What kind of compliments and comments do you get on your weight loss?

I've lost enough weight now that people around me have started to notice.

About ten years ago I lost a lot of weight as well, and my memory of the positive comments I got back then are still really warm and happy memories. They're part of the reason that I look back on that era of my life so fondly. In fact a number of friends were inspired to change their habits and lose a bunch of weight as well. Those sort of reactions are very special I think, the feeling of spreading a positive vibe that has a positive impact on friends and family. I want to be healthy for the sake of being healthy, but these reactions are a positive side effect.

And now that I'm going through a process of losing weight this year, the reactions have started again. My more sensitive friends tend to say things like 'your skin is glowing' and 'you look so healthy'. My more brash friends say things like 'woah you look different'. But my favourite reaction is a couple of friends have started exercising and eating healthy again, and they're messaging me pictures of what they're up to and saying how seeing me do my thing has inspired them. How amazing is that!

So what kind of comments and reactions do you get on your weight loss? I understand that I'm offering a really specific perspective here, a 33 year old man doesn't necessarily get a lot of comments on their physical appearance and health. So I find this sort of thing very novel and positive. I'm sure that if you get comments on how you look aaaallll the time you'd feel very differently, I bet there's a real range of perspectives on this sort of thing. What kind of things do people say to you, and how does it make you feel?
