Hi. My name is Lee. Let me tell you the most amazing story about how I got 
into shape!
I had been in a depression for some time. I am 35. I had been overweight 
for the last 10 years. I used to be active until about 8 or 10 years ago. I 
really loved to play soccer or run in those days. I had a nice relationship 
with Janice back then. All was well. Then it seemed to fall apart.I came 
into a pretty good inheritance when my parents passed away. I found that I 
no longer had to work! In fact I didn't really have to do anything any more 
but eat. I got used to life the way it was and took Janice for granted. I 
rarely complimented her on her appearance. I got fat and lazy (and maybe a 
bit rude too).
One day I woke up and she had left. She had taken all of her stuff
and disappeared. All she left was the clothes that were in the dirty 
laundry. I washed them and put them in a box in case she ever came back. I 
never saw Janice again.
I have been living down town near Chinatown during these 10 years and have 
become fond of the culture. I love the shops and restaurants and have made 
a few friends there.
I usually get a large chow-mein and 3 egg rolls and a side of pork for 
dinner from "Ming's" (That probably wasn't helping my weight problem I am 
sure). I had been exercising and taking vitamins but still felt very tired 
and unhealthy.
One night when I was waiting for my food my friend Mike came out and said I 
should loose some weight! Mike was about the closest thing I had to a best 
friend. We often ate together and usually went out a couple of times a week 
to a sporting event or a movie.
Mike was 26. He was lean and muscularly built. He was fairly athletic and 
healthy compared to me. He was quite conservative in the way he carried 
himself. He wore his hair long. Mike's dad was the restaurant
owner Ming Wong. On this particular evening mike told me that I had been 
enjoying his dad's menu too long. He asked how much I weighed these days. I 
told him I was about 225 pounds(I knew that was about 40 to 50 pounds too 
much for my five foot, 10 inche hight). Mike was basically saying I was fat 
and unhealthy.
I agreed and said that I wished there was something I could do to
lose some weight. He told me to see his Uncle: Dr. Ho.
Mike told me Dr. Ho was sort of like a Naturopathic Doctor.
I went to meet Dr Ho a few days later. He was quite old. He had grey hair 
that was long like Mike's. He asked why I had come to see him.
I told him that I felt overweight and was often tired. I expained to him 
how much I loved it in the past when I was fit and had energy.
He told me there were solutions from Chinese medicines that would
solve these problems but they were rarely shared outside their
culture. I said I loved Chinese culture and would do anything to get my 
health and energy back. He explained that the process he would put me 
through would help me become slimmer and healthier if that is what I really 
wanted. I told him that was what I wanted more than anything.
Dr. Ho gave me 2 types of "vitamins" and a type of tea plus a prescription 
which he said would help me regain my energy level.
He told me it would take about 4 weeks to complete the process from start 
to finish and to stay focused on what the end result was that I was hoping 
to achieve. He said not to be surprised if there were some unpleasant side 
effects the first week. Off I went thinking about being healthier and 
thinner!
The first 5 days taking these items were awful. All I was taking in was the 
tea and pills. I had bad cramps and violent diarrhea. I took several hot 
baths to sooth the discomfort. One day when I was draining the bath I 
noticed it was full of fine hairs. I looked at myself in the mirror and 
realized I had no body hair any longer other than on my head, eye brows, 
and genitals. I guessed this was one of the unpleasant side effects.
I lay awake one evening and laughed to myself that I had already lost some 
weight, body fluids and hair! Not exactly how I had expected to!
My mind was racing and I could not sleep so I decided to go for a jog. I 
was surprised with myself as I had not had the energy to go for a run in 
almost 10 years. My shorts felt a bit loose due to my lost weight and poor 
health. I guessed I would have a poor run. I ran for about an hour and felt 
exhilarated!
When I was nearing home I saw Mike in his family's restaurant preparing for 
the day.
He smiled and waived me in. He told me I looked healthy and that the 
Chinese medicine must be working. We shared a pot of tea and some plain 
rice.
