Sup ASF, so let me start off by giving a bit of background on my reasons why i started on this journey.
As you'll be able to see in the photos, i had gotten to a very unhealthy size (Max weight was around 260 pounds). Age 33
That photo in particular was what set me off. I looked at it and felt completely disgusted with myself.
So that day i decided I'm not going to be fat anymore. I didn't know i was going to venture into hormone territory but I'm sure a lot of us didn't at first.
I started my diet doing keto in the beginning of April 2026. FYI i didn't know shit about dieting at this point. I watched a ton of youtube, and did a bunch of research into what the proper way of dieting was. tho my outlook has changed since i first started. no longer doing keto. I needed the carbs for my workouts.
I lost weight super fast, was averaging around 5 pounds a week at the start. That was until i hit 205 pounds in july.
At this point i was still deep into watching weight loss content and overall health vids on youtube. My feed was full of it.
You can see where this went. My feed started to push out vids from MPMD, and others in the hormone space.
I kept watching and so i decide to go get my blood work done. Surprisingly my bloods were almost perfect. ill post them as well.
The only thing was my test was at 331. I personally thought that was quite low. (But it could of been low cause of my diet but we will never know now) So i decided to try out some replacement test
Tho the replacement phase didn't last long at all. My first injection was the second to last week of July, I was shooting for 200mg per week. i knew that 200 was a lot for replacement standards, but i was already thinking about just pushing more after my first week.
So i stayed at 200mg for 2 weeks then pushed to 300 for the 3rd week, and now I'm currently on my 4th week i did push up to 400 this week "BUT" during my evening walks the passed few days ive noticed my nips felt slightly odd. They aren't hurting per say but there is a weird feeling there. So this morning i didn't push as much, i did right around .4ml which would equal to 350 mg per week on my every other day injection schedule. Today i haven't felt that feeling but I'm sure sides don't just go away after a day of adjustment. so im keeping an eye on it.
Here is my current cycle (I know extremely simple but i wanted to see how my body would react to just base test)
Test E 350 per week, Every other day injections (Sadly the sponsor i got it from is no longer on here.)
I have my mid cycle bloods scheduled for next week. I'm thinking my e2 will be quite high being that im getting early gyno signs. Tho it could just be my brain fucking with me, kind of like placebo, got scared from watching all those youtube vids about high e2 sides lol.
With all that said, i am blown away with how my body is reacting to the test, My weight has completely stalled for 3 weeks now even tho im still in that same deficit. I'm thinking my lean mass gain is counter acting my weight loss. I can tell my body fat is still going down. I'm sitting at 203 right now.
If this post gets some attention ill go into more detail, with my workout protocol and diet. Hope y'all have a good weekend.
Photos below show my natural bloods and transformation pics.
