cut down from now on.  Goal is still about 170.

Kathy, what kinds of things do you do to lose weight?  What works for each person is very different, so let us know what works for you and we can help encourage you with that.

I haven't been able to post my weight for a couple weeks.  We just moved and my scale was accidentally packed away in a box.  So I won't be able to weigh myself for a few more weeks, and I don't want to use another scale that isn't consistent.

Also, you inspired all this weight loss, I would hope you can see how well you moved many of us in this community and find strength for yourself knowing your strength pushed us and can inspire a new round of weight loss recruits! (And a few who need to gain weight too!)

Whew, shook another pound, which will save me from what I believe could have been my first back to back weight gain week as I got into this holiday weekend with numerous events planned. One was dinner tonight with my best friend from the Marine Corps as he is visiting the area this weekend. I ate like a fool, came out to him (went well as I expected from him) and gained half of an old ass cheek. Tomorrow I hope to eat normal, but then Sunday it is off the the State Fair. All we do is eat and walk, and eat, and walk slow, and eat, and walk really slow, eat, and crawl home. So I expect to gain enough weight to piss me off and back into a serious effort again (as I have been just inching down, which is lame considering I am still technically obese.) My buddy was more surprised by my weight loss, last time he was here this time last year, I was around 315 maybe even 320 again as I was creeping up. So I am down about 100 from then, though I didn't really get going till January when I came out to myself and admitted I was transsexual (which is where my ticket starts from as that is when I started to actually care about losing weight.) Let's just hope I don't gain all 100 back this weekend!!! I hope my set back only puts me back one week (meaning what I gain I ditch the following week.)

For the last year I've been checking my weight everyday and I try to stay between 158 and 162, I have to try real hard to keep that weight on as it seems to be the "healthy" figure for me, at 6'2" I look to thin if I get down to 150 or less.

Sounds pretty much like me. Maybe yours will give me some push in the right direction.

We'll probably be pushing each other.  As long as we're pushing down it'll be ok.  :D

Thank you for the kind words Toni.  Yes, it's time for me to get serious again and stop the binge once or twice a week.  And I'll admit to total failure already due to a Friday lunch buffet with JoAnn, and prime rib dinner with my brother.  And there's more failure today but that won't be detailed.  I'm bloated and unhappy, but tomorrow is a hard work day in the yard so maybe that'll help.

... Kathy, what kinds of things do you do to lose weight?  What works for each person is very different, so let us know what works for you and we can help encourage you with that. ...

Oh my.  Katie, my diet is mostly starvation and heavy yard work.  A couple pieces of fruit in the morning, a salad at lunch (if I stop work to eat), and a full dinner at around 7 or 8 pm.  Always have one cup of milk with dinner, but the rest of my fluid is always unsweetened soft drinks or flavored water.  Luckily there's a lot of exercise with strenuous house repair and yard work, so I'm never really at a loss for some physical work.  But just haven't walked a lot lately, even though I've always loved to hike, explore, and find new places to photograph.  Lost 60 pounds between July 2012, and sometime around May 2013.  Then dropped another 15 pounds before the end of December when I started posting here.  There just hasn't been anything positive since then.   ???

I'll see your posts each week girls.  So here's to our success.

Love ya all.  K

Hi girls,

Just checking in. I see a few good results here this week. Toni, your making progress I see. Also I see some are having a little trouble. Losing weight isn't easy. Mine hasn't changed either, I'm still stuck at 118 myself but our weather here has broke so, I'll be able to start getting outside more. Work has also picked up some which also gets me out of the house. I hate these plateaus. They are hard to break through and so discouraging, which is why I've refrained from posting my weight for now until I start losing again. I've found that in my case, eating less won't break a plateau, only an increase in physical activity will coupled a long with a slight increase in calories. Yes, I  know how it sounds. But this tricks your body out of starvation mode, which is what causes plateau's, back to normal raising your metabolism out of starvation mode. It works for me anyway.

As always I wish everyone my very best.

Height:  5'11" (1.81m)    -    Age:  45    -    Target Weight:  Belly not protruding over belt, which I thought would be at:  165-170lbs  (75.0-77.3kg)

Note:  I had an emergency resection of my lower intestine on Sun 27/Jul after it was perforated when a femoral hernia detached.  This means that my main concern is making sure I do not eat anything that might bind me up, or distress the surgical repair in any way.  Losing or gaining weight is a lot less important than this.  So, even though I am still taking daily measurements, my focus is not currently on what those measurements are.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Sorry I missed a couple of weeks.  I was away last weekend with the missus (13 years married), & have been very tired since.  I still have a while to go before I am really over surgery.  It is frustrating to not be able to do so many of the ordinary things that I have been taking for granted for years.  I cannot even load bagged groceries into the car (yeah - I tried that earlier today - ouch).

I noticed that my belly still protruded a little even when my weight dropped to 161.2lbs (73.3kg) on Saturday.  Losing weight alone may not help that.  It is still a bit too soon for physio.

Also, at 163-164lbs (c.74.3kg), the bones in my face have started to look prominent, making me look a bit gaunt.  Time to stop losing weight & maybe even bring it back up a little.  165lbs (75kg) is looking like it may be a good target for my lower weight limit.

My appetite still has not returned to what it was.  I am only able to eat about half of what I could a couple of months ago.  I am not going to worry too much about this unless my weight keeps dropping when I do not want it to.  I am hoping that my weight will stabilize close to where it is at at the moment. 

My focus is very much on recovering from surgery.  I have not been eating nearly as much as I should be, but I am finding it hard to eat more than I am.  Checking in here each week will help motivate me to eat properly.

Welcome back KAT & KathyK.  It is good to see you here again.  I am looking forward to seeing both of you on the thread a little more.    :)

Toni:  You're doing great!  Do not let a couple of slow weeks convince you otherwise!     :icon_hug:

Paula, Michelle:  Maintaining your weight definitely beats finding a whole load of unwanted extra pounds to put on. 

Ally:  I think you're doing a lot better than I am able.  You have been maintaining your weight really low for a long time, and have kept your plateau within striking distance of your target.  You do not seem too happy with that, but I am impressed with how you do not let any discouragement you might feel turn into a multi-pound weight gain.

Katie:  Hope you are loving your new place   :D   

Thank you all for being here.  Seeing your posts helps me feel less alone.  (I would feel odd if I was the only person posting each week.)

Be well,

Tessa

Thank you Tessa, I really appreciate your words. They made me smile. :) I'm putting my makeup on getting ready for the 1 & 12 hour drive to go see my Endo this afternoon, but when I saw your post I had to reply. Yea I get a little discouraged with so little to lose and being prevented from reaching my goal. The weather here hasn't been helping because obviously I can't get out in the rain, and a certain medication I take makes it impossible to go out when it's above 95 degrees, and recently I've had both weather conditions to contend with. However, the weather has broke now, much earlier than usual but, hey, I'll take it. So maybe I'll soon be able to get outside more so I can break this plateau and reach my goal. I have to break it with physical activity, because I eat so little now without my vitamins I'd prolly be malnourished. So I don't want to cut my calories any. Doing so wouldn't break my plateau anyway. Only physical activity with a slight increase in calories will. So I'm looking very much forward to the coming months. I'd love to be at my goal weight for my SRS in December.

238.

I've lost about ten pounds in the last month, on the way back down after a stressful few months of school. Happy to be exercising again. I'm trying to remember to eat enough. My stomach has shrunk a lot, and a little bit of food has been enough to keep me going for a long time. I added up what I ate yesterday and realized that I only had 550 calories - definitely not a safe amount, but I really was full after the meals I had. I'm going to go grocery shopping to pick up some more fruits and get some ingredients for bigger, richer meals. I need to be eating a little bit more, which is absolutely counterintuitive to wanting to lose weight.

HOLY COW! And I mean COW! Marine Corps buddy and family in town for a wild weekend of eating and even drinking, drafting, and talking trash lead to a EUREKA moment. I am a fat ass and must learn to be always vigilant. You all will not even believe this, hardly anyone does including my Marine Corps buddy who witnessed the carnage. YES! I have gained 8 pounds back this week, BUTT, yes I said BUTT as in double wide mobile something or other, that is only a third of the story!!! So from Friday's weigh-in I expected to have a single dinner out, and then a State Fair fiasco, and get back on track Monday regretting the insanity. BUTT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I get into a frenzy, and figured I will be a lab experiment for the weekend since I have gone from 360+ about 8 years ago, to 320 about a year ago, to when I really woke up to my issues. Went from 305 starting this year to 216 last week, as I no longer have odd cravings and loose control, and certainly no longer have a death wish and eat recklessly (TYPICALLY, this weekend is the exception) anymore. I figure all bets are off, my buddy stayed at my place instead of a hotel and we ate the whole weekend as he is big like I used to be and me, I just wanted to make things seem normal as best I could (though I did come out to him and he took it like the fantastic person he is, made me feel that it was no big deal to him and explained why.) So I really did not have to eat like a bozo but did. So come Tuesday morning when I rolled onto the scale I weighed TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY BLEEPING POUNDS!!! How AWFUL! I did NOT expect that, no no no, not at all. That is 24 pounds of lard, pure lard that I packed on in FOUR DAYS!!! Now keep in mind I used to eat like that on every holiday weekend, AND then terribly in between days too. How was I not dead TUESDAY let alone earlier in life??

That whining being shared, I have to add that Tuesday I went back to normal, felt like garbage, then sick Wednesday as the food was oozing out of every pore, started to feel my old self come Friday finally when I got to work and had to share I slapped on 8 pounds officially as the 24 was not on my official weigh in day. Now I did eat poorly today, but I do suspect I will need more than the two weeks to recovery that I anticipated. I think I will not be 216 next Friday yet, but should be solid the Friday after as I expect to dip below 216 by the 19th.

I was kind of depressed when I was sick Wednesday, but that was not so much the slipping back so far loss wise, as I think it was the bad food still throwing my system off. Hey, lesson learned. Living proof of what CAN happen. And when done like this, outside of when I did it normally, you find out truly how badly bad eating can not only make you feel but obviously affect your health and weight. So again, for those few that ask me why I am so focused on losing weight before starting HRT it is because I need to have this demon in check first. I am just glad coming out and improved my life outlook so immensely that weekend like this that was once a Holiday norm, is now an experiment gone bad (I really thought I was going to be maybe 10 up over the weekend and close to 216 by Friday, wow was I wrong.) Now there were some other factors I think that played into losing control, and I honestly think I have a real good take on them now. If I can focus on curing these last ills or falling into weird patterns with old friends, I think I am well on my way to a controlled and healthier future. I do think stress and comfort came into play. A few of the folks around know, most still do not, but even the ones who know I for some reason try to put on my normal act of being a dudes dude and that is due to my still trying to become comfortable being out (which though I have come out to 13 folks now, it is still not out, and externally I am still not only fully closeted but still foolishly nervous of something being noticed before I am ready. Work, Wedding, and Weight being three of the major keys)

Anyways, I babble. Time to move on from this debacle and get back to positive living!

AWESOME WORK EVERYONE, even not losing as much as you may want this week, you all pretty much did great! VERONICA YOU ROCK!! I TOTALLY KNOW how amazing you are doing, and how amazing you are starting to feel! DO NOT have a STATE FAIR WEEKEND though!!! Unless you want to see how really horrible it truly does feel once you are accustomed to a healthier life style. It is eye opening. But seriously, your weight loss has to make you so happy so keep kicking butt.

LOL This is the first time gaining weight has actually motivated me and I see as a positive experience in a unusual way. But please ladies, give me until the 19th before I return to posting new lower weights again.

You ALL ROCK!! Go KathyK!! Here is a link to where I get my tracker from http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/ (http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/) in case you are looking for one. I got it from another Susan's poster somewhere.

Note:  I had an emergency resection of my lower intestine on Sun 27/Jul after it was perforated when a femoral hernia detached.  This means that my main concern is making sure I do not eat anything that might bind me up, or distress the surgical repair in any way.  Losing or gaining weight is a lot less important than this.  So, even though I am still taking daily measurements, my focus is not currently on what those measurements are.

