So, I haven't been around lately. I lost the internet for a few weeks switching services, so that was interesting. I received my letter from my therapist for HRT back in late July, and after calling about 10 different doctors, the earliest I can get in is the beginning of November. Instead of being pissy that I can't get in a little sooner (was hoping for THIS month lol) I decided to just focus on what I can do in the next couple of months to make HRT as successful as possible.
I figured laser hair removal will work better on my man hairs, so I bought a laser and just did my first full-body removal, and I will have 2 more treatments (at the salon) on my face before then, so that should also help nicely. I'm hoping to lose a little more weight before then, although people already think I looks sickly because of how much I have lost.
Right now I am at 150lbs, but began the year at 212... I'm hoping to get to 135ish before I start HRT. Then I am going to probably gain some weight and hopefully it goes to the RIGHT areas!
Anyways, the countdown has begun for me! I'm very excited.
November 3rd is the day :)

Sounds to me like you are addressing the main issues very well, especially in the attitude department by choosing a positive mindset. GOOD GOING !!!!! :eusa_clap: Dani
