Why?

When i'm down or anxious I comfort eat and my anxiety has been quite bad recently, but when i'm ok i'm better with food, I don't snack and eat ok portion sizes.

Good luck everyone!

I'm now down to 167! ^^ I've been monitoring my calorie intake and I've been exercising daily (which allows me to maybe get a special treat if I've done good).  I haven't seen 167 in a year. XD  And I'm about 12 pounds away from where I want to be. 

Hello all you motivated people,

No weight loss for me this week but a reduction in body fat percentage and my waistline is shrinking...YEA!
Keep up the good work everyone.

Jennifer

Don't have bad food in the house and when you start to feel sad turn to music, dance, book, movie, go for a walk...there is lots you can do. Don't put it in your mouth and it won't go on your hip.

I know its been a while, but I'm happy to report I lost six pounds in my boot camp and an inch off my measurements.  Apparently I'm still full figured, but working on it.  Of course, if I'm going to be full figured, I'd be happy to have the curves to go with it (nobumatol), if only my butt could be a little more shapely - oh yeah wrong hormones, but hopefully for not too much longer.

Well, since I last weighed in here I hit as low as 183, but as of this morning was up to 184 again. I've been good this week though so I think it's a normal fluctuation. I hope I'll drop again next week.

Stay strong everyone and don't forget that your body hits these plateaus where you just don't lose weight for a little while. It can get discouraging, but it does pick up again. I've stalled for as long as two weeks before, and then my body loses several pounds within just a couple days.

Courage!

I've lost 17 lbs since the beginning of the year.  My goal is to lose another 15 to 20 lbs by the end of may.  I'm hoping in a years time I can be down to 180ish.

Just checking in real quick. Don't have time to catch up at the moment but will when I get home tonight.

Well previous weight- 209

Current weight- 214.6  but I did go on a 3 day cruise and ate practically the entire time so it could be worse.

Back home and back to the weights so I'm hoping to get back down soon. Good luck to everyone

Sounds like my holiday binge...I dropped most of the weight in the first part of January, so you should be fine.

I am still at 312 for the 3rd straight week, but I am losing body fat and it's being replaced by muscle mass, and my waistline is shrinking, so that's good news.

Thanks Regan I hope so

sigmafan that's great! Soon that muscle will start burning more fat and you'll be loosing fat quick.

Still don't own a scale, but I'm shrinking. My sweatpants are falling off

Hi Madelyn and everyone else,

I am so busy I forgot to check in. I am still the same weight but my figure continues to look better. I am starting to get a little frustrated though. I need some encouragement from all you wonderful people to pick me up again. I must lose some more pounds!

Hey guys, I didn't even know we had this thread.  I'd love to join in.
I'm 5'7 and 256lbs.  Beyond possible health issues, my weight doesn't really bother me.  I would like to have a more muscular look, though.  My weight makes me way too curvy. 
I think my main issue is consistency.  I'll drop weight for a month or so then get distracted by work/school/life and abandon it. 
Good luck everyone 

Well, I'm back down to 310.  I'm assuming this number will continue to go down when I start getting on my Testosterone Shots (not for trans reasons, it's just that I have super-low testosterone and I need it to balance things out, says 2 doctors and one of them being a endocrinologist.)  Anyways, I hope that stuff gets better and I'll be below 300 near April 15th.

My weight is holding this week, but seriously my pants are almost about to fall off.  I can take them off without having to unbutton them. 

I'll take that as progress.

Okay, I'm in! Better late than never.
I'm around 6 ft. and I currently weigh  223.  I started to lose some weight  but with the new baby it's been hard getting to the gym.  I'm hoping to start sooner than later AGAIN.
My target weight will be 175 to 180.  I don't want to lose all this weight right away because I was told that the extra fat at the beginning of HRT is actually a plus, BUT it DOES take a lot longer to get rid of it. 
As of today, I'm not depressed about any of this, but it needs to be taken care of. I started Sept. 30 of last year, and I HAVE noticed a lot of cool curves in all the right places.  I'm scared to lose what I have but I can't really take looking at my self in the mirror sometimes.  Although I am in great shape as a guy, it doesn't make the girl that is trying to come out very happy...at all.
I do have a small "muffin top" that is a left over from the boy side.  I know it's going to be hard to get rid of that. Hopefully, more fat re-distribution will help that by bringing it down.
I'm happy with the HRT results but of course, I always want MORE.
Being on HRT is making me crave salty foods and it makes me hungry, but I think I can turn that around and turn a negative into a positive so that it allows me increase my metabolism some.  So if I eat the right foods, it'll burn the fat.

I'll post my waist and other sizes later when I can find a measuring tape.
That's my rant and what-nots. LOL
Onward! T-girls...and guys!

Checking in:

It's weird. I've been living on pretty much the same diet (roughly 700-1100 calories/day, varying by what I decide to cook) for about 6 weeks. Haven't felt any particular sense of hunger or deprivation - I do have snacking urges, but they're easily dealt with by not having snacks, and by always having a nice cup of hot tea handy.

Suddenly today I am so, so, so unbelievably hungry. I can't eat any more before I go to sleep, but God, I want to. I'm fantasizing and obsessing about cooking and meals and food.

I think my body noticed it was losing weight. Grr.

Get in there!  I am down to 308 now.  I also started being put on Testosterone yesterday, so I can only believe my energy and metabolism levels will go up and my weight will go down.  And a deal was struck which helps out a lot.  If I get down to 300, my brother will be forced to go to the gym as well.  He claims that he's 293, and he's wider than me.  There's no way, he's 293.  Anyways, it'll be great when I get back down to 300.

Hey everyone!

First off, welcome to the new people who have joined the thread. It's great to see new people jumping in. Please keep checking in even if you gain, as you can see we've all gone up and down since starting, but this is a great place for us to all support each other even if we end up going up in weight a little.

As for me I'm 184.2 as of this morning. Since the last time I posted I've been as low as 182.6lbs, but I took a trip down to SoCal to come out to a lifelong best friend and the weekend with he and his wife included lots of great food

Anyway, I'm hanging in there and trying to count calories since being back. I hope I break through this little plateau. My birthday is coming up later this month and I'd love to be below 180 for that. I think I can do it if I stay good.
