why

[Guest mistygirl7]

Why must it be so hard for a women to lose weight I was doing so well and dropping now suddenly I'm flexing and nearly dropping. I hate the T that has made me but the T help with dropping weight faster. I love the E for which I am suppose to be but dislike the e for not dropping weight anymore :/

Actually I think it's our bodies going through another puberty and preparing for a growth spurt that isn't going to actually happen that causes the problem. And to some degree with estrogen the need to add that layer of fat that adult females need to be healthy while with males like me the T drives us to eat to bulk up.

T also has a reputation for causing weight gain for that reason. I know I was losing before I took it and at first as my body adjusted weight loss plateaued for a couple of months as my body fought to add bulk I didn't need. I did notice my hunger while no less became less specific. I just wanted to eat-rather than just wanting chocolate or just sweets or salty. Still more that way. Some days I wake hungry and go to bed hungry. I satisfy my tastes and ignore the hunger because it isn't real. But it is there. Partly in my case that is due to the fact that I am exercising away approximately twice as many calories as I eat every day 6 days a week.

But it really helps to have that one day when I know I can satisfy my every whim. And it is working for me. Half my body weight so far. But I have fought weight before and was able to do it while estrogen coursed through my system as well. I did have to exercise harder for results though.

I think in time your body will realize puberty is over and stabilize. Sure hope so anyway for both of us.

I have to admit I kind of encouraged weight gain at first. I'm hoping that additional fat intake will add it to the right places, then when I lose it later it will go first from areas I didn't want it. Female hormones make our bodies distribute it in the right places, so when we lose fat, i assume we should lose it from other areas faster than from hips/rear/chest.

I don't know that for scientific fact or anything, it's just what I'm hoping.

It seems that most of us girls gain some weight when we go on Estrogen......

The rest of our lives will be controlled by the evil "Diet!"
