    I saw someone today that I hadn't seen for a month or so, and they said I looked "healthy and glowing". It made me smile :)

    I have lost 18 pounds to date and have 17 to goal.

    I ran into colleagues at a networking event that I had not seen in about a year and they said
    "You are aging in reverse, you look younger and healthier every time I see you"

    It was a wonderful compliment as my journey has been about health, not simply weight loss. YAY

    Nice thread. :)

    I've been getting a lot of "you have a perfect, healthy body shape that I hope to attain" type comments from women both offline and on here. It's nice to hear since I work really hard to maintain a good mix of muscle tone and natural curves (based on measurements).

    I also love the stares from people who knew me when I was obese, but haven't said a word about my weight loss of 80 lbs / 5 dress sizes. I'm not sure if they are shocked that I haven't put the weight back on or maybe I just carry myself well and look good (smile), but up and down eye contact says it all.

    I just saw a friend two weeks ago that I'd not seen in over a year. Since seeing her last I've lost almost a 100lbs. The look in her eyes when she saw me was compliment enough, but the couple "wow, you look AMAZING" compliments that followed in the next 10 or so minutes didn't hurt ;).

    My favorite compliment is from my wife. Thank God I have a wife who stayed attracted to me even at my highest, wanted me even when I couldn't fathom how she could. But still, there is a difference. The way she can't keep her hands off me, the way she keeps staring at me with this animal look of passion, and the way she keeps saying "you are so beautiful" (even though I'm a man). It's overwhelming at times, but amazing.

    My sister saw me a couple weeks ago for the first time since T'giving, and her first words were, "Oh my God, you've gotten skinny!" I am nowhere near skinny, but I am thinner than I have been in over 10 years, and it feels great!

    Best compliment ever! Congratulations on the progress!

    "You look more fit!"

    This was from a co-worker of mine who is also an exercise instructor. It was really flattering to hear that I look more fit, and not just smaller, that means my strength training must be working! :-)

    From a trainer I had just met: "I can tell you've been lifting for a while." He also said I had "nice delts." :happy:

    Last summer, I met up with a friend I hadn't seen since Christmas. She couldn't stop cursing, she was so shocked. It was the best reaction I've gotten yet! :laugh: :bigsmile:

    I've only lost 4lbs so far but hearing my wife say she was watching me workout and that I looked strong and sexy was great motivation for this former couch potato.

    My nutritionist telling me she's really proud of me, and saying I "get it," in a way she wishes some of her other clients would "get it." I pretty much floated back to my car that day LOL :)

    UPDATE: ironically after posting this I saw my mother today. She looked at me and said, "are you losing weight?"

    Hooray!

    I overheard two guys (one was a totally hottie) at a party talking about my back and how it was "attractively muscular but lean" that was one of the best compliments ever even though I wasn't supposed to hear it ;)

    "Holy Sh~~ Godmom! There is 1/2 of you now! You look hot!" from my 25 year old god-child - when he saw me after loosing 50 pounds! He is one of my god-children that is 'honest to a FAULT!', SO I knew he was telling the truth.
