Cool news on the weight loss - that's a great achievement - and even though you were right to decline the ride, I echo what others have said, enjoy the buzz and warm fuzzy feeling of the compliment.

Congratulations on your weight loss. 62 pounds is a LOT of weight to loose. You must be looking HOT to have guys hitting on you. Way to go!

Congrats on the weight loss, that's fantastic!
A few years ago I was in the medical field and made a point most days on my break to sit on a stretch of grass for some sun. It ran along the street. I was shocked at how often a man would pull up and ask if I "needed a ride" somewhere. Really? I'm just gonna jump in your car with you? Ummmm no.....who would do that? Lol

You do NOT look like you're 45! I just looked at your blog and thought you were early 30s. You are gorgeous! Congrats on your arms. I have nice biceps but have bat wings- I can't do much weight lifting because of my heart. I also have really thick skin/stretch marks under my arms, so I don't think my arms would look right unless I had skin removed.
I totally understand how you feel! It feels great when someone really notices you and compliments you. I gained a lot of weight with the birth control and getting sick after I got married. I got sick on my honeymoon and even have a photo dh took of me in bed one morning two weeks later because I had gained 20 lbs literally overnight. I had managed my weight all through high school and college.
When I finally lost the weight, it felt so weird to see guys checking me out. Once I dressed up and went to the Drake with some friends for tea. I took a cab back to to the metra station and a nice homeless guy opened my door for me and helped me with my bags. He told me I looked absolutely gorgeous--and you could tell he was being sincere. He also didn't seem drunk or high. I tipped him $5 I was so happy.
When I got home, dh shook his head and told me he probably said that to all the women.
I didn't care. It was so much better than sitting by the mentally handicapped guy giving himself a hand job on the EL.
I hope your neck pain stays away. I get shooting pains in my legs from pinched nerves in my back. Sometimes it's so bad I can't walk. I understand that pain. I'm so sorry.

You go girl! I'm picturing a little Charlie Hunnam / S of A action going down. Nothing wrong with a little bus stop flirtation. Oh yeah...Charlie Hunnam on bike...asking me if I wanted a ride??? Yes please... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg)
You are doing so great on your weight loss journey and it really is such an ego boost to have someone notice it and compliment you on it.
I stopped to get gas this past Friday and as I was walking in to pay, the owner of the tanker truck that refills the gas stations pumps was walking out...he said to me as he walked past "You are simple beautiful". I said "Thank you" and went on in the store.
That was 4 days ago and I'm still smiling. It just reaffirms all that hard work you've done to have a stranger compliment you.

Cool story!! I wouldn't have accepted the ride either but my head woulda been in the clouds all day with the "what if" scenarios playing in my head. I'd also have been smiling so big all day my jaws would have been aching.
Congrats on the weight loss and enjoy that little flirty flirt!
