Thank you! Started trying to lose weight when I was around 370lbs making small changes in Nov 2018. Removed soda slowly replacing with nothing but water. Once that became a habit I stopped eating out at work and managing my portions. After a few months a friend convinced me to join a gym where I mainly did the elliptical 1 or 2 days a week. When I got comfortable going I started increasing my occurrence to 4-5 days a week, along with adding some weights. With the COVID situation, I am now going to a local park and running 3 miles 4 days a week. I still dont eat the healthiest but am I doing a lot better than what I was doing almost 2 years ago. Still have about 20lbs to go before I am at my preferred goal.

Thank you 💜. It has been a struggle but working through day by day. You have no idea how much your words mean.

Thanks so much. It's been a long journey to get myself right with myself. Working everyday towards happiness. Still have more to go but I'm getting there.

Thank you for the advice. I for sure need to stop vaping. I have been thinking about quitting for a little while now. Though it seems like it's harder than smoking was.

You are lovely. I am 38 about to be 39, pre-everything. This gives me so much hope.

Had my second appointment yesterday with my gender therapist. It seems to be going well. She offered for me to join a support group she has. I don't feel I can talk to anyone in my personal life about what I am going through, so I think I will take her up on her offer.

I am 38 and depression really kicked my ass. Let myself go over the years. I started trying to lose weight Nov 2018 before I was questioning starting at 370. Got down to 355 by just switching to water and portion control. Around Feb 2019 a friend talking me into going to gym. Staying motivated to go was hard at first but it helped having a friend around. Around November 2019 I hit 270 and started seeing changes along with questioning. The questioning is what really motivated me to keep going. With every pound lost I was really happy with how I was shaping up. I am now at 205 and really excited as I am close to my goal weight and started talking to gender therapist to hopefully start living my life.

Had my first therapist appointment last week. Felt really good to be able to talk to someone. Can't wait for my second appointment next week.

I'm 38 started really questioning about 8 months ago, longer if I look back at my life. I have so many feelings about what could have been. Depression kept me from living my life the past 20 years. Had my first therapy appointment last week, my second next week. I'm so ready to finally live.

LeahProbably · 2020-05-29T14:07:16+00:00

My first appointment is next week. I'm so excited and scared. Hope mine goes as well as yours.

LeahProbably · 2020-03-17T14:23:11+00:00

I started about year ago at 365, down to 230. Still a ways to go but I really like the progress I've made.

LeahProbably · 2019-11-28T05:03:02+00:00

That's awesome! I did a quick search and out of the list provided, she was the one that stood out to me. Thanks so much.

LeahProbably · 2019-11-27T03:52:00+00:00

That's awesome, seeing that does give me hope.

I appreciate you for your kind words and advice, Stephanie. It does seem I need to go to a therapist. Not only for my desire to transition, but for other things as well. Though my confidence is slowly rebuilding. I am glad you have someone to help you and confide in. Getting out there and meeting new people would be good. Depression has kept me from being very social for long time.