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  Seeing myself look a little gaunt when my weight dropped closer to 160 than 165 has prompted me to reset my target minimum to 165lbs.  Right now, I am mostly concentrating on eating enough since my appetite has not really returned since surgery, and on making sure I do not consume anything that will bind me up.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

This past week has been difficult for me.  The level of pain from surgery in July went up quite a bit starting last weekend.  The amount of painkillers I need has gone back up a bit after steadily reducing for 4 weeks.  I am a recovering addict, so this is a little troubling.  I am very much hoping that there is not more damage.  And a little worried since some of the symptoms that I had before surgery have returned this week.  My abdomen has been quite painful and my thigh very tender.  Enough so that I have scheduled an appointment with my surgeon for Monday 8/Sep, but so far not so much that I have felt a need to go to the ER.

This coming week might be my last week on night-shift for a while.  It is possible that I might be reassigned to a team that works steady shifts in the same location each day.  If so, then hopefully the regularity of that will help with my diet.  For the past 5 months I have been on night-shift hours from Mon-Fri, then day-shift from Fri-Mon each week.  Some days I forget meals. 

Hoping to be able to give some good news next weekend. 

Be well,

Tessa

Quote from: Toni on September 06, 2014, 05:04:03 PMHOLY COW! And I mean COW!

Tuesday morning when I rolled onto the scale I weighed TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY BLEEPING POUNDS!!! How AWFUL! I did NOT expect that, no no no, not at all. That is 24 pounds of lard, pure lard that I packed on in FOUR DAYS!!!

If I can focus on curing these last ills or falling into weird patterns with old friends, I think I am well on my way to a controlled and healthier future.

I do think stress and comfort came into play.

A few of the folks around know, most still do not, but even the ones who know I for some reason try to put on my normal act of being a dudes dude and that is due to my still trying to become comfortable being out (which though I have come out to 13 folks now, it is still not out, and externally I am still not only fully closeted but still foolishly nervous of something being noticed before I am ready. Work, Wedding, and Weight being three of the major keys)

224.0 (101.6) on 09/05/2014 <--- The STATE FAIR AFFAIR
216.2 (98.1) on 08/29/2014
217.2 (98.5) on 08/22/2014
220.1 (99.9) on 08/15/2014
Pounds (kilograms) on mm/dd/yyyy

Wow!  Well done on losing 67% of the weight you gained.  You are already less than 4lbs (1.8kg) above your weight from 3 weeks ago.  It sounds like you are recovering well from your weekend. 

Comfort is also dangerous for me.  I drop my guard when I get comfortable, and then find myself unable to cope well with surprises.  I have found staying clean harder at these times than when I was under lots of stress.  I find that some stress helps me become more alert and focused.  When stress becomes enough to cause physical illness (eg: when I worked as a school teacher), then everything tends to fall apart for me.

Opening up to some people about being trans has done much to relieve me of stress.  It is wonderful to not feel that I must hide.  I have found much freedom in relieving myself of the burden of guarding my every move & word at all times with all people.  Work & Ireland are now the only places where I keep quiet about that part of myself.  And even then, not entirely. 

I like that you have found so much to be positive about from this.  You seem to be making a lot of progress emotionally, which I am sure will help with everything else.

Be well,

Tessa

Yep.  Keep doing whatever it is that is working, Veronica.  :)

Quote from: Eris on September 05, 2014, 01:01:55 PMI measured today at 150lbs. That's down from 170 when I started in February.
Now I am just jealous  :P    I would love to get back to the 147-150 I was at for about 15 years, but that does not seem advisable now that I am a couple of decades older.

Quote from: justkaty on September 05, 2014, 12:47:28 PM238.  I've lost about ten pounds in the last month.
I added up what I ate yesterday and realized that I only had 550 calories - definitely not a safe amount. 
I need to be eating a little bit more, which is absolutely counterintuitive to wanting to lose weight.
Glad to see you recognising that health is a whole lot more important than looks.  Hopeful that you will find balance between diet & weight.

Quote from: kathyk on September 05, 2014, 12:27:50 PMThis is what happens when I can't stay away from food, and hate myself for not pushing food away.  Oh that's right, I promised not to use the word Hate, so ... I really dislike myself for not pushing food away.

12/20/2013-  198
8/29/2014 -  207
9/05/2014 -  209
That is not a huge rise.  You can recover  :)   
I have found it helpful to regard any loss as a bonus, with success being just not gaining weight (or too much weight).  Sometimes I have found it helpful to redefine my reference point. 
How about looking at this week as your new starting point, with your initial goal being 197 or lower by 19/Dec/2014 ?  That gives you 15 weeks to lose 12 pounds, and be lighter than you were last year.

Definitely!  ..... So ... how did this week go ? ...  /hides

Quote from: Allyda on September 04, 2014, 11:13:44 AMThank you Tessa, I really appreciate your words. They made me smile. :)

I'm putting my makeup on getting ready for the 1 & 12 hour drive to go see my Endo this afternoon, but when I saw your post I had to reply. Yea I get a little discouraged with so little to lose and being prevented from reaching my goal. The weather here hasn't been helping because obviously I can't get out in the rain, and a certain medication I take makes it impossible to go out when it's above 95 degrees, and recently I've had both weather conditions to contend with. However, the weather has broke now, much earlier than usual but, hey, I'll take it. So maybe I'll soon be able to get outside more so I can break this plateau and reach my goal. I have to break it with physical activity, because I eat so little now without my vitamins I'd prolly be malnourished. So I don't want to cut my calories any. Doing so wouldn't break my plateau anyway. Only physical activity with a slight increase in calories will. So I'm looking very much forward to the coming months.

I'd love to be at my goal weight for my SRS in December.

Ally(yea I'm going back to spelling it this way cuz it seems how everyone else spells my knickname, lol!) :icon_flower:
Glad I made you smile Ally  :)

Those weather restrictions seem a tad inconvenient for a Floridian ...   :eusa_think:

My annual estivation looks set to continue for a while (my body thinks 70F (21C) is a hot summer day).  I look forward to winter every year.  When I was happy to get snow last April, there were some dark mutterings about trying to get INS to send this crazy Irish person back home.

I did not know you had surgery scheduled.  I hope it goes well for you.   :)

I'm proud of all you girls here for not giving up no matter what and striving to reach your goals. It takes courage to do that and y'all have it in spades.

@Tessa: Thanks again for making me smile and picking my spirits up. I have lost 2 lb's but I'm waiting to see if it's just water weight or a fluke before posting again. It seems my finger width was most affected as my rings are falling off. I lost one I really love yesterday(Friday) because of it.

@Alaia: Your doing great making steady progress healthily.

@VeronicaM: Great progress! You'll be at your goal in no time with great legs to boot. When I was able, running and riding my mountain bikes always kept my legs pretty and nicely toned up without adding mass.

@KathyJ: Yea, Tessa's right that isn't that much of a gain. You'll recover from it quickly and be back on the road to your goal in no time.

I have a feeling I'll be back here posting soon back on track for my goal of 105 to 107 lb's.

Take care everyone

i am very proud of you girls, and guys, too...  milestones we set, sometimes are unrealistic in so short a time we pick, 10lbs in a week, rather than in 2weeks, or even 10days... but every ounce you lose is a goal attained.  yeah we backslide, so what?  just have to work a bit harder taking it back off.

Make no mistake, I am proud of every one of you!!

my youngest wanted some...  daddy-daughter time...  probably one of the last, as...  dad...  so she convinced me to do Disneyland.  I conservatively guessed.. we walked abt 10miles across 2days.. well, stepping on the scale yesterday, 152.0. down 4lbs from Thursday, so Ill take it anyway I can...  I could do without the sore shins tho.

the time spent, tho..  I'd put on 50lbs just to spend more time with her.

JoAnn and I are taking a short trip to Yellowstone, so I'm posting really early.  Yes, we do like to travel together even though we aren't officially a couple.

8/29/2014 -  207
9/05/2014 -  209
9/11/2014 -  208

I considered adding some kind of very brief list showing my week's meals and exercise, but it may be too cumbersome. I'd also hate to have criticisim over my daily diet.

What do you girls think?
Is this just a bad idea?  Don't worry about saying it's bad because I have a whole lot of bad ideas.

Example
              Breakfast               Lunch                 Diner                                   Excer.
   Sun     2 egg omlet             Salad                  Salad, Spaghetti, fruit            Yard work 2hrs
   Mon     Eggs Rancheros       Salad                  Chile and crackers, fruit          Yard work 6hrs
   Tues    Nothing                  Tomatos, apple     Pot Stickers, Top Ramen         Yard work 2 hrs
   Wed.    Nothing

Those look like good ideas to me except for the nothing breakfasts, I mean if you are not eating you are not breaking your fast. Plus it gets the juices flowing. BUT, I am not criticizing as they do look healthy enough to me.

Have a FUN and SAFE trip. Not sure if I subscribe to the official couple idea, sounds too much like an institutional thing to me. However, I do get it, but think I would say I find more happiness in those I hang with and enjoy than anything else. So really enjoy your travels together, and the bonding that is simply going to occur with such a fun shared experience.

Way to shake that pound!! Down is the trend I hope for this week, but since I am not traveling, and need the extra day and a half I am waiting, hehe.

Again FUN and SAFE Kathy!!!

This last January 18th I weighed: 216.6

This morning I weighed: 159.0

I am 6'3". While my measurements aren't proportioned to where I would like them to be, my chest, waist, and hips, are all within the range of a tall CIS woman now.

Hello Ladies,

    I'm sorry I keep jumping in and out of this thread, and I'll try to do better. I've felt many times when thinking about this thread that I've been a liar by omission, just by not being here and giving and receiving support. Truth is, I've come up and down but never this low in the last eight months. I weighed myself a few months ago and just stopped for awhile, because I weighed 188. Now I really am going to keep up here. I need a place where I have to be honest about this. I can't just say it doesn't matter anymore, because for me, and coming from being thin and in shape or just drug thin for virtually my entire life until 2000, my weight, even as a mostly satisfied woman, is still deeply enmeshed in my self image. I'm getting everything lined up to get my GRS, hopefully in early 2015, and I want to be at the heaviest, 155, but really about 146. It definitely matters. Hugs, Mira

By the way, I had my hair done yesterday, and maybe it's that I'm mostly Scottish, but I finally did it, I'm finally a redhead!!! I think it works with my skin tone and I love it.

P.S. I've been looking at some of the weight loss progress some of you girls have had and wow! April, Tessa Marie, Alaia...you're all doing great, but really, even a few pounds is good. Half of this is often just finally caring enough about ourselves to care how we look to ourselves first, then others. So we're all doing great!

Wanted to look up my last post, been avoiding this topic for a bit. I'm finally back to where I was before Dr put me on Remeron and Seroquel which I got off of. Any way for todays weight when I got up I was 229, pushing to get under 200 first then eventually 180 and more.

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  Seeing myself look a little gaunt when my weight dropped closer to 160 than 165 has prompted me to reset my target minimum to 165lbs.  Right now, I am mostly concentrating on eating enough since my appetite has not really returned since surgery, and on making sure I do not consume anything that will bind me up.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Some good news from my doc:  The pain I had last week was not due to my hernia surgery.  Unfortunately, he does not know what is causing it.  His best guess is that it is something stemming from the biopsy I had last November, since he found lots of pain at & just below that scar.  I am very relieved that he did not find anything that needed urgent attention.

Work has been interesting, but still fun.  My hours shift a little this week:  I don't have to start until 6am.  That'll feel like a lie-in after the 1am & 2am start times for the past few months.

In other news, my parents have suddenly decided to book plane tickets for a trip to the US next month.  I had thought that it was good that my mum let me answer some questions about being trans last Sunday.  Now I am wondering what's up.  Hopefully it's nothing bad.  I might find out tomorrow when I call them.

