Hi , i am mtf and new to Susans, i am currently 8 weeks in to HRT, and i have had lots of change already, the best being psycological, I don't like talking about regimes, so i will skip that bit, anyway the i need some help regarding diet and bodyshape, in just only 8 weeks i have noticed ahuge difference in the shape of my lower body i.e less fat on my stomach, and a massive increass in hip/thigh/bum department, i am currently

27" middle waist and 37" and a half Hip/Bum circumferance,    5ft 8 "    151 pounds   20.3%fat  22.9BMI
   
The question i am asking if i continue to eat high fat foods, will this new fat just go to my female areas, or will it go all over my body, at the moment it just looks like it going to the female area's but i don't want to be any heavier than 154pounds.

If i stay around 154 pounds will my body shape keep changing to a more and more female shape i.e. skinny arms/back/front stomach?

And if i diet where will the fat be removed from first?

This may sound a bit technical, but i am interested in developing my body to the right shape the best and quickest way possible.

Thanks in advance for any reply's

There are no rules, your body will play the game its way. You will certainly develop breast tissue to a greater or lesser extent and your waist will tend to narrow. You will also eventually lose a certain amount of muscle mass, particularly from the upper body. However, the rest of the fat distribution is most unpredictable. If you are lucky you will shift it further south but there is no guarantee.

It is also a long process, do not expect to see exceptional results before at least 6 months, although your breasts will probably start to react before that. Two years will show some noticeable changes.

Nevertheless you will probably need to be post-op before your final shape develops.

Good luck in your transition, this is a great place for support and information.

Hey, thanks for your help, good advice for sure, i will just play the waiting game now.

I will do another post soon, no doubt i will need help with other areas of transitioning very soon.

Try a carb heavy diet (mix in some mono fats, easy to do if you aren't allergic to nuts), start riding a bike, and get yourself some sunshine. I also intake lots of vitamin B, D, C, and pop those Acai pills because of the antioxidant properties.

We probably do it subconsciously, but try not to over-stress the physical; Doing is better than worrying. Women come in all shapes, sizes and neurotic states anyway.
