Hey Hey,
I have read Wiki and a large number of personal stories and posts so I may already know the answer to this. I also know that this will vary from person to person and genetic back ground. I have to ask however!
I've noticed a substantial change in my waist. Now this is the female waist I'm talking about which is supposedly an inch above your belly button. I've gone down to a 35. I used to be a 40. I'm eating well and I work on my stationary bike. I always tried to stay active but I never had any success like this. I would just wobble from a 40 to a 38.
Is this from the HRT? I'd like to think so (/laugh). Emotionally, I want to believe it's the meds but intellectually, I think it's the exercise. Maybe it's both but it's all good.
Samantha.

While HRT does distribute body fat to a certain degree, I would have to agree with you that it's probably attributed to healthy eating and an active lifestyle.
