Testosterone is key to this physiology of being able to build muscle.

Absolutely.

@medgirl

found this doctor was running a side hustle dispensing testosterone in a ‘clinic’.

Also, shady AF. Ew.

I’ve lost TPSTOW, however, by eating less and… not working out at all. This summer I easily dropped 6-8 lbs in less than 2 months

But was it only fat, or muscle and fat?

Most of us don’t need to lose muscle.

Likely both, but since I am in Berlin ATM, i.e. nowhere near that magic scan machine, I can only go by what the scale said before it burst into a million pieces.*

*Not out of shock over my elfin-like waifness I nudged it underneath the shelf it lives (or rather, used to live), and it musta hit a sensitive spot. This was well over a week ago.

Until I get back home, I’ll have no idea what I weigh, nor what my body composition is. I can tell by how my clothes fit, though. Out of formerly 3 bellies, I only have one left. I can live with that. That would def be fat loss, tho.

Since we’re set to start up our PT sessions again the week after our return, I am certainly hoping to beef up on muscle. And I am very curious about the next scan.

Yes the machine in my pcp’s office is exactly as you describe.

And I have found that, no matter how many steps, no matter how many workouts… weight loss is entirely about food intake. Exercise is good and healthy, but unless you spend 4-5 hours at the gym every day, it’s irrelevant.

Exactly.