Over the next week many amazing things happened.:
I did not need to shave as I had no facial hair.
I ran every day.
I ran further every day!
I lost lots of weight.
I noticed I was losing my belly and then my "love handles". I was very 
pleased with my results. My thinning hair was filling in and growing a bit 
longer!
I weighed myself and was shocked to see my weight had plumetted to 155 
pounds! I wasn't going to complain about loosing to much weight though.
My running was going so well I decided to enter a 10K fun-run for a local 
charity. None of my regular shorts fit any longer as I had lost so much 
weight so I decided to go and buy some that fit at a running store. I 
needed some new shoes too as mine were getting loose. I looked for 
something to wear shopping and could not find anything that fit me any 
more. I looked in the back of my closet to see if I had saved any clothes 
from when I was thinner but I had not. Then I found the box of clothes that 
belonged to Janice. I looked through it. There was a t-shirt that was from 
a fun run she had gone in. There was a pair of yellow bicycle styled 
shorts. There was a skirt and blouse that she had for work and a short 
skirt and small blouse that she had worn to look good when we went out to 
pubs or bars. I held up the shorts and t-shirt to my now slimmer body. They 
weren't what I would have chosen to wear but I decided they might fit me 
now. They were a bit stretchy as well so I tried them on. The clothes were 
a bit tight, but not too bad. I looked at myself in the mirror. I felt 
silly wearing women's clothes but I thought I looked pretty good. I looked
at my bottom in the mirror and thought it looked better in these shorts 
than I remembered Janice's looking.! I was a bit troubled because I thought 
I looked pretty good in a ladies outfit! But then I thought: "Who cares. I 
look much better than I looked before!"
I headed off to the store. On the way I felt a bit warm. I sat down at a 
bench for a second then headed off again. I figured I might be having 
another side effect. Everything I saw appeared to be a bit larger than 
before.  After a minute I felt good again so I continued on my way. As I 
walked I noticed that the shorts and T-shirt must have stretched. They did 
not feel nearly as tight as they had at first.
The lady at the store looked at me a bit confused. I guess it was because I 
was a guy wearing yellow ladies style shorts and a black capped sleeve 
t-shirt that said "Run for a Cure for Breast Cancer" in pink writing on it. 
I told her I had lost some weight and was unsure of my size but that I 
wanted a couple of outfits to run in and a new pair of shoes. She measured 
my waist and shoulders and butt and told me I was now a medium! I was 
pleased I had lost so much weight. I had been wearing large shorts and 
extra large shirts for sometime now.
She had me try on a t-shirt and loose running shorts.  They felt
just right. She showed me a pair of bicycle style shorts in steel blue
and a matching tank top. I was a bit embarrassed to try on any other 
clothes as I felt like I was showing off my weight loss. I told her I liked 
the colour and would take them on her recommendation as well as the first 
outfit. I put the clothes that I had been wearing back on.
The sales lady measured my feet and brought me a pair of size 8 runners. 
They were white with green stripes. They fit great. Even my
feet were smaller now. I used to be a size 9. She threw in a ouple of pairs 
of socks as well.
On the day of the 10K I wore the shirt and shorts. I could not believe how 
much energy I had! During the run I felt great. I noticed a funny pull in 
my groin and realized I was going through a bit of what
Seinfield calls "shrinkage". I was kind of pleased as my shorts were a bit 
skimpy and would have been very revealing otherwise.
At about 4K I came across a girl named Sandi who was having problems with 
her pacing and I offered to run with her. She was in her early 30's I 
guessed. She was wearing shorts similar to mine and a Nike t-shirt. She had 
long straight blonde hair tied back in a pony tail. Sandi and I were a good 
match and we ended up finishing at about 0'49.00. We agreed to go running 2 
days later.
When I got home I looked in the mirror and was amazed at how good
I looked compared to a couple of weeks ago. My hair looked full and 
healthy(but a bit long). My waist was tight and firm. My leg muscles looked 
nice and strong from the back and my butt looked incredible even though I 
thought again that it was nicer than Janice's had been!
