Not weight, but the belly rounded and other stuff shifted. I once had a student (well, it was a school for disturbed kids) who would jiggle my upper arms and say "my mom hates when I do that." Well, so did I.Things do shift, Not so perky anymore, are they? Even DH has body changes. Thank goodness we remember!!!! I always wanted to be a feisty old lady, but not so soon (it seems) and in a chair.

Same here! Although I started the "shift" around 37. Wore belly tops until I was 36, not hoochie ones more like hippy clothes, but holy crap when the summer of 37 yo rolled around they were permanently shelved.
I think I was deluded into thinking that if I maintained my weight I wouldn't look like I had aged significantly...wrong!
Ahhhh what ya gonna do? No one cheats age and the ones that try end up looking like a shrunken alien head, imvho.
