Trans female on HRT since 14 months and on the waiting list for gender reassignment. I'm also recently diagnosed as autistic, and quite likely with ADHD too. Looking to get back on track and lose around 10 lbs. Would like some more friends for mutual support so please add me if interested (and that goes for anyone else…

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm sure I will need to do a fair bit of tweaking, but simply following a male profile will not get me to my goals. Hormones are quite something.

Thanks for the advice, and I do feel that I'm in unknown territory for me. But I do hear you loud and clear about not overdoing the muscle mass loss. I think that the biggest changes were in the second half of the first year after starting estrogen. All I'm seeing now is an increase in body fat around my midriff, and I…

I'm totally with you here. I stopped logging and using the site, and just drifted back into my old bad habits. Next thing I know I'm 22 lbs heavier. Totally annoyed with myself, but the community here has been the support that I needed. As of this morning I've already shed 12 of those unwanted pounds. You being here and…

I'm transgender and I lost my boobs. :D

I need to pay for my transition, so why not get the additional benefit of stopping alcohol by saving money as well? :-)

Another weekend without alcohol, which is always the time of greatest risk to my resolve. Will celibrate with some chocolate! :smile:

Thank you for the encouragement. Early days, but I'm determined to make a positive change.

10 days without alcohol. Yay! I think I can do it, as long as I don't have to give up coffee and chocolate. :-)

If humans were meant to take showers we would have armpits that faced upwards.

Not all metal, but I'm into Breaking Benjamin, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Volbeat, Dead Sara, Rammstein, Rage ATM, Extreme, and loads of others.

Neck kisses Pavlova or cheesecake?

I'm a big TdF fan and will watch it all. Shame the tour is not coming anywhere near to where I live this year.

I call it the weekend.

Tahini. I love the flavour, especially in Halva desserts, but it has an eye-watering 600 cals per 100g (or 170 cals per 1 oz).

Has to be pistachio.

Is in fact the correct answer.

Trying to decide if I'm going to eat the banana or the homemade crème brulee.

People who glare at me with a look of distain just because I don't fit their idea of a "proper" gym member.

The freckles on my shoulders and upper back (according to him).

I revised my goal band up from 130-135 lbs to 135-140 lbs on advice from my GP. I've found it way more easier to stay within the new target levels.

My goal tolerance is around 5lbs (135 - 140lbs). Not triggered the upper limit yet and I've been on maintenance for almost two years (though I've come close to surpassing my limit).

I log everything from Monday to Friday as it's much easier for me to do. I don't log at weekends, and as a consequence I usually need a deficit during the week to keep within my goal range. Works for me, even though I'm sure it's not the best method for maintenance.

Celery is the devil's food. Hard to chew and digest and tastes like crap.
