Personally I think your entire body looks slimmer. It might be the lighting on the upper body but hey a compliment is a compliment

You look great!!! so true. the scale says nothing about how you look or how healthy you actually are!!!

Nice tush, lady! And great reminder that the scale is only a small piece of the story.

Thanks for your nice comments guys!

Some of you asked what sort of training I did. I'm not at all an expert, so I don't want to suggest that this is the best way to go, plus I'm not following any strict/regular programme, but I usually do:

1) Bike 4/5 days a week to work and back (total: 50 minutes)
2) Cardio 3/4 days a week (usually 1 hour of walking/jogging intervals, or 45 minutes of spinning)
3) Weight training 2/3 days a week (45minutes-1hour): at the beginning I was just using the machines in the gym, doing 3 sets of 8/10 reps per machine, but following the recommendation of some MFP friends and forums, I decided to move into using free weights. An instructor in my gym suggested to me the following training routine, which I follow more or less -sometimes I do different exercises- (3 sets of 8 reps of each of the following):

Arnold dumbbell press: Shoulders & triceps
