It would be clear from the person's physical appearance whether they wanted/needed help too, or if they were just being nosy. I had people at my gym ask me about my weight loss, and as I'm sure they just meant it as a compliment as someone might say, "Wow that's a great haircut; where do you go?" I would give those people the 'medically supervised' story. People who obviously needed to lose weight too, I would give them the same 'medically supervised' answer, ask if they were looking for a program, and give them more information if they were. Do you know she gives everyone the same canned answer?
And similarly, if you saw an acquaintance who obviously got a face lift, would you say, "Wow you got a face-lift. Looks great. what's your secret?" and assume they would want to tell you all about their recent nip-n-tuck? Would you hope they would share the info about their great plastic surgeon? I don't know. When you start talking surgery ... It's a little personal.