I am now about 67 kg (147 lbs). I used to be 65 kg (143 lbs), but now it is difficult to maintain it, as I am getting old. Anyway I run nearly everyday. The sun here is very strong in fall.

LBM

Sorry, I am an engineer. In school we learned in SI and English system ( English is used mostly in practice). We were taught to use LBM for pounds mass so we would remember to us the gravitational constant if needed in an equation.

Your body is amazing! I envy you.
Thanks to years of depression and anxiety I've gained a crap ton of weight, and it's not fun. And because I never got treated for it I am basically a shell. No motivation. Nothing.

I wanna lose the weight so bad, but when it comes down to it I have nothing to push me out the door. Like my gas tank is empty or something.

I know what you mean Starla, as I was feeling that way about a month ago, though I was still squeakin' out a pound or so a week. I knew Labor day weekend was going to be a wild one due to out of town visitors and our State Fair. So I used that weekend to screw off, WENT overboard, but did kind of recharge my batteries. I have slowly been getting back into a rythem and think I may be starting up on a new push. Now I won't know for sure until a month or two from now, but I do feel like I am working up some new momentum. Even the setback of a couple of weeks in the long run seems like it may have been a helpful break that weekend. Plus coming off of it I have slowly ramped up, meaning that first week after it I did okay not stellar. Then a little better last week and nearly back to normal this week, but not pushing the calories as low as I had been towards when I started to feel my gas tank getting low.

Again, it is the long haul that matters, so a little break in the game to refuel could be the trick. And heck, I really screwed up royal that weekend, and learned lessons from it. That weekend I don't know if I will repeat, but the concept I will probably repeat again when I feel the gas tank down to fumes. The proof is not there yet, but I really do think it will come. If it pans out, I would think it is something to consider.

Nice work mzaomz!
Barbie setting the bar high with continued stellar success, with the best looking 2 KG weight gain in like EVER!
Cynthia, good to see you posting again, in an odd way it helps doesn't it?
Tessa the weight is holding good even with the trouble you are having. Still wishing you the swiftest recovery and clearing up of the pain. I know I still deal with core muscle issues from my broken rib in March, and your situation was far for invasive. Time is the key ingredient I think, unfortunately. But keep the steady boat rowing, you are doing great.
Keep plugging away gang, we can all meet our goals!

Uhm... I don't weigh myself that frequently, but I've got some record...

4   Aug '14 - 58KG (127lbs) - Started HRT
4   Sep '14 - 56KG (123lbs) - A month after..
20 Sep '14 - 55KG (121lbs) - Today

Should point out I don't do any exercise.. Otherwise I'd probably be quite a bit lighter, lol...  (I want to gain weight anyway.. So... :P)

Pic could be better... But it's as recent as it gets... This was on the 3rd of August... A day before HRT :)

Starla,

Outdoor exercise greatly reduces anxiety and depression. You may start with biking.

It is interesting that my transsexualism tends to be intensified after exercising....

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

This has been a quiet week at work, and my body is enjoying the rest.  Still taking some painkillers unfortunately, but very few now thankfully. 

My weight seems mostly stable, for which I am grateful.  There was a slight weight increase this week as I tried not taking anything to counteract the binding side-effect of Prometrium.  That was a painfully unsuccessful experiment, which I do not intend to repeat in a hurry.  There may be another weight gain today ... I found some Ferrero Rocher's I had hidden from the missus some time ago (ie: Easter).  The first tasted a little bit stale, so I naturally had to eat the whole dozen before they got any worse ...

Just got a call from one of my managers a few hours ago.  They are recommending that I be promoted to Team Lead for any future contracts, and, yes, they do know I am trans.  That was very welcome news to hear a few weeks before my contract is due to end. 

Apparently my parents had been considering a trip to the US even before I had to go to the ER in July.  That kinda decided them, but they waited a while in case I might think they thought I was dying or something.  Whatever their reason for travelling, I will be very glad to welcome them at PHL in 20 days.   :D

My wife is scheduled to receive all her final papers back for correction the morning after my parents leave to go visit my brother.  I am hoping the college doesn't decide to return them to her a few days early.  Having to be rewriting all her final papers during the weekend my parents visit would darken the mood a bit for everyone. 

Life is good.  I may even wander towards New Hope & have dinner with a few friends this evening ... the wife just gave me FPP (full planning permission) in return for me getting her a burger & some gummi bears now.  Life has been much worse, many times.

Be well,

Tessa

TY Barbie   :)

In terms of weight, yes, I think I am where I have wanted to be.  It's not perfect; there is still a slight belly; but I am comfortable where I am & I am at a healthy weight.  This mission is complete.  There may be another, but not just yet.

The conversation with my parents is still ongoing.  I am hopeful that they will be OK with how I am when they come to visit.  There is a part of me wondering if they are travelling to Philly so that I don't bring my C/D cups to Dublin ... I guess I will find out over time.

TY for the kind words!  Those are always nice to hear    :D

Well I just started seriously trying to lose weight, again, last week but...

Date             weigh in    Goal
09/12/2014    341.2        185
09/19/2014    337.4        185

I'm 6 ft even, 37, and have a fairly large frame.  185 is below what I weighed in high school and I'm guessing I'll have to go even lower eventually, but 185 is realistic for my age and height right now. I'm on the right track and quite happy as I'm tracking with Lose It's website and app and am aiming for at least 2 lbs a week, but if I can get more I'm ecstatic. I managed to get down to 309 2 years ago and then a fit of depression (I tend to binge eat to feel better) packed on 30 of the 78 pounds I'd initially lost.  Yeah I started this when I'd gotten up to 387 and was miserable.  Finally taking it seriously though and am working exercise into my routine including walking my dog as she needs it too. ;)

Yes. Tessa. A benefit of my transsexualism is that it has motivated me to maintain a good body shape by taking regular exercise and healthy food. I exercise for both health and beauty. And most women and some men respect me because I control my body.

More people will love and respect you, I am sure.

Nice start ashleyfivekay, and I was sailing in a similar ship as you. Just take it slow and steady, as you seem to have and you will keep ticking down. Already over 50 pounds down is awesome!!! That is more than one of those 45 pound plates people grunt to lift in the gym. Very nice work, glad to have you on the weight lost thread motivating and being motivated.

Right now I weigh 157.4. The turmoil in my present domestic situation seems to have caused me to lose even more weight. With the distress, I have just stopped eating pretty much.

Last January when I weighed in the vicinity of 216 to 217, I set a goal of 155, but I doubted I could get there, and if I did, it would takes years rather than months. I am guessing that at about 6'3 and 1/2", my weight / height ratio is now in the range of a typical super model. Unfortunately, the rest of me isn't up to such lofty standards.

well I guess I might as well jump in here too - prior to starting transitioning I was up to 292 last September - since then I started a long term plan to get down to 195 for surgery - as of now I am down to 248 so I am almost half way there - just another one of life's struggles

I am new to the forums and would like to hang out with the cool kids, Barbie (and all of you) are such motivation!

Just a brief history; I have suffered with my gender my entire life, but at 53 prior life and social conditions always seemed to keep me from my true self. Recently, I have made  the commitment to myself to move ahead in the process (therapist has given the blessing to start as soon as now!), but for entirely selfish reasons want to prepare the vessel for the "true, new me" prior to beginning HRT. At my age I want to do everything I can to finally be the woman I have always desired to be.

To that end, I am beginning the diet to end all diets (although being healthy but solid my entire life)

So: (at 6')

9/12      216
9/19      212
9/26      208

Like I said, Barbie's look is my motivation. Not sure what I need to weigh to present like that, but the initial goal is low 170's mid-January to begin HRT, with something in the low 150's a target. Tons of cardio eliminating weights for the time being.

Ideas for a six foot frame and creating a less muscular male to female persona??

Well, this morning (on a Friday yet), I hit the goal I set when I started my transition, exactly 155. Nine months ago, I weighed 217. A few years back, I peaked at 245.

While the poor lighting in the picture below is not kind to my face, it does show amazingly well what has happened to my body over the last 9 months. Now it is time to add a few curves to finish the job.

This is why I had to learn my hard lesson about the State Fair Food Affair. Gained 2.1 pounds on a relatively okay and healthy week, which does happen. However, when still trying to return to my pre-SFFA weight it is a tad disappointing rather than just water under the bridge. So OF COURSE I eat like a fool then today?!?!?!?  ??? Well, a good bike ride tomorrow and I will start the new week fast on my new bike! WOOT! There, spinning the positive to end the narrative.  Love yah ladies, keep up the motivating work! :-*

Note:  Still have to be careful about what I eat after hernia surgery.  I do seem to be mostly recovering well, and this is still my main focus. 

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  Seeing myself look a little gaunt when my weight dropped closer to 160 than 165 has prompted me to reset my target minimum to 165lbs.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

There was cake.
The cake was not a lie.
I ate some.
And then went back for more.
Oops.

Grrr.  Annoyed with myself for pigging out.  Granted, the gain I managed isn't near Toni's SFFA, but I don't drop weight nearly as fast as Toni can.  I also didn't actually eat that much - no time, I was working too hard.  My gain this week was managed with only 1 meal per day on most days, with porridge for breakfast on 3 days.  Not good.  Especially not good for my health.  Gotta get back to thinking about what I am eating again. 

On a more positive note:  I did go out to The Raven last Saturday & had a whole lot of fun with several trans friends.  I also got to show them why my wife forbad me from ever dancing in her presence again after our wedding night ...

Work has gone nuts again.  I am more exhausted now after 43 hours than I was doing 55-58 hours of a slightly different shift.  6am is a much harder start time than 2am, or even 1am.  It is just late enough for me to think it is morning ... but I have to set my alarm for 3am to get to work on time, which is defintely night-time, not morning-time.

Wife is still unbelievably stressed out over her finals.  She is half-way through them.

It is late.  I am going to sleep.

Be well,

Tessa

Yes! It is a great achievement. I can clearly see the curvature. Congrats!

That is extremely impressive April, and a great motivation to us all as well. I can only hope to get to where you are at, but with your example it certainly helps. Thank you for sharing.  :)

Went to a wedding this week and didn't find time to exercise on top of eating way too many sweets at the wedding.  Yes, I do lack self-control. :(

I did manage to get back down to where I was, so there is that, just not very happy with myself this week.

I actually lost weight and didn't even know it!

I am 6'1" and now weight 150. My former weight was 160. That's a 10lb difference but really makes me feel great. I think my goal is 145 but 150 isn't bad.

Okay, I needed to add my last friday of every month and remind myself when I started this and how well I did. I cannot say I have not been improving my health even though this last month has left me pretty much stuck. For I have increased my endurance, my body is still getting firmer, plus stronger in the right ways, and my flexibility has continued to improve. I just need to see some steady weight loss again soon to avoid falling into a funk, as I have tied a lot of my steps forward to my weight loss, not just my improved health. So hopefully looking back at how well I had been doing, and remembering my goal will get me back on a steady track down. (I do not expect to lose 33 pounds in little over a month like when I started, but would really like to lose 10 by the end of the month!!!)
Please wish me luck gang!

360+  at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 300 on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

Worked up in the mountains yesterday and missed posting.
Honestly, this is the same plateau I've been on for 9 months, and it's getting frustrating.  I've changed my eating habits to have a small meal for B&L, then a larger Dinner.  But I eat so much fresh fruit (too many oranges and plums) that it's self defeating. 

12/20/2013-  198
8/29/2014 -  207
9/05/2014 -  209
9/11/2014 -  208
9/19/2014 -  210
9/26/2012 -  209
10/4/2012 -  210

Got to stay positive, but now I have to go shopping for larger clothes. Kinda sucks.   :P

Oh my gosh!!!!  I don't know how... or exactly when, but how time in the past 8 or 9 days, I slipped under 150lbs!!!  Stepped on the scale this morning, and it didnt say, one at a time!!  148lbs, I teared up, but did not cry.  Should have, but.. it was my weight 25 years ago...  The past 19 days, I have been separarated from my wife.. so not eatting much.. guess thats the most likely thing.  But I'll take whatever I can get!  At just about 5' 10"... 140-145lbs would be nice, but I feel good, so.. I will just try to maintain.

