Wohoo and yea, I have finally got down to 170 pounds. It has been a long tough trail but at least I am getting nearer my goal of 145 pounds. Back when I first started on hormones, I gained weight to a whopping 224 pounds and at 5 foot 9 inches, that was way too much. Now instead of a womans XXL I can wear a womans med and that is now getting loose.

Sob- its so great -sob (tears of joy)

Sob - I am trying to lose weight too - sob (tears of not so much joy)

KIDDING - but I had no idea you were working on such a weight loss goal! I AM INSPIRED! :rolleyes:

Me? I am too tall at 6'2' but I was skinny in school - 140 in HS, 180 in college. I am shooting for 186 if I am not too gaunt. I have just started HRT but have been dieting since I started therapy - 202 this morning, which is a 24 lb loss so far - finally getting close to breaking below 200. XL or 18W for me now - but a Medium??? NO WAY.

FANTASTIC Girl :lol:

Now I am getting really jealous! <_<

I'm 6'4" tall and trying to get back down to about 185 - that's almost 145 away (exactly what I weighed in college!)

I'm getting there, but it sure is slow and a long way to go.

Congrats, Karen - don't get too thin, you'll blow away in the Texas winds! :D

Love ya and unfortunatly food as well,

Sally

Karen,

That is great, both the current success and the goal! Being just under 5'10" and now at 180# I have set a goal of 162# and hope to attain by the end of this comming summer; I am not on hormones and am using diet with a running/walking program to work off the weight. Wish you the best.

Karen Update

I was 198 this morning - my original goal. Someone needs to add up what all us mature madames are losing - I think we will find we are missing a person.

YEAAAA

Thank you to everyone for the words of incouragement. Today I was at 168, even though it is not much more weight loss, at least I did not gain over the holidays.

Way to go Karen, thats awesome. I'm trying to reach the 140-145lbs goal myself, I am wanting to hit it before I start hormones. I'm 5'4", and on the 9th of November I was 179lbs., today I am 162lbs., so I'm right along with you trying to lose that weight.

Yea Karen B)

Celebrate and have a carrot stick! Just don't dip it in double deep dark chocolate sauce! Grin

How low are you going? Still 145?

(Hey send me all your size L tops since you can't wear them - and I will see if I can get my daughter to send you all her old size 4 jeans = ha! - she's a stick, 5'-8" and 132, like you're gonna be if you keep losing!)

Congratulations Karen!

You'll need to post a new picture pretty soon or we won't even recognize you! :P

I wias going to enter my progress, but you two are doing so well - I'll let you know I've lost 38 pounds since mid July. :D

The bad news is I'm still at 328 and a85 looks soooo far away, I can just barely see it on the horizon or is that a mirage?

Keep it going, you're doing great!

Love ya,

Sally

Hey before anybody panics I'm not aiming for 85 pounds - I just can't type!

185! For 6' 4" that should be OK!

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
