Unfortunately I'm a bit on the heavy side as well. But, it's helped since being on hrt can have a "fat redistribution" effect. My chest is really rocking and "Baby Got Back"!

If you want to lose weight, keep an eye on your caloric and fat intake. I'd try for around 1500 calories and no more than 60 grams of fat. HOWEVER.... I'm not a Medical Clinician nor am I in the dietician scope of things. Perhaps you could inquire with a MD or see if a school nurse or dietician could give you some better advise than myself. I really do not know what your caloric intake should be as it may be different due to age, growth patterns etc...

152lbs is sorta average for other guys around my age. And the binge eating is probably due to the damned T making you bulk up. Just thought I should say that its not your fault. Oh, and being "heavy" doesn't necessarily make you fat. You've got to take bone size, muscles etc into acount. Ha, PE theory finally does me some good.

152lbs .... Really? you call that fat? I would kill to be 152lbs ..... As of right now i am 180lbs :angry:

I would kill to be 180 lbs heck would be estatic with 200 lbs as I am a very large 274lbs down from 285lbs. But I have a very long torso so it hides most of my weight. People usualy guess me around 200-220.. 180 lbs on me is very thin..

One of the ways to help drop weight beside lots of exsercize. Is to try to aviod high frutose corn syrup as that stuff its a fat maker on steriods. also try to aviod empty calories( bad carbs). I let myself go because of deprestion . Then when I added on quiting smoking(insane munching) and hrt my weight jumped quick. I am content with my life now and am slowly but surely getting the weight off by just changing my eating habbits slightly. As soon As am able to get below 250lbs then will start serious excersize. My poor kness just can not handle heavy cardo at this weight..

The earlier in life you start any kind of calorie restriction the greater the risks are that you will be seriously overweight as an adult. It interferes with metabolism-so dieting is a serious trap. There is all kinds of scientific evidence out there if you want to look it up.

At your age you haven't gotten to your adult weight patterns and your body has additional nutritional needs that will affect you for life if not met. Not a big deal now perhaps but it will be.

If you want to look and feel better then eat healthier-high fat and sugar foods are somewhat addictive because of there effect on brain chemistry I have read-I know for me it is hard to kick them but once I do the cravings are much better and I feel better.. And exercise more. Which is the real key.

Not what anyone wants to hear but it's the only thing that really works long term without predisposing you to lifelong weight problems. Exercise doesn't mean a trip to the gym - find something you like, mountain biking, boarding, dance-anything-and do it -do a little more each day.

And now I know why I went from being able to eat anything I wanted in high school to having to be more careful than most in college. My meal patterns in high school were really screwy due to a high focus on academics and a dislike for both cafeteria food and bag lunches.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
