I don't know the real name for the method that was used on my chest, I've heard some people calling it "the london underground" as the scars make the same kind of mark. They cut around the nipple and about 1-3cm next to it to remove excess skin.

The only way I'd go to a gym if I had a friend to go with me but no such luck, I'm a bit antisocial and trying out new things is scary. :D I have weights, pull up bar and other stuff at home and I did actively train few years ago, but then I lost interest and it's hard to get it back.

got my results from the doctor either yesterday or the day before (i'm not sure, my s/o's anxiety issues and dogsitting has been stressing me out, and i have trouble keeping track of time to begin with) and the good news is my bloodcounts and vitamin levels are great, so is my thyroid, kidneys, liver etc ... don't have lupus so that's nice... and the lyme is out of my system finally...

the bad news though is that i'm still sick cuz lyme and the treatment for it fucked me pretty bad (at least that's the doctor's theory, the lyme lowered my immune system and treating it brought it down even more which fucked me over pretty hardcore) and i have chronic epstein barr issues now, neuropathy, and chronic fatigue... and the only thing i can do is eat healthy, exercise as much as possible in spite of all the pain and being so tired all the time and hope for the best... and well, gotta discuss pain management with the doctor in a couple of weeks... stomach issue too, but the meds she gave me when i was there fixed that in all the ways it can be fixed... but my nerves are damaged so all the pain and numbness and weird feelings are all just something i need to get used to and learn to manage... at least i know for sure that all the times it felt like i should've gone to the hospital and people were telling me to that i did the right thing not bothering... but she basically told me this is my life now and asked if i wanted prozac to deal with it...

The only thing that concerns me about going on T is going bald. Other wise I'm not scared at all but how do I stop thinking about if I'll go bald or not.

If baldness is something stopping you transitioning... how valuable is your transition? Dudes go bald all the time and they deal with it OK.
>>
>>6448765

their dick doesn't fall off with tgeur hair though... and plenty of guys handle going bald poorly... baldness isn't something i wanna deal with, that doesn't mean transition isn't important to me... having concerns and caring aboit certain negative aspects of transition doesn't minimize the issue...
>>
>>6448785

their*
>>
>>6448785

It's a fair point, but the thing is it's not really up to guys not to deal with it, it's something they have to deal with, taking the good with the bad.

All I'm saying here is, OK there are negatives to transitioning, but if it's balding that is the key thing to stop someone transitioning then... well I dunno, it doesn't seem like there would be particularly strong reasoning to transition in the first place.

Anyway, this is kind of a moot point. I mis-read the post and thought he said he wasn't going to transition because of it instead of it being a simple concern.

As for that anon, baldness for some guys is just a fact of life. Just accept and own it if it happens and realise it makes you look more manly.
>>
Something to keep in mind, when men go bald, they'll often have other masc traits to make up for it. Suppose a guy is bald but is 5'9" with a 5" dick and 18" shoulders(bideltoid), no girly pear hips either. He's really not winning the masc lottery, but he's miles ahead of the average FTM.
>>
>>6448827

idk... personally my hair is the only thing i like and being 5' tall, bald, and dickless is pretty unappealing... though i would've taken t and just stopped if it started to go downhill + meds for it...

which is another moot point i suppose... cuz there's a high probability i could die of liver failure from the shit that's wrong with me in the next 3-10 years or so... or have an aneurysm, develop ms and so on... so t probably isn't a good idea for me at all

but really you can't tell the severity of an issue based on how someone deals with it... or doesn't or what they value... the thing about being trans is it doesn't entirely matter what someone cis would go through or has to go through, we're never gonna be cis so... yeah
>>
>>6448852
>>6448875

Fair points. Maybe I'm thinking that you'd deal with being trans differently than you would another insecuirty like going bald.

I'm the one with the concern of going bald. My dad is bald but my dad's dad isn't. My mom's brother isn't bald and he's like 48, he is rather handsome. I guess I'll just have to see.

I dunno it's just that my hair is one of my most attractive features and I like it a lot, it makes me sad thinking about losing it, but some dudes still look good while bald and getting to pass as a man and getting the voice and body I want is honestly the most important part anyway.

