Say thank you, feel good about it, and don't question it. You more than deserve it! Yeah! It feels good, doesn't it! Sometimes it's hard to accept a compliment for what it really is… a compliment.

Congratulations! Compliments are wonderful, whether biased or unbiased. Someone wanted you to feel better about yourself, and that alone matters. One of the things that's hardest for me to do (and to remember to do, for that matter) is to compliment myself. I hope you'll remember to pat yourself on the back now and again for the remarkable progress you've made. Hi, I'm just finding your blog, and I'm highly impressed by your successes! Congratulations!

When I was in college I had a t-shirt that for some unknown reason compelled the women around me to desire to rub my chest and compliment it. Perhaps I could loan it to you, provided I could find it. HA! Wait, are you married? If so, your wife might not be too happy. "Just need to focus on building some momentum and generating another one of those great compliments."

Nobody has commented on my weight loss yet, but I just started. I hope when I dive below 200 someone will say something. That's really cool.

They will end sooner than later and it's great motivation when they happen. This week at my WW meeting I was the biggest loser (75 pounds) and I had everyone asking me questions and it felt great!

I've lost 55 and I still crave compliments. I don't know why it is so important to have people notice, but I think it is because it is hard work and we want people to say "Hey, you've worked hard and it has paid off. You are hot. Good job!" or something. :) I agree that you should just enjoy this compliment, biased or not. I am so large, and my loss has been slow, so many people can't tell, but as soon as I hit 50 pounds, I was telling everyone at work. It's something to be proud of! Your progress photos are great!

People are noticing. Was it unbiased? Unless the guy was asking for a raise or your season tickets, absolutely. No need to analyze- enjoy! Well hey, there you go! People are noticing.
