Great thread!
I looked down at my legs while riding the other day, and was so excited those gams were mine. I used to hate my legs. It's really cool to feel good about them!
This year, my nose, which had always run like crazy when I rode, has stopped running! I don't know why, but I suspect the runny nose was due to my aerobic fitness level.
I can now climb all my regular hills without getting out of breath. These are hills I used to feel like barfing on.
I have to eat all the time to maintain my weight. After having spent years watching my weight by dieting, it's refreshing to have to watch to keep from getting too skinny.

Catwoman I'm stealing your quote about all the hard work...
Lynette you are getting my a$$ to the gym to start working on pull ups. I have never been able to do one and hung it up a while ago.
You know that stupid number has such a hold on me sometimes, but these are the things I notice the most:
My boyfriend says "you don't look 190"
Pulling on a pair of pants just to see if they fit and wear them out the door
Dropping my fast blood sugar from 118 (uh oh!) to 83 (score!)
Having a doctor say "you have really muscular feet!"
Not feeling that 'neck rub'
Not feeling like your legs are connected mid thigh and not starting a fire in cordoroys
Sitting in an airline seat with PLENTY of room
and best of all...
Keeping up with the boys and not being the last one in line
OH and don't ever forget...like someone else said....calf definition!!!!
There are women at my work too that treat exercise like a curse. There are SO MANY that live 3 or so miles from work but when I say 'ride a bike' it's like I'm an idiot. There is one woman though that came up to me and started talking about riding and she said that she was 14 miles and it was too far and I said ...no 16 miles is too far and I do it...so she's thinking about it but has child care stuff as well, which is hard to juggle...so yeah I hear you about the selling the house bc they can't get up the steps.
