I came out as transgender to my closest friends, younger brother, mother, and father over the course of two weeks and four different Thai restaurants. I ate A LOT of rice noodles. Some were surprised, some had stories they wanted to tell me about how and why they already knew, but for the most part they were supportive. My…

Hey, trans guy here looking for support. Feel free to add me.

So awesome that there is a group for poly folks on here!

Summer has been killing me so far as far as exercise goes. The humidity in Florida is not conducive to binding. I purchased a larger size than I normally wear hoping the extra room would make breathing a bit easier, but it seems to cut into my under arms a bit more than is comfortable and ride up on my neck. Not binding…

I've been wondering the same thing. I started 6 weeks ago and I think I need to manually adjust my calories but I'm not sure to what. I can't live off of 1200 calories a day right now. It's just not happening.

That's a good point. I'm certainly going to focus on losing those last 30 while incorporating the lifting but I won't make it my main objective until I reach my goal weight. Perhaps they will continue to minimize on their own. So far I've gone from a 40G to a 36DDD. I'll also look into a full program. Thanks for the advice!

That's really interesting information, thank you. I've been doing some research into transitioning without T and that is very helpful.

Hey Jake, and everyone else. I'm Brandy for now, I'm 27. Pre-everything. Just sort of in the beginning stages of being truthful to myself and my wife. I would love to get to know other FTMs as I work through my own transition.

Not into dudes, but I dig your style!

I'm looking for some more LGBT friends as well. Please feel free to add me!

Hey, hey- I would love other trans friends as well. Please feel free to add me!

Wow, you look outstanding! I can't wait till I can say those same words. "100 pounds lost"- what an inspiration!

I actually just started noticing the same thing recently. So far it's only a few dots on my thumb, but I had no idea what it was when it first popped up and I've been doing all sorts of research trying to figure it out. My diet is similar to yours. No meat or diary and mostly clean foods- and I haven't been exposed to any…

I like it a lot. It's pretty much the only bread we eat in my household. It's very high in protein and pretty delicious. Certainly much denser than regular bread and possibly a little drier, but still very tasty and extremely versatile. My favorite is the hot dog buns they make. I crave those buns with a smart dog and some…

Looking good lady! Welcome to MFP!

From what I understand humans don't have the ability to taste water, only the impurities in water. So everything we perceive as different "tastes" is actually just various differences between whatever is in the water. Water itself probably tastes like snosberries. But either way, I don't understand how someone could…

I say without a straw- and I've noticed I drink more from a large clear bottle versus any other option.

Many moons ago, I ended a long term relationship and moved to a new city just so I wouldn't have to risk bumping into the guy. I had been living in my new place for all of a week when one morning I woke up and my ex was in bed next to me, awake and apparently watching me sleep. Creepo. He had somehow convinced my…

Fried tofu and sweet brown duck sauce.

I love a good vegan hot dog or a few slices of vegan roast beef between my buns.

I recently started using a balance ball as my office chair for at least 4 hours a day and it's been pretty awesome so far. I don't stop moving when I'm using it. It really breaks up the monotony of a sedentary job and burns a few calories I'm sure.

I second the Ezekiel bread. It's very filling and full of good stuff!

Many moons ago, when I was a freshman in high school I came out to my best friend but asked her not to tell anyone because our school was very... let's just say close-minded. She stopped talking to me almost immediately and managed to tell everyone my secret, including her mother, by the end of the week. That's how I came…

I probably weighed about 210 my senior year but I'm not positive because I refused to weight myself. Now I'm 176.

I think Just Dance and the Zumba games are very good. They will certainly make you work up a sweat.

Why not- I'll throw mine in there. GW: 135 CW: 176 SW: 228 Height: 5'4 Age: 26 Sex: Female

I too would like to experience the elusive "thigh gap" at least once in my life. I'm assuming because I'm around 5'4 I'm probably going to need to get into the 130-140s range before I can really have much hope for that. I can already see and feel a difference there though so I'm hoping I'm on my way.

So the suggestion is to literally not drink a liquid while eating a meal to aid proper digestion? Huh. Interesting.

I used to serve coffee to Tiger Woods nearly everyday in 2009. Actually chai. One time Shaq wandered into my Starbucks looking for Tiger Woods. I guess they were supposed to meet there and he asked every barista if they had seen him or if they knew where he might be. (No cell phone Shaq?) I also had many long conversations…

Yes! Super bump!
