    Hmmm It's really none of your business to confront him.

    He's only lying to himself, who cares if he lies to MFP. Eventually he will realize he is not truly being realistic but until then, all you would most likely do by confronting him is offend him...

    In my opinion, it doesn't involve you so there's no point in confronting him. If he wants to lie to HIMSELF that's his choice but he won't see the results he wants.

    Exactly. He knows in his heart he's not being honest, not with MFP, but with himself. If he's not dedicated to his own health, there's nothing you can do about it. You can lead a horse to water........

    I think you should confront this idiot!...I mean, you seem to have quite the ripped body! so whatever you're doing is working!

    LOL, that's Tony Horton in the avatar.

    Seriously- butt out. MYOB. It doesnt affect you. If he whines and complains to you, say something like "maybe you should double check to make sure your portions are right" but for reals, no one asked for your help or in put- keep it to yourself.

    LOL denial! Well, he will be the one to post on here eventually wonder why he is gaining not losing, and when he does, you can kindly point out what you are seeing and possibly offer to show him the correct way to log calories.

    Meanwhile, if he isnt asking, I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. Of course, this is coming from a woman, and we dont typically take lightly to any comments regarding weight, food, etc etc unless asked, and even then, tread lightly! HAH

    Or if you see him chow hounding, maybe you can casually say, How many calories are in that bucket of yogurt? I would love to know your secret of staying in your caloric goals! LOL

    Eh, I dont know. Maybe just keep quiet.

    Unless he comes to you for advice, I wouldn't give him any.

    If you consider this coworker a friend, then call him on it. If this guy is really trying to reach his goals, and you are in the kind of shape that you are in, then you call him on it. He probably looks up to you. You're his role model. As a matter of fact Tlaney, you serve as a role model of fitness to everyone. Take the time out and have a one on one with your pal, by calling him on it.

    Now, if you don't consider this coworker a friend or don't know him too well, then mind your own business.

    That's my 2 cents.

    You don't have to confront him. The scale will tell him everything he needs to know.
