Any odd body changes since you've lost weight?

I'm wondering how common it is for people to notice physical oddities about themselves as they've lost weight. I was sitting with an elderly friend of mine last week, who had just gotten back getting blood work done. He looked at my arms and said "Boy, I bet they don't have any trouble getting blood out of you, do they?" As I've lost weight my arms in particular have developed a series of really prominent veins just under the skin.

I guess it's an artifact of weight loss, and some muscle loss since I can't do much strength-wise with my arms. I look a bit like a pumped up body-builder without all the nice muscle.
