Work, and a smaller fork. But seriously we have many here who might be more helpful than this wise acre.

Hugs,

My waist clincher works to hold in what sags when I'm not active. It does well wit5h the front view but the profile still needs the right clothes to mute it.

I don't quite know what "belly fat" means. Is that a male gut? A little baby fat poochie kind of thing? Excess loose skin? I lost 85 pounds in 18 months by going low carb and later joining a fitness program... It really works for F-A-T. I was lucky that my skin wasn't saggy with such a rapid weight loss, 50 pounds of which came off in a few short months. It has left me with a little chest fleshiness which today I don't mind :)

So, if it is overweight"ness", low carb really works! Leglifts and crunches will tighten abdominals, but the layer of fat may persist over the strengthened stomach muscles.

Good luck!

In my case it's a male gut, some fat, and bloating. I used to be fat before my transition and even though I'm sometimes as thin as I want it's very fleeting (I think I had about 24 hours the first and only time I got to that point, and I haven't gotten back to that size since).

After thousands of leg lifts and crunches along with trying a whole range of diets I've found that nothing works for me. I broke down and had lipo done and don't regret it a bit.

I don't recommend it, but the "Stress diet" works wonders. I dropped 41 pounds and weigh about what I did in high school.

Only half kidding - but stress kills my appetite and once you skip a few meals it just gets easier.

I'm now a shade over 6 feet and weigh 171. I can fit into size 5/28 skinny jeans easily.

Guess there is some benefit to stress eh?

If you are happy and your clothes fit - you are the right weight IMHO

Mine is just an old age ponch, at 5' 8' 155 lb. I am fairly healthy. I came down from 220 to 140 using the eat less eat healthier diet, ie salads, not fries, some fruit several times daily, smaller portions but bigger flavours. Maybe if my boobs were bigger I wouldn't look so big tummied.

hugs rita

      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.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      I mean, we're trying !  Just have to be a Southern Girl for now.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
