  1. Wow wearing a corset today -  It has been quite a while since I tried one of my corsets on and now that I am losing more weight again I am quite happy with the fit.

    Side note,  I just had a massage and leg wax, two days ago, and my therapist told me my "thin" legs would be the envy of many of the women she does as she made my legs bikini ready, smooth and silky, and she really noticed I had lost weight; called me "stick" person. She also noticed my arms were much smaller.  (definitely smaller, more feminine and less muscular than hers)

    Anyway - So I have a wonderful size 28" corset - Today as I schinced it down I started at about 32" waist and to get to 29.25" was the best I could do.  Still really does change my figure a lot.  Photo below.  Wearing my new Sweetheart Leotard. I have gone about half way now in losing weight to my goal of 138.  I am quite sure I will be able to make the 28" corset size when I get there.  Yes looking more feminine every day and loving it. :)

      Dear Dawn,

      Love your new corset and the complimentary burgundy unitard over it. The unitard fits you like a glove. Your figure is getting more feminine all the time!

      Your friend,

      Monica

  2. Was jogging with two of my girl friends last Saturday.  And a middle aged lady drove up by us and said she said to us "glad to see three pretty college girls out running" was "proud of us" for running.  (Yes, I was one of the three)  :)

      Another day of jogging, just being myself. Today I was jogging, wearing a blue bra tank top and women's; running shorts, Sun glasses, shoes and hat, near a construction site and a worker who was trying to make me turn back called me "Misses" two times as I told him that I could make it around the location without getting in their way.  I said "I can get safely around."  Still, as I did continue he and several other workers seemed to be staring at me.  Just tried to act normal but I did not want to have to go back away from the road they were closing down for traffic.  On another jog I had the below photo taken, from a few months ago; I finally had the courage to wear this pink running outfit on a 5 mile run and maybe it was too much pink, but I really liked the way the bra top and running skirt formed to my body shape.

  3. 30,000 views of my page - so super - I just wish I could hug everyone - but of course there is this virus to deal with.   Here is my latest photo/s.  Dawn :)

      Dear Dawn,

      Don't know if you recall, but we once had a weekly telephone support group.

      Wonder if we can start it again, probably using Zoom.

      Keeping busy with telephone Town Hall meetings, webinars, taking classes, etc.

      Would you be open to a TGGuide Zoom support group?

      Am doing fine. How are you doing?

      Your friend,

      Monica

      Would love to do this - However,  I do not think I could do it while my wife is home.  She only partly supports the feminine body changes I have made.  She told me that she already sees me much more as a woman. but rather would not.  My wife was supportive for me going to a local counseling service for transgender people.  However, this along with everything else is currently closed. :(

      Dawn, that's a great picture of you!

  5. My Latest Salon Experience.

    Today was my final run to the salon I go to - as after today - it is closed due to the Virus Concerns.  But what a great experience I had today.  Putting the main phrase up front about how well I passed at the salon my stylist in her parting comment to me knowing that I would be at home a lot in the next few days; was that she "did not want me to come back pregnant."  Currently this is not possible, but she did have me walking out of the salon looking very much the lady.   I had everything done today almost like a fire sale because I would be one of her last customers for a currently unknown period of time.  Anyway I just had gotten a new set of lady's glasses made that I was wearing for the first time and I was not wearing a single item of menswear.  Yes, I had on a teal nice bra and some flowery lingerie beneath my women's sports wear.  I also had on some of my favorite perfume. 

    Before I went my wife had told me to have a wonderful girls experience at the salon.  So I had a manicure, a pedicure, my brows waxed and my hair cut and colored in a feminine style.  My stylist told me I was "beautiful" as I left, she actually appears to delight in making me look feminine, and most of those in the salon did not blink an eye as most of them believed me to be a woman; really.  Also - I have to admit she likes showing her muscles to me that are maybe a couple of inches larger than my soft arms. Then she said she was worried for me as I looked so beautiful that she thought I might be pregnant (Yes me) when we next see each other.  I am actually thinking I will go in when I next get to see her and maybe pad my middle a bit, for a joke on her. 

