I told family, some of my closest friends and my boss. Beyond that circle, I don't really find it to be their business. It was a very personal and private choice. If asked what I am doing, I tell them the truth that I workout daily, cut out carbs and sugar and eat smaller portions.

Q1: Y & N; I only told some immediate family, close friends and co-workers. Everyone else who notices the weight loss and asks how I am doing it, I tell I am watching my portion sizes and exercising, because that is true and all they need to know.