Hiya girls!

Just checking in. It looks like many of you are seeing great progress! Congratulations to all of you here. Yes, I broke my plateau but now I'm stuck again at 117. :icon_anger: I'm still 5 ft. 5 in tall, and My goal weight is still 105 to 107-8(I'll see what works when I get there). Our weather here has finally broke and the stifling humidity, heat and rain that has kept me inside my home should be a thing of the past for the next 4 or so months so I'll be able to get outside more thus increasing my physical activity allowing me hopefully out of the rut I'm currently in and back to losing these last 10 or so pounds I need to lose. :eusa_dance:

As soon as I start losing again I'll be back. I miss this thread as it had become sort of a weekly ritual for me. But I just felt it counterproductive to keep posting the same numbers every week.

I just wanted to stop in and say hi, and to see how y'all are doing. Again congratulations! to all of you here. Hopefully I'll be losing again, and back soon. ;)

Note:  My insides seem to have (mostly) returned to something close to their normal.  My lifting restriction is over, but I still cannot lift very much compared to before surgery.  It ain't perfect, but things are a whole lot better than they were a few weeks ago.  I'll take it & be happy.

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  Seeing my face look a little gaunt when my weight dropped closer to 160 than 165 prompted me to reset my target minimum to 165lbs.  My weight then crept back up (with my all-too-willing help) by 2.7lbs over 12 days.  I am not happy that every ounce went to my gut.  Time to go find a little self-discipline again ... /sigh

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

I did manage to stop pigging out on cake, but I am still not eating healthily.  I notice that I have been losing a few battles against my weight & food cravings since my shift changed a few weeks ago from a 1am start to a 6am start.  Another reason to not like my new shift.  It is only for another month or two.  I can deal with it now that I have recognised how some of my behaviours have changed. 

Wife has to turn in her 4 papers for her MSc finals on Tuesday.  2 done, 1 within an hour or so of being done, 1 is half-written but fully researched.  She will get them done on time, and is beginning to see that.  The huge reduction in stress here has lifted a heavy emotional weight from everyone living in the house. 

Looking forward to my parents arriving from Ireland this coming Friday for a short visit.  When we visited them this time last year, there were not many changes from my 4 months on HRT.  I did not tell them I am trans until June of this year.  There are more changes now, and this is our first meeting since I came out to them.  It may be an interesting weekend, but I am very hopeful that all will be well.

Work seems to be going well.  I am receiving much positive feedback.  They seem OK with me taking some time to be with my parents for the few days they are here in Philly.  Fortunately, I only need permission to leave a few hours early on one day & to take a long lunch break on two other days.

I have much to be grateful for.  Now, where did I leave that self-discipline that lost me almost 40lbs ...

Again, Julian of Norwich's mantra is running through my head:

        All shall be well.
        And all shall be well.
        And all manner of things shall be well.

Be well,

Tessa

Just seeing a post means we are still putting in the effort!

I second this !   Thank you to everyone who is posting here.  I have not had much chance to browse through the forums these past few weeks; I just read this topic at the moment.  I love reading so many positive posts, even (or especially) when the numbers are being mean.  I find it harder to keep facing the numbers when they are not what I want them to be.  Seeing others do so encourages me to do likewise (& I am not just talking about my weight).

Quote from: Toni on October 03, 2014, 08:48:50 PMOkay, I needed to add my last friday of every month and remind myself when I started this and how well I did.

So hopefully looking back at how well I had been doing, and remembering my goal will get me back on a steady track down. (I do not expect to lose 33 pounds in little over a month like when I started, but would really like to lose 10 by the end of the month!!!)

Not sure whether or not this would help:  But if you send me as many date/weight pairs as you have (even approximate), I can put them into a graph for you.  I suspect the slope will be impressive.

Height:  6'3" (1.94m)  -  Age:  24  -  Pre HRT Target Weight:  ~165lbs  (75.0kg) - During HRT slowly going up to 176lbs (80.0kg)

I'm currently trying to lose some "leftover" muscle mass, especially on my shoulders. That's why i'm temporarily going down to 165lbs.
Hope to reach that target within ~4 weeks, that's the point were i'll start HRT and start to go back up to around 176lbs, which is my "normal male" weight.

9/19      212
9/26      208
10/3      208
10/10     204       Goal (I don't know, please read below)

I am 6', and would like a target goal for 165; but I really don't know women's weights at 6' to be lean and tight, and am wondering if a goal more like 150 is real, approachable and/or attainable. I can cross my fingers a bit over my wrist that predicts bones to be of the medium build. As i have said before, I want to go fast to a goal weight for my target date in January to begin HRT (have letter and already been approved by ENDO (she is so nice)), (the January date has personal significance, that is why the soooooo painful wait to get going, so might as well knock off the weight now).

Ideas, ladies??

I'm down another 3 lbs.. this is beginning to concern me..  I've lost 8lbs in about 12 days time.. and 20 since about June.

I was 148 Sunday, I'm 145 today.  I switched and began eating organic foods..  a lil bit smaller portions, but could that really be 8lbs worth??

If you are eating enough to get your nutrition and not purging I would say you are doing just fine unless you are not feeling well or getting light headed or winded at times. If you are, get in to see a doctor just to make sure you have a clean bill of health. The flu can do that, even simple dehydration. If you keep losing weight at that pace for another week or two and are not training hardcore, then you may want to get in then too. Otherwise, I think you are good to go and at a weight to height ratio many of us are aiming for.

2012 - hit my highest weight ever at 242 lbs, then came self-acceptance and a desire to express my femininity.  Started counting calories, eatin clean and working out six days a week.

2013 down to 190

2014 down to 183, then started HRT 2 months ago

10/20/2014 back up to 199.  I need to start eating right and exercising more!

I was sulking because earlier in the week I weighed myself and hadn't lost anything.  Then later that day I realized I needed a new belt because I was on the last rung and had a half-inch of space and they weren't keeping my pants where I wanted them.  So I was losing inches and not weight and I could deal with that for a week.  Then I hopped on this morning and there it was, another 1.4 pounds down.  Very happy dieter right now.

What's life if you don't take the time to enjoy it too, so I am glad you had fun with good friends KathyK! Ashleyfivekay you are doing marvelous, and inches, pounds, kilograms, and  millimeters seem to keep steadily peeling off. You will get there, as will I. My plateau weight loss wise is in weight alone as I too have lost a belt loop and folks are commenting again recently on my new weight loss which cracks me up. As weight wise, I have not really lost anything in nearly two months (really doubt I will get to 216.1 by Wednesday hehe) but I have tightened to the next belt notch and my bike times have improved steadily and I am lifting more (even as I try not to lift more lol, a weird catch 22 as I have to increase a little when it gets too easy, as my workouts were getting too easy and not taxing me enough.) All good things that we need to keep in mind when we go through these phases where the weight just seems to have parked itself on our asses and in our love handles!!!

Yes. Keep going on! But loosing too fast can be harmful to your health. Gradual weight loss would be better, IMHO.

Very true.  I've cut back and do some exercise but need to do more of both I think.  A year ago I was 195 lbs but still, I should do better as it's been several weeks at the same mark.

How I regret it taking a break, I have been under extreme amount of stress and anxiety the last two weeks, it explains the weight not moving, I suppose...?

Rather than miss an entire week and break a great streak of consistency, I am checking in a day early and it's good for me today as I sneak in under 220 at 219.7. This is good, as it will be a wild wedding weekend and I am gonna let my hair down (it is basically a military cut for the wedding, but the last one!)  ;D

Post by: RachaelAnne on November 07, 2014, 04:36:08 PM
So when I started thinking about wanting to become female again (didn't have the term transitioning in my brain at that time) one of the first goals was to loose weight.  I'm 5'9" and when I started my weight loss I weighed the most ever at 223 lbs.  It's been a long journey and still going for me.
Through the process I've hit several stalls or plateaus as my body had to relearn and readjust to a new baseline weight.  I'm currently at that point again and have been for almost 2 months now.  I'm getting a little depressed over it (happens each time I hit a plateau) , but this time its a little different, I've stopped counting calories on a meal by meal or even on a daily basis to see how well I've learned to readjust my intake.  I've been able to hold steady even with bowls full of Halloween candy at work and at home...

So here's where I've been so far...
Pounds (kilograms) on mm/dd/yyyy
223 lbs (101.2 Kg) 06/16/2013  (didn't record my weight loss after this until Mar 31 2014)
183 lbs (83.0 Kg)   03/31/2014  (started to use MyFitnessPal to help track progress and calories in/out)
177 lbs (80.3 Kg)   05/01/2014
170 lbs (77.1 Kg)   06/16/2014  1 Year lost 53 lbs!
167 lbs (75.7 Kg)   08/01/2014
166 lbs (75.3 Kg)   09/01/2014
165 lbs (74.8 Kg)   09/09/2014  * original target  :eusa_dance:
163 lbs (73.9 Kg)   10/01/2014
163 lbs (73.9 Kg)   11/07/2014

I'm very happy and proud of myself for loosing 60 lbs so far.  By doing so I've passed my original goal to get to 165 lbs.  I've also had to go out and buy new pants several times over the past year.

Now I have a new goal to get to at least 152 lbs before I start HRT if I can wait that long.  I've finish my evaluation with my gender therapist and expect her to write my HRT approval letter anytime I ask for it...

I know that I've started down the right path and have relearned some much healthier eating habits.  With that and exercise and HRT, I'm hoping that I will eventually get to my final target weight around 145 lbs.

Thank you all for your wonderful posts you've provided me with inspiration and renewed hope that I can continue down my path.
Anyway I'm planning to get back on the slow and steady weight loss train again starting this weekend and I'm planning to post here as a weekly motivator for me to keep going.

I left California on Tuesday afternoon and flew to Arizona for surgery consultation.  My new "birthday" will be September 24th, 2015. 
Oh so far away, and I've been eating too much since that consult.  A little depressed about the wait.

Anyway, I flew to Michigan instead of going back to California, so I'm in the cold UP and it's the wrong time of year to be here.  And most of all I really miss my girlfriend. Wish she was here, or wish I was there.  :'(

I have lost a belt loop and increased my endurance and strength, so I am actually doing ok. I do think more weight loss will occur soon. I have also been told that a plateau after losing so much so fast is probably a good thing. As long as I see improvements in overall health I am okay, even if I growl about not losing actual weight. I know improvement in health is what I really need both mentally and physically, and thankfully both are happening.

I know I'm at the moment way below my target weight of 105-108 lb's. Everything that isn't elastic is falling off of me and I can physically see this drastic change in the mirror. Plus my thigh muscle stood out plainly for this evenings injection. However, I've had a very bad case of the flu during the past 2 + weeks so my weight loss was due to sickness/appetite loss and not healthy diet and excercise.

So as I come out of this and regain my appetite it will remain to be seen whether or not I can stabilize at my goal weight. It's been more years that I can remember that I've ever been this sick so we'll see.

Toni I'm happy to hear your doing well. And it's nice to see the new girls chiming in.

Best of luck everyone. :icon_bunch:

OH ALLY I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR POST!!! I was thinking about you on my drive to Chicago as I posted a day early and was thinking how we had not heard from you in a bit. Sorry to hear you are under the weather though, but hope you bounce back soon!!! I hope your weight does what you want, but still have to say I think you are doing great over all and that is what matters. You have dealt with bumps but you look good, and your numbers seem to back it up goal or no goal. Just glad you are still posting and supportive to us all!

Sincerely,
Toni

@Toni;

Thanks. I weighed myself this morning and was right at 104 lb's even. Which is actually 4 to 5 lb's under my goal weight of around 108 lb's. My lil baby bump tummy is gone as I predicted but likewise as I'm so small up top some weight came from a place we don't want it to. Let's just say I'm back into my A cups for now.