I had expected my privates to recover from the shrinkage by nowbut they had 
not. I wasn't too concerned though as I had run a long race and was 
strengthening in so many other ways. My chest was a bit raw around my 
nipples as well. I figured this was from the rubbing of the material of my 
new shirt during the run.
I went and visited Dave for a half hour. I wore a track suit that was very 
much too big. He told me my weight loss was amazing and I would need some 
new clothes soon. I agreed. We had some rice and tea and I went home and 
fell asleep.
The next morning I awoke and my hair was a mess! It was way fuller than I 
remembered and it was longer again and almost black instead of its usual 
brown with grey bits.
I remembered that I had to meet Sandi for a run. I had to get ready 
quickly! I went to pee and decided to sit down as my shrinkage problem
was even worse now. If I stood to pee I would make a mess. I washed my 
hands and face. My hair kept falling into my face. I quickly found an 
elastic and tied my hair back. I grabbed the second outfit I had bought and 
pulled on the shorts.
They were very tight but they did feel good. I pulled on the tank
top and it wasn't going on like I expected. I remembered I had trusted the 
clerk's judgement on the size. I looked at the tag and it was a WOMAN's 
medium. I pulled off the shorts and looked at their tag. They were a 
woman's's medium too. I was confused so I looked in the laundry and sure 
enough the shorts and t-shirt I had been wearing  in the race were a 
woman's medium too. They were still wet so I could not wear them.
Just then there was a knock at the door. It was Sandi. From the bathroom I 
yelled for her to come in and please wait.I pulled on the shorts again. I 
pulled on the tank top. It was very tight and only came to just above by 
belly-button Ilooked down and with the effect of my shrinkage and weight 
loss I had what looked like a perfect woman's groin! I thought to myself 
that I had better go see Dr. Ho soon as I could as I was a bit distressed 
by the way my appearance was changing.
Sandi called out: "Are you ready to run Lee?"
I was confused and said I would be right there. I went in the bathroom and 
looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I looked like me but a bit 
smaller. My shorts looked like a ladies but I was wearing men's
underwear so they were lumpy and very unflattering. I had on a tight lady's 
style top but I had nothing for it to cover.
I took off my underwear and put the shorts back on. They looked
incredible on me! I couldn't stop staring at my beautiful rump in the 
mirror! I really wanted to go running and Sandi was already here so I 
figured I would go running now anyway, then go see Dr Ho. later.
I went out to where Sandi was waiting for me. She was wearing a white track 
suit with violet trim. It looked really nice on her. She said she really 
liked my outfit! I thanked her for the compliment. She took
off her track suit. She was dressed similarly to me but in a black outfit 
that was a bit larger than mine. She was obviously wearing panties and a 
bra as I could see their lines through her outfit. We headed out for our 
run. I set a pretty good pace and we ran about an
hour and forty minutes. I felt like I could run further. I could not
believe I was capable of running for this long but I wasn't going to
complain about it. Sandi and I chatted a bit on the run and she told
me about her last couple of relationships. I told her I had not been
in one for some time. She seemed genuinely surprised.
When we got back to my place I invited Sandi up for a drink and a
cool down.
Sandi approached me and asked if I would tell her something sort of
personal. I answered that I probably wouldn't mind.
She asked me: "What's it like to run wearing a thong?"
I asked her what she meant. Sandi said that she jogged to keep her
body tight and firm. She hated panty lines on women and had often
thought about wearing a thong panty so that no panty lines would
show through her shorts. She said she had noticed that I did not have any 
panty lines when we had been running and wanted to know if it was 
comfortable wearing a thong when I ran.
In that moment it all made sense. The lady who sold me woman's clothes 
hadn't made an error. She thought I was a woman. That would have been 
because I was so small and I was wearing woman's clothing. My new
friend Sandi thought I was a woman too. She was even asking for advice on 
ladies underwear! I had even noticed it myself looking at myself wearing 
this outfit. I thought to myself that I had better go
see Dr. Ho as soon as possible. This was bizarre.
