For example the best compliments for me are the fact that my previous classmates that had known me for 7 years don't recognize me on the street,at all :D

    My most recent one was being told I'm looking long and lanky, something I haven't heard since before gaining weight.

    They don't even have to say anything. I just love the double take that people do when they haven't seen me for over a year. It's awesome!

    A few weeks ago, a young woman at my work who I know only a little was talking to my coworkers as I walked up. They were discussing how time passes for everyone, and she turned as she saw me walking by and said "except for " [mynamehere] ", she's starting to age in reverse!" and told me I look great and asked me what I've been doing :) A couple of people have been kind enough to tell me I look 'skinny' over the last year or so but it was nice to hear that the changes look good and healthy on me.

    Friday morning before class I was preparing a lab and one of my early students said "Mrs. Fuelling, you look so pretty today!" Pretty. No one has ever called me pretty. That moment will live with me forever.

    I'm not done with my weight loss, but I have lost a lot of weight so I look different from my Junior year in HS.
    So I saw one of my HS teachers the other day and she was talking to my sister. She asked my sister "So where's your sis?" and I go "I'm right here!!!" xD
    She said she didn't even recognize me! That I look so thin <3 Made my day lol

    I met someone from college who I haven't met since (19+ years) and he commented how much weight I lost. Yes, I weigh now about what I weighed at 15.

    Being told how confident I look. Insanely better than "you look so pretty/great/beautiful/hot/skinny/better/different"

    "You weigh as much as I do" -My sister, who I have always thought of as much much smaller than me.

    When people who I always considered thin or whose body's I have admired ask me "How did you get your arms like that?!" To the yoga instructor I thought in my head "Not yoga..."

    Best on yet for me was I walked by one of my co-workers office and I hear them say "who was that?" to someone in the office with them. They didn't realize the person they saw walk by was me. They stick their head out and say "Oh it's MH! I didn't recognize you from behind you really look great!"

    LOL!

    Such a great moment!