However, this weight won't hold cuz my appetite has come back with a vengence and I'm eating Cream of Chicken soups, Chicken Noodle soups, and pasta/marinara dishes like crazy. So I just look at it as a preview of things to come when I lose it the right way through Diet and Exercise. I will try to hold it at 110 tho.

Nice work everyone, really great results Jessika!
Okay, now me, wedding week. I knew it was going to be a gain, but I honestly took it way to lax on the eating. The good news is just today already I noted I have shaken off a bit already and should be back on track very soon. Though this blip is going to look silly, thankfully I don't expect it to be as long a term setback as the State Fair Affair. It looks worse with my truncated recording in posts, but it should not be in the long term chart.

Okay, now me, wedding week. Though this blip is going to look silly, thankfully I don't expect it to be as long a term setback as the State Fair Affair. It looks worse with my truncated recording in posts, but it should not be in the long term chart.

Speaking of your long-term chart, Toni ... here is that chart I offered to make for you way back at the start of Oct:

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8YdEt0Z.jpg&hash=08f546fd3c0c6e4f2214d4e6cee46668fd294e19)

Apologies for being away for so long.  Work became intense and I found myself without the mental energy to make posts.

From the graph, you can see rapid weight loss (c.6lbs/week) for 7 weeks until you broke your rib in March, followed by 24 weeks in which you fairly consistently lost an average of almost 2lbs/week.  This had you close to being on target for your stated aim.  Then the SFFA hit you like a brick wall and you have spent the 10 weeks since on damage control.  I would be surprised if wedding preparations did not trump all other concerns for you several times over the past couple of months.

Now that you seem to be resetting your goals, if you can repeat your diet & exercise routine for the 24 weeks from March to the end of August, then you could be looking at being c.175lbs by early May 2015.  This does, of course, assume that you can escape over-feasting on Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's.  Christmas is easy enough (eg: 8oz Filet Mignon for Christmas dinner is tasty and won't linger as long as another turkey).  New Year doesn't seem to be as big a deal in the US as it is in Europe.  Thanksgiving ... well ... good luck ...

Now that I have done playing with your numbers, I should probably update my own.  I have at least been keeping daily measurements, although they do not make for pleasant reading.  I will start tonight, & probably post tomorrow.

These are the numbers I used to compile your graph:

Height:  5'9" (1.75m)  -  Age:  45  -  Target Weight on 31/May/2015:  155lbs  (70.5kg)

Oh that is a rockstar post!!! Thanks for the encouragement and the hard work on the analysis. I will do my best to put your hard work and advice to good use! :-)

I certainly hope with the wedding behind me and the new impetus I feel for moving onward does lead to a new phase in my weight loss. I was mentally side tracked and I do think there was some stress eating and some capitulation due to becoming somewhat careless and defeatist. Silly, I am sure, but still happened. I really do feel an odd self imposed hurdle is now behind me, and I feel like I an dig into steps I just was not willing to do until after the wedding. Now, back to removing body hair from most areas, trying to learn makeup, and having fun with my nails again. Permanent hair removal is on the horizon for my face, and that is exciting for me and long desired.

Again, thanks for the encouragement, I am feeling empowered again! Now lets see if I can put it to long and withstanding good use.

I have not been posting anything here for the past 6 weeks.  My life became very hectic for a while.  Some good, some bad - all of it stressful.  Ouch.

One positive is that I have continued recovering from my hernia surgery on 27/July.  I cannot lift nearly as much as I used to be able to, but enough that I am not too limited.  I had to bring an 84lb printer up the steps into my house on Thursday, and I managed it with some mechanical help (ie: dolley & pulley).  I was glad that someone could help me with the second one.  That did leave me needing to rest for an hour or two, although thankfully without needing any painkillers.

Another positive is that my wife passed her MSc.  She got that news while my parents were visiting my brother.  We travel to MD for her graduation 3 weeks from today.    :)

My parents visited in mid-October, right when I should have been making connections and planning for my next contract.  It was great to see them.  The timing could have been better:  I am only now starting to look for a new contract, a full week after my contract has ended, instead of 2 to 3 weeks before.  They visited me for a long weekend, then went to NY to see the town & visit my brother, returning to Philly for another day with me before flying back home.

While there were several reasons for my parents to come visit, I think that one of their main reasons was concern over me being trans.  I had told them in June via Skype, and there had been some more Skype conversations since.  They were concerned: partly for me; partly for themselves. 

During the first weekend, they got on very well with my wife & I.  We spent most of the weekend together.  I was my normal self, with no attempt to display that I am trans and no attempt to hide it.  (This is usual for me.  I present as male almost all of the time.)  My mum even said that "whatever I was going through" was just between myself & the missus.

They then spent some time with my brother during the week, and began to realise that me being trans affects a lot more than just the wife & myself.  My brother is hurting a lot.  He is very angry.  He is trying hard to keep our relationship alive, but it is difficult for him.  We have no sisters & no other brothers.  We spent our childhood, teens & twenties as each other's best friend.  Each of us was the rock the other could lean on when times got tough.  We drifted apart a bit when I emigrated, but we are still close.  Many times during the few days he spent with my parents, he repeated the line: "I only have the one brother."  I can understand his hurt and his anger.  I cannot change who I am to please him or anybody.  But I am determined to remain available to him always, come what may.  I am hopeful:  This week the brother asked the missus & I to join himself & his wife in NY for Thanksgiving Dinner. 

When my parents returned to Philly, they were quite shaken.  They needed to talk with me.  They started by demanding that I never set foot in Ireland under any circumstances in female attire.  They were particularly worried that I might appear at either of their funeral's as Tessa.  Apparently, "Sorry, I can't promise that," was not the answer they expected.  They did accept a 'guarantee' that, as things stand with me at present, I have no intention of arriving in Ireland in female attire and that I would make a point of not doing so.  The caveat I included was that, while I am not planning anything more than I am already doing, I cannot predict exactly how many changes will be brought on by the HRT alone.  I did not attempt to introduce them to the concept of male-fail, merely alluded to a small potential for same.  Some of my in-person trans friends have looked shocked at how awful this was.  Personally, given from where their attitudes started, I am tremendously impressed with how well my parents & my brother are handling the news that I am trans.  They are all still talking with me and they are still friendly towards me.  I am glad that they feel confident enough in the strength of our relationship that they are willing to tell me how they really feel, and still keep talking with me afterwards, even when I disagree with them.  They do not like that I am trans.  They do not have to.  All I ask from them is that they continue to include me in the family.  So far, that much has been willingly given.

The three of us (my da, my mum & I) sat down in my kitchen and spoke for 4 hours about how me being trans is affecting & will affect all of our lives.  They were grateful that I readily acknowledged that I needed to give them time & space to readjust their thinking.  This is very new to them.  I had 38 years of knowing that something needed to be addressed before finally admitting to myself what it was.  They had no idea that I had been fighting it off for those 38 years.  We all listened to one another.  We all felt listened to.  When my father said he felt that I was foisting acceptance upon them against their will, I stated that this is not a 'decision' that I have made, but rather a long-running battle that I have lost.  But that battle has been lost - I can no longer pretend that all is well.  The huge improvement in my emotional well-being from the (HRT) meds is a clear indicator that things are better for me.  They do now accept that this is not a random decision, but rather a reality that I am still learning how to deal with, 22 months after my first bit of acceptance.  The conversation was emotionally draining for all of us, but very, very helpful.

My parents' visit left me wiped out at the start of the penultimate week of the project I was working on.  It took all of my available mental & physical energy just to keep getting to work each day.  I guess my hard work paid off to some extent:  I was kept on as the only tech from my team for the final week to clean up whatever might be left.  That was exhausting.  I finished on Friday 7/Nov, but have spent most of the time since just resting.  Nothing as productive as, for example, writing a blog post, just resting very thoroughly.  And so now I find myself again without work, and I need to find another gig sooner rather than later.

6 weeks away from here, & I mostly write about just one single day.  It was a good day, though.  It is good to talk.

And now, finally, the actual topic at hand:

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  That remains my primary target.  Despite some weight gain, my belt has been well-behaved.  Much of the little bit of weight I have gained in recent weeks seems to be a bit below the belt, so to speak.  Now that I am off work, I am back walking again, for which I am grateful.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Between stress, poor eating habits and lack of exercise, I should probably be grateful that my weight did not rise higher that it has.  But I am not happy that I have hit 171.4lbs (77.9kg) twice within the past 10 days, and saw my weekly average reach 169.8lbs (77.2kg) last Monday. 

I am hoping to turn this around starting now, and recover that self-discipline that lost me almost 40lbs last year. 

Time to go for my 4-mile walk, with Julian of Norwich's mantra running through my head once more:

        All shall be well.
        And all shall be well.
        And all manner of things shall be well.

Be well,

Tessa

Tessa, I think you are managing swimmingly, and so is your family. It took us a long time to come to terms with what we are, and we are it. Thus, it has to take them a while. I am encouraged for you that they are all trying, and even your brother wrestling with it is what I consider a good sign. Too often I hear folks completely written off with no efforts from loved ones. Keep plugging onward towards happiness, and I think anyone who sees it cannot help but be impacted that it is true and thus meaningful and not to be taken lightly that this is you. You are amazing and wonderful, and I am sure you will have a new contract very soon!

Thank you for the kind words, Toni    :)

We are all coping better than I had feared would happen.  And I am doing better than many friends in similar situations.  I am frequently reminded of how lucky I am to still have my wife by my side, willingly and being supportive.

This week has been slow.  So much to do after putting in so many hours of overtime for 7+ months.  I am only beginning to really look for another job now.  Today I finally updated my LinkedIn profile so that the work experience matches my resume.  Still need to fill in the other sections.  I applied for a job that I got an email about, even though I was surprised to receive an email about a job requiring an ASA when I only have 2 exams passed.  It was nice to be able to fire off a reply I felt good about less than an hour after receiving the LinkedIn message.  I had been afraid that my depression was returning, but that does not appear to be the case, thankfully (very thankfully).

My weight has been mostly static, which is better than the rise over the past several weeks.  My OCD wants to keep seeing the numbers on the scales go down, but I realise that my weight is currently healthy, albeit at the upper range of same.  I was out as Tessa last night.  My belly needed some assistance (ie: shapewear) to not bulge over my belt.  Grrr.  More work ...

Initially, my target was the simple visual of not seeing my belly protrude over my belt.  That remains my primary target.  Despite some weight gain, my belt has been (mostly) well-behaved.  Much of the little bit of weight I have gained in recent weeks seems to be a bit below the belt, so to speak.  Now that I am off work, I am back walking again, for which I am grateful.

The rise seems to have stopped.  Time to reverse that trend now for a bit.

Speaking of which, once again, it is time to go for my 4-mile walk.  I am still keeping Julian of Norwich's mantra running through my head:

        All shall be well.
        And all shall be well.
        And all manner of things shall be well.

Be well,

Tessa

LOL.  146 -> 147 in 5 weeks is a tiny difference. 

I would be quite happy to be maintaining my weight that well.

Now you got me thinking:  When was I last 147lbs ? ... Oh yeah ... 1997 ... ye gods, it has been a while, hasn't it ...

I will take this week happily! Going into Thanksgiving week I needed a good week under my belt, and this fits the bill! I did slightly mess up my knee Thursday though. It makes walking hurt, but it does feel like it is just a low grade sprain. I am hoping a weekend of just light stationary biking will get it back in order. So close to my pre State Fair Affair weight, does remind me of how major a setback that was. Also the stress of a few more stressful life events from them till this week. Also, I informed HR of my gender dysphoria and how I would like to talk privately with two co-workers who are close friends. My local groups both said it was probably a good idea to privately let HR know first in case something goes sideways. Plus I am getting pretty close to laser and electrolysis efforts even before I commit to HRT (still have a lot of weight to go before I make an official commitment on that step.) Hoping to keep it below 220 next Friday, but lots going on the night before and then a couple of other events that weekend that could be tough to navigate. Wish me luck, as I do to all of you! And Happy Thanksgiving!!!  :icon_dance:

Hi Toni.  let's both keep our Thanksgiving under control.  It's the season of overeating and I don't want to be the one stepping on the scale just to start crying. 