I can always start with small doses of testosterone I guess.

I need some advice, y'all.
I recently became friends with this guy who I think is really cool (I also have a bit of a crush on him, but that's secondary). He didn't know I was trans when we met, and yesterday I ended up in a position where I kind of had to tell him. He doesn't have an issue with it, but I can tell he's never had a trans friend, because he said some shit that was really fucked up. What really got to me was what he said about the way I look. He mentioned that he didn't know if I was male or female when we first met, which after a year on T is really not something I want to hear. When I got angry he apologized, and that was the end of it.
But now the more I think about it, the more insecure and depressed I feel. I thought I was passing a lot better, but apparently not, and now I'm honestly kind of suicidal thinking about it.
We hung out today, and I was feeling so low I had to leave early. He was concerned and texted me asking if I was alright, but I just kind of dodged the question. Should I bring it up again even though he said sorry? It kind of makes me not want to be around him.
>>
>>6449518
Real men don't feel sad

Okay, shitposting aside, just talk to him. You're only a year on T, so don't be so harsh on yourself, you're only going to be getting more masculine in the next few years. And smile, okay? Getting clocked or people not quite knowing sucks, but you'll get over it, and eventually (especially for trans guys) it stops happening altogether. So yeah. Smile ^-^

Thanks for the advice.

Start lifting. All-in-all not too bad for only a year on T. You shouldn't expect magic, as much hype as T gets. If you look andro with a deep enough voice at this point, that tips you male.

Going to be 8 weeks. I'm probably just feeling really fucked up over my relationship starting to go South, likely because of this tranny shit honestly.

It's hard to handle the stress of transitioning mostly alone on top of a bunch of other things I have going on and now this. I don't know what to do with myself.

On top of that, the person I might potentially lose is one of the only people who treats me as a male, uses the proper pronouns/name while it feels like no one else knows how to handle it, or doesn't want to handle it.

I feel lost.

Why would you lose your relationship because of transitioning if that person "is the only one who treats you as male"? If he really does transitioning wont probably change her/his mind, unless s/he's just doing it to be nice to you and doesnt actually treat you as male.

Anyway relationships can end for many reasons, people change etc. No one should postpone transitioning because they fear they might lose their relationship, you might lose it anyway at some point and then you're just going to be depressed you didnt transitioned earlier.
>>
>>6450469
Yeah, my voice has actually already started to drop and it's really throwing people off and making them uncomfortable, especially at work. I'm not sure how to deal with this. I never asked anyone to change pronouns/name yet because I didn't expect T to work its magic as fast as it is for me.

Now we're all at this weird stage where people are noticing changes and they don't know what to do with me.

>>6450475
I know. And that's why I refuse to not transition for my relationship. I love them, but...I can't not do it. I'll kill myself eventually if I don't make changes. And I know that they know that. It's all bad. It's all a shitty situation.

I just wish I wasn't trans. I feel so alone and it's driving me back toward the bottle.
>>
>>6450506
I think he's going through an identity crisis right now. His family is insanely conservative and doesn't even know how to deal with gays let alone trannies. It's something he's been ignoring from the beginning that I tried to address, and it's just now hitting him. I also think he's afraid he won't be attracted to me the longer I'm on T.

I actually ignored transitioning and being trans for a relationship before this one. I tried really fucking hard. It obviously ended up ending and I was right back to square one and probably more fucked up than I ever was.

But this is one of those situations where neither party has done anything wrong, both people still love each other and don't know how to get past the blockage.

It fucking hurts.

Please update when you do come out at work because it's something I'm probably going to have to do at work soon and I'm shitting myself about it.
>>
>>6450560
Well, I've already come out to everyone at work, I just haven't asked them to swap pronouns and shit yet because it feels really awkward and I don't like to make people uncomfortable.

I basically came out to everyone one at a time over the span of like 8 months or so, before even binding or wearing men's clothes. It's such a fucking awkward situation, especially since it's a mom and pop place in a small town. My manager has actually had customers ask about me, one in particular even guessed that I was trans and was really cool and supportive about it. It was fucking weird.

I dunno, man. Life is fucked.

