MTF With Questions

[Guest Metal]

I'm 5"7 and about 140 lbs with little muscle mass and too much fat in my gut and in the back of my legs as the result of sitting at the computer playing video games most of my life (good distraction for GID). I've just recently started HRT and I wish to get into better shape but I hope to lose as little fat around the breast area if possible.

Are there any rough workout/diet strategies that would help me with this or is this well shaped breast fat that I gained before HRT not something that I should/can keep?

Thanks for any help/information.

hello,

congrats on starting hrt, i would join a gym and focus on the lower body but your breasts will grow even if your working out.

love rachelle.

Exercise and good food choices.

The fat you have now will not re-distribute to other areas so it is best to try and get rid of it.

Get away from the video games for a few hours each day and take up something that will give you some good exercise like bike riding and walking.

At 24 you are still young enough to be able to drop what weight you need without too many problems but before starting any exercise routine get a check-up with your doctor.

The first thing you should do is concentrate on eating rite. I say because i know sitting around playing games you have the tendency to snack on anything you can find. Then you have to want to loose the weight.limit yourself on the video games.Start walking alot(quick pace not slow) biking is a very good idea. Look on youtube as there are tons of workout videos (some i use) and its free unlike a health club. Here is what i do 3 times a week. 2 miles walk at fast pace, bike across town (aprox 4 miles) 5-6 mile run in the morning before work. when i get home i do 15 minutes of cardo 5 days a week. Weekends i do an entire 45 minute workout using the p90x workout system. It may seem like a lot, but it's not at all. Before you start a workout system it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor. get a physical so you don't end up getting hurt, and he/she can give you advice on a proper diet. hope this helps..but like i said, you have to WANT to change.

unfortunately, you can't spot reduce when it comes to fat. So you won't be able to target one area and not affect another area. That being said, I agree with the other posters and believe you should start exercising and focusing on other areas such as the butt, thighs. tummy and legs. Walking, bike riding, etc. is very good and diet is very important.

Is there anything you can do if you're not losing any belly fat but there's no other fat to lose? Aside from my belly, I'm nothing but skin and bones. My ribs are visible yet I still look fat thanks to my belly.

I've been walking a lot for over a year, about an hour fast pace 3-4 times a week. While the fat is burning off i haven't lost a single pound. Not worried though, good muscle tone looks good on everyone
