Default What do you say when

So the other day a neighbor I don't really know complemented me on my weight loss, and then said that she needs to lose weight but "doesn't have the motivation to get out and run like you do."

I was overweight for a long time - and I don't think there's anything wrong with that - and I hate to think that my weight loss might make someone just like me feel bad....

What's the best way to respond in this situation? I just smiled and thanked her for the compliment.

You did great. I might say,..."when the time is right you will now when and how....the motivation will come when you are ready." how's that ?

Yeah, thank you is probably enough. Someone commented on my FB and asked "wow, where do you get the motivation get up and exercise?" My answer - its a daily struggle, I don't have any magic motivation pill. I fight with myself every day, but I go.