>>
>>6450651
I like masculinity.
>>
>>6450639
): i would eat froyo with you anon
>>
>>6450639

probaby all different reasons... i can be flaky though i usually get in touch first, like i've gotten too high to move after deciding on having a bbq the night before or to go to a bar and then had to explain that i'm too high to go outside...so like an hour before meeting up i've been like "sorry that's not happening"

my guess though is it's anxiety... really common in transpeople and just talking isn't as big of a deal as meeting so talking might've been in his comfort zone whereas actually meeting might've been beyond it... and him taking you seriously is probably why he just stopped talking... some people do that kinda shit
>>
>>6450675

>>6450686

nah you don't get it cuz you're blaming yourself... chances are it has nothing to do with you and you've just spoken to a lot of anxious trans guys... unsurprising when you meet people online, and dealing with people who are trans... but yeah a lot of people with anxiety issues will be both anxious about meeting and anxious about canceling or saying no or speaking after they flaked out

i came out and transitioned while at my last job, i'm a little too drunk to just type up a big post about it but ask me anything you want
>>
>>6451002
Is it wise to just not come out and transition anyway while not giving a fuck what other people think? I figure my coworkers will get it eventually once I start growing facial hair and my voice drops considerably. Since as of right now they still use female pronouns but it's very obvious from their POV that I'm a crossdresser at the least.

It's not that I'm worried that they'd care or not about me being trans. I just hate the idea of making people gather around and interrupting both their work day and mine for something that's not really relevant to them or the job.
>>
If I end up being underweight will the doc still give me T shots? is it dangerous?

>>6451393
it's not really a matter of it being wise or unwise, it's just cowardly and will not solve any of your problems. trust me, it is way more awkward for everyone involved to work with a "woman" who looks and sounds like a man than it will be for you to come out. and no, people will not just automatically "get it" no matter how obvious it is. i was on T for 8 MONTHS before i came out at work and no one said a single word about the fact that my voice had dropped a few octaves and i routinely sported a five o'clock shadow. cis people are remarkably ignorant about trans shit, especially trans male shit.

also, being called by your deadname and female pronouns in and out every day will eventually become unbearable, especially if the workplace is the only place you're not out.

spoiler alert: unless you live/work in a very conservative place, no one gives a single flying fuck about your transition. people will gather around and listen to the announcement and in 5 minutes they will go back to their jobs and completely forget about all of it. or at least file it way in the back of their mind, behind all the TPS reports they have to write that afternoon.

yes, you will have to grin and bear it through a couple of awkward days. but it's worth being able to put it behind you and live openly as a man.
>>
>>6451562
Once I change all the legal and paperwork stuff, they'll probably at least ask why my name tag says something different when I print myself a new one. But I really hate when people "draw attention to themselves" like that. Especially with personal shit no one gives a fuck about. So it'd be hypocritical of me to do the same. At most, I'll eventually get to correcting them if they're still doing it once I get so far along that they'll end up being the ones who make themselves look ridiculous by calling some short lumberjack lookin' dude by a female name.

Also I don't hate cis people. Some of them get it, some don't. And a few are assholes but who gives a shit. There's trans assholes too. But I understand that it probably would take a while. I'm thick skinned enough to deal with it.

Though it also helps that I avoid being very close with my coworkers. Like, up until now, the most personal thing I've ever disclosed to any of them is that I have a dog and I listen to rock music. And I've worked there for almost 2 years now. So they can call me "sparkle-butt-jo-jo-unicornfarts" for all I fucking care. As long as work gets done and noone breaks any of the expensive equipment or gets electricuted. So I don't see how what I'm doing is cowardly.

At most, I'd have to make a phone call to HR to get my records in order and give a brief explaination. But that'd be about it.
>>
>>6450415
True. I know ftms who lived years trying to be straight girls or butch lesbians (myself in the latter), but that dysphoria doesn't go away. If I could press a button and be happy as a cis girl maybe I would do it but I'd still rather press the button to be a cis man.
>>
>>6451688
>But I really hate when people "draw attention to themselves" like that.
i do too. i'm an exceedingly private person and coming out was very hard for me. but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. coming out is not hypocritical at all and i would argue that it definitely DOES affect your coworkers because it's changing the way they will be interacting with you. trust me: it will be way, way more awkward for you to explain your new name tag over and over again than to come out formally. seriously.

