So far HRT is going very well, I’m generally much happier.

tho I’m wondering a few things for my femmaxxing :3

  • How do I train ‘curves’? What’s the best routine? I know getting weight in the first few months may help, but what about exercise? Do these help with getting more ‘meat’ on my butt, hips, and breasts? If so, what kind of exercises should I do?
  • What kind of food to eat would help best?
  • Is a growth from 75B to 80C in 7 months slow or quick?
  • Any things I could do to appear more fem? I already wear high-waisted jeans, and I wear a bra. I prefer a generally ‘neutral’ ish fashion (neither very skirty nor motorjacketty), kinda tomboyish, though I’m fine with other options also.
  • I take a more femme walk (the hrt unironically helps me with that) nowadays as well. Behaviour ideas, maybe?
  • fill in whatever tips, i’m happy to answer questions!

    About 1 months to lose, 2 to regain. ~3.5% of body mass. Normal amounts of weekly exercise throughout (walking, stair climbing, calisthenics).

      quick googling shows that fat memory operates over a decade

      https://www.dw.com/en/fat-cell-memories-why-its-hard-to-maintain-healthy-weight/a-70840434

      “In the timespan we looked at — 2 years in humans and 8 weeks in mice — we still found changes that persisted in cells of the adipose tissue. It is possible that these will be erased over a longer period of weight maintenance,” Hinte told DW.

      Human fat cells live for around 10 years, which means it could take 10 years for the obesity memory in cells to vanish.

      that’s super disheartening 😞

      I mostly spent the first year on estrogen gaining weight, I was worried that losing weight during early breast growth would be a problem, but my high body fat might have made that irrelevant - my breasts seem to maintain the same relative size, as I lose weight I seem to lose it from all over in roughly equal proportions? I wish my neck, shoulders, and belly would melt, though.
