Hi My name is Kendra,
As the title states I'm a 39 year old transgender woman. I've been living full time for about 3 months now, and have found what I think is a good therapist. I live in Peoria AZ have been married for 12 years to a woman I love very much and who supports and takes care of me better than anyone ever has. We have 5 kids total between our 2 previous relationships (3 mine 2 her). My biggest regret is not trusting my loving wife enough to come out sooner. Unfortunately I have an extreme slippage in my lower back which is causing intense sciatica too which I have sat around and let myself get even more out of shape. I had no desire to fix myself Because I wasn't happy with who I was and I thought I got what I deserved.
I'm 6' 1" 370 lbs as of today at my heaviest I was 460 lbs so I am working on the weight lose. I have a lap band installed and portion every meal I eat now. I also walk with my wife every night. I realize with my weight issue I'm not a candidate for hormone therapy at the moment so with that as incentive I will continue to work towards that goal. I found a group that meets once a month locally so I'm going to go this month. Like I stated above my wife has been nothing but supportive. My mother and sister not so much, to them this is just a "stunt" to get attention. I'm having a hard time dealing with that they both know what a depressing existence I've had and now that I'm happy I'm doing it to get attention?
Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and give a bit of my back story this site is a wealth of knowledge and I'm soooooo happy I found it.
Cheers
Kendra Anne

Hi, Kendra, welcome. Sounds like you have a pretty amazing wife there. And congratulations on the weight loss. I'm a big girl myself and I too have been losing weight to get ready for HRT. It's quite the incentive to lose the weight, isn't it? [emoji6]
Keep it up and good luck! Hugs!

Hi Kendra, Welcome, lovely to have you here :icon_wave:
You should be very proud of your weight-loss, and to top that, having a fully supportive wife and family is really good.
Well welcome and enjoy joining the forums...
