Being asked for advice

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but since it does feel like a bit of a success, I feel it's appropriate to discuss here.

Over the past few weeks, people have been coming up to me and asking for advice on how to get started and what they could do to help them get in to shape. A little back story, I started losing weight back in August and I weighted as high as 253 and about 2 weeks ago I just hit the 50 pound mark and now weight 203. So I've been a bit successful at losing the weight and keeping it off. I'm finally starting to feel that I've reached a successful point in my efforts. People have noticed everything that I've been doing and how my appearance has changed.

I now know that hard work and commitment to getting in better shape has become noticeable because they stopped just saying that I've lost weight, but are now asking for help on how to get started, how to stay motivated and asking for my advice on different things.

This is my new success, my new victory. It's awesome to feel that people see how I am now, are able to see not just my change, but my new desire in life. I never thought in my life that people would come up to me and ask me what exercises would be good to get started for someone who doesn't work out? what diets they should follow? are these supplements worth taking? what do you think of my foods that i've been eating?

Honestly, I enjoy the faith they have in asking me these questions. Yet, I hardly know any answers to the questions they have, but I still try to give the advice that I've learned from my personal experience and also tell them the same thing that I've learned, "there is no miracle diet, drug or workout that is going to get you a 6 pack. Only dedication and hardwork. If you want to transform,do so like a transformer, one step at a time." (learned that from nerd fitness).

So this was a long little post about what I feel is my bit of success.
