Yesterday I got hit on by a very young ripped guy at the gym. I'm pretty sure he misjudged my age, and as soon as I told him I was married he backed off. At this time last year, someone mistook me for my sister's mom. She's six years older than me. I expected to look more fit, but I did not expect to look so much younger.34

Got this hoodie for Christmas last year from my sister. It was so tight I never wore it. Tried it on now after losing 82 lbs and there is plenty of room and it actually is too big now, but I love it!

I probably should have bought them 2 months and 10lbs ago, but I just bought a number of pants in my current size (34...down from 40). I also noticed that I'm no longer intentionally buying shirts a size too big.25

Shopkeeper locking up for the evening said,”Girl, you look like a million bucks!” as I walked past. It’s a super fashionable men’s boutique and this guy always looks like he’s stepped right out of GQ. That meant a lot since I let myself run towards the “slob” end of the fashion spectrum the past few years.
Someone commented after class that I’m looking really “solid” from behind (we’ve been taking the same classes for years- she likes the back row and I always go for the first row).
But best of all, my balance is finally improving, I’m not falling out of every balance pose, and it’s silly, but after class, I realized I can stand on one leg to put each sock on, without having to prop myself on something. That is a big deal for me right there!
And I went shopping at Macy’s with a very petite friend yesterday for a mother-of-the-bride dress. I had to size down twice and realized I ended up with the same size she wears. That was a shocker.
I’ve got a dress and a backup dress. And both look great on me! And I bought some sexy heels and makeup, lol. I haven’t worn either in years. May need lessons! I feel all Pygmalion.
I love this post so much - especially the balancing on one leg to put socks on! This is a goal/dream of mine after breaking my ankle a few years ago...I didn't think it would ever happen, but I am doing pilates now too, and seeing some progress. Maybe it will happen!
Anyway, thanks for the post - you are looking great, and I really appreciate the inspiration

This:
Yes, I know. It looks like another pretty boring view of a town.
But, in the words of Rowan Atkinson in "Love Actually" it is so much more than just a boring view.
This is the view I have been yearning to see again since July. A view I didn't think that I'd see again this side of next Spring.
This is the view of the hill I used to cycle up on a daily basis. A 12-mile route that is quite punishing and is 95% roads. With cars and lorries and stuff. Which made me anxious.
Which is why I didn't think I'd be able (psychologically) to cycle it so soon.
But I told myself that I had to do it. I set a date by which I wanted to do it. I made DH have the car ready and his phone charged in case it got too much for me and I bottled it. I nearly quit before I left the driveway as I was so anxious about it. But DH said that I'd be really unlucky to meet another drunk-driver.
But I didn't bottle it. I just kept going. Yes, I had to use the lowest gear on the hills, whereas before the hills didn't seem as bad and I could go up them in a higher gear. Physically it was really, really tough.
But I did it. I got there.
And cried. Buckets. I probably looked really stupid, perched on my bike, taking photos and crying. But I didn't care.
I have a lot of work to do before I get back to my pre-accident state and abilities but this just goes to show that I WILL get there.
My next goal? To be able to cycle this route and add on a few miles by the end of next week. And to be able to do one of my 20-mile routes by the end of November/beginning of December.69 -
My husband said my pants were bagging like those guys that wear pants hanging and underwear showing, I have never had loose pants before! 40 lbs lost and sz 12 too big.28

I ordered a new pair of jeans today.
I am a little sad to have shrunk out of my favourite jeans, but I received an email from the store today with a 50% off sale, so I ordered a smaller size (and it's a smaller size than I have needed in YEARS).
It feels extra-sweet because the scale is barely moving down lately, but I have increased resistance training, so it's nice to have it confirmed that things are changing.23 -
As of yesterday, I can now fit into all the jeans in my closet (first time in 5 years).27
-
One more: my wedding ring is finally starting to loosen up. It was so tight earlier this year, even after losing 30 lbs. It's helped that we're having freezing weather, but I'm still going to take some credit. (And I've now lost 45 lbs.)26
-
Oh and another one - my resting heart rate has dropped quite significantly in the last couple of months (weight not changed much, but increased exercise). I'm also sleeping well, and have been able to come of one of my meds.30

I tried a pair of jeans, which were a bit too snug last month, and they fit perfect today. I wore them out with a sweater I never wear.
It has happened in the past, when I felt my clothes getting looser but I actually never wore them out because for some reason it freaked me out to wear baggy clothes. So I would never enjoy my clothes.
Well that mindset stopped today ! Very happy about that :-)27 -
I've been trying to do this for a year. And now I can. I am so much stronger than I used to be

My NSV.. I bought like 6 pairs of capris in different sizes a few weeks ago and I'm shrinking out of the largest ones. 😍😍😍
This morning they are so baggy that they are long just like regular pants, which is actually nice because I'm freezing and I don't own any real jeans or long pants21 -

Well I'm having issues with loose skin pretty much everywhere but my bingo wings are making me fearful that I may actually take flight.
However... The tops of my 'wings' are starting to show definition. I was entranced as I did resistance training today, looking at the shapes my arm moved into. I have biceps! Actual visible ones!19
