So far HRT is going very well, I'm generally much happier.

tho I'm wondering a few things for my femmaxxing :3

How do I train 'curves'? What's the best routine? I know getting weight in the first few months may help, but what about exercise? Do these help with getting more 'meat' on my butt, hips, and breasts? If so, what kind of exercises should I do?
What kind of food to eat would help best?
Is a growth from 75B to 80C in 7 months slow or quick?
Any things I could do to appear more fem? I already wear high-waisted jeans, and I wear a bra. I prefer a generally 'neutral' ish fashion (neither very skirty nor motorjacketty), kinda tomboyish, though I'm fine with other options also.
I take a more femme walk (the hrt unironically helps me with that) nowadays as well. Behaviour ideas, maybe?
fill in whatever tips, i'm happy to answer questions!

and also, shork obligatory haj

You're welcome! Also, something I forgot: Take care of your hair. Long, well cared-for hair helps you appear more feminine. Get a professional cut and ask the person cutting your hair for advice on hair care and which cut they think is best for you. A wolf cut is often a good start. Bangs are almost always a good idea! If you have rather dry hair / scalp you can probably ditch shampoo entirely and just co-wash. Embrace curls / waves if you have them. Get your eyebrows done professionally and then pluck them yourself, maintaining the shape.
