[The First Aria]

I can`t really comment on areolas as mine just grew without any special treatment, as for Hips and Butt etc... I`v found the key is Eating!
not sure how it works on a non traditional (Blockers and E at a transition dose) regime of just E, but Eating is sooo important.
My wieght went up and down all the while during my almost 2 years on HRT, I lost a lot of muscle mass (and strength) but also gained quite a bit of subcutanuios fat all over that seemed to have rounded off all the edges, even on my toes! you`ll look a lot smoother / sleeker and gain curves. don`t worry too much about belly fat (I did) during this 2 years this has altered too, and don`t forget that your waist line will become a lot higher! (just above the belly button), and pelvic tilt will also make it look a lot more female, forget flat stomach ideals, that`s for the Young girls, Not middle aged women!
but it`s important to eat, and eat a lot! including "junk" it won`t do you any harm, the fat has to come from somewhere ;
interestingly, my Overall weight is actually Less than before I started so it`s really nothing to worry about. you`ll know when you`ve got it right, you`ll cut yourself less when shaving your legs! LOL

I have to go along with Katie.  My G.D. suggested my weight would probably go up about 5 - 10 lbs due to body trying to "re-format" itself.  He suggested not to worry about weight gain till I had been on HRT for at least 18 months as I would loose muscle mass and gain the nice fat, as he put it.  Also, since going on Progesterone, it would retain water for me until my body found it's new norm.
