My weight gain... I feel fat, but am I really?

[KiraHarden]

I have gained 40lbs since I changed from my estrogen patch to the injection (Delestrogen ) since dec 07

I have always been about 190lbs which when I was living male put at 20lbs under weight for my frame

Guys say I look great (brickhouse) body say the fine black men, but I'm not use this weight and 40lbs feels like a ton.

My eating habits are the same

Is my body just finally filling out. I'm just entering my 4th year on hrt. Should I be overly concered or just enjoy a more shapely figure

I stand 6-3 med frame
Most weight is going to my waist hips and thighs

There's nothing sexy about flab. Exercise once in a while.

If the weight is going to your wasit, hips and thighs, imo that's a good thing. Most women have more padding around those areas then men do. It's hard for us to tell with out pics to help us. But if you think you are getting too big for your liking, start a work out progrom to drop a few pounds. Overall it's really your own choice.

Not true at all. Some plus size girls carry their weight very well. It just depends on the frame she has. I have seen women around 190lbs that look like crap. But then I would see another woman the same size and she looks amazing, a little chubby isn't always a bad thing.

eh, for a dude 6-3 190 is about average, and not underweight by any means :/

a chick should probably weigh much less

I was skinny at 190, if I weighed less I would be a bean pole and look sickly

[blckhaze]

If you fell better around 190-200, then ok.


and for the record, the next skinny heffa to complain about adding 5 lbs. is gonna get punched in the implant.

Maybe I should have directed this question to the girls.

Its more of a question of...to lose my male shape is it normal for our bodies gaining Weight to have a feminine figure.

Girl rather you are 190 or 230, you are still beautiful!

So let the haters hate!

But beauty also comes from within! And girl you have a whole lot of beauty there :)

[Moon_Lover]

You look wonderful sis as Kelly says beauty is inside. Take no notice of the nasty comments from people who only see what they want to see.

to lose my male shape is it normal for our bodies gaining Weight to have a feminine figure.

The shape isn't going to change unless new fat deposits start to build up in certain areas (i.e. breasts, ass, thighs etc).

As to whether or not that causes a numeric gain in weight, I'm not convinced it has to. Muscle is heavier than fat, and people on hrt unless they continue to work out, usually have a lot of muscle mass convert itself to fat, sometimes it stays in the same area as where the muscle was, sometimes it doesn't. If the change in weight is only occurring from muscle mass becoming fat tissue, then you should see a numeric weight decrease, not increase.

However at the same time, estrogen is supposed to, for girls, cause their bodies to efficiently store fat, as a defense mechanism to give the body enough energy (stored in fat) to carry threw a pregnancy while suffering from food shortages. That's the biological reason, if there were one, behind there being "curves" at all- and it also explains why straight men seem pre-wired to a point to like curves, a women who has them is more likely to have the baby survive pregnancy when times are tough.

My diet hasn't changed a lot since I started hrt, I've been on it for almost 6 years now and I've gained less than 10 lbs since. I know my body's shape is different, because the clothes I had when I started hrt, doesn't fit me now.

As long as you feel good about it Kira, enjoy yourself. I've been trying to gain weight for as long as I can remember. I'm only an inch shorter than you and I weigh 131 lbs, and I would happily throw another 40 on if I knew how.

Really, what type of frame are you? Yeah I had problems gaining weight when I was about your age, till I joined army. Then I bulked up when I came back from the war

Bone mass on genetic male and a genetic woman are different, so you cant judge yourself based on your weight. Keep an eye on your clothing size, when you hit Lane Bryant then worry about it lol.

Aphoto of how you look now would help me to give an informed opinion.
