The last two comments I have gotten on my weight loss were number questions, as in "so how many pounds have you lost?" I prefer the generic "You look great comments." Talking numbers makes me uncomfortable.
I got a strange but good comment the other day on my running. I run around the park where my kids practice football. A woman I had never noticed before, stopped me at the football game and said "Hey, I timed you the other day running around the field." It kind of took me back a bit. But then she said that she saw me running, and that I never stop and that make it look easy like I am not struggling a bit or even sweating. Truth is, I feel like a hot mess out there, red faced, pouring sweat, and panting, so the compliment outweighed the weirdness of being timed without knowing it by a stranger. And now that I know, maybe I'll run faster LOL