I snapped back to  the reality of Sandi's question. I wasn't wearing 
underwear at all because mine didn't fit. I didn't think I should tell her 
that though so I lied. "It is very comfortable actually. You should try 
it."
She said she would and she asked if I wanted to run the day after
tomorrow. I said I would love to. These runs were the only thing
keeping me sane.
Sandi left and I went back to the mirror to take inventory again.
My head of hair was now very full and was down to my shoulders.
My face was smooth and hairless.
It still looked like my face though.
My shoulders appeared a bit smaller.
My chest looked about the same but was a bit red and puffy and felt itchy.
My waist was tiny like a supermodel!
My hips flared out to a really feminine bottom and hips.
My penis was still there but was very short.
My legs were muscular but not big.
I stood on my toes and turned around.
I looked like I was about 10 years younger than I had before I started Dr. 
Ho's treatment.
I weighed myself and was shocked to wee I was only 130 pounds now.
I thought to myself: "I really do look like a woman now."
I thought about Sandi's comment about a thong panty. I loved the way thong 
panties looked on women. I thought to myself that my bottom would look 
great in a thong! Then I stopped.
I wondered how this could have happened and thought about what Dr.
Ho had told me. He said something about being able to change me into the 
person I wanted to be. I never wanted to be a female before though.
I decided to head out and had to find something to wear. I noticed Sandi 
had forgotten her track suit. I put it on and checked out how it fit me in 
the mirror. I thought it looked even better on me than it did on Sandi. I 
headed off to see Dr. Ho.
On my way to see Dr. Ho I had to walk through the shopping district and 
Chinatown. I went past a store that sold ladies underwear and it made me 
think again of Sandi's comment about the thong panties. I thought to 
myself: "My bottom really would look spectacular in a thong!" I popped in 
and looked around. I had picked out 4 thong panties in a medium that I 
imagined would be very attractive on me. They were 4 different styles and 
materials. Then I went to pay and the lady commented that she had the 
matching bra's for each panty in
just my size. I was confused as I had no need for a bra! She continued: 
"I'd say you are about a 32C. Is that right?" I was
about to ask her what she was talking about but then I looked down and saw 
what she was commenting on. I had breasts! Just the way I liked them on a 
woman. They they were spectacular! They were almost defying gravity and the 
nipples on them were sticking out at full salute. It was quite arousing 
looking at my firm breasts jiggling there! I was very puzzled. I had not 
had breasts a few minutes ago. I had gone through many changes but none had 
been so sudden. I could sure tell I had them now. I could feel their weight 
pulling nicely on my chest. I agreed to take the four panty / bra sets. She 
asked if I needed and swimwear or a pretty dress or shoes. I glanced around 
to see that this store specialized in sexy styles for women in general and 
not just underwear. I thanked her and said maybe another time. I asked to 
use her fitting room and put on one of the sets I had just bought. It was a 
seamless white cotton thong panty and the matching bra. The bra did up in 
the front. I read the box and it said it was a racerback bra with molded 
underwire cups. It was supporting and pushing my new breasts up beyond 
where they would normally rest. It was the first time in a while I had worn 
underwear as none of my old ones fit me any more.I looked at myself in the 
mirror and thought I looked great in my new outfit! I put my clothes back 
on over my new undergarments and headed towards Dr. Ho's with my other 
purchases in a bag.
I walked past Ming's. I was very hungry so I popped in for a quick bite. 
Mike came up and asked if he could help me. He hadn't even recognized me. 
Then he stopped in shock as he realized it was me. "Oh wow Lee! Is that 
you?"
I told him it was me and asked what he thought of my weight loss.
He said: "You look great but I thought you were a woman for a second!"
I told him I had the same concern and was on my way to see his Uncle to 
discuss the changes to my appearance. He agreed I best see Dr Ho 
immediately. He asked why I had stopped in. I told him I was starving. He 
asked if I wanted my usual chow-mein but I did not. I had a plate of 
steamed vegetable and some rice. Mike sat and had a meal with me. I headed 
off when I was done.
