Are women impressed when a guy loses a lot of weight?

Because there is this girl that seems to be flirting with me more...I don't know if it's because I've lost some weight and am wearing nicer clothes...or maybe we're just getting to know each other better. What kind of impact do you think getting healthy has on a woman's opinion of a man?

Some impact.

Unlike men, women value personality much more than rock-hard abs. This isn't to say girls don't like a good-looking AND charming guy (but in that case the looks are a plus).

My guess is that it's a combination of both; as she gets to know you, and with your weight loss, she likes what she sees both figuratively and literally. You know?

But don't assume that it's your looks alone that she likes, if you think that way you may start to damage your personality which is probably what she's really going for.