>Also I don't hate cis people.
neither do i? i never said i hated them, i just said that by and large they know nothing about trans men and you absolutely cannot depend on them being able to just figure stuff out without you explaining it to them in very clear and unambiguous terms.

>So they can call me "sparkle-butt-jo-jo-unicornfarts" for all I fucking care. As long as work gets done and noone breaks any of the expensive equipment or gets electricuted.
you say that now. wait until you're a year on T and come back to me and tell me how you feel about being called a woman.

>So I don't see how what I'm doing is cowardly.
unless i misunderstand you, you're avoiding something (coming out) because you're afraid it will be awkward. that's pretty much the definition of cowardice.

come on, dude. look at what you're saying here. what do you think a mature, self-assured man with his shit together would do in this situation? you asked for advice, but you don't want advice; you want someone to tell you it's fine to live in your little bubble for the rest of your foreseeable existence.

>At most, I'd have to make a phone call to HR to get my records in order and give a brief explaination. But that'd be about it.
that's a really big assumption. HR might not be okay with this, i.e. they might want you to do more, they might require you to come out before you can change your records or your name tag. don't assume what HR will want or not want, you have to talk to them.

Sorry m9. At least you're thin? If you put a fuckload of work into your shoulders and arms you might be able to shift attention away from the waist/hip ratio you're rocking, but no amount of T is going to change that bone structure.

That said... some men have slightly wider hips. It might not be too noticeable if you work on your upper body enough.

Good news! Not very fucked at all if you get a good surgeon. Getting a surgeon who has worked with breasts that size is fucking KEY if you don't want to end up with a completely ruined chest.

Otherwise, you've already got a fairly masculine waist/hip ratio and your shoulders will put you squarely in twink range but they're straight enough that no one should question much.

sorry went off to sleep

yeah, it does. for me it's bad in my neck, jaw, face, and arm, and they all feel fresher, more responsive, more "properly plugged in" than when i don't. i get lots of aches, pains, and zaps, and those definitely go down in frequency and severity with the meds. doesn't cure everything though

that being said i've been terribly inconsistent with them and it's been giving me headaches/making me more depresssed. if you have access to it smoking a lot of weed is just as good
>>
>>6453492

i know already i'll be really inconsistent i forget things like that all the time, so if that's the case i'll stick to weed... i never forget to smoke weed (i do nearly every day), and missing a day isn't gonna fuck me up that was actually a big concern of mine the missed dosage thing with it...

i have pain and all that throughout my entire body, but if weed is just as good fuck that... thanks for telling me though, i've been really debating it since i found out but yeah... it's guaranteed i'll be inconsistent and miss doses after doing things like be unsure if i took it already or not then decide i shouldn't since i don't know and skip it altogether

the doctor was pretty positive i can keep it from progressing and that this is just how it'll be at least given my eating and exercise habits as long as i give up cigarettes (which i did immediately) so i guess it's just a matter of hoping for the best and doing what i normally do... if she's right about the time frame between this and lyme then i've managed to stay pretty healthy in spite of this for around 2 years so far... it feels near identical though which is why i couldn't tell whether or not the lyme was still around or it just permantly fucked me... turns out it just permantly fucked me

i actually misspoke a bit haha: weed helps in dealing with pain, but the SNRIs with it help my body to stop burning in the first place. both is def better than just one

neuropathy tends to worsen with depression so that was also a motivation for me to go on them. it was especially bad in my arm, i couldn't write to take notes
>>
>>6453644

i'm sure it is, but i'd rather deal with some of it than a prescription that can make things worse when i inevitably miss doses or take extra by accident in conjunction with me having a pre-existing anxiety about that kinda med cuz of some shit that happened...

i feel like unless it eliminates it completely it's not worth the chemical dependence and possible side effects

I'm gonna say yes to both. I can appreciate men who work on their bodies and acknowledge they "look good", but nothing beyond that.

>you don't have to get it
but I want to. I think transsexuals are fascinating. I don't get it at all.
>>
>>6453956
Eh, I was just stating it the way MtFs here generally do.