I turned back to wave good bye and I notice Mike checking out my bottom. We 
made eye contact and he appeared embarrassed. I was a bit mad for a second 
then I remembered I had been quite amazed by my great ass too.
"Boys will be boys", I giggled to myself.
I went straight to Dr. Ho's office and went in to see him.  I asked him 
"What is happening to me"? He asked who I was. I explained who I was and 
his mouth fell open. He got mad and said: "You never told me you wanted to 
be a woman!" I asked him what he was talking about? I told him I had never 
wanted to be a woman. He said that was impossible. He said: "Look at you. 
You  are wearing woman's clothing and you have breasts!" He explained that 
the medicines and magic he had used on me were to change my body into that 
which I had wished for. He reminded me of my only other instruction which 
was to keep in
my mind the final result I wanted to obtain. He asked what I had wanted to 
be like when I was done. I reminded him that I had wanted to be thinner and 
healthier. He said he knew this but that he had told me to stay focused on 
the end result I had hoped for. I had wanted to be thin and healthy so bad 
I had not thought further than that. He still seemed puzzled. "If that is 
all you had wanted then that is all that should have happened? The only way 
that this could have happened to
you is if you pictured what you would look like as a woman. You never 
pictured something like that did you? Or what you would look like in a 
woman's outfit?". I was about to say no then I remembered wearing Janice's 
outfit to the store and admiring how I looked compared to her. I explained 
this to Dr. Ho and he was shocked. I told him the whole story up to how I 
was sitting there in a revealing woman's outfit covered by an attractive 
woman's track suit.  My new breasts had grown so quickly because I had been 
actually picturing myself in the panties I had been buying. He explained 
that I had better decide what result I was hoping to achieve of I would be 
stuck this way! I asked him how far this magic could change me? He said 
that  it could easily change me into a fully functioning woman if I did not 
start picturing myself as a man when this was done. I was truly shocked! 
That was the farthest thing from my intentions. He suggested I get a body 
building magazine and picture myself looking like the men in it as much as 
possible. He said there was still enough time to correct
what had happened to me.He said that if I continued the way I was going for 
more than a couple of days I would become a woman forever! He told me that 
I should not picture or think what I might look like as a woman and that I 
should definitely not wear womans clothing.  I agreed that that was a good 
idea.
On the way home I bought a "Muscle and Fit" magazine and a wrestling" 
magazine. There were lots of fit men's pictures in them.
I went to get undressed for bed. I took off the track suit and put it on 
the bottom of my bed. I looked at myself in the mirror again. I checked out 
my butt first. Sandi was correct. You could not see the panty lines of the 
thong through my shorts, unless you really looked hard anyway. Through my 
tight tank top my new breasts stuck out firmly and proudly with beautiful 
pert nipples crowning them off! You could see the slight outlines of the 
bra supporting them. My hair was down to the bottom of my shoulders now.
I took off my top and shorts and admired the person looking back at me in 
the mirror. I appeared to be an attractive woman wearing a thong panty and 
a bra! I admired my beautiful new cleavage.  I had perfect breasts! Firm 
and beautiful but not too heavy for my jogging. I turned to the mirror to 
check out the thong on my ass and saw the prettiest little ladies bottom I 
could imagine! Muscular and firm but round and beautiful. I turned again to 
check out the front of my panty. It appeared to be the way a ladies panty 
should look! I panicked and
thought I might have gone too far! I reached down into my panties to see 
what was there. I still had my penis. Sort of anyway. It was almost flat 
against my pelvis. I was relieved I hadn't lost it completely!
I panicked a bit about the way I had just been admiring myself and I 
remembered the warnings Dr. Ho had given me. I decided to keep my underwear 
on for coverage and go to bed looking at the pictures in the magazines I 
had bought. That should get me focused back on an end result I would be 
pleased with from Dr. Ho's treatment. I looked at the pictures of the 
bodybuilders and wrestlers. They were so big. They had large muscles and I 
imagined them being not very flexible. I loved the flexibility of my body 
now. I put the magazines down and tried to think of the kind of man's body 
I liked. I thought of Mike's body. He
was small and lean but very muscular. He had strong arms and shoulders and 
a tight "six pack". That was more my style I thought and I headed off to 
sleep thinking of a male body like Mike's.
