Serious loss of appetite

Hi all. This is my first post.

52yo. Started TRT a bit over a month ago. 120 Test-c per wk. 1x per week to start. Initial total Test was 198.

I'm really happy with my progress so far. Better mood. Better libido. Better workouts in the gym. Better endurance on my runs. My BMI is 30, and it is my goal to drop 15 pounds. Last week I dropped 2 pounds, which I believe is a lot to lose in one week. My appetite has been cranked way back...so much so that I'm a bit concerned. I'm typically a man-pig when it comes to food. Always hungry. Always ready to eat.

I'm not due for bloodwork until Oct. Should I be concerned about this loss of appetite? No other negative side-effects.

Thanks for any input / experiences, etc.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
