Have to agree with @ploomka, @seltzermint555 you don't look 43, but much younger going by your photo.4

I had bought several new pairs of underwear about 1.5 years ago, and I’m noticing in the past few days that they’re now loose and gappy. Not a good look, lol, I guess I’ll need to buy some smaller ones!10

I met up with an old running friend I hadn't seen for a while. He said "you're looking... How should I put it... More athletic"19

Woke up this morning and my when my darling beloved boo husband saw me, he told me I'm looking younger than I did yesterday (I'm an older woman, btw)--BOOM and super YAY!
My youngest daughter bought some super cute TINY looking jeans for herself and asked her if I could try them on...THEY FIT!
Saw my dentist the other day and she said "hey skinny--you look so GOOD"
I'm GLAD to be alive and slim and trim!

Met my friend’s mom today. She texted my friend saying I’m beautiful.14

Can I just take a second to appreciate my legs? They have a shape. I mentioned before that for a long time, I didn't even have knees. My legs were tree trunks. Now I have clearly defined knees even with my legs straight. Admittedly a lil hard to see with black leggings. =P
That is seriously awesome and I bet you're so happy. Congratulations5 -

Hahahaha. Why are athletes always "lean" or "strong?"2 -
My sister admired how skinny my legs were in a picture of my standing next to my 6ft nephew and I said it looks that way because he's so tall next to me 4'11". But later I was in a movie theater with the recliner chair and noticed that when I sit with my knees drawn up touching together and my ankles together, there's a gap between my thighs which wasn't there before. Plus, it was comfortable to draw up my knees to my chest sitting down without out my big belly in the way.17

Stood for the entire day today and I barely even noticed. Before I would have been in so much pain, I would have sat every 20 minutes.19

Because no one wants to be a fat ath . . .
. . . lete.
Yet, for around a decade, I was an obese athlete: Competing, in the pack, even won some age-group place medals. But you're right, people don't mostly call us "athletic" when we're fat. "A jock", maybe.14 -
Bought size 10 jeans today! :-)16

Hahaha. It's just funny when athletes always say the same thing. The whole, "I need to get my fat *kitten* into shape" is both loath worthy and totally lovable coming from my 5'3 110 lb friend.
That's awesome. I'm sure you're proud AF. What was/is your sport?3 -

Rowing. Bodyweight not much of a penalty, maybe even a tiny advantage in indoor racing - arguable either way. Bit of weight penalty on the water: My boat got faster when I hit maintenance weight in 2015, but my rowing machine splits stayed about the same (yet were more competitive in the lightweight (<135lb) W 60-69 class ).
Started rowing after mostly sedentary adult life at about age 46, following cancer treatment. Did some on-water races, and some indoor (rowing machine) races, mostly local/regional but a couple of big national ones (Masters Nationals, Head of the Charles). No longer competing, but still rowing regularly at age 64, usually 4 days/week during on water season, less during Winter, except for Concept 2 Holiday Challenge (200k between Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve, for me 6 days a week, a little over 13k left to go this year . . . then my volume will drop a bit, until Spring and on-water season. ).
Proud? Dunno. Don't really think of it in those terms. Having fun, though. :drinker:15 -
Been wearing XXL and XL clothes for so long. It was quite a shock when I comfortably fit into size L shirts recently.27

A few days ago someone said my legs looked extremely different and I didn't get what they meant. They looked the same as always looking down at them. However, they told me to look in the mirror and I was in shock for a bit. It's pretty awesome to me. I lost so much weight in my legs they are no longer touching anywhere, they are no longer chafing when I'm trying to walk. It's been that way for awhile now, and I just hadn't realized because the usual annoyance was no longer occurring. There is so much space between them now I can't even chafe them on purpose. A great feeling. Chafing was what always stopped my walks short in the past, now the problem is not having fitting clothes. I'll take that trade.24

Rowers have crazy bodies (I assume their hearts are pretty strong too). I don't know much about it but I have a friend who just did an...indoor marathon?....she claims rowing recruits ~84-86% muscles.
Don't need to race to train I'm in Boston. HOTC is a great event.

i have not been overeating this Xmas. I know if I numb myself with food I can't make wise decisions. Drama has already started, daughter is sick and not coming. Well we are going away for a few days Xmas and I am not changing plans. Time for a Merry Xmas for a change.19
