Hey ghosts in my machine! I promise not to spam post but I made a body progress college I wanted to share with you all. It's from the day I finally decided I was tired of how I was presenting and needed a change from around 8 years ago. It took my first weight loss transition to reach my goal and realize I still hated my mirror to finally be absolutely certain I was trans. It took another 7 years after that to know I couldn't just let it go.

It's been a worn tooth and nail journey, and I'm not where I want yet, but when I see myself now, I finally see me. I hope the same for you.

You look so good, I'm jealous!

Thank you so much for posting the progress pictures. I'm facing losing a similar amount of weight as part of getting to where I want to be, and you give me hope.

You can do it. Start small. Track your wins over time. It's hard but it gets easier with every win. The hardest part is your earliest wins. It stays hard but you get better at it.

Same. One of these days I'll actually get around to going to the gym (riiiight after dealing with severe executive dysfunction) and knock off a good... 80ish pounds (or at least convert a good chunk of that to muscle mass instead of fat). I got relatively lean arms and thunder thighs out of genetics, it's aaaaaall torso and moobs 😅
