Title: Anyone just started losing weight on E?
Post by: lostandconfused on April 14, 2015, 01:57:20 PM
I've noticed a funny trend since I started hormones. I'd eat like crazy for a few days, then steadily lose weight for 2-4 weeks, ultimately settling down on a weight lower than before. Since I've started hormones I've lost about 2 pounds a month with no changes in exercise. Anyone else experience this? Everyone tells me you usually gain weight on E.

Yes, I have. Not just pounds but it's as if someone has a shrink ray on me.

Seriously, my guy clothes hang off now and are ridiculously large...

So it must be muscle loss.

Weight gain? I've tried and failed. But I kinda have to watch what I eat.

What I like to eat has changed, weight has dropped around 20 lbs over a few years, but no massive changes. I did already control my weight before HRT anyway

I hear the word exercise I lose weight even on HRT, no matter what I eat

I buy a pair of jeans they would perfectly, a month later they're a little loose. A month after that I'm looking at 2 sizes smaller.

Haven't changed my diet I'm losing weight but also growing up top so, you're not alone

As someone said, the explanation could be muscle loss.