    The colors she got me for my manicure and pedicure she was calling "the pandemic."  I really mean this in a good way - in fun - but I do realize this is also a very serious. Attached are a few photos of my nails hair, and glasses and a new swimsuit and surf coverup shirt my wife helped me pick out for a future trip to the beach.  

    Anyway today for me was a fun day - Still I am concerned for everyone as we go into a lock down to keep people safe during this national crisis/pandemic.

  6. UPDATED ITEM - Monica thanks so much for your encouragement and complements on my outfits ♥️  l keep looking at myself and I try to see what you see in me.  I am now becoming more aware of how I have physically changed.  My breasts are now real and natural - no forms needed any more. Even though I am heaver than I would like to be I feel I have become softer and more rounded 

    It was so neat to pack almost all women's outfits for this trip.  Did not waste too much of my space with men's stuff. Yes this experience excites and humbles me.  I am starting to be aware of how from feminine I have become.

    So far on this trip I had a younger man flatter me and called me Mamm and direct me to the Lady's Room.  I did not even try to correct him. 

    I am expecting more positive encounters tomorrow. 

    Thanks for being my sister ❤️ Dawn

      Dear Dawn,

      Your salon worker was saying that you look pregnant as a woman's skin improves (softer and clearer) when she is 🤰 pregnant. They really do glow!

      Yours truly,

      Monica

       

  7. Tomorrow I return to my normal unisex life.  I have had a great time on this last trip to Florida.  My greatest fun was my time on the beach but I also had great fun at the stores and restaurants I went too as I was addressed as "mam" and "lady" at most of these locations.  These encounters really helped me to embrace myself and how I felt.  It was really liberating the feelings of freedom I felt. At the beach, I was at ease the whole time, aware of my form fitting swimsuit and my tuck made me have the ultimate feminine shape, aware of my long hair as the wind caught it, aware of my shaved and lotioned body, aware of my woman shadow/sillowet on the beach; knowing I was being looked at and coded as a female by all around me.  Yes, I was sure I was passing.  As I walked over a mile on the beach I felt deep feelings and the feeding of my woman inside.  I was quite natural in my walk and most of the dozens of beach walkers I passed would wave or say, "good morning" or "hello." There I was just another somewhat pretty older woman walking on the beach with a slight arm swing and lifted sway in her hips.  I also collected some shells and tested the water for swimming. I did get in knee deep but the water was really cold.  For the walk I had just purchased a really nice swimsuit cover-up.  Because of this, I did fit in quite well with those around me as it was cool 60's and as I mentioned the water was fridged.  Thanks Monica for this great idea of the cover garment.  The cover up I bought fit loosely and was almost a beach dress. With this on I really was able to be myself  - natural and confident and I am sure this is why I appeared to pass so well.

    I did get a little bit of attention, however. There were some work men who I know were looking me over, my feminine radar could sense l was being checked out.  One of them actually called me to get my attention twice.  Because I was on the other side of a work barrier I was able to keep my distance and not respond to his advance.  

    My favorite portion of my 2+ hours of beach time was laying/sitting on my towel and soaking 🌞.  I had a sea gull buddy that stayed about 10 feet away and just hung out with me the whole time.  There were several joggers who went by the "sun babe"  - they all looked and I looked back - they smiled and moved on.  We were all having a wonderful day at the beach. :) Dawn

    I took several dozen photos and will share them soon - sample one below.

      Dear Dawn,

      Your photo and letter reminds me of all the wonderful times I had on Clearwater Beach, Dunedin Beach and St. Petersburg Beach, all in Tampa Bay, Florida!

  8. Heading to Florida today.  I will be vacationing and doing some business on this trip.  Looking forward to my time on the beach and most of my time being myself as a woman. I think I am ready. :)

      My friend in Florida tells me it's 68 degrees right now. Think the pink outfit would be perfect! My friend tells me she expects it to warm up, so I think you'll enjoy your swimsuit, too!

  9. Here is my blue suit. :)  Because it is a size 12 it may be a bit snugger and the blue seems to bring more attention to below my waist.  With a fitness skirt I have the blue suit may be still the best - it may work really well.  Opinions please.  I may post a video of one of my suits soon; just made 4 - three in blue suit and one in the purple suit.  Opinions and comments please - I really want a fun and uneventful day at the beach - feeling, looking and being a woman. 20 days until Florida. Dawn :)

      Hey, Dawn, may we vote on it? Already know which one I will be voting for! LOL!!

