OK. So... I've not been doing a very good job on reporting... Haha... From now on, I'll just report whenever I feel like it.

Okay, so with where I'm starting and my present achievements out of the way, let's recap my goals.

My external goals:

• Slim my waist to 27" and lose at least 20 lbs to do so.
  
• Increase my hip and bust while maintaining a 1:1 ratio or as close to as possible.
  
• Decrease my body hair
  
• Improve my head hair
  
• Improve my nails
  
• Thin and soften my skin
  

My internal goals:

• Bring my Testosterone levels down to as close to or within female range as possible.
  
• Bring my Estrogen levels (both from BO and PM) up to a level comparable to those of an MtF transsexual on estradiol valerate.
  
• Bring my Progesterone levels up to a level in harmony with my elevated estrogen levels.
  

Those are some hefty goals, I know!

Well, let's talk about my progress so far. It's been roughly 4 months, a bit over...

Although I don't seem to be actually losing any weight, in fact, I've gained back my past losses! I do somehow seem to actually be smoothing out my waistline anyways. There's a visible difference even if there isn't a measured one. I'm not losing any waist size either. What's there is just becoming smoother and less obviously pudgy. I still want to lose weight and a coupla waist sizes, but I don't seem to be effecting a change there. What I need to do here is figure out a way to do some targeted exercises, but in order for me to actually do that, I'd need to find a way to motivate myself to actually do it. I've never really been able to motivate myself to exercise just to exercise.

I did actually somehow have a MEASURABLE loss in my hips. This is the OPPOSITE of what I want... I want to lose my waist, not what little bit of hip padding I have! I have regained about a half inch of this though... So maybe I'll only be gaining there from now on?

My breasts have seen the most marked change, going from barely-there beestings to a definitely-there small A cup. My band size went down from a 34 to a 32. And I filled out a little more above the bust, giving me slight cleavage. This is absolutely wonderful. And it's gotten measurable now!

Other changes... My skin and nails are basically flawless now, everyone's always complimenting them, . My hair has been interesting... I seem to be losing a ton of it but growing a ton of completely new hair. I mean. My old "male" hair is being completely shed and I'm growing new "female" hair. It's softer, sleeker, finer... But I've lost basically all my length. The loss of length kinda sucks, but I am quite fond of my new hair, so I guess I just gotta let it grow out...

So lets recap my supplement plan...

My Supplement Plan (with product links):

• Ainterol Pueraria Mirifica Extract (liquid):
  I am now following a very complex cycling plan with this, which will be detailed below.
  `
  
• Progynova:
  As above, details to follow.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Menogest Progesterone Cream:
  I am also cycling this, which will be detailed below.
  `
  
• Swanson Ultra Whole Food Multi without Iron:
  Just following the product label, splitting it into 3 doses.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Full-Spectrum Chinese Skullcap:
  4 caps 3 times a day.
  4800 mg per day.
  `
  
• Doctor's Best Saw Palmetto Extract:
  1 cap in the morning and at lunch and 2 caps at night.
  1280 mg per day.
  `
  
• Swanson Ultra CoQ10/Traditional Red Yeast Rice Complex:
  Just following the product label.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Hair, Skin, & Nails:
  Just following the product label.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Vitamin B-125 Complex:
  Double dosing, breakfast and lunch.
  `
  
• Spring Valley Iron 65 mg Tablets Twin Pack:
  Double dosing, breakfast and lunch.
  

The PM and Progynova (Estradiol Valerate) are my estrogens, the Menogest is my progesterone, the saw palmetto and chinese skullcap are my anti-androgens, and the multi is just a multi, most people should honestly be on one, the CoQ10/Red Yeast Rice is for my blood pressure and accelerated heart rate problems, the hair skin and nails should be obvious, the B-complex is because I seem to have trouble getting enough B vitamins, the iron is because I've discovered I need it.

I am also on a "lean food" diet. I have severely cut back my carbs, salts, fats, etc, and am eating only high-protein foods and only eating between 900-1300 calories a day.

Further I have been continuing with my noogling, though I am not nearly as consistent with it as I ought to be.

I am certain that part of the reason the fat loss isn't occurring like desired is because I have not been getting on my bike as I had planned. When I get home from my cosmetology class all I want to do is veg. I need to figure out a way to force myself to actually start up my cycling habit again, no matter how worn out I feel after school.

I am no longer so worn out after school, but now the weather has gotten too cold to do any cycling... I guess either it'll wait until it warms up again or until I can buy a winter kit. Probably until it warms up and I'll buy a summer kit, lol.

So yeah... my plan is definitely getting some results. Hopefully the ones I'm getting continue and I can figure out a way to better target the fat burning. I'm not seeming to be doing any burning at all right now

I am finding that my new cycling plan for the three supplements I'm cycling has been much better for my mental stability and also that the addition of estradiol has greatly improved my mental stability. I am referring to estradiol as a supplement rather than as a "drug" because even though it is a pharmaceutical, it's a hormone, not a drug, and anything that's being used to supplement your natural diet or internal productions is a supplement. If we want to be picky about definitions then most of what I'm taking ARE drugs. They're just in herb form instead of extracted and processed and refined away into a drug form.

Speaking of my cycling... I'd mentioned that I'd recap that in this post as well...

So, the following chart shows the cycle:



You can also take a look at the following graph if you're more of a graph person:



I'll see about finally getting a swimsuit pic up later.

EDIT: Sorry, I did a copy and pasty and forgot to delete the loverly BO that I am no longer taking. Also forgot to change the two graphics from attachment thumbnails to full size images. Both are corrected now.
