Weight Loss This Year


Guest Maria_B

Recommended Posts

Guest Maria (Hilda)

At the start of this year I weighed in at 141kg. (310 lb)

My goal weight was 115kg by the end of the year (253 lb)

Earlier today I weighed in at.....

117kg. (258 lb)

Though slightly off my goal weight, I'm very happy with my progress this year, a solid 24kg gone. Though I could have lost a lot more (Being an 180 lb woman would lose 30lb to 3-4months with a simple, loose diet and little exercise, according to my Nutritionist) I'll take what I can get.

In past, exercise would put me off and being at the gym with people staring and glaring would make me go home and eat anyway, but this year I found a solution - Exercise that I could really get into. Dance! But the point of what I'm saying is, I guess this year I've learnt that exercise needs to be something you enjoy, and that alone will increase how much you exercise. Now That I enjoy what I do I'm much more physically active, and being more physically active has made... being active, Easier.

A year ahead of me waits, and next year, my Goal is 105kg by December 30th. It won't be easy, but with what I've learnt this year I hope I can make it enjoyable.

Love, Cuddles, and Oatmeal cookies!

Maria.

Fantastic Maria !

Wishing you the best on your weight loss goals.

Dance, boogie, shuffle, slide, hop, skip, saunter away ! I dig it, as I make love to my bass guitar (boogie) during each set for gigs and practice. Sweat = Boogie !

Music is the ultimate motivator !

I am also into walking (5 miles per day), it works for me.

Hugs

Fantastic! You are doing great so far Maria.

I looks like you have the right attitude too. Keeping healthy is a lifelong marathon and not a sprint.

I am so happy for you Maria. You have done a wonderful job already in the weight you lost. I am glad you found something that you like to exercise to.

Good Luck in meeting your goal this year. I know you can do it.

Congratulations an good for you Maria!

I'm not surprised that you found a way to make a difficult chore a way to have fun instead.

What an amazing girl you are.

Hugs

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
