Trans teen on journey, join me...if you dare :P

adam8899

Hi, I'm Adam.

I'm a transgender FTM teen (if you're unsure what that means just ask or google it haha).
I have joined this site to lose fat and gain muscle, however, I'm super clueless about what is good for me to eat to achieve my goal.
I'd like to have people on here and on my feed (is that what it's called?) that I can learn from, share hobbies and exercise stuff with and also anyone who likes the same stuff as me. I plan to be very active on here (and in real life haha).
I like walking, which is strange for a teenager to say
Adam Lambert is my favourite singer, I love him so much. Yes, I'm a gay dude inside
Watching TV is my pastime but it's also the reason I eat so much trash. Merlin, OUAT, GOT, TWD, Fringe... There's about twenty more and I'm not even kidding haha
I'm a Film student
I have a cat

I would love to have some people as friends on here and it would be great if we can motivate each other and share our insanity lol

OK ! Weight loss is something we all struggle with! We do have 1 thing in common...Adam Lambert is one of my favorite artists too !! I am much much older than you.....but I still love that mans music! Your personal choices in your life are YOUR personal choices. You will be accepted here for who you are!

Forgive me if I'm incorrect but are you trying to make the point that you are trying to get rid of your feminine shape and recreate yourself to be more masculine? Hence asking about building muscle and the need to tell us you are transgender? good luck on your journey

Hi Adam! I've been here a while and I'm almost done with weight loss (67lbs gone, 4 to go) but I'd love to be your friend. I love Merlin! I watched it whilst it was on, as a Brit, but I've recently started to rewatch it. I love me some Adam Lambert (as a pan female I'm a little jealous that he plays for your team and not mine!) and I adore cats. Good luck

Adam, feel free to add me. I don't put much on my own feed but do respond to posts from people that I follow. I am not trans but have a teen that is so I am familiar with your journey.

Hey guys - this discussion has been cleaned up a little to remove things that may have conflicted with Community Guidelines. Please take a look, and keep these in mind while posting: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines

Hope y'all have a lovely day. And remember - *whispers* It's almost Friday... And we get to dress-up on Saturday.

Oh - and @adam8899 - Welcome to the community. :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP, Adam. There are all sorts of great stickies to get you on your way. One thing to keep in mind is that it is nearly impossible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. It's a good idea to have a goal in mind and work on that. If your main goal is to lose weight it's a good idea to be sure to get adequate protein and lift heavy while eating at a deficit in order to maintain as much muscle mass as possible.

This is a long-time favorite of mine:

Good luck to you.

That's an amazing step to take! Have you watched FTM videos on YouTube? I've watched a lot and they might interest you.. I know a few guys go into detail about how they gained muscle and in conjunction with the hormone it helped a lot!

adam8899

@KT_3009 I've not watched them for that purpose so I think I will do that now, thanks

Good luck! Sounds like you are on the right track.
