I think another issue to is how people just can't seem accept that it takes time. They want results fast and that not how it works. Ultimately people need to realize it's get healthy lose weight not lose weight get healthy. Starving yourself by cutting calories is not healthy.

I think what you said made lots of sense, and it sounds like it made sense to her too. One more reason I think you are exactly where you are supposed to be - because people WILL feel they can talk to you because in a way you are less intimidating. I know I would never go up to one of the hard-body teachers and ask them something like that bc I would feel like they were judging me or they would just tell me everyone can do it, just try harder. Blah!!
I think what you're doing is awesome both for you, and the positive impact i know you are going to have on many many people.

What you said is exactly what I tell clients who are feeling as though they've failed because they haven't lost weight (or as much weight as they'd like). There are always signs of improvement in other ways than weight loss - increases in strength or fitness, or improved health markers, like blood pressure or cholesterol.

As long as they can see that what they're doing is contributing to good health, they're unlikely to give up. And whether they lose weight or not, they're still better off. :)
