My weight loss journey

[BiNudeVoyage]

Hello everyone,

so I’m starting my journey for weight loss I’m 5 foot 10 and weight 330lbs. My goal is to get to 180 or so.

I do have a goal for my physique in the end but it’s not a standard muscular build as my main goal is to be more comfortable in my own body.

i like to crossdress and wear feminine clothes, lingerie etc

when wearing work clothes I plan to try and look male and have shoulders that fill out my clothes but I will be doing my best to have a more feminine physique when nude as I’d like to have a flat stomach and a tight waist and nice butt and hips and thighs.

i am reaching out here as i plan to post my progress over the months and i am also looking for any pointers for diets and exercise help as i want to get healthier. 

id also be open to any insight for skin care routine to have better smoother firm skin.

anyway, thats my post feel free to comment here or reach out to me if you have any ideas or recommendations.

When I quit smoking, many years ago, I needed a lot of help.  One piece that stuck with me was to remind myself, during urges, "what do you really want?" I wanted to be a non-smoker.

That might sound glib to many, but I found it helpful. Sounds like you outlined your goals, "what you really want."

If you find yourself wanting a snack, perhaps you can fill the void with a tall glass of water.

If you are able, keep moving.   Perhaps get a pair of walking shoes and take walks.

Good luck!

There are many different factors when it comes to weight loss. In general it is diet and exercise. The main thing to do with diet is to cut out processed foods, alcohol and sugar. Eating protein and good fat tends to be the formula for success. I try to limit my carbs to fruits and vegetables. No breads or pastas. As far as working out, start slow. I try to do around 200 minutes of cardio a week and lift weights about four days a week. I think the key to weight loss is the mentality. It is a lifestyle and don't get overwhelmed by it. I wish you luck. I'm sure you will do well.

I lost almost 60lbs in the past eight months and have gained some muscle as well. My goals are a standard fit gym bro look, lol. 

Just to preface, everyone's bodies, habits, lifestyles are different so what worked for me, might not work for you but I found the following helpful: 

• Calculate how many calories your body needs to maintain, lose, or gain weight first. There are many online calculators that can give you a rough idea. That's your starting point.
• Be okay eating the same food everyday, it makes the process smoother and you're less likely to fall off the wagon. 
• Meal prep (related to the one above). You'll have less decision fatigue. Choose meals that are easy to prepare. 
• Input your calories into MyFitnessPal or some sort of calorie tracking app. You need to know how much you're eating in order to lose the weight.
• Be okay with being hungry. This will be tough, especially in the beginning.
• Gym x 3 to 4 times a week. You don't need to lift too heavy if you're looking for a more feminine look, but doing some lifting will tone your body up as the fat drops off. There are plenty of online programs you can follow. You don't need to spend hours in the gym, usually 45 minute session will do. 
• If you're going to have a "cheat" meal, make it one with friends or family and limit it to only ONE meal (not day) per week. 

You will see results if you're consistent with it, but you have to track and continue to do this and to maintain this. This is a lifestyle change.

With one central goal that of being healthier, every 5 pounds, arguably every pound if not quibbling about plus/minus fluctuation, is genuinely meaningful. Every consecutive 5 pounds eliminated also represents an increasingly greater percentage of each iteration of baseline weight. I only say this because I and others have found the idea of small attainable increments of change to be helpful. I also found that getting formal coaching … there are variations to this type of support, of course … helped me to avoid RSVPing to my own pity parties and then enduring the regret of a lapse.

One particularly life-changing bodywork endeavour spanned three years, but with added challenging and cheering on from sources external to my own self-talk. It turned out that occasionally asserting to myself that I could not do the hard thing was entirely off the mark. Such a time period seems endless until realizing at the end that it flew by. 

There is no lack of information on the means to progressively losing weight and achieving the desired changes. It rests on perseverance.

I’m going to admit I went from 5’8” 250 to now 180ish over acouple years now.  I got serious about working out back in December which got me from 205 to 180.  It’s been a journey.  
 

Look into GLP-1 coverage with your doc.  One of my docs pretty much told me he’d endorse it with my primary care.  That took me from 250 to 205 with some discipline required on my part too.  
 

The next bump in weight loss came with gym time.  My goal is lower bf %, and my frame can put on weight. Combine that with TRT, I had some synthetic youth advantage there for muscle gain. That’s not your goal.  That’s okay.  
 

Where to start?  
Appetite control - look into GLP-1  they make a cheaper pill form that has some limitations, but it’s accessible. 

Start tracking your food intake. $20 for ChatGPT helps me.  I take pics of food labels, I have a running chat that tracks my food with my goals.  ChatGPT surprisingly decent at it.  
 

