start T? I wear a size 10 in womens and a 34,36 waist in mens with a 28,29 inch inseam. I plan on losing at least 20 pounds before starting T.

In what way did T morph your body? Did your clothes sizes go up or down?

Well peple are individual ...
its possible height changes, some people say it increased an inch...

its possible muscles are easier to obtain...

well it might be a good idea to stick with second hand clothes for a while ...
since its possible sizes change...


hugs

I went from a 38/29 to a 34/29 in pants. My shirt size went from small to medium in most brands, or large in brands that run small through the shoulders. I used to have a list of the size of various measurements on my body, but I don't anymore. I do know:

- Biceps both increased by 2" without lifting
- Neck increased by 1.5"
- Shoulders increased by 4"
- Thighs decreased by 4"
- Waist decreased by 4"
- Lost 30lbs
- Decreased body fat by 8%

I'm picky about clothes, and it could be 5 or more years until I start T.

You lost 30 pounds just from T or did you work out?

Just T and a slight diet change (drinking 100oz of water per day).

Right now I take care of my grandmother and when another relative can come and take over her care and relieve me I will start going to the gym daily like I did last summer. I usually workout 2-3 hours total a day. I mostly love cardio machines but after cardio I try to spend at least 30 minutes to an hour on weight machines. Sometimes I just get in the pool and tread water for 20-30 minutes after cardio and skip the weight machines. My life is on hold now and when my life is my own again the gym and church will take up the biggest part of my free time.

I also rarely eat a full meal. A 100 calorie cereal bar for breakfast then hurry to the gym. An apple and a few crackers for lunch, and a can of vegetables for dinner. That's the way I did it before. I gained 20 pounds cooking normal meals for my grandmother and I ate with her.

Yep...
flushes toxins out of the system...
gives you minerals....

just use a good water ...
after all the body consists to a large part of it so you might carry parts of it around with you for quite some time  :)

Hey there, don't know if I'll be of any help since I'm not on "real" T but I have done a lot of things to help and I went the natural transition route for a while.

Since I started everything, my legs have gotten smaller and my thighs aren't as obvious as they used to be (which was very) and my weight is a bit more even. I'm anywhere from a S to an XL in shirts depending the fit and store, but I'm consistently not able to get pants... anywhere... except for leggings in this nice shop called Produkt. I don't think they sell online, unfortunately, but they're great for long legged people like myself. I have a 36 or 38" inseam, last time I checked (I really don't remember). I've tried a lot of brands and the only jeans that fit are Levi's (barely, I plan to get a custom pair...) and New Look in the UK (they have a few stores that seem to carry men's, but not too many. Their jeans are androgynous enough I guess. I stick with what fits best) since they do have some really good jeans, and I still pass with them. Women's jeans don't fit as well as before now, but men's aren't too great still. If i lost some weight, it might change a bit, but not too much.

  As for body changes, I don't sleep as well, I'm less anxious, my skin got really bad but it cleared up and it's in the middle now, my sideburns almost reach my chin and the hairs on my top lip are slowly turning black. My hair colour actually changed a bit too, going from mousy brown/blond to being a bit more red than before. I lost 8 pounds or so, which isn't a huge difference for me, but my chest is waaay smaller and a lot of people have noticed. I have more muscle mass in my shoulders now too, and my arms are stronger than before. So, many good changes and a few not so great.