The obvious "can't help it, mental illness" thing aside, there are pros and cons to both being a man and being a woman. Think of it in terms of difficulty curves and short-term vs. long-term benefit.

Being a woman:
-Very low difficulty curve, provided your goal is to get laid, or to acquire money and status with minimal effort on your part
-At a disadvantage if want to be taken seriously in professional environments, it will always be assumed that you traded dick-sucking for status thanks to those who took the easy way out
-Your advantages decline sharply around age 30
-Low risk, low reward

Being a man:
-Extremely steep starting difficulty curve, especially if born without a predisposition towards being tall and muscular
-However, sufficient talent and drive can break through the hazing and exponentially increase status over time
-Provided that you were able to acquire sufficient talent/assets by 30, you're set for the rest of your life, otherwise you're twice as fucked
-High risk, high reward

If we take gender dysphoria out of the equation, then it stands to reason that the men who can't hack it in the highly competitive and cutthroat world of masculinity should become female and the women who thrive on that sense of competition and conquest should become male. Maybe that's the way it will end up going, once we all become AI and gender is a matter of avatar selection. It'll be fascinating to see if gender becomes obsoleted entirely in the event of transhumanism, to say the least.
>>
>>6453956
I'm trying to get by as a masculine woman at the moment, but I'll try to explain anyway, make of it what you will.

Hairy, gritty and sweaty appeals to me, in a salt of the earth sort of way. It's not sterile or artificial like femininity, it's real and feels more like life.
>>
>>6453985
>I was just stating it the way MtFs here generally do.
that's a sad way to view things, honestly.
And yeah, I'd like to know more beyond "mental illness". That doesn't help me understand.

> then it stands to reason that the men who can't hack it in the highly competitive and cutthroat world of masculinity should become female
> the women who thrive on that sense of competition and conquest should become male
that seems very strange to me. I don't personally see why a woman couldn't be a CEO etc., so that doesn't make sense. (But on the other hand I can somewhat agree with and understand your part about "men should be girls if they aren't ambitious enough")

>gender dysphoria

>would you be willing to give me a tl;dr?

It is possible that some transgender people, want to be the opposite sex as well as having gender dysphoria;
it's not entirely the case for me, i don't care about what sex i am really, i don't see male or female as being better for whatever reason.

But all trannies have Gender dysphoria which feels as though you're unable to perceive yourself as the sex you were born.
Your brain just 'expects' you to be male, when you're not. and its a really bizarre and foreign feeling to look at yourself in the mirror and see a female, or to be talking with someone and realize they see a woman when they look at you.
Which is why transition is necessary, because otherwise you would feel like you were constantly in 3rd person, piloting around someone elses body.

Everyone has this perception of themselves, like Intersex people, who have in some cases, been through 2 puberties, and have had both male and female secondary sex characteristics, or have ambiguous genitalia, or atypical chromosomes,
Still perceive themselves as either male or female, when technically they are a mixture of both.

Dysphoria is really hard to explain if you haven't experienced it personally. But you know how guys get gyno? They get little man-tiddies and are super self-conscious about it.

Dysphoria is kinda like that, except our bodies look normal. Like for me, I'm a hot ass girl. I have giant tits and hips for days. I could have a really easy, nice life. I'm well-liked because my tits outweigh my social awkwardness, I'm smart and everyone will hire me because I'm a girl in engineering and muh feminism.

However. My body feels like it's wrong. I look in the mirror and while cognitively I know it's fine and sexy, but it feels foreign to me. My hips should me smaller and my tits shouldn't be there. I can't explain why it should be that way, I don't really know. But I feel ashamed about it the same way a dude with gyno would feel about his. There was recently a femboy in these threads who grew tits because he was taking estrogen and was dysphoric about them. There was nothing wrong with them, by all accounts they were very nice. But again, he just... Felt uncomfortable about them.

I've always been really uncomfortable with my body and specifically with my tits. I assumed that that was just the way I was, that it was my social anxiety and self-esteem. I had always wished I had more dude-like features, but it never occurred to me that I could actually have them until I learned about transgender men. I got a binder, looked in the mirror, and went "yes, this is correct."

