edited November 2024 in Success Stories
I thought I would finally post a success story. I am 30 years old, transman from the UK, I wasn't a big person growing up, I was very skinny until I got hit pretty badly with depression and I doubled in weight in the space of a few years. I went from 7.5 stone (105lbs) at my lowest to just over 17 stone (240lbs) at my highest. I saw a surgeon about some gender confirming surgery and was told that I needed to get down to 12 stone (168lbs) to be eligible for surgery at the time I was pretty much near my highest weight not quite but not that far off it. Since then I got down to 168lbs a few weeks ago. It's really nice that not only do I not overspill my wheelchair anymore, it actually is too big for me. I now can stand a little which I really struggled with before.

Now to the pictures:

    Great work! Way to go in getting the body you want in more ways than one :) My brother's a transguy and I know it's not easy to control your weight with the hormone changes. Keep it up!