  11. Here is my first photo in my new swimsuit.  I already see a couple of things I will need to change.  Likely I will want to have my hair out instead of in a pony tail.  Comments please.  Dawn :)

      Thanks Monica - I am concerned that my shoulders are still a bit large and that I need to have my hair flowing over my shoulders to better frame my face.  Still swimming in the ocean will change everything as I am sure as I get wet and covered with salt water.  And of course I do not want a suit malfunction. :)

      Dawn13

      Hello Monica - Thanks for your comments - I did go ahead and order the blue suit also.  Size 12 - Will do a comparison when I get it in - you are so good at helping me with my best colors.  :)

  12. Just ordered a purple  -

    Miraclesuit Oceanus One-Piece

    Size: 14
    Color: purple

    I am going to wear this at the beach next month.  Now to make sure my body is beach ready. :)

      My suit just arrived and it fits phonemically.  Other than my just being a little larger in the shoulders and having to do a small bit of a tuck, it flatters me greatly.  Because I have not been able to diet myself to 138 pounds I was concerned that I would look too fat in it.  I was almost in tears when I tried it on and saw myself in the mirror.  It really makes me look trim. Will post a photo/s when I have time.  I am planning a day at the beach in Florida next month and I hope to get to swim in the ocean in this suit.  The Miracle suit really does what it says.  See attached Tag.  Dawn :)

      Dear Dawn,

      That's great! Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

      Have come across a company, called Shapermint, (but I have not seen their product, although it looks very good), that seems to sell outstanding shapewear. Their website is:

      https://www.shapermint.com

      Keep me posted, girl!

      Yours in Sisterhood,

      Monica

      Thanks Monica - you are right Shapermint has some great styles.  I priced the same swimsuit and theirs was $160+ for the Oceanus style but I was able to get mine at less than 50% of this price at Rue Lala.  (Another great store.)  Still I signed up for discounts with Shapermint and I saw several great looking dresses and swimsuits. Thanks so much for helping me shop.  I am getting much better at this, but I still have a lot to learn about selecting the best clothing for myself as a woman.  However, I feel I have always had the artistic and feminine mind that enables me to enjoy shopping for beautiful things. Lately with these feelings I have had no problem shopping in the women's section in various stores, including trying on dresses and sportswear.  I have also moved away from just going to thrift shops to buying from better stores new items that makee feel good about my image.  Yes, my confidence as a woman has really grown lately, and I know part of this is occurring as my body now fits better with my feminine mind; has become more reshaped; softer and rounder.  For this trip because I have been a bit heaver than I wanted to be I decided wearing a 👙 bikini was not best for me, until I am back to 140 or less.  The swimsuit I just bought will help me cover up my belly and will be a good starting point for me for future days on the beach when I may be ready for a bikini in the future. When I go to Florida on this trip I will be alone most of the time and I will have several days I can totally be my feminine self.  I am looking forward to the freedom and being able to express myself as a woman for these days and I will be totally free to do my makeup and wear my best, yes sexy, beach wear - still I do not plan to go overboard wearing high hills and extravagant night wear.  I just want to blend in, be noticed as a woman, but not draw too much attention; not get too excited about this opportunity for fun as a girl.  Dawn :)

  13. My wife just purchased 4 Hanes Get Cozy Pullover ComfortFlex Fit® Wirefree Bra's for me and I love them - great fit and support.  (Pink, Purple, Teal and Nude colors) Was going to use them as sleep bras but I am thinking they will also be great everyday bras. I highly recommend them to everyone.  Photo below.

    Also looking for a recommendation - I could be doing a professional makeover soon - possible Christmas Gift.  Does anyone know of a best place local to the mid-west; KY, OH, IN?  My therapist said that this might be something for me to do and I am liking the idea.  Maybe a whole weekend in a new location all woman-ed up?  (Shopping, restaurant, play or movie)  This would not be a boy mode or unisex mode thing - but a fully feminine experience for me. :)  Dawn

      Dawn, the purple 👗 dress goes great with your blue eyes!