Tl;dr you'd feel like shit if you were dickless with moobs too

You do know testosterone eventually makes you look and sound male, right?

I've been on T for a while now and my partner is losing his attraction to me. It's not that difficult to understand, dumbass.

My initial point is that I'm going through what a lot gay men do. Their straight best friend or partner realizes they prefer women. I am not a woman and I won't look or sound like one. Ever.

No I'm not gay. I actually prefer women. But I just happened to fall for a guy unfortunately.

I really don't know anything, anon. My dick got hard reading the bisexual thread, IIRC it was boys describing what they liked.
I'm not in a happy place right now, so I accept you think I'm an asshole or a troll. That's fine. I jsut want to drink and not think, and I am not happy that thinking about being a cute boy seducing guys makes me diaminds, so excuse me.

man... that pic... right in the feels. that's exactly what it was like for me. the worst part was feeling like i didn't exist, and now that i'm post transition the worst thing is realizing/remembering that i spent the first 25+ years of my life not even existing. i feel like my life didn't even start until like a year or two ago. what a fucking joke. i'm so glad i figured shit out. i would have eventually suffocated to death in that miserable woman meat suit.

You realize you probably are never going to "understand" right? If you're not trans you're never going to fully understand what being trans is... Just like I'll never "understand" what being schizophrenic is or any other mental illness like it. Yes I know the signs and symptoms but I don't "get" how people can hallucinate and mistake it for reality because I'm not schizophrenic. All you have to do is trust in other people and believe them when they say they feel something you can't relate too like they have hallucinations, or have depression, or are trans and not treat them like shit because of that.

holy shit you are dense... The important thing to take away from this is not that you should keep wasting your time and energy trying to understand, it's that sometimes you need to accept there are some things you won't understand and still be able to respect others and treat people the way you'd want to be treated. In fact one of the most annoying things about being trans is being forced to tolerate the allies who think they understand what being trans is like, and then tell us we're "not really trans" or something stupid.

oh got'cha... i can't even remember the last time i had any soda, maybe around 8 years ago? something like that... idk, i've never been very good at keeping track of time and i've only gotten worse

and i actually really like exercising, i just can't do it the way i did before i got sick... i used to work out an hour or so a day + go on these long fucking hikes for hours all the time... now it's like... i try to every day, but i usually have to do it in spurts cuz otherwise it's just not happening...

if it's boring then maybe you just need to try different exercises 'til you find ones you like or you need more stimulation while you do it... i've always liked the complete lack of thought required desu, i wouldn't say i ever got like a high from it but it's definitely a nice way to just turn off and not exist and get caught up in doing something
>>
>>6454656

Then you aren't liftingheavy enough.

The light headedness after some heavy squats or deads is a wonderful feeling.
>>
>>6454656
>>6455107
You actually need to be already in a quite good shape to get to the point where you can reach the high from exercising, as it requires that you do heavy training/running for long periods etc. I've never reached it yet so training feels fucking boring for me too.
>>
>>6455286

It's about patience and dedication. It's really, really worthwhile you simply have to stick it through.
>>
>>6455107
I only every get a 'high' after workouts that are at least partially cardio, never from lifting.
>>
>>6455310
Yeah I know, I've been trying to train my legs slowly to withstand running... It's a really slow process though, I get really painful shin splits easily. Kicking myself in the head now how I was really lazy as a kid and never had any active hobbies lol.
>>
>>6455359

With gains, highs

>>6455386

What about weightlifting?
>>
>>6455286
IDK if this is true or not. I've been going to the gym a lot recently and one of my favorite parts is the endorphine rush, which is literally one of the only things that makes me feel good in life besides masturbation. Anyway, when I first started going to the gym, the rush would start about 10 minutes into cardio and last for basically my entire workout, made me feel fucking awesome. Now that I'm more fit and going to the gym 3x a week for the past 3 months, it'd harder to get that endorphine rush. The last time I went to the gym I didn't get it through my 20 minutes of hard cardio, I finally got a really short rush (like 10 minutes long) when I was doing machines... sucks because it's basically one of the main motivations I have to keep going back.
>>
>>6455471
I do some weight training at home, but for me it's more important that my body is in a really good shape overall, more endurance for longer hiking trips etc. And I hate gyms and don't want to waste money on the fees, proper weightlifting is pretty impossible if you dont do it in a gym.

