Yeah, what is that about??

I'm still heavier than most of my family, but I fully suspect someone's inner jealousy to come out once I get closer to their sizes. So far, it's been just praise and encouragement from them.

My sister that thinks I look awful now, was supportive until I got below her size. Then the support stopped. My MIL has been supportive. I was so happy to hear that she and my Aunt (whom are both over-weight) started some exercise and "dieting" last week. MIL lost 6 lbs. and Aunt 7 1/2, I am so proud of both of them. It was great to talk to them today and hear how pumped up they are about starting to lose weight. I know my weight loss was a great inspiration for them and I am so glad that I was able to help them.
