So the last couple of days I've felt like my arms and shoulders just look a bit better in my shirts.  My shirts fit better in general, especially in the sleeves, and I told myself that they shrunk in the wash (since most of them are new).  And then I put on my leather biker jacket... and the sleeves are shorter.  MUAHAHAHA my shoulders and arm muscles are wider/bigger/whatever after all!  Yeah, okay, its pretty miniscule, but after weeks of feeling like NOTHING is changing, I am soooo happy!  It's also good to know that I am not insane!  I am not going crazy staring at my body and thinking there are changes that aren't really there!  Woooooooo....

Sorry, I had to express my undignified excitement SOMEWHERE, and my family just looked at me like I was nuts and made a "talking to crazy people" sort of comment about how, oh yeah, my arms look REAL good (and it is time for us to back away sloooowly).   

Congratulations 

Some mtf people report a shrinking in size...
and a shrinking in shoe size...

so the opposite could be true for you 


big *hugs*

You're right, you aren't nuts!  After one week my forearms tightened up (enlarged) to where they would be if I had been working out on a regular basis prior to taking T.  It was WEIRD.

If you haven't already, take some measurements and before photos. I'm very camera shy, but the measurements speak for themselves. I was so certain that I wasn't seeing any kind of weight redistribution until I had to measure myself for a suit recently. In a year I've:

- Gained 1.5" in my neck
- Gained 4" through my shoulders
- Gained 1.5" in my biceps
- Gained 2" across my chest
- Lost 3" from my waist
- Lost 2" from my thighs
- Grew 1" in height
- Lost 20lbs

So measure yourself! It made my day seeing how the numbers lined up. Think how excited you'll be in a year when you can look back at all the change

Yeah man. It happens. I thought I was going crazy too.

I wish I had had the insight to take measurements though. I also wish my change had resulted in a weight loss.

After starting I'd say a few weeks in I went through some weird feelings, like I was going to burst out of my skin, kind of like the werewolves in that movie Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman.

It was insane, but soon I noticed my pants slipping at the hips and my shirts getting tight at the shoulders and before I knew it I was 20 pounds heavier. Though my clothing sizes did not fluctuate to make me think I got fatter. I actually felt a bit more trim. It was nuts. I went from 240 to 260 pounds in about 1-2 months.

Congrats on the changes.
