Lose weight or stay plump?

Weight has been creeping up over the past few months.  About 10lbs, which pushes me uncomfortably into an "overweight" BMI.  Of course, BMI is just a guide and doesn't account for person to person variations, but I do feel chubby.

The problem is, if I lose weight, I suspect I'll also lose some of my ass and boobs.  Maybe some feminization of my face too.  I could stand to lose a little (um, maybe a lot) of stomach fat - it's a little "muffin toppy" at the moment, but not too bad.

Thoughts?  Shed a quick ten pounds and reevaluate?  Worry about other things instead of my figure?  How was your experience of losing weight in terms of how it may or may not have affected your feminization?

No advice just sharing a similar story line and thanking you for those preferable euphemisms like chubby and plump vs fat ass!  Now about that quick shedding of ten pounds?  With a guy's hormones and physiology i could skip a meal or two and those 10 pounds would fall but, not anymore!  I feel hungry all the time and indulgence is a frequent response.  Please let us know what works for you.

I too would not want to lose any curves but how healthy are we with a BMI of like 27 in my case.  Food for thought and the safest thing i eat lately ;) ;D

Yes, it's most certainly a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't".   You have to add body fat to develop a nice rack, but it doesn't always go there, so you end up losing some weight and along with it go some of your T and A. 

It seems that yo-yoing is the only thing that works for me.  When the bewbs shrink up too much for my taste, I hit the carbs.  They grow again, but eventually I find too much fat where I don't want it at all and I have to shrink up again.  Lather, rinse, repeat. 

Oh well, gaining weight on purpose can be a lot of fun.