Exercise - walking that’s it.  Don’t go nuts with it. Try to work up to 10k steps.  Movement is key.  Do not attempt running - walking beats running especially for bigger folks.  You don’t need to beat up your joints.  If you have an Apple Watch, it will track your activity. 
 

Movement - get up for 5 minutes every waking hour.  Deskjob is a modern killer.  Apple Watch will also remind you here too.  

Good luck, get started and stay consistent. 
When you start to slip, get back on track.  
when you don’t feel like doing the work, start a 5 minute walk.  
after you eat, walk for 10 minutes 

 

if you have regular gogo boy in your life, tell them you are trying to lose weight.  When they notice, you will end up using that motivation. 
Some of the GoGo boys at the Lucky Horseshoe are my personal cheering section.

I didn’t think providers would end up being in my cheering section, but they show up with genuine compliments.  Yes, there’s a financial stake in flattering you, but seriously you know when you put in the work and deserve it.  It’s nice to hear it from all walks.  

Your friends will encourage you as well.  Hearing it from someone you want to see naked though, that motivates!

Back a bit, I lost 70 pounds in a year on diet alone.  I was working and did not make time for exercise.  Notice, I did not say I did not have time for exercise.  I think that is the biggest cop out to exercise saying you are too busy.  But in any case, I did not exercise much in that year.  I did follow a strict diet with large salads for lunch and dinner.  Those salads included protein, small amounts of cheese, dried cranberries, crumbled rice cake, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, carrots topped with a low calorie yogart based salad dressing.  All told, about 350 to 500 calories per meal.  For breakfast I had two boiled eggs, grapefruit and occasionally oatmeal or toast.  Dessert, if I chose one was a rice cake with a tsp of peanut butter.    Once I got used to the regimen, it was fairly easy to follow.   

Now a big help was to keep a large calendar posted on my refrigerator.  Each day I would give myself either a gold star or a big red X.  The stars were the kind you see on kindergarteners papers and the red X was done in marker.  It was a very visible reminder of how well I was following through on my commitment.  My limit was three red Xs a month.  So no cheat days or cheat meals scheduled in, just a day when I either purposely or weakly did not stay on the diet.   

I did not weigh myself except on day one and day 366.  The daily fluctuations of weight can be disheartening.  At the end of the year, I had lost 70 pounds and felt great.  Unfortunately, a year later, I became ill, any semblance of control was lost and I did gain the weight back.  To truly say you have lost weight is to keep it off for at least two year.  

Good luck with your diet.  I am now doing diet and exercise and though I have been good about both, especially the exercise, the weight has not come off very quickly (my trainer weighs me every six weeks and I know the variation but not the acutal weight).  However, I have lost 2 pants size and one shirt size and that is reinforcement enough.

I used to be a competitive bodybuilder.  I had a terrible time, during competitions, with my spray tan starting to look patchy later in the day. I would look great early in the day just after it was applied, but as the day progressed it started to look patchy and I would have to have touch-ups, which wasn't a very good solution at all. One of the women told me that women tended to be very conscientious about skin care -  exfoliating and applying moisturizing lotion regularly -  and had no problems like I was having.  I started doing that  - moisturizing lotion head to toe - every day and exfoliating 2-3 times a week. Problem solved.  My skin looked great all the time and the problem with spray tan looking patchy completely went away.

I never had a weight problem--I was always naturally skinny, just like my father.  I also worked out at a gym regularly for most of my youth and middle age, and when I retired, I became an almost daily tennis player. However, in old age I have become less physically active for several reasons, and not long ago, I caught a glance of myself after getting out of the shower, and I was shocked to realize that for the first time in my life, I have a bulge around my waist, even though my overall weight has only slightly increased (I am now 5'10" and 148 lbs.). I have an annual physical coming up with my doctor, and I intend to ask his advice about the appropriate way to deal with it, because I have never dieted at any time in my life. (OK, I'll admit it: I hope he will suggest some kind of shot or pill that will deflate my spare tire.)

Unfortunately marked central adiposity is common with aging even with good nutrition, exercise, and unremarkable lab results … unless of course an embryo was secretly planted in one’s abdominal cavity. Far more likely is that my waistline has taken out a reverse mortgage on the rest of my physique. 

It just isn’t highlighted in the brochure for turning 60, what have you. There’s no reliable way to spot-lose belly fat. To me the target that is healthier and more realistic than chasing the tape measurement I had at age 35 is maintaining strength, mobility, and metabolic health. 

But if you are otherwise thin and up to it, pectoral development … flat or incline press, flys, &c …  will visually offset the differential.
