Does weight loss hurt the effects of Hrt? I started hrt in September and lost a little more than 90 pounds since then. I feel my face was more feminine at 4 months than at 6 and a half. Really this could be me just freaky out a bit. I'm just a little worried that my diet might be to much while on hrt and negating its affects.
Thanks

Um, it can affect some things. For example, I've been losing weight a lot -- I look great, actually -- the only thing that happened was that my breasts actually went down in size abit. Yet, 'cause I'm much smaller now, it still doesn't look "bad." I'm not uber worried about my breast size, but it's really annoying that I only have one bra that fits, and a ton of my close are lose on me. I look good otherwise. I have a nice waist line, etc, and other girls have been jealous of how skinny I am.

At first I experienced weight gain (like ten pounds) mainly due to water retention, but everything normalized after six months thanks to an extra diuretic besides the aldactone! :P
Nowadays I'm still under a small dosage of estrogen, but my weight is pretty much under control. I carefully select what I eat and use my treadmill on a daily basis.

I was getting worried about my face. I was a bit dehydrated think that made my face look different. And loose skin on my face which looks awful I will have wait for my skin to tighten up. I think have to lose 60 more pounds at least.
Hey Natalie I saw your picture over on a different topic you look great.
Kiera is that over cream the counter? I thought about ordering some from Puritans Pride for my face.
Thanks for the replys,
Anna

I never weighed enough to lose 60-80 lbs.
I may have lost five lbs total. Maybe!
I went from 149 to 144...not a huge difference and still a size 6 (and in some cases a 4).
Then again, I never had much muscle mass...so there was not much to lose.

Went from 188 -> 158 (I'm 6 foot tall and rather muscular with a very small frame
A lot of my weight is muscles, so I look slimmer than my weight would make you think).
Went from size 12 in tops to size 6!
In bottom went from 10 to 3-4!
I'm guessing I'll finish at around a size 2-4 in tops and bottoms... and weight about 140.
I'm currently 35-26-37. Originally was 39-32-39.