I didn't know you hadn't started HRT.  It makes it a bit more difficult to cut out some foods once you're on E and Spiro.  Spiro especially makes me consume all sorts of salt that I'd never really over-used.  So ... once you start HRT I'd like to hear how you feel.  It's a giant step and I'm glad you're able to control.  I couldn't control my need for HRT and did all sorts of stuff to block T and enhance E before going to see doctors.  One of the first things they all said was "You've got to control your weight." 

So be good, and happy.  K

Oh I would love to be on my way with things, but when I decided I needed to address my gender confusion once and for all I happened to read a very interesting article by a gal who had already transitioned. I wish I remembered her and her blog, but I went and destroyed my first journal in a brief attempt to re-submerge my feelings as I had done my entire life. With that destruction I lost some good stuff including her contact info. As I had emailed her about her article on late transitioners and the special challenges they face (she transitioned relatively young but understood the difficulties age would bring.) She said first and foremost, I have to get healthy again before I start HRT. She explained the reasons, not sure all were scientifically accurate, but it made great sense to me in most ways. Thus I made my first step in transition a dual effort to get healthier both mentally and physically. I slowly have been making positive improvements in both areas this year.

I do have a few friends at one of my groups that are confused by my approach, who see their own late transitions as having missed out on opportunity and youth. They want to make sure they transition as soon as possible to maximize their time transitioned. I TOTALLY understand that, I cannot argue with that concept a single bit. However, for me, I still had doubts and questions, plus one thing I wanted to finish off as "dad" and that was give my daughter away at her wedding (which just happened earlier this month.) So as I improve my health, and have knocked out that major milestone and a few others, I have finally come to a point where I could accelerate my transition due to anxiety, that same feeling of losing more time, and simply desire. The reason I have not yet, is I had made a plan, I am still not healthy enough in my opinion, but I can move on to facial hair removal and practice of things I should probably be proficient at. So as I continue my weight loss and mental therapy, I can begin losing the dreaded facial hair and then start to see if I can do anything about this Marine Corps Cadence Calling Voice of mine, ugh.

Oddly enough, as neanderthal as I look, and dudish as I have been raised and can act, it is really my voice that will be my major downfall and disappointment I fear.

So I guess my patience in HRT is not so much my own ability to be patient, but rather my ability SO FAR to stick to a plan. Oddly, since the day I created the plan back in January, I have found comfort in that I have a goal and one I finally chose for myself to find self acceptance. So it too tempers and underlying demand that I wake up female NOW! LOL

I went 45 years fighting it, what is another couple of years of methodical change going to disrupt? My chances to maximize my passability are far gone, and if anything I am closing in on the age where I might actually have an easier time passing with age. Not that passing is paramount, but it would still be nice. I actually have enjoyed the journey thus far. Plus does the journey really ever end? Nah.

Nor do efforts to lose weight and stay healthy!!!  ;)

Love you Kathy, and all you gals!
Keep up the good fights, for happiness, understanding, and peace.

Your reasons are excellent and I see no flaws in what you've decided. I know some girls who've spent years living male while getting electrolysis, saving for FFS and SRS, and mostly to stick to a schedule they can work into the changes in family.  Transition has a lot to do with being comfortable with yourself, and understanding the woman you're finally allowing to surface.

Giving your daughter away is a very big deal.   And looking back more than three years I'll admit that I still feel good to have continued the fight against Dysphoria for a few months past my son's wedding.  At least he has those photos of his wife and he kissing while having a toast with his mother and father in law, my wife, and me (his fat old bearded dad).   

I've got many hugs for you lady.

My achalasia has been acting up lately preventing me from eating anything other than soup and soft food. Not much nutrition in soup, so as a result I've been losing weight uncontrollably. I dunno what to do if I can't take in enough calories to maintain weight. I prefer to eat healthy but what can I do if I can't swallow it?

My Doctors know about this. I just hope I don't lose too much weight before they decide what they're going to do about it.

Sorry girls I just needed to rant a lil. I'm getting worried as I'm only 116 now(at least I hope I'm still there).

I know they are not the ideal way for getting vitamins and minerals, but I see just a basic multi as a cover my butt approach to at least get the minimums for a reasonable price. Even if I pee some of even most of them out I don't feel too bad, like when I used to take expensive ones and pee'd fluorescent yellow at times. LOL

Thanks Kathy, you so rock, and certainly lift me up. Before Thanksgiving too, which is needed as already this week things have been loosey goosey with events tempting me. So far, I think I will just be a few pounds up come weigh in Friday. Totally manageable. I did not know you did a similar fighting off of dysphoria, that is helpful to me, as I have grappled with it with limited success. Enough to keep me from doing anything rash and outside of my plan, but still with great anxiety at times. I love walking and thinking things out in a meditative way, but sometimes the dysphoria and the what ifs get going and it can be distressful.

Wow, so great success posts. From baby steps down, to maintaining, all good things to read about from the weight loss ladies.  :-*

I saw 172 on the scale this morning and 172.5 on the gym scale yesterday. I am going to try to hold that until Friday. The holiday is going to make it extremely hard though.

188...not sure if it's my dad's old scale or if I really have gained 5 pounds in the last month. Ugh. Looking to drop it in the next two weeks.

Welcome to the thread, Arden ... & to Susan's    :)

I have found that eating healthy food (ie: home-cooked) and making time for exercise (eg: walking 1 hour per day) seems to make it easier to maintain a healthy weight.  Given what you have written in other threads, I suspect you will see those pounds melt away.

Be well,

Tessa

Much as I liked seeing 165.0 on the scale this morning, I am not dropping pounds healthily just now.  I think my insides are in sympathy with Ally.  There has been a fair bit of pain since last night, near where I had surgery in July.

My GP has recommended a GI doc.  Someone hit me if I haven't made an appointment with the GI doc before Tuesday ....  /sigh

Be well,

Tessa

Yes Toni I always take my woman's One a Day vitamins along with my Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamins whether I'm sick or not. Today this thanksgiving I've been able to eat no problem. My achalasia flair up seems to be subsiding. I'm about to go back for seconds, lol! :icon_wave:

Well, I saw it coming, and can even live with it since most of it was from yesterday.
Plus none of it was "Snips of snails, or puppy dogs tails!" It was all pretty much "Sugar and spice and all things nice!"
So it was a very enjoyable Thanksgiving, and I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to partake in such a Thanksgiving feast.

Found out recently that I developed hypothyroidism which runs in my family. Since it's normally in females I wonder if being on estrogen for so long triggered it. I just got put on synthroid so I'm hoping that it's going to help push me to lose more weight.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

I seem to have halted the inexorable rise in my 28-day average over the past 10 weeks.  I am hoping it keeps dropping from the 168.8lbs it reached last Sunday.

My weight is a little higher this morning because my insides aren't providing as much throughput as usual.  I suspect this is due partially to the prometrium, and partly an aftereffect of abdominal surgery.

Thanksgiving does not seem to have affected my weight much.  I ate well yesterday, but no more than that.  The very leisurely 2.8 mile walk I took with my brother & brother-in-law was a bit too leisurely to count as exercise.  So I still went for my regular 4-mile walk when I got back home, and managed to finish it in less than an hour this time.

Toni:  Your 28-day average dropped slightly (to 221.8lbs) this week for the first time in 7 weeks.  You are restarting from a good spot.

Kat:  I was put on Synthroid for hypothyroidism a couple of years before I even admitted to myself that I might be trans.  I am still on a low dose, & my TSH levels have been steadily within normal range for the past two years.

One of these weeks I will get around to adding Julian of Norwich's mantra to my signature, until then:

        All shall be well.
        And all shall be well.
        And all manner of things shall be well.

Be well,

Tessa

In June 2014, I weighed in at ~214-215 lbs.  Actually started earnest effort at exercise and gradually lost 20 lbs.  Got down to a low of 189, briefly before Thanksgiving.  Crept up a bit after that.  As of today,  Friday 12/12/2014, I'm at 193 lbs. 

Height is 5' 10".   According to the BMI charts, I should be 174 lbs. However, I suspect that target is a bit on the far side of reasonable, as at the peak of my health  while running daily in my 30's, I weighed in at 180-185.   However, that was with (comparatively) gobs and gobs of T running through my systems. 

We'll see where things land now...    All I can say for a fact is that I'm feeling better and my stamina is noticeably improved.   It's nice being able to climb 9 flights of stairs without feeling like Death is breathing down my neck.  :-)

137.6 this morning so I'm holding steady. The past three weeks I've added running/walking on a 2-10% incline with a 40lb pack twice a week to my exercise routine. Trying to get in shape for snowmobile season and then hopefully maintain my edge to carry over into next hunting season.

Excuses, excuses, excuses, as I was at a winter holiday dinner with a big group of co-workers, just last evening. Not to mention the goodies already are showing up at work for the festive season and I may or may have nibbled on some of the molasses cookies, and coconut drops dipped in chocolate. I meant to say I may or may have... May or may... OKAY I DID fail to avoid them. It could be a rough month as I still have a few more gatherings, one biggie in Chicago when I go visit my daughter and her husband. All in all if I can get out of the month at anything in the two hundred and some teen, I will consider it ok. Also, exercise has been slow, as I nurse a messed up knee. I still walk on it, sore as it is after, but have forgone lower body resistance exercises, stretches, and stationary bike as it had worsened. It seems to have improved a bit today, but that may have just been the ice cream. Did I just say ice cream?

I stopped calculating BMI because I actually lost height, not sure when and how.
1lb/week, I'll take that. Not sure how much of that is muscle loss though.

Still dropping, and I really did not hit the gym this week and I actually ate more than I usually do. This is odd. Muscle loss from HRT maybe? Since I (re)started HRT my appetite increased.

 I've got no excuse.  Been working hard the last week and I drop to around 212 during the day, but them I eat dinner around 8pm and my wake-up weight is always high.  Cutting orange juice and fresh fruit (except maybe an apple at night).

I stayed the same this week. 12/12 I was 161lbs, and 12/19 was 161lbs. I'm giving up fountain pop after the holidays and that should help, plus I really need to find time to start working out again.

Good luck everyone, happy holidays to all, and remember to eat sensibly!

Eek! And I am just heading into the bad week of the month. I did not do any exercise due to the knee besides my lunch walks at work and then finally an upper body work out Wednesday and a minor stationary bike ride last night. Considering my festive eating, I still did far better than decades past, a minor positive but it obviously can be improved on. I have little to no wiggle room with my expectation to keep things below 219.9 for the end of the month.

So I am now reliably dropping a pound a week, or my scale is broken.

It's really weird because with HRT my appetite has skyrocketed and for Christmas I ate a ton of food. Yet I'm not gaining weight, I'm losing it. It could be muscle loss as well because sometimes I hurt like I just finished some intense weight training at the gym.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Apologies for disappearing for a month.  I got a little lost inside my head for a while (stupid computer game).

Playing computer games for several hours a day does not seem to make my weight go down.  Imagine that.

I have recently discovered a women's NA meeting only 4 blocks from my house.  The meeting has been there for 8 years, but I only found out about it 3 weeks ago.  They are accepting me as Tessa, despite my masculine voice & features.  I have been receiving nothing but warmth from my NA family since I came out as transgender in June 2014.  Speaking of which, I should start getting ready.

Regarding my weight:
I am tempted to allow my weight to rise a bit to see where the fat wanders to.  Fear of "the return of the man-gut" might counter that temptation.  Although that has obviously not been the case over the past 3 months.

