I have noticed that people in general interact with me differently. For example - I was given a free sample of high end face cream at Macy's last week. I have been buying this same brand make up for years and have never been given any free samples... much less one of their more expensive items. Also - last Friday night I went to meet some friends out. I was walking up to the door of the bar and a man sitting on the bench outside smoking with a friend deliberately stood up, opened the door for me and then went to sit back with his buddy on the bench. Again... never happened to me before.

Your friend could well be right @Marni3369 I consider myself a gentleman (I may be very wrong and nowadays may be wrong to even try and be one) and will open doors, allow others thorough, smile and wish people a good day though ONLY if they look like the are happy to have that interaction. You may carry yourself differently, walk more positively and look like you are happy to be there in which case people will pay more attention to you. Nothing to do with weight - all to do with attitude. Keep smiling, you make a difference to other people's day as well.

Pardon the long list! I will skip reporting steps for Feb, but I will be back in March.
I don't really have much to share. I have been focussing on the gym the past week. Haven't had any more muscle pain so that is nice. The weather hasn't been good and my energy was low, so no walks. Doesn't look good for next week either. Hope everyone is doing well and good luck for February!
