Hello, this will be my fitness journal where I keep track of things. This isn't my first time trying to make a fitness routine, but hopefully this will be my successful attempt! 
I'm a transmasc person, I am 5'5" and I weigh about 216 pounds (Underlined for future reference so i know where to look when I read back on my progress) as of 05/16/23.
I am on a calorie deficit diet of 1732 calories 5 days a week and 2200 calories 2 days a week. At first, I was hesitant about trying a calorie counting diet. I struggle with binge eating and I've heard that calorie counting can have a negative affect on people with disordered eating. However, I am very comfortable with my diet. It actually helps me be more mindful of what I'm eating when I open my calorie tracking app and record what meals I had in a day. I also don't hold myself to an impossible standard. I do my best to aim for my goal or a little below it and I very often succeed, but some days I'll be 100-300 calories over. Those are still victories to me, because it's way better than how I've been eating for years. I also don't focus only on calories. I make sure I include meals with the nutrition my body needs. I've been doing a lot of research on the type of food I specifically need and I'm very fortunate to have a good understanding of it now. I wish actual healthy eating wasn't so corrupted by diet culture marketing!
I started that diet in March of this year and about mid-April I had already lost 4 pounds! I can shed weight and gain weight very quickly.
To start out, I'm going to do the wall push-ups 30 day challenge and work my way up to doing knee push-ups. I will add exercises as I see fit (I would like to add cardio).

welcome to the hive!

by that I mean my shins from practicing a deep squat, my triceps and chest from wall pushups, and my lower back from yoga. I am still going to look for a challenge to do that doesn't strain those specific muscles, maybe a cardio challenge.
we're right there with you!

and good luck on learning to set boundaries, that's still a tough one for me...
