You are assuming that they are trying to lose weight.
I see people who look to be healthy and fine (who knows) reading while on a machine. The pace is not one that will really help them maintain their weight or lose more weight but I don't know their motivation. Maybe this is their cool down time?

I see plenty of people at the gym working out in ways that are not healthy (awful form) or just goofing off. Many times I assume that they are there so that they can say "I went to the gym" if someone asks them about their weight.
What it gets down to is I am not them and I really need to not worry about why they are there and concentrate on me. I don't want to do that because it will not help me achieve my goals. I am going to have to assume that they are being honest with themselves regarding their exercise and how it helps them achieve their goals.
(shrugs) It is their money and their motivation, I will let them worry about it and I'll worry about myself.
I do have this internal conversation on a regular basis at the gym.
