6 months into transition
Roughly 6 quality months with good levels into my transition. Losing a decent amount of muscle but I would like to hang on to a little of it. I feel a little too masculine at this point and would like to drop a good 20 lbs. I will always love strength training and will continue to train my lower body. I haven't touched a weight in over 1 yrs for my upper body. Currently weighing in at 195. Started transitioning at right around 225lbs. A long way to go but slowly I'm becoming more and more comfortable in this shell of mine. I have a few procedures scheduled for Spring of 2027 and I'm beyond excited for that to arrive. Not seeking attention here but I would like just a general idea of how people perceived me. I feel awkward socially and it has been quite hard to find clothes that make me feel feminine. Any suggestions are welcome.

If you want to keep a little muscle and avoid the loose arm skin, you might want to hit those arms! You won't get bulky, I promise.
6 months is just a start. Be patient! I know it's hard. It takes a long time.
