• Before transitioning, I was a WWE star, weighed in at 280 pounds, and had 6% to 8% body fat.

• To get the feminine body I dreamed of, I had to find the right diet and exercise for myself.

• While I'm still evolving, I hope to pass what I've learned on to other trans people.

The transgender journey can be rife with internal questions about body image and external presentation. My own journey regularly sparks questions from others, given my position as a public — and extremely fit — athlete and fitness influencer.

One of the questions I often field is: "Gabbi, how did you lose all the muscle mass?" The answer isn't as straightforward as people may expect but is informed through 30 years in the fitness industry and my personal transition experience.
