I've overcome a lot of challenges, and have a strong educational background in psychology and communications. I believe that common sense and honesty are key to success in life -- and that most of us have common sense which we choose to ignore when making decisions.

My brother's friend who is about 20 years old just lost a significant amount of weight. However, he never expressed a desire to lose weight to any of us, so I'm wondering...would it be appropriate to tell him he looks good??? How would I even word that? (link)

I'd be careful with this one ... you don't want to give the impression that you thought he looked bad before, or reinforce any idea that his worth as a person is tied to how he looks. I'd leave off the "these days" part of "you look great" and just pay him the kind of compliment you'd pay anyone. If he looks particularly good on any given day, tell him so. But if he hasn't been vocal about wanting to lose weight, he may prefer not to have a big deal made out of it.
