So after a long week at work, and an afternoon of gardening, I took shower, put on just a bit of make up, and went to have a beer.

Ran into lots of neighbors. One I hadn't seen for a couple of months.

I do have to say that it has been unusually cold and wet here, and we are just now packing up our winter clothes. So the 25# loss has been slow to show.

But it was so cool for a neighbor, to finally say, "Wow!" You are HOT, and you smell great!"

I did clean up, shower, fix hair, make up, body spray, before I went to visit with my local buds. Something I do not usually do. Not to say I am a slob, but I work for a veterinarian, and my normal mode is jeans, t-shirt, been slimed wardrobe.

Anyway, at 51, it was quite a compliment to be called HOT, by someone who knows me!

YAY!!! That is definitely nice to hear every once in awhile!!

That is so awesome!! What an amazing feeling, I bet... I can't wait to start getting compliments lol. Congrats!! <3

Congrats! That must be an amazing reveal after losing so much weight and then it all of a sudden coming on show! Sometimes I dream about leaving the country and then coming home a new slim lady and wowing all my friends and family =p

yaaaay good for you! and you are so near your goal, congratulations for that too!

What a wonderful feeling! Congratulations on all your hard work!

I must say you do look pretty smokin' hot in your avatar pic!......
