Said about me to a friend at her office after I had stopped in:

"If I was the director, I'd hire him and keep him around the office doing stuff just so I could look at him!"

My best compliment "Holy ****.... you are hot!"

This was from a male colleague / coworker I have known for many years but since we didn't work at the same location he hadn't seen me since I was over 300#. He was very embarrased as it was not an appropriate thing to say in a work setting... but i loved it.

I can't really think of a bad one....

Blue, that was very rude, but your story did give me a good laugh. Some people really have NO filter!

Today:

Friend I haven't seen in about a year: "Wow, you lost a LOT of weight! When did you lose all that weight?"

Me: "Last week."

Seemed nicer than saying "You haven't seen me in a year - when did you THINK I lost it?!?"

My worse and best compliment when getting scrutinized at the border...in BOTH directions...because I no longer look like my passport picture. I was scared they weren't going to let me cross!

I figure people have seen me gain and lose so many times already' date=' they probably figure they're wasting their breath [/quote']

This is how I feel as well.

I've been complimented on my hair when I had done nothing to it, been told I look much better without my glasses when I don't wear glasses...people can't always put their finger on what has changed.

A male nursing assistant on my unit complimented me on my weight loss but warned me to not lose too much because "a dog won't chase a bone if there's no meat on it". Uh...ok.

Best: my daughter told me she can grasp her wrists behind my back while hugging me. Apparently, she couldn't even touch her hands before!

Worst: the extra skin comment...UGH. What the heck do you care what I do with my extra skin?!?!?

Funniest: an elderly lady that comes into work occasionally didn't recognize me at all until I spoke and then she GUSHED for 45 minutes over how fabulous I look now and proceeded to tell me that I need to buy some nighties so my hubby will stay interested in me. Uh, what?

HA HA HA out of the mouths of babes and old people. Neither have a filter!

How about the incredible shrinking women that made me smile

Bit of a left field comment from a male friend was that my thighs are getting too thin ... for what???? Another guy asked where my butt went... Neither has ever made any comment about me before, so I didn't know they cared lol!

Fav compliment you are so tiny". Not really but i am getting there :-)

My dietician takes the prize for the comment that means the most to me " you are nearly normal" Laughed my head off but knew he was referring to my BMI!!!!

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

This reminds me when my ex Sig other came from grocery store and said "i was looking around the store and i think you are now normal!"

All I ever wanted was to be normal looking so it was a compliment but funny.

My dietician takes the prize for the comment that means the most to me " you are nearly normal" Laughed my head off but knew he was referring to my BMI!!!!

- you kind of look like opie(from sons of anarchy)

- i don't mean to be rude but are you sick... with like cancer or something

and my favorite because I don't even notice it and it sent my wife into a blind rage.

- getting checked out while holding my wife's hand

I had a new one (to me) yesterday. I ran into a guy I used to work with and he moved his hands in a kind of hourglass shape and said in his cute British accent, " You're... You... it looks...well, there's less of you, isn't there?"

Yup.
