I'm not sure where I heard this quote,
but it pretty much sums up my mind set as I
take this giant step. In my mind, there
is no going back now.

I won't bore you with the details of how I
came to realize what I am and how deal with it,
it is a story you've heard many times
and many of you could tell it yourself.

As of Oct 1, I was 59 years, 2 months, and
4 days old.

Oct 1, 2016, I began taking
feminizing hormones. I've always had a reason
not to begin hormones, but, about a
month ago, I concluded, there
will always be reasons not to begin. I
decided Oct 1 is as good a day as any.
So here I am.

Following are a few details about what
has happened so far.

I am 6 feet tall, about 183 cm, and weigh 175 lbs, about 80 kg.

I have not cut my hair for 2 years, 8 months.

For over 2 years, I've been taking a DHT blocker
which helpsnhair growth on the scalp and helps reduce
body hair.

I began electrolysis to remove my facial
hair, 1 year, 7 months ago. I've had 181 hours
of electrolysis, and I am finally getting
some results. I still have a lot of
whiskers on my cheeks and neck, but not so
much on the front of my face. I hope to
be pretty much whisker free in 6 months.

I've recorded all of my measurements. I work
out with weights a few times a week and I plan
on continuing to do so. I've recorded my maximum weight
and reps for a number of exercises. I plan on tracking my
measurements and strength on a monthly basis to
measue the affect of the hormones and track my progress.

I have also taken a number photos. I plan on tracking
the visible physical affects, also, on a monthly basis.

I've been reading about and evaluating hormone
regimes for over 2 years. I believe the regime
I've settled on will give me full femization in
about 2 years.

Here goes nothing, wish me luck!

Best of luck to you. I'm glad you finally decided to not let anything stop you. Maintain that attitude, and you'll get through this just fine. :battingeyelashes:
