How long were you on HRT before you started visibly noticing fat distribution shifting, or noticed it by having to either alter old, or buy new, clothing?

Thanks for answering!!

Slightly around the first 3 months or so... but I really started noticing the changes around month 10

I've only been on HRT for two weeks. But I'm curious, what exactly is meant by fat redistribution? Where does the fat begin to go? Am I likely to gain or lose sizes?

lets see, just short of being on HRT for 2 months.  my thighs have gotten thicker, my semi athletic male stomach, smoothed over rapidly, my abs disappeared rather quick, the muscle is there, but a smooth layer of fat filled in the puck marks that made them defined and popped out, tho ive noticed the muscle has reduced abit lately also. But the first place I noticed it was in my groin, it was just skin and bone around their, and it got some soft fatty tissue build up.   if your really curious, I every friday, measure my thighs, my calfs, my hips, my stomach, my upper and lower arms, and my chest.    and keep a chart just so I know where things are changing,                 it really helps keep up the motivation and the spirit,   you might not see the change, but the numbers wont lie.

my calfs


Did you notice any reduction on them? Mine are gigantic, and with hopes HRT will eat a bit of the muscle on them...
