Hi folkdancer, congratulations on nearing your goal, it's a hard journey but so worth it. You're right that you can only wish your loved ones will one day be ready to lose the weight that it sounds like is threatening their lives. I don't know how much weight you have lost, but I know after losing 75 lbs, I wasn't ready until I was ready if that makes sence. Several of my family & friiends approached me before I was ready to begin, and I was only offended and hurt. All you can do is show them by your example how good it feels to be at a healthy weight.
Don't stress over the last 6 lbs. They'll come off in their own good time, just keep plugging along and maybe try tweaking your points or add in some exercize. As you get this close, take comfort in how far you've come, not how far you have left to go. You are nearly there, be proud of yourself.
Take care, Jo
Thanks Jo for coming back to be so fast....I do a lot of reading and getting information. I started before the Holidays, coming off slowly but coming off...like 19 pounds..I do a lot of dancing so I don't need a lot of weight on me.
