How large were your physical changes and how large, if any, were the social ones? Related to anything you feel comfortable sharing, e.g. socializing/meeting new people, work, dating etc.

I'm 5'10". Went from just under 200lbs down to 150. I'm back up to ~160 but with muscle.

Zero social changes. I still have buddies and coworkers I hang out with, but this was always the case. It's like all those Instagram memes, "Do as many squats as the number of girls you've pulled since going to the gym... CHEST DAY". I'm just not a social person and working out hasn't changed that.

That's interesting. I'm a little taller, but I also started at just under 200 pounds, went down to just over 150 and now I'm up to 165.

I'm also pretty introverted, but I feel like I've seen a large social change. Though I think that's largely due to my self confidence.
