With weight loss?
I know it causes a redistribution of fat
And I also know that guys lose weight easier than girls
So does testosterone help you lose weight as well a redistribute it?

I have actually read, in quite a few places actually, that on testosterone you will gain weight. This may not be fat, as your muscles will be changing while you are on HRT, but with the fat redistribution, instead of it going to your hips, it will go to, say... your stomach.

You may look larger due to that, and weigh more due to the muscle.

I personally plan to counter this with exercise and a healthy eating regimen.

For the first... seven months or so, I was losing about two pounds a month. I've just started gaining back about the same rate. i swim laps or do water aerobics three times a week, which I was doing before. I look fatter though because fat that was evenly distributed is now concentrated in my gut.

I've gained about half a stone? I didn't eat a lot before i was on hormones and now i eat like a horse lol. It made me eat loads for the first four months.