Until Friday,
Be well,

Tessa

Ok age 39
Height 6'
When I made up my mind to transition it was November 26, 2014 and I weighed 225 lbs
Currently I weigh 196 lbs
Goal I am thinking 130-150. All I know is I want to look the part that I feel.
How I get there well smaller portions about 1100 calories a day intake and gym 7 days a week and just running on the treadmill no incline.  I just let the miles stack up.  Hoping to find my weight before I see about HRT as I hear it is harder to lose then.

Today because of Jessica in an around about way, I have discovered I have been making a big mistake. I have lost track of my real goal, which is better overall health, and got caught up in the weight loss game. I have become more involved in losing weight, and stopped just letting things come to me as I discovered myself. Does this mean I need to stop posting here? No,but I will re-focus on what this is all about and am kind of glad I reset things to January of this year in my last post, it fits with this eureka I had. I know I want to get to 155 before I start hormones, but I have been sweating the roller coaster I have going on here. Not to mention, then getting so off track about what I am doing day to day weight loss and eating wise, I really have failed to focus on advancing me in the other areas that I need to. The things that aid in making me happy are the things that get me to being more authentic. Yes, I really do want to lose more weight, but is it really about health when I start to stress about my transition? Probably not so much.

I am just grateful in responding to a facebook post to Jessica (the well known one on this site who welcomes so many so nicely) that I had this eureka. I have a funny feeling this is going to lead to a new progress in my weight loss anyways. I really have been stuck since I landed in neutral around the State Fair affair when I stopped doing anything else as I put stipulations on moving forward. Sure, recently I did a couple practice runs with makeup, and a few other things half heartedly. These do not help, they actually lead to doubts and more stress.

Why do I mention this? In the hopes it may help others who might be stressing about weight, because they too, put too much emphasis on it rather than just the right amount. Keep things in focus ladies, don't fall into a pattern that makes you unhappy, and neutral does that to me. So back to progressing in my transition, which is still baby steps, but at least steps.

Sincerely,
Toni

Thank you for the reminder Toni.  I run into the obsessive behavior over weight more often than I care to talk about.  Getting healthy is far more important.

Hmm. Stuck at 170. But to be fair I haven't been exercising. I need to find a new gym as it is embarrassing using the men's locker room at the work gym and I really don't want to use the women's yet as I haven't fully come out at work yet. I might have to suck it up and present male but change in the stall or shower as I'm uncomfortable about going topless now.

Title: Re: Friday weight
Post by: Beth Andrea on January 16, 2015, 08:05:18 PM
Preface to myself:

I need to lose at least 40 lbs, preferable 60, for my own desired body image and for the upcoming SRS. (Sometime in late 2015)

My goal is to do this in 6 months (16 June 2015) by reducing calories, portion control, and walking (with some light running as play, not a pursuit). Ideally, I'd like to walk 3 miles a day (which is about an hour's worth) in addition to cutting out nearly all sodas (except 1/week).

For now, I will use this BMI calculator (http://bmicalculator.cc/?gclid=CMPXiLzzmcMCFRWVfgods5oAuQ), just because I found it on Google and it is easy to use (and for consistency).

Current Stats as of 16 Jan:

Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 243.8lbs
BMI: 33.1
Waist measurement: 46"  :(
Bra band size: 48"

Weigh ins will be on Friday (weeks begin Sat, end Friday)

Date..........Weight...........BMI......Notes (distance, time, frequency, other)

Now isn't that a lovely layout? I'm really good at doing this, not so good at actually following through. Time to make it happen!

2015-01-16: 160

(I started spironolactone mid-week this week, so I think there must be some water loss in there, despite my doing my best to keep my nose down in the water trough)

Preface to myself:

I need to lose at least 40 lbs, preferable 60, for my own desired body image and for the upcoming SRS. (Sometime in late 2015)

My goal is to do this in 6 months (16 June 2015) by reducing calories, portion control, and walking (with some light running as play, not a pursuit). Ideally, I'd like to walk 3 miles a day (which is about an hour's worth) in addition to cutting out nearly all sodas (except 1/week).

For now, I will use this BMI calculator (http://bmicalculator.cc/?gclid=CMPXiLzzmcMCFRWVfgods5oAuQ), just because I found it on Google and it is easy to use (and for consistency).

Current Stats as of 16 Jan:

Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 243.8lbs
BMI: 33.1
Waist measurement: 46"  :(
Bra band size: 48"

Weigh ins will be on Friday (weeks begin Sat, end Friday)

Date..........Weight...........BMI......Notes (distance, time, frequency, other)
23 Jan............242.4.........32.9...........Baseline week, no exercise, ate as always (4+ fast food events, over indulged on meatloaf) Score:  :(

I don't know how this happened, but I seem to have lost nearly 5 lb in 3 days. My exercise and diet were both out of whack until Tuesday, when I had inched back up to 198 lb. I got the diet back on track but not the exercise yet, but when I weighed myself today, it was 193.2 lb. It's been the same machine, similar clothes etc every time. Still wondering if the machine is faulty. :P

Thought I might jump in here and post my results from the last year.

February 2014: 261 lbs, heaviest ive ever been.
October 2014: 208 lbs, from March till October it was radical lifestyle change. Eating less, exercising more. Death of my father led to a lapse; 70+ day binge drinking and poor eating habits led to a gain of 12 pounds.
January 2015: 208 lbs, less drinking, still eating more than I should of things that I shouldn't.

My goal: 185 pre-HRT. Alaska winters don't help, but I plan on dropping 15 lbs before April and another 10 or so through the summer. I have a lot of upper and lower body muscle mass that will atrophy naturally on hormones, so by the end of 2015 I hope to be a healthy 165-170 and stay there.

Ps. I'm 5'9", 30 years old as of mid next month. A tip for weight loss success: Do not diet. Lifestyle change. Only make changes you can live the rest of your life happily being devoted to. Hiking saved my life.

Started estradiol this week. This supports my theory that there was a temporary jump down after starting the spiro the preceding week. Interestingly, I plot my weight (sampled irregularly but more than weekly) along with a linear fit, and currently the fit to all the data goes exactly through my starting weight and today's weight. That works out to 1.6 pounds per week, which seems like a pretty sustainable loss rate.

(Rolling averages are a better indicator of progress than single data points.)

Another month lost to that same stupid computer game ....  /sigh

Life has improved recently:  After 12 weeks without work, I finally have another job (which starts tomorrow).  Another Win7 migration, but this position has the possibility of being contract-to-hire. 

My wife & I are still getting on very well with each other.  This evening, she even helped me buy some clothes at one of the local Deb stores that are closing down.

On the 20/Jan it was 2 years since I sat down with my wife & told her that for 38 years I had been hiding from the fact that I have always wanted to be female.  Her reaction was to hear me out, put aside her anger & hurt because I looked so scared, and then say to me:  "We are going to get through this.  Together."  So far, we have.

My NA meetings are going well.  Although the ease & comfort with which my home group members are referring to me as "Tessa" is somewhat unnerving.  I still present as male most of the time, and have not yet fully internalised the intensity of change that social transition involves.  That transition may be arriving a lot sooner than I had been anticipating.  I have only been taking very small baby steps, but there have been a lot of them and they are beginning to add up.

Regarding my weight:
It turns out that planting my butt in front of a computer for 12+ hours per day was a good way to gain a few pounds.

Some of my clothes are not fitting as well as they did a couple of months ago.  Worse:  My belly is once again obscuring my belt !

I seem to have stopped the weight gain (for now).  Now all I have to do is lose the 5 pounds I found this past month, & then tackle the other 5 pounds I found over the previous 3 months.

Until Friday,
Be well,

Tessa

When I started transition a little over a year ago, I was around 220. I have been in the 155 range (give or take about 4 pounds) since early September. I have a couple of basic rules. When I am over 155, I eat very little. When I am under, I eat slightly more. And I dance everyday, whether at home or at the club.

Was thinking my goal was 130 but seeing others goal maybe that is too low.  All I know is I want to look good.  Right now I am feeling great about my progress.  Just wish I could get everything else to go as well.

At 53 I am just getting started on my journey

Ht 6'2"
Wt 220

A few years ago when I was running every day I got down to 180. I thought I looked a little too thin. So I'm not sure what my target range is but I think 165-175 may be good.  The ideal weight calculator says 160-172.

Preface to myself:

I need to lose at least 40 lbs, preferable 60, for my own desired body image and for the upcoming SRS. (Sometime in late 2015)

My goal is to do this in 6 months (16 June 2015) by reducing calories, portion control, and walking (with some light running as play, not a pursuit). Ideally, I'd like to walk 3 miles a day (which is about an hour's worth) in addition to cutting out nearly all sodas (except 1/week).

For now, I will use this BMI calculator (http://bmicalculator.cc/?gclid=CMPXiLzzmcMCFRWVfgods5oAuQ), just because I found it on Google and it is easy to use (and for consistency).

Current Stats as of 16 Jan:

Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 243.8lbs
BMI: 33.1
Waist measurement: 46"  :(
Bra band size: 48"

Weigh ins will be on Friday (weeks begin Sat, end Friday)

Date..........Weight...........BMI......Notes (distance, time, frequency, other)
23 Jan............242.4.........32.9...........Baseline week, no exercise, ate as always (4+ fast food events, over indulged on meatloaf) Score:  :(
30 Jan............242.8.........32.9...........No exercise, ate as always (4 FF events, no overindulgences) Score:  :(
6 Feb..............240.7........32.6..........(Feb) Walked 1 mile 3x, 3 FF events, no overindulgences Score:  :-\

360+  at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 300 on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.

Congratulations on the progress!

If you are 6' tall, then I think 130 is definitely too low. That is in the "underweight" range of BMI. BMI is a pretty crude measure, but unless you are *very* slightly built, I don't think you'd want to go down there. I picked my target as at or slightly below the middle of the "normal weight" range, somewhere around a BMI of 21.

Progress, though I think this is in part due to spending Wednesday miserably nauseated in bed, slowly dehydrating. I'm really hoping it's my cold and not going to be a long-term experience brought about by estrogen! Also, finally measured myself carefully and I am 5'10 instead of 5'9...

A few years ago when I was running every day I got down to 180. At 6'2" tall thought I looked a little too thin. So I'm not sure what my target range is but I think 165-175 may be good.  The ideal weight calculator says 160-172.

As a bonus, my fasting blood glucose tested 100 this morning. That is like the lowest I've seen it since I started testing! I'm elated because I'm diabetic and I never thought I'd see that number.

Protein!! Lots of it. Cut out soda and sweets completely. Drink a lot of water. Six small meals a day. Walk 30 minutes a day. Use the stairs everywhere you go, park as far from the store as you can. Anything to increase your activity.

Breakfast for me yesterday was an 80 calorie Banana Cream Danon Light Greek Yogurt and a Fiber one Bar. Lunch was a 100 calorie Greek Yogurt and Fiber One bar. Protein shake for mid-morning snack. Dinner was a cup of left over pasta. Protein bar for a mid-afternoon snack and a Fiber one bar for an evening snack. Today I had one hard boiled egg and a slice of bacon for breakfast, protein shake for a snack, lunch will be a stuffed green pepper, protein bar for afternoon snack, finish the pasta tonight for dinner and Fiber One bar for evening snack. Drink cold water whenever you feel hunger pangs because it will help!

Thanks.  Hunger pangs are my biggest thing.  I just have to work through them.  I've cut out soda and I've greatly cut back on sweets.  I hate yogurt. [emoji37] But I have been increasing my protein and reducing carbs.  Exercise is up.  Glad to see I'm on the right road.  Thank you!

Hunger pangs suck but a few big swallows of water really do help and it keeps you hydrated so double goodness!

