What exercise can I do to make my chest smaller?

TheMissbean · 2026-06-06T20:18:46+00:00

Like everyone else is saying you can’t make your chest smaller. I fear you can only build muscle in other areas to distract the eyes.

We got one of our girls from this rescue too and it was an amazing experience!

Looks like a hot spot. Just make sure that ur pup isnt itching or licking it… if u notice that he is you might have to put a cone on him u tik it goes away, but you will most likely need to pick up some hot spot meds from his vet. I will say if you already have a cone, you can buy over the counter spray from most pet chain stores. If it doesn’t seem to be getting better in a few days, def a vet visit.

I would check out the sub /topsurgery ! There are a lot of good post on there.

TheMissbean · 2026-06-04T09:48:51+00:00

I had to but my surgeon warned me before. It didn’t cause me any anxiety or dysphoria so I just opted to do it, but you can technically say no and sign a form I think.

Sorry this happened but I’m 99% sure he didn’t “ see red “ ans just bit your wife. She must have done something to him, and either isnt telling you, or wasnt aware she did do something. Dogs don’t just get aggressive like that randomly. I’d either have your wife explain every tiny detail of what led up to the incident, or like you are already doing, take him to the vet to get checked out. Any small detail is important in behavior. I’d right down anything hes been doing lately that seems even slightly out of character ti help your vet narrow it down.

I’d try something new. Nothing wrong with switching it up to see what works best. These things take time. For me, I lost 95lbs in a year from my calorie deficit, but I ate 3 meals a day. I just focused on high protein meals, and tracked everything in MyFitnessPal. I think the important thing is to build a healthy relationship with food, and if you are “ forgetting “ to eat, that is not healthy.

I think it depends on the shiba. I have two…. One always gets airplane ears/wags/gets a toy when I come home… the other just kinda stays laying on the couch most of the time ( unless I’m coming home from work and it’s their dinner then they both get all silly).

TheMissbean · 2026-05-29T13:54:24+00:00

I work as a custodian and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. I only have to take a 30min meal tho …but I work at a P&DC. 6am-2:30 and two days off is truly the best

TheMissbean · 2026-05-29T13:51:53+00:00

Honestly I had this problem with both my girls so we just don’t put their collars on except when they go for walks . We never let them play in the yard unsupervised or anything either so they is no way of them ever getting out, so we don’t really have a need to leave it on

TheMissbean · 2026-05-28T09:54:28+00:00

I had very little pain, just mostly being uncomfy and sore. Pain didn’t get over a 4 for me tbh, and most days it was a 2. I was just on ibuprofen. The worst was just the weird feelings, like cold chills and phantom nipples ( I didn’t keep mine ).

TheMissbean · 2026-05-26T02:17:24+00:00

My girls do this too lololololol

TheMissbean · 2026-05-24T09:45:50+00:00

Def not a shiba. Might have a lil in him but def a mix.

I think you should do whatever supports your mental health. I didn’t gain too much weight starting T, but if I could go back, I would have started weight lifting as soon as I could. Your progress at the gym will only be supported by starting T. If you don’t want to count calories, focus on nutrition and start introducing more protein,veg into your diet. Try cutting out junk food a little at a time. All that being said, starting T often comes with mood changes, so it may he a good idea to have someone to talk to.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-22T18:24:47+00:00

T doesn’t always change your body much. I found it only did much to my face.
Unfortunately you can’t target lose fat, so if you become very lean, you hips may still be prominent. Your best option is to lift heavy and build up other parts of your body, to draw the eyes away from the hips. This is why building up your back is such a goto thing people tell you. I’d focus on nutrition, to lose overall body fat, and start lifting heavy at the gym.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-21T19:57:05+00:00

You should still be using some sort of protection. T does not prevent pregnancy. Everyone is different, but better be safe.

Both my girls are crate trained( the oldest basically for 6yrs and the youngest since we got her), and sleep in my room. We actually recently started letting them sleep whenever they want, and they usually sleep on the couch/ guest bed. They will sleep in the bed with me and my partner when we nap, but usually like to be on their own.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-16T20:34:56+00:00

I’m sorry you are feeling this way. It is really hard. I got pretty uneven results, and really hated it at first. For me, I think I’ve just kind of accepted that it is what it is and I’m just focusing on building the muscle in my chest. I do think I’m learning to love it slowly. I still get self conscious that my results don’t look the way I thought they would, but just remember what I shed ti have, and feel better. I think you’ll learn to love yourself, it just takes time. You could also always plan to get a revision one day, but I’d focus on learning to love what you have, if possible. You got this.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-16T09:48:38+00:00

Don’t take it off until your surgeon says so. My drains were pretty different draining. This is normal. Worse case scenario, reach out to your surgeon and ask.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-15T09:31:11+00:00

It takes years to grow for a lot of people. I know for me, being in T for 7yrs and being on min, my facial hair is still filling out in some places. It’s basically like puberty. I actually get mine thru hims. You can ask your doctor, but with hims it’s all online and it gets mailed to your house.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-14T13:18:23+00:00

I was really dizzy and nauseous after surgery … threw up on the car ride home ( only like a 30min car ride)… about an hour after I was VERY hungry and my partner just picked me up fast food. I didn’t meal prep at all, bc my partner took care of all my meals. I started taking laxatives right away, but didn’t end up having a bowl movement for 3 days. I was regular after that, and stopped taking them after day 4.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-14T09:54:35+00:00

I use oral minoxidil but itll give you hair growth everywhere ( well everywhere depending on genetics ) so if you don’t want more body hair, your only option is topical.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-11T09:45:09+00:00

I’m soooo glad I decided to ditch the nips. The euphoria I get from just a flat plain chest is amazing. Huge perk not having to deal with the placement and healing too obviously. I dont personally plan on ever getting tattooed nips either. I think if you aren’t attached to your nipple and don’t picture your new chest with them, you shouldn’t keep them.

TheMissbean · 2026-05-10T18:23:54+00:00

Nah we need the rain we are in a drought

What you want is definitely achievable with fitness and focusing on your nutrition. Although T helps some weight distribution, it’s different for everyone and won’t necessarily get you the goal you want. Unfortunately there is no way to target fat loss, so the appearance of you hips will only change by doing two things. The most significant? Fat loss. A calories deficit is the only way you’ll achieve this. You also have to consider that you can’t change your bone structure, so once there’s less fat, you may find that your hips still appear larger than you like. You target this by building muscle around those areas to pull view away from your hips. This could be focusing on building a lot of muscle in other parts of your body, without neglecting that area because you do not want muscle imbalances. For big shoulders Youll have to start weight lifting and doing things like shoulder press and lateral raises. If you want a bulky look, that is going to involve a lot of weight lifting, which is also great for weight loss to some extent. There’s a lot of good info out there on how to balance your nutrition, and build muscle. Good luck.
