A couple of points I've picked up since my last contribution -
I had the people noticing something but not putting their finger on it thing - like "that's a nice skirt" or "have you had your hair done"
Also, I do think that generally people notice before they say something. Certainly I know that people asked my secretary whether I'd lost weight before they asked me, and that when it happens in reverse I like to be sure that someone has lost weight before putting my foot in it because they're ill, haven't lost and are touchy about their weight, don't want it mentioned etc etc.
I second the centre of attention thing - it's taken some adjustment to be able to talk about it without getting embarassed or trying to deflect compliments etc because I didn't feel like I deserved them.
And when they want to know the "secret", I have to laugh too! Particularly when they ask me what my secret is as I'm scoffing chocolate... Everything in moderation, and lots of exercise to work off those sins, and that's about the most specific I can be about it