  15. I just received a gift of a new purple dress and pearl earrings.  Also I recently purchased a Victoria Secret slightly padded pink bra that I am wearing now. This was my first new dress in quite a while.  I think the fit was phenomenal.  Sung and form fitting showing some cleavage. I can really see results of the herbals and blockers I have been taking.  I only had some lip gloss on - plan to do full make up soon.  Still I was amazed at myself. And I still feel overweight.  More soon - Dawn :)

  16. Repeated to be on top. I was just thinking back today about how confident I was after having this particular salon makeover. Hair, brows and toes (Late Sept)  With only adding a bit of lip gloss I felt like a woman all day and went out and walked around the farmers market knowing that in everyone's mind they only saw a lovely woman.  In fact I barely noticed anyone checking me out at all.  I was just blending in and I was not nervous at all that I would/could possibly be mis-read as a male.  It is days like these that make me wish I could be a woman forever. :)

  17. Update on the herbals supplement effect - My wife mentioned that my breasts had really expanded and were now a "hand full" as she touched them yesterday and that my hair has grown to reach the bottom of my shoulder blades.  What I have noticed the most lately is I appear much softer and more rounder lately. My weight is still holding about 160 (Still want to get rid of 15 pounds) but where the weight has moved into my hips and breasts and a layer of softness overall is what I notice the most.  Dawn :) Wearing a blond wig below but you can see my softer more feminine body.

      Blond hair, blue bikini on a tan girl . . . nothing says "Summer" more than that!

  18. Another great day getting my hair styled, brows waxed and a pedicure.  I wore my new American Eagle Hot Pants and a matching top that showed off my comfortable white nylon bra underneath. I had a brown hair band, rose quartz earrings and was wearing one of my favorite perfumes. My stylist said she really like making my hair, brows and toes "beautiful."  Then she had to mention she had been doing weights and showing off her arms to me.  Of course we compare arms and mine now look a lot smaller than hers.  And I was thinking mine really look feminine.  After I was done at the stylist I left, looking almost totally beautiful, and I went to a local farmers market and just blended in - I really think no one even possibly thought I was not female the whole time I was there. A wonderful transgender feminine experience. :)

      Thanks - you made my day - I really try to find clothing that coordinates well and is not too sexy to draw out too much attention/notice.  Always concerned I am not overly noticeable; that I just fit in.  Also, about my smile. I am finally out of my braces - first time in over a year. I so appreciate your comments about how attractive I look. :)

  21. A wonderful day at the salon - To get ready, I had shaved down my legs and arms, did a manicure and was wearing one of my favorite bra and panty sets, had on Ylang Austral Givenchy Perfume and also did a very light bit of makeup. I was also wearing a great looking colorful top and purple hot pants. My Stylist said well look at you when I came in and told me she would make me beautiful. Firstly she selected me a woman's cape with high hills logos on it for my spa salon experience, She did a wonderful pedicure with sparkles and blue coats, waxed my eyebrows and gave me a wonderful feminine hair trim and color. My hair is now getting long enough to go down my back. What a wonderful day of woman pleasures for me. :)salon---Mix.thumb.jpg.f80823eb9cadf57ee33ebb9c47416d28.jpg

  22. My wife today told me my breasts looked huge and wanted to make sure I had on one of my better support bras on when I went out to go on a bike ride.  The herbals have really worked.  Will post a photo soon - Dawn

  23. Sorting through all of my Florida photos - quite an exciting story to share - a whole week feeling like and presenting myself as a woman - more to share soon.  Dawn

  24. Spent an entire week in Florida presenting myself in a very simple fashion as a woman. A life time of experiences this trip. So much to describe. The attached photo is me in Universal Studios. I did not enhance my natural body for this trip, just wore all women's sportswear top to bottom. My breasts in my sports bra were noticeable but I was not trying to bring too much attention to them. I remember when I entered the park when the photo was taken one of the attendants said "I really like your Turquois Outfit," one of her favorite looks. I have over 20 great photos to share along with my neat story. So more soon. :)
