Decent! Only 5 months on HRT and see and feel plenty of change. Really hoping certain muscles start to decrease in size - primarily shoulders and lats. All the tops I buy fit awkwardly 😞 I was also hoping my metabolism would slow down slightly and allow me to keep some fat, but my body has always liked staying lean... After so many years of bodybuilding, I'm just not in a place mentally to start eating like crazy again to help with weight gain; it's liberating to eat what and when I want. Dressing more androgenous and getting plenty of compliments on my outfits, though I consider them a compromise while my body composition adjusts. I feel really good about myself, and that's a big first for me!
