Why does she feel the need to lie when I am only trying to help her?

A colleague has been complaining about her weight. I offered to help and share our activities using iwatch to count our steps.

On average without exercise, I do 15000 steps. Since I am trying to help her, Ive increased my steps and walk to most places. All up, I'm doing 25000 steps a day. For the last 7 days, she has been stepping the same amount.

This morning, I found out that she has been lending her watch to one of our colleague when he is jogging. I don't understand why she would cheat herself. When I asked her about it, she still lied.

Oh well, enjoy your doughnut and cream, diabetes is knocking,

I don't understand how you think that YOU walking more will help HER.

You said you increased YOUR steps to help HER. Doesn't make sense.

She's obviously gone along you, doesn't really care and to keep you off her back over it is giving her watch to someone else.

@KaiserSolze
Encourage and give her a challenge. I strive in challenges. She is a very competitive colleague so I thought she would tackle her weight problem the same as she does with work.

She complain daily about her weight. We have a corporate office gym, every time I come back from the gym she harps on about wanting to do it but nobody to motivate her. Hence I offered to help, she went out to buy the watch so we can help motivate each other.

@Random1Thoughts maybe she gets others to do her work too lol

@Random1Thoughts also as others have hinted at or said basically ignore her comments about exercise because clearly she's just making conversation and has no intention of actually doing it. Next time she says "it's so great you're at the gym I wish I had motivation to go" say something like "yes it's great I have motivation to go to the gym, thanks" and leave it there.