I'm AGP so the FTMs baffle me too, but I've started to understand them. Femaleness is utter shit to them.

>>6454654

Wow thats harsh, no wonder FTMs are willing to transition.

I've experienced dysphoria, but not to that degree.
>>
I'm doing all the exercise I can without going to a gym, and not buying weights or machines. I have a nice bar I do pull-ups and chin-ups on, which is my favorite thing to do, and I do it as much as I can.

I do a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks and squats. I run along this steep hill as far as I can which is not far, never been a runner, but most of the time I start yawning. Even when I'm sweaty, sore, and my legs are jelly.

My diet has been homemade salads with little to no dressing, fruits/berries, granola/oatmeal, extra lean beef, fish/crustaceans, and a variety of nuts. I read labels and watch my caloric intake like a boss and avoid carbs/sugar.

I mean, I'm not gonna quit, but it's been a month doing all this and I don't think I've lost a bit of fat on my belly or hips. I can feel and see results in my legs and arms, but not the areas I need to lose weight.

I also wrestle the dog a lot.

The most discouraging thing about working out is the fact that you'll have to do it for atleast few months to really see any difference... I get discouraged and bored of it really fast when I'm not seeing any improvements fast enough.
>>
>>6455671
Yeah sure but I can achieve what I want by running and working out at home etc. I'm not looking to bulge up a lot which would require weightlifting in the gym.

dawg. By the way, you can't "avoid carbs" and at the same time eat "fruits/berries". That's not how that shit works.

a month isn't gonna do jack shit for belly fat... just saying

and salads are mostly gross... especially with nothing on them, there's better more pleasant ways to be eating greens and vegetables no wonder you used the word miserable...
>>
>>6456004
>>6455770

+ fruit and berries are carbs/sugars... not saying you should avoid them, but they're both those things...

btw when you're making salad without dressing i hope you're at least using seasonings, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar etc ... shit like that... olive oil is a healthy fat you could make salad less shitty like that if you're gonna constantly eat salad...
>>
>>6455921
I'm trying to lose weight, then work on "gains" once my waist looks fine. Am I doing it wrong? I swear to god I read this on one of these threads.
>>
>>6456023
I don't mind the plain salads. Theyte usually half spinach too. It's having to drink water I hate, which I know is very sad
>>
>>6456025
>Am I doing it wrong?
yes
Resistance exercise + calorie surplus (assuming all other factors in order) = gains
Resistance exercise + calorie deficit = muscle retetion. Basically, you're risking losing some gains.
There's no reason not to lift. Assuming you're a newbie, you'll make strength gains through 'noob gains' anyway.
>trying to lose weight
>eats fruit
fruits are great, they have vitamin and some have fiber. Then there's shit like apples that are just sugar.

>taking lifting advice from the place that tells people to wear corsets
(okay I don't actually know if you people do that)
>>
>>6453956
I love how men are, i want to be like that. But i also feel extreme disgust towards my female characteristics, it gets to a point where feeling my breasts on my chests makes me want to drive a nail through my fucking head. I am terrified of growing older as a woman, of getting pregnant.
>"I don't understand why anyone would want to be a hairy, smelly, ugly, angry little man"
I guess its not just that, but more "I don't want to be a woman"
>>
>>6456084

you should eat food you enjoy not food you "don't mind" cuz i mean... it's not like you're gonna lose the weight then you're done... this is gonna just be your life now and eating shit you "don't mind" is gonna get really old... just saying

and spinach is great, but there's so many ways to eat it that aren't that... like i said it's not surprising you're using the word miserable... btw if you don't like plain water there's shit like herbal tea or you could put fruit or whatever in water... personally i'm lazy and the effort to infuse water with any kinda flavouring is more than i care to put into drinking water cuz it's fine on its own... but no offense it sounds like you're eating like someone who's eaten like shit their entire life imagines eating healthy is...

