    I don't really respond unfortunately. I feel as if people just say it to make me feel better because I don't notice it at all.

    With a smile, and some pride, I guess!

    Break out in song and dance to: "I'm sexy and I know it... girl, look at that body... yeah... I workout"


    Haha, jk

    I just say thank you, but I like the suggestions above about saying "Thanks and I feel great too" :)

    I tell them not to congratulate me yet because I just got started, but thank you for noticing. :smile:

    for me it took people until after I dropped 30lbs...then compliments came and folks asking how did I do it...a simple thanks is good along with what I did...eat the right things...track cals and macros along with a hardcore training regimen...I always figured they ask because maybe they would like to do something positive with themselves but just don't know where to start

    I usually say "Yeah and my penis is getting bigger too"

    I say "thanks and I still have a long way to go." Then I go around grinning like an idiot for the rest of the day! :happy:

    I just read the other day that it takes at least 4 weeks for you to notice changes to your own body.....it takes 6 weeks for a significant other to notice weight loss, 8 weeks for family and friends to notice, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Just a thought to keep you motivated if you haven't hit one of those milestones yet.

    It took awhile for people to comment on it. Around 35 lbs a few people noticed, but as soon as i hit 50 everyone seemed to. I just say thank you, im trying! Then they usually ask what how ive lost it and what im doing. When i say counting calories and eating healthy they usually look disappointed LOL.

    That disappointed look is what I get, too. It's like they were hoping for some miracle pill or magic wand or something.

    I think a 'Thank You' and a big ear to ear grin to let them know how fantastic you feel and are!
