NSV that Ladies My Age can probably understand



Recommended Posts

I am in my late 40s, lost 130+ pounds over the last year and a really nice looking man hit on me yesterday. He was probably a couple of years younger then me, but in my age range for sure. I had to restrain myself from thanking him and giving him a kiss before sending him on his way... I did restrain myself but it made my day and then some! I was dressed conservatively, but smartly (nice black jeans, a calvin klein fitted jacket (thank you ross for less) and nice boots. It is not that I am dying to be hit on, it is more like I spent the rest of that day feeling really confident - like the way i looked, my demeanor attracted a person I considered desirable - like maybe for the first time in a very long time I am projecting the image of myself I want to project.

Woo hoo you go cowgirl LOL

I totally understand how flattering that would be. I'm deeply in love and committed to my marriage, but I do remember the days when I'd get hit on more often and I miss the confidence that gives you :) I think I'd be sky high LOL

AmyTug, I am not yet at goal but I am posting a few photos. I have had two people tell me that photos don't do me justice which was a nice compliment but what I think they REALLY meant was that I am obviously self conscious and don't stand proud in photos yet...

Guys will understand this too.

Being an "official old man" I have to say that when WE do this to a younger lady we all get laughed at or branded a dirty old man :)

Okay, just to be clear - he initiated conversation and gently touched my hair - I wasn't the dirty old woman here...lol.

My point really was that when you are noticed by someone that you find interesting, it feels like a compliment. As opposed to recently my friend and i walking down the street being followed by a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Santa Clause - he was barking at us... who we soon noticed was missing pants (those were boxer shorts, not really shorts!) and was staggering drunk. THAT was NOT a compliment.

See the difference? LOL

Ok my husband and several couples went out dancing and 2 men - strangers I might add- asked me to dance - that hasn't happened in a very long time!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
