Holy shit, would have sworn you were post op. You look great.
I went from 183 to 139lbs (30.5 to 23.1BMI) on T, and I look and feel so much better. No more double chin, dropped multiple pants sizes and men's pants fit much better now, forearms leaned out so you can see veins, and most importantly my liver counts and HA1C went back to normal and sleep improved. Goal is to build more muscle because I don't like staring at my ribs.
When I first went on T I actually balooned a bit. Downloaded MFP, changed my diet to be more balanced, stuck with it.

Thanks bro, Kaiser in California wants me to lose more weight. I've been appreciative about being turned down last year, but it still fucks me up.
Honestly, I am not sure how much I weighed pre-t because I was terrified of weighing myself, I think I was @ 250-260lbs. I was a size 44 in pants now I am at 34.
Only downfall of weightloss is buying new clothing, every month or so.

Goodwill for clothes, dude. Also Poshmark is okay cause you can buy/sell used clothes....shipping is just hella high. You don't look like a fool, but your pre pic kinda reminds me of Cookie from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Lol. You look great.
Edit: just the style. Church nerd or some shit. Still cute

Damn dude. You went from looking like a dad to a date.
Seriously though, losing weight felt impossible before starting T. But once my dysphoria started improving it got easier to stop using food as a crutch. (It’s not magic - I still have to put in work like anyone losing weight - but that’s the beauty of modern medicine)

Yes! I feel the same way bro, before T I was a emotional eater. I would eat because I was bored, I didn't listen to no one when they said I was getting too big for my height..but once I gotten my first injection..I've been motivated since!

Damn, you look about 10 years younger now.

You looked fine to me. JMHO. You look damn good now. I'm insanely jealous of that beard. Keep it up, Bro!
I was about 218-220 at the end of December. I got down to 197 last week, but carbs happened so I'm back to about 200. LOL!

Thank you! I am very insecure about my beard! I wish it could grow higher on my cheeks

As a big guy struggling to lose weight to look more masculine, this is exactly what I needed to see today.

Keep up the great work, man! 🤘

Goals dude. I'm sitting about 250 and I'm making a concerted effort to drop weight for the first time. Always just accepted I was the fat guy. Your before after is proof enough I can do this too.
2
Anyone can do it! It's all mental, before transitioning I didn't have the motivation to be healthy and lose weight..but when I got my first injection, I was determined to better myself and become the man that I wanted to be, that I envisioned. If you need any tips how to get started, hit me up!

Thanks for the inspiration. You look great. I didnt care about my body before T and hit 250lbs. After my first injection i vowed that I would start taking care of myself. Its been 8 months and I've changed alot of my eating habits and have been working out 3 days a week. It has been rough as my schedule is always full. But I'm down to 222lbs but I seem to be stuck there for the past couple of months. Thanks for the inspiration to keep at it.

Also I bet we’re similar ages, I think trans guys of our age ALL tried that look at one point, thanks Matt Smith, I have a deeply tweed blazer in my closet because of that.
