So this post has been a looong time coming. I first contacted a therapist in Sep'14 about my gender confusion, and since then I've been on a physically and emotionally bumpy journey. I've lost my marriage, a lot of access to my kids, and my own Mum hasn't spoken to me in well over a year. I've also lost 100lbs through diet and exercise and a lump of me in a Tummy Tuck / hernia operation.
I've gained a far deeper understanding of myself, a love for sport, about 4000 hair transplant grafts, and a desire to live my life not end it.
The community of wonderful people that together make Susans the place that it is have listened to my self doubts, confusion, and concerns. In return I have tried to share my own experiences in the hope that others may benefit.
So it's been more than two and a half years, I've recently started living full-time as Megan and I've still not even started HRT, though that's not far away now all going well. Below are a couple of pictures, one taken three years ago, the other last month. I think I've come along way.

Awesome!!  So pleased to see these types of posts.
Good for you, Megan!!

Very well done , it gives me hope and inspiration to lose those next 20lbs.

  Hi Megan,

  You have lost a lot of yourself to get to where you are. Looks like you've physically lost half the man you were and gained a woman. Job well done there hon. But I think the biggest loss you have had is likely emotionally with what you've lost in family. That takes a terrible toll. You do seem to be handling it fairly well though I know it is difficult.
  But you have also gained a lot there too. You've taken control of your life back and have made changes to better yourself. You are letting the woman you come out and see the world for the first time and that is AWESOME!

  You are doing what you need to do Megan, and doing an awesome job of it.

Hugs
