Hotsplashes, I'm so sorry your family is going through these difficult issues. It's hard to watch a sibling do things to harm their health (I know). I don't really have any advice ... just an observation that it's almost impossible, in my opinion, to put other people on the road to health or weight loss ... they have to put themselves on it. People lose the weight when they are ready or they don't lose it at all. Something has to go "click" in our brains before we can make the changes necessary. When others push us, it almost never works. We have to want to do it for ourselves. Maybe your sister and her husband just need space to work out their own motivation, while you concentrate on just being a great example and pal to the family, as I can see you are already. Dunno. Might work. Good luck.