The next morning I awoke still thinking of a man's body like Mike's. I was 
still half dreaming.
In my thoughts the man was laying on his back naked. He was very well hung 
too. I figured I was on my way! Then I pictured my ass in the mirror last 
night. I could picture my new female body straddled across Mike's naked 
body. I  could see my beautiful naked back and ass. I could see the edges 
of my breasts just a bit looking from behind. I was raising up and down on 
my knees above Mike. I could see the shaft of Mike's penis as I went up 
each time. It was hard and wide.  In my
thoughts I was bucking like a stallion with Mike's penis inside me. I was 
moaning in shock at how it felt.
I sat up in shock as I fully awoke and realized what I had been
fantasizing about. I was soaked in sweat and my bra and panty was soaked as 
well. I pulled them off and jumped in the shower. I shampooed my hair. It 
took much more shampoo than it ever had before. While I was washing myself 
I  couldn't help but felt my breasts. They were very sensitive to touch and 
my nipples hardened as I was exploring. The warm shower felt great. I 
washed my waist and bottom. Then I went to wash my penis and balls. I 
screamed in shock. They were not there any more.  I looked down to see what 
appeared to be a perfect little muff of hair on a woman's vagina. I felt 
around to explore and took inventory. I had not felt a vagina in many years 
but there was no mistaking that that was what I had. I explored it gently
with my finger and quickly found out what it felt like to have my own 
vagina. It was very moist and welcoming to my exploration. I rubbed my 
clitoris and just about fainted. I regained my composure and continued to 
play with myself. I could feel what I knew was a climax coming. My entire 
body shuddered in ecstasy as I had my first female orgasm. It was amazing. 
I continued to rub my clit then thought I had better stop and get dressed 
and think about what I had been doing.
I got out I dried myself off and combed out my hair. It was very
difficult to comb now as it was even longer now. I put on one of my old 
t-shirts and sat at a table looking through the two magazines I had bought 
the night before. I liked the way the men looked. Some of them were very 
attractive. But I didn't want to be like them. I tried thinking of men that 
looked like Mike again. I really thought that they were attractive but I 
didn't want to look like that either! I loved the way I felt healthy and I 
really enjoyed my new abilities in running. I even like the way I looked 
now. I went over to the packages I had bought and picked out a panty and 
thong set. They were a pretty delicate pink coloured set made of a silky 
satin. The bra was a seamless demi bra that did up in the back. I  
hesitated for a second trying to figure how to put it on. Then wrapped it 
around myself backwards.
I did up the clasp.
Turned it around to the front.
I slipped my arms through the straps. I put the matching panty on
and walked to the mirror and looked at myself once again. The
evening before I had thought I looked like a fairly attractive woman. Now 
looking at myself I actually was a woman! I pulled my hair back to look at 
my face. It looked much like it had the night before but my lips were a bit 
fuller. My cheek bones were a bit higher and my nose was a bit smaller and 
prettier. I looked into my eyes. The were blue like always but were 
incredibly beautiful.They appeared to look right through to my soul.My long 
dark hair was beautiful as well. It was down to the middle of my back. I 
flipped some of it forward on one side and it rested gently on my right 
breast. I looked incredibly beautiful! I really liked the way I looked now! 
I felt great and looked great.
Right then and there I decided I was going to stop beating myself up and 
stay this way for the rest of my life!
I felt an incredible sense of relief from my decision.
I was now who I wanted to be!
I decided to get dressed for the day. All I had were the 2 running
outfits and the track suit that belonged to Sandi. I decided I
needed to start my new life by getting some new clothes. The
running outfits were both dirty and damp so I just put the track
suit on over my underwear and pulled on my runners and headed off
for a shopping trip for my new life.
