OK, I'm going to be the contrarian here - I hate my menopause induced jiggles, LOL! While the number on the scale might not really be all that significant, the number on the measuring tape is. That's what I find scary and my constant motivation to keep running and training.
Sometime last year, I read a magazine article, can't remember which magazine, about what 150 lbs looks like on different women. I wanted to be the 6' woman because 150 lbs has more territory to spread out and looks better than on a petite frame. But, the bottom line was that 150 can still look fit.
My mom said I don't look as rotund as I did a couple of years ago (even though I've not had any significant weight loss). This means that the scale is about the same, but the tape is beginning to tighten up ever so slightly. That's a good thing. But, I still have a long way to go to get rid of the belly smiling back at me in the bathroom mirror. So, fit is what I want to look like, not just how I feel. It's going to take a lot more work, LOL!
Congratulations on being a long-time cancer survivor, that is absolutely awesome.
