Title: Fat redistribution so soon or is getting fat just new to me?
Post by: MaidofOrleans on March 05, 2013, 02:12:38 PM
So as you can tell from my ticker i'm a little over a week into my 5 months mark for HRT. I've always been a skinny person and i'm not use to having too much extra fat. Lately I've noticed a lot of fat piling around my hips and i'm wondering if this if female pattern or I am just becoming a chubby for the first time. I've also noticed my butt has gotten plumper  :P

Ignore the ugliness, it's my I just woke up on my off day and don't give a crap look  ;)

It definitely looks like you are starting to take on a feminine shape.

If it's on the hips, it's female. If it's on the waist, it's male.

Can't be positive, but this looks quite female at a first glance.

And I just have to say I'm jealous, as someone born fat.

Nope, I agree with Sammy. Your face does look very feminine. It's probably just because you're looking for masculine things. I have a fairly naturally feminine looking face, and some days I only see "male".

Definitely fat redistribution in the female pattern outerwise it would all be in the stomach
And yes defiantly female face and Iove the hair cut it looks great.

Yes my belly has been the same but my various sides have begun to bulge  :P

As for my hair, thanks! It kinda just does that on its own when I brush it.

I would definitely say from that photo that your getting more shapely! Congrats!
I've always been overweight and cant help but worry that when I start hormones I will balloon out, but I'm getting into real good habits now and making exercise one of the most important things in my day so hopefully I will be able to hold it.
You have a very feminine face too, very nice! I wish I had hair like yours, my hair is curly and thick, I straightened it once when it was a bit over halfway to my shoulders and it bounced back to curly within 2 hours! I'm cursed! hahahaha
But YOU are looking great!

My face has definitely changed. I looked back an old photo of me and compared.

This is me about 9 months ago right before coming out

Seriously I had to donate about 10 pairs because of this.

I think I've lost hip size :/, like 0.5", still the same weight (I think), but I've also lost some on my arms I think. No increase in bust size... so the places the missing fat could've gone to are quite limited -.-
Not sure if I had a more feminine fat distribution pre-HRT... starting to seem like it.

give it time. the great pilgrimage of fat cells has only begun.

it's a mysterious pilgrimage. kind of like how the hebrews somehow got lost for 40 years because god gave them commandments instead of directions.

muuu, the way we measure hips is a circumference around hips and butt. Losing some there might just mean you've lost some butt, presumably muscle.

Maidoforleans, as a pre-t ftm, we both have the exact same hip shape, so it def seems like fat redistribution to me.  :)

You are definitely getting a more feminine shape, you kinda remind me of one of my step sisters when she was young  :)

They're fascinating pics. Probably up there with the most fascinating comparison mug shots I've seen. Looking at isolated facial areas nothing looks different, but all of those nothings combined somehow produce something.

Thanks Girls (and Guy)

I just realized I wrote I was a "skinning person"  :embarrassed:

I just wanted to correct that I have never skinned anyone or anything  ;)
