What was the last compliment you remember receiving? What would be the best compliment you could possibly receive?

The last compliment I got was about how long my hair is and how pretty it is. (I lost all my hair from cancer) :smile:

The best compliment I could get would be if someone told me to stop losing weight I was too skinny. :tongue:

    Most recent compliment was last night from my wife: "Your man boobs have shrunk, they are almost gone! I'm proud of you"...

    Best compliment I could probably receive: "You have muscles... You're not fat, or scrawny, somewhere in between"...

    That's my goal anyway. lol

    In the locker room yesterday, one of my coworkers said that I was an inspiration to a lot of people... I didn't even know that anyone had really noticed!

    I HAVE been told to stop losing weight, and it really irritates me, since I'm still in the 'overweight' category (yes I know BMI is not a reliable indicator of fitness). :)

    My most recent compliment was my husband telling me I looked hot. :)

    The best compliment I could get would be for some of my overweight friends and family to ask me how I did it and actually listen to me and start their own fitness journey.

    My SO looks at me every so often like he's seeing me for the first time, and says, "You're pretty." Even though I've gained some weight in the two years we've been together (he's a great cook). He supports my efforts to get that weight back off.

    I tell him I want to be so hot that even HIS friends will ask, "What does she see in him?"

    The last compliment I received was from my husband and is kind of personal, but of course was lovely :-)

    The best compliment I could receive would be a person who had never met me assuming I'd always been a more average/typical size and thinking it was odd or surprising that I used to be 120+ pounds larger. This has already happened, sort of...but usually in a way that I talked about weight loss a bit before they said something like that.

    That is a WONDERFUL feeling!! It finally happened for me, one of my longtime friends isn't super overweight but she has gained a few and she's really enjoying MFP and has lost quite a lot so far with tracking daily. I'm beyond excited for her! Especially because I've had a DOZEN other friends ask about my progress and seem really excited about MFP and then try it for a couple of days and hate it.

    Hearing compliments about my looks is always nice.

    Hearing compliments about my strength is even better.

    Last compliment? Probably this woman telling me I must be good at my sales job because I have an awesome personality.

    The best compliment I could receive would be if someone told me that I looked so skinny

    My boss told me this morning that I looked "lovely and slim" :)

    I think the best compliment I'd like to get would be for someone to ask me for tips for a healthy lifestyle (and pay attention!)

    I think the last compliment I got was someone telling me "Wow, it's amazing how you can sleep for hours alone with that baby crying." At least I think that was a compliment.

    If it was your wife/SO, I can say with 100% certainty that was NOT a compliment. :laugh:

    last compliment i got was last night a friends father noticed i lost weight and said i looked good

    best compliment was probably when i was in mexico and a woman said i had beautiful eyes, because it was just randomly said in conversation and i had never heard that before about myself

    anything sincere is always great though, and its easy to tell if someone means it or not

    The most recent compliment I received is "You are one of the strongest people I have met." which was said to me by my university tutor a few weeks after something really bad happened to me and I trooped on.

    The best compliment I could receive, I think someone has already said this, is "Wow! How did you do it?!" and then take my advice.
    I kind of already received this one a little from my mum at the beginning of the year, she is now on MFP and has lost a lot! :)
