    Nope.

    They mostly either:
    1. Don't believe I lost weight just by eating less and moving more....mainly because they see me eating all the time.
    2. Still believe in fad diets
    3. Are just pissed that I lost weight and they didn't (even though they didn't do anything to achieve their goal).
    ^^^^ and so much this!!! We have had three rounds of "The biggest Loser" at my work and the people that have the hardest time losing weight and want to whine about it to everyone are the same ones that hit the candy bowls on everyone's desk two or three times a day!! A snack size candy bar is around 70 calories, you probably only burned about 4 getting up and walking to the candy bowl and back to your desk... do the math!!

    Exactly the same thing happens where I work. Now that my results are visible I get a lot of "Having just one won't hurt you" as they try to push Girl Scout cookies, candy & cake at me! There's a reason why I didn't buy any Girl Scout cookies this year.

    I have tried to educate my colleagues, but they are mere blind fools who believe that in order to lose weight they must eat nothing but lettuce leaves, and that if they so much a run a finger over a dumbell they will instantaneously blow up to a female Arnold Schwarzenegger and grow chest hair and veiny arms. So I let them get on with it.
