Liz's progress (wait, what progress?!)

Here's a collection of pics that I've taken the last few years to hopefully show myself and others what changes I've gone through for the last 2-3 years. Maybe if I see it in contrast to older pics I'll be able to see a difference because, to me, I don't think I've changed that much or that drastically.

Okay, wait, I don't think I've changed that drastically...until I saw one of the very first pics of me all made up (it's at the end). wow!

Okay so here's the most recent, 2/25

Nearly 2 years HRT with 1 year of laser and almost a year of electrolysis during that same time.

Also 30 pounds lighter than I was last year.

Well look at you, Lizzie!

I can't really think of anything else to say besides you look great!

Sorry. I'm usually more in depth, but I've got nothing this time :s

God Bless

You do look maaahhvalous, Lizzie. You have certainly changed a lot. But I have one pet peeve; next pic should be sans the sunglasses, hon. I want to see those lovely eyes. :)

Hey Liz!

I certainly noticed the changes in you between our two meetings - about 2011 and then this year.

I believe that I even mentioned how great you looked.

It's working for you, just one tall beautiful woman to another. ;)

Love ya,

Sally

Wow nice set of photographs, I am with Carolyn Marie, I want to see those peepers. I have been waiting for a new photo from you for some time. Well done!

Okay, so, there were more pics I wanted to add but every time I received an error message about reaching the amount of pics I could post, so I'd delete one..then try again..delete one more..try again..etc. etc. So I cut it down to those in the original, and now I'll add 4 more to show a wee bit of progress. It was brought to my attention to just upload them to my gallery and have people go there but I don't want to give you ladies (and gents) a chore to do!

Okay, so you want a non-sunglasses pic, so here you go. This was taken about 3 days ago. No sunglasses. No makeup.

(barf bags available in the seat back in front of you) :P

Going backwards: 2014. Not sure if you can see it but the red bumps on my chin area are because I had electrolysis just a few days before. Experimented with purple so it showed when my hair was down. This was short lived because the purple wasn't permanent and washed out fairly quickly. Ah well, live and learn.

2013 - Another year of a great selfie. Btw, I practically live in my sunglasses because they're prescription and they look fabulous. You would too for those reasons! Don't judge me. :P

and finally, we go back to 2009. When my name change was finalized and official. Legally Liz! (well, Elizabeth) woohoo!

Hi Lizzie,

You look lovely, and it is really groovy to see how you have changed. :thumbsup: Your hair is so thick and beautiful, I am quite envious, I must admit. :)

hugs,

Stephanie

I could show off more pictures but once I got to a certain point in my transition, all my pictures pretty much began to look the same.

Yep, that's me from a few months ago...and I still look exactly like that now. I guess I've reached a consistent girl look that is easy to maintain, manage, and completely passable so I just stick with what works.

The only thing that really ever changes is my outfit and my hair color, but even then it's nothing too drastic.

I am at the point where people meeting me or have been acquired as new friends have no idea I'm transgender until I say something about it. They almost always say "I had no clue, I couldn't tell" so that's a great compliment.

I'm also still not used to this male attention. Huh? Me? No, that's for the hot, skinny chicks. Not...me, I'm neither of those. Apparently I am but I don't see it. Maybe in another 50lbs I will, who knows.

There are other girls here hotter than I am. I'm just the fat, funny one. :P

(yes I am!)

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!

      Congratulations Sam,   The common saying her once someone starts HRT is: “Enjoy the ride.”   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired
