If I have a friend who has notably lost weight and I enquire before I give any compliment I normally ask something along the lines of if they were trying too. If my friends are working towards a body they want I want to acknowledge their work, but Im not trying to say “you lost weight? Looking good!” and then the situation being they are very sick, or some other scenario where it wasn’t intentional but a side effect of bad times

If somebody I knew put in hard work to lose weight, I would congratulate them.

As an Oriental Medicine Practitioner, I believe on balance. If you need to loose weight due to health issue I will compliment them. If it is to follow a trend or a Hollywood "Cool thing" I do not. Now as a Puerto Rican , I prefer a thicker woman. Bones are for soup. Last thought: It is your body and if you are happy skinny or overweight it must be your choice. Do not loose or gain weight to impress others. My last partner is 5'8" and 200 lbs. One of the most beautiful woman I ever met.

Well... the article is as good as far as it goes, but it doesn't take into consideration all the reasons there are for losing weight. For example, I'm diabetic and have sleep apnea - both conditions that can be mitigated by weight loss. I am slowly losing weight to become healthier. While I don't need to hear compliments as I work toward better health, an occasional pat on the back is confirmation that I'm heading in the right direction. That being said, I agree that, under most circumstances, silence is probably the best policy...