>>6456108

apples have fiber, what are you talking about? and green apples are low sugar + the fiber
>>
>>6456004
>>6456023
I find it funny how people say that plain salads are shitty etc, for me all kinds of dressings, seasonings and oils just ruin the salad and it'll taste like shit with them.
>>
>>6456108
I'm retarded. I meant I'm trying to lose fat, not weight. So if I continue to do all the workouts I'm doing now, should I be eating more calories then? And I guess I should eat less fruit.
>>
>>6456183

well... i find nothing appealing about a pile of leaves and chopped up fruit and vegetables just thrown on top of each other personally... i don't tend to eat salad at all though unless my s/o makes them and i don't use pre-packaged dressing and shit ever so yeah... if that's what you're thinking of then sure it's gonna taste like shit
>>
>>6456195

if you wanna lose fat not weight your goal should be eating to build muscle... and you know, be more patient, you're not gonna get significant results in a month like that
>>
>>6456197
>>6456183

+ if most people think something is unappetizing and you disagree you probably just have an odd eating habit... it's like me preferring cold chinese food the next day, i fucking love it but i'm aware that's not something most people find appetizing and i get why... to most people plain salad is at best edible simply cuz the things in it are usually good, but it's not like if there's a choice they'd rather eat it with nothing on it
>>
>>6455770
You are still going to gain weight if you eat a ton of "healthy" food, just saying...

No offense, but this whole post reeks of fatty logic, mostly because if you actually were doing what you are saying in the post, you would be loosing weight. Stop trying to pretend your perfect and try to recognize what's keeping you from loosing weight. I know me personally, I can keep up a good routine if all the food in the house is healthy, but if someone brings me cake or snacks I will literally eat it in a day by myself. What's really keeping you from loosing weight? Are you really working out as much as you say? Are you REALLY eating this healthy in moderate proportions?

Take measurements every few weeks - at least waist, hips and chest, maybe upper arms and thighs at the widest spot, too.

Progress is slow and creeps up on you, especially if you stay at a similar weight. I wasn't sure I was making progress at all until I looked at older pictures. Just by looking in the mirror I missed the gradual changes.

It's also possible that fat deposits in your arms and legs just go first.
>>
>>6456195
>if I continue to do all the workouts I'm doing now, should I be eating more calories then
I don't know how much you're eating, what your maintenance intake is, how patient you are, how much protein you're getting, if you're on hormones or not etc etc
If you want to lose weight, you need to eat less than what your body requires - you need to give your body a reason to tap into its resources, basically.
But you also want to gain muscle?

The usual advice is either lose fat (eat less + lifting), OR eat a bit more (a very small surplus since you're converned with your bodyfat + lifting + more protein).
Sorry for the late response, I managed to sleep.

Femaleness is like if you won the wrong prize at a carnival and weren't allowed to trade it in for the one you actually wanted.

I love beautiful women. I just don't want to be one. And as long as there's no "grow-a-dick-from-stem-cells-and-graft-it-on" deal, I'd never feel complete or comfortable being with a woman, no matter how hot she is. Bottom surgery fucking blows for FtMs.
>>
someone explain this to me; won't estrogen blockers drive you right into menopause if you're not on T? won't you basically be running on no hormones at all? why would you give kids that then?

this also goes for me. well, not a kid (though I'm pretty damn retarded a few years). I'm pretty sure I went through puberty long ago but shit man, I'm starting to notice changes at this late age and it's freaking me the fuck out. Either I'm growing a distorted vision/figure of myself, or my diet or lack of exercise is adding up to it, I don't know, but I'm going nuts. my tits have suddenly grown huge (was A, probably B-C now) and no longer a candidate for keyhole because of this.

thing is, thanks to quite amazing and very humane country laws, because I have not been accompagnied by a gender therapist for at least 2 years (1 and a half in some special lucky cases), I cannot even be considered for T. I asked said therapist about blockers and she had no idea the fuck I'm talking about, told me to ask my doc, got appt in 2 hours, but still.

does ftmg have any experience or knowledge?
>>
>>6459075
how old are you? if you're past puberty they'll be actively harmful, it's not healthy for an adult to have no sex hormones.