Hmmm... I was not feeling well this week and did miss a workout. Thanks for sharing the tips Wynternight, and your progress and lifestyle change is exactly what I have been working towards. So your wisdom is greatly appreciated. I have the water part down, but I still get too wound up with anxiety sometimes, which is my real weakness as I do stress eat too often still. That being said, I remember when I was getting help for weight loss before I found my real problem. They'd read a list of reasons that may be what triggers my eating and once they got to the end of the list I said "yes."
"To which one? Or... Did you mean all of them?"
"Yes, all of those and a few more." I laughed.
I really enjoyed eating and "so what" if I died right? At least that is how I felt then.
At least now I get irritated with myself when I screw up and use it for motivation to imporve. Also, steps of my transition have also aided me in getting out of ruts. It does come off slower now that I have lost a lot, but it is also the bad half of the year for me (fall and winter) and I have not really done that bad. Your tips and story will help!! Everyone here is awesome, but you are definitely one of the All-Stars on this thread!

A few years ago when I was running every day I got down to 180. At 6'2" tall thought I looked a little too thin. So I'm not sure what my target range is but I think 165-175 may be good.  The ideal weight calculator says 160-172.

This last one was kinda iffy because I didn't do my usual weigh-in right when I wake up. That was my weight last night at some point, around lunch today I was at 154. I'm going with 152 because I don't want to acknowledge that one.

I had diabetes and developed insulin resistance. I could shoot a whole vial of insulin and nothing would happen. My cost for all the drugs was over $350 a month after insurance. On the little paper that comes with these drugs, a side effect is always listed: weight gain. I didn't know what to do. I was going to go blind or something because I couldn't get my glucose readings down. Doctors were helpless. Finally, I threw out the meds and decided not to feed the beast. All simple carbs that could be turned into glucose were out of my life.

I quit eating grains and grain products. I also had this urge to not eat any more meat. I lost over 100 pounds over three years. Now I'm wearin size eight pants and loving it. I'll never go back.

Oh, and now, they are telling me that I no longer have type II diabetes. Yeah, right. But I'm off all those meds and wearing really cute clothes!

I started HRT 4 weeks ago and stopped watching my portions...

Bad idea, but I also have a lot going on emotionally at home out side of transition.

At my last weigh-in I was 165 lb.
Well this morning I decided to step on the scale and...

I'm 168 lb.

Time to start working toward my ultimate goal: 145 lbs.

Yeah. It's great that the weigh-in for this thread is Friday morning, because we do pizza on Friday nights and usually Indian on Saturday. Both are salty enough that I am probably 3-4 pounds of water heavier by Sunday, and it's all back to normal on Monday. It'd be demoralizing to record a weight during the weekend bloat!

I usually weigh myself every morning. This morning I was 161. Yay! I didn't eat much at all yesterday maybe a small helping of pasta, an egg sandwich for breakfast and leftover cheese pizza. I reduced my portions which seems to help.

Very awesome!!! I know the feeling on the A1C, and my microalbumin test showed my kidneys healed up. I sure wish I weighed what you do, but I have a longggggggg ways to go there. Cookie baking does NOT help, LOL!!!

Have another great week ImagineKate!

Thank you Toni!

Not for nothing transition has kicked me into gear about my health. I have a GREAT medical team at Beth Israel in NYC who not only do my HRT but also my primary care. They are awesome and the nurse practitioner who sees me is an absolutely wonderful caring and compassionate woman.

I diet and exercise and take care of myself because I absolutely love being a strong healthy beautiful woman.

And I want to stay healthy for my upcoming voice surgery and SRS down the line.

Jan 2015 - 200lbs
Feb 2015 - 205lbs (after 2 week vacation to florida only 5 lbs aint bad)

my goal is for about 170lbs but as of right now im pretty happy and i have done most of this with eating healthy but i have been stuck here for a bit so i think with spring coming it may be time to clean off the old bike and finally hit that goal

Missed last Friday due to travel. Things had been holding steady for a few weeks, then jumped up because I took a road trip to get my facial electrolysis, which was accompanied by spending a couple days holed up in a hotel room with ice on my face and nothing to do but snack. Between that and fast food (and a very welcome stop in St Louis for bbq), the semi-diet kinda got blown wide open. It looks like thiings are finding their way back, I suspect a lot of the weight was just water from the big salt increase. Back to the exercise bike again this week, finally.

Felt really good about my downward trend.  Even if it wasn't really consistent, it was a good sign that I was on track.  Then yesterday happened.  After eating a big breakfast and working outside in the rain and snow I thought I'd be fine.  But, I finished the evening with an unnecessarily big dinner, and about two pounds of fresh fruit.  Yesterday wasn't a small fail, but it was a GIANT FAIL that showed up first thing this AM after standing on the scale. 

Oh hell, sometimes I hate myself.  Can't even stay on a program for a month.   :eusa_wall:

Still at ~160. I am yet to break below but most mornings I am 160-161.

I may stop at 155 and maintain that weight. That will be the top end of a healthy BMI and I don't want to be too skinny.

Oh Kathy my dear, I so know your pain. My Easter baking disaster, turned into an Easter week (or was it weak) disaster. Lots of trouble with my mom, making for trouble in the brain, and when that happens I eat. Compound that with a quad injury that had derailed my resistance training and lots of travel for work making my walks too intermittent, and damn I have serious make up work to do (edit: oh snap, I missed this chance at a pun, or is it make-up work I need to do?  :P) The great news is I was not going to join a weight loss challenge at work, but a friend would not relent and got me signed up. Of course I started strong and continued my melt down, which ironically centers around ice cream (get it melt??)

I know you can recover, you show more history doing so. I really am showing a poor history of it, which was one of my transition concerns. I need to get back to allowing myself to express who I am. I have been avoiding all the things I was doing when I was happy. I have not been shaving, dressing, and certainly not applying any makeup which I find relaxing and rewarding. I need to turn it around with this post! I continue to look to you and all the other gals on this thread with glowing admiration and do know I find strength in all of your stories, both successes and set backs. Trust me, if I did not I would not keep posting here, and trying, trying, trying.

I love you all for trying too!

Tomorrow I am going to run to the top of the highest mountain in my country.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallasan

The course will be about 18 km (11 mile), the altitude difference will be 1,375 m (4,511 feet).
I expect that this will be enough to wake up from the winter.

My running on Sunday.

It took about 5 hours for 22 km (14 mile). By walking, it usually takes about 10 hours.

In the uphill course. The course is very stony, making it difficult to run.

Wow Andrea Linda, that is inspirational success. It is also extremely impressive how rapid your weight improvement has been!! Keep on rockin babe! :-)

You do look "hot" and I can only imagine how awesome it feels to look at yourself and say "Hey I am finally seeing who I am meant to be!" Which you certainly have done. To be at the tweaks and squeaks part of your journey must be very rewarding. You go girl!

Wow. That's impressive. I sometimes hike 10 miles on level ground around my town, but climbing a mountain must call for being in pretty good shape, all right. The beautiful scenery must make it worthwhile, though. I think if I lived there I'd give it try, too.

Hi all!  I haven't been around here for a while.  We moved and my scale got packed away and spent 8 months in a box in storage.  Of course it's still possible to lose weight, but somehow the ritual of the daily reminder with my scale makes a real difference to me psychologically.  Has anyone else noticed that?

So today, I'm admitting that my weight crept back up (especially the last few weeks) because I've been lazy and haven't made a consistent effort to get it under control.  I've done well for a week here and there, but I haven't changed my lifestyle back to the good habits I had established.  So now I have my scale and I'm going to start tracking my weight and food in my "Lose It" app.  Wish me luck!  :)

Yes. The mountain shows unique scenery depending on the season. I love May and October.
I am going to the top again through a different course next weekend with my graduate students.

Post by: DrummerGirl on April 19, 2015, 09:00:41 AM
Height: 5'4"
Initial weight: 220
Current target weight: 145
Final target weight (after muscle loss): 125-135

9/15/14 - 220
12/1/14 - 189 (start of HRT)
4/17/15 - 155

Total loss: 65 lbs. in 7 months

Like Barbie, I run a lot.  My normal routine is 5 days/week @ 5 mi/day, 1 day of walking (5-10mi), and 1 day of rest.  Sometimes I run more and sometimes my body gets burned out so I'll take a week long rest with just a few walks that week.  I eat what I want within reason and try to stay around 1500-1700 calories/day with around 50g of protein per day.  Up until recently, I was losing about 10 lbs. a month, but now that I'm close to my target weight I'm slowing down my weight loss to a pound every 1-2 weeks.

I still have way more muscle than I'd like so I'm keeping my final weight goals flexible.  For now, I'd just like to get down to a body fat percentage that looks good with my current muscle mass.

I stand 5'8". I've had a battle at 140lbs for quite a while. Today I weighed myself and I have been the lowest since I started my current HRT meds more than 5 years ago...

137.4  :icon_tenisclap:

I've been exhausted for the past week and had some kind of stomach sickness that was a contributor to my weight loss. Not the healthy way to lose weight but I'll take it.

It's difficult to loose weight when I can't even control eating fruit several time a day.  And other than shoveling dirt behind a retaining wall there just hasn't been heavy labor type work in three weeks. My girlfriend, Renee and I have plans to walk several miles a day and then start light jogging if we get in shape, but other things get in the way (her 8 to 5 job with almost daily unpaid overtime). But then I'm living and working at my wife's house 15 miles down the highway towards SF, so it's not always easy to get together on a schedule. Renee is also overweight, but has a very feminine body type and it make me jealous, yet I can't wait to be seeing the slender woman she's got some pretty big plans to be.  I've asked if she wants to join this thread ... no reply yet.

I stopped tracking here lately, but do check in and want to let you all know I support all your efforts! My efforts continue as well, even if not tracking. I have gone down a little since last posting, a very, very little, hehe. However, my main focus has changed and I have started my next phase of transition (HRT) prior to reaching my weight goals. All my lab work shows such a dramatic change from the previous two decades, and even my diabetes related readings if viewed without my history of 11.0+ A1Cs would make you think I was not diabetic (4.9.)

So I guess I have achieved the goal of better physical and mental health and felt confident enough to proceed. Please wish me luck and keep posting the inspiration as I will keep checking in to load up on some!

I saw Raven's post and HAD to make a celebratory post, as that is so encouraging and EXTRA inspiring! Very nice work!!!

A few years ago when I was running every day I got down to 180. At 6'2" tall thought I looked a little too thin. So I'm not sure what my target range is but I think 165-175 may be good.  The ideal weight calculator says 160-172.

Hey, I'd thought I might join in for a little mutual encouragement.  I actually started back in Jan when I first started HRT so I'll include those numbers since I started.  I'm also including the bodyfat measurement from the scale.  I have it at on female athletic.  Not really sure how accurate it is that way but with HRT the male setting probably isn't accurate either.  The real number is probably somewhere in between.  I just got serious about losing again a week ago so hopefully there will be a steady downward trend with my closer attention to diet and macros.

Haven't posted in a month, and I feel kind of like an outsider in my own tread. LOL.  I've been very busy enjoying life, and unfortunately food and pleasure got in the way of loosing weight.  A few too lazy days and a bunch of restaurant visits (with limited exercise).

I must now get serious about loosing at least 15 pounds since GCS is scheduled in 12 weeks.

6/26/15      215  I have been so busy with transition but glad to see I am still the same weight
7/17/15      217 215   Ughhhhh going the wrong way. I started progesterone last month and was told it might cause some weight gain.  I'm just going to have to run more. Back to 215 after another 3 mile run tonight


* I started HRT the begining of this week.

A few years ago when I was running every day I got down to 180. At 6'2" tall thought I looked a little too thin. So I'm not sure what my target range is but I think 165-175 may be good.  The ideal weight calculator says 160-172.

I decided to add a little weight and see what effect it would have on the boobs so I went from 147 to 162 and it pretty much went all to the boobs. I'm pretty happy with that but the number on the scale isn't that pleasing. I'm going to go to 155 and see how things look and probably maintain there.

While I was busy taking care of life and love this thread seems to have met it's end.  But at least it was very quietly and simply put to rest with a latent lack of interest.  :)

So to put this thing to sleep for good here's my final post. 

July  3, 2015     210 lbs.
Aug 11,  2015    204 lbs.

I hope everyone is doing well, staying healthy, and living happy.

Take care. 
Kathy
