    I've been here almost 2 years and I lost 5 pounds. If I lost any more I would be underweight. Weight maintenance and fitness improvements are valuable goals and achievements as well.

    Arguing on a thread about arguing...classic!

    Anyway, I'd just not talk to them about it. I've had situations like this with my friend and she just will not listen to any form of reason once she's made her mind up on something so I just let it pass now and weightloss doesn't factor into our conversations, if they bring it up just change the subject or eat something so you can't talk, preferably cake. :)

    From the MFP forum guidelines: (this is not for the OP, but the 2 folks fighting)

    2. No Hi-Jacking, Trolling, or Flame-baiting

    Please stay on-topic in an existing thread, and post new threads in the appropriate forum. Taking a thread off-topic is considered hi-jacking. Please either contribute politely and constructively to a topic, or move on without posting. This includes posts that encourage the drama in a topic to escalate, or posts intended to incite an uproar from the community.

    Hi there,

    Your doing it RIGHT !!!!!!

    Allow yourself a treat now and again otherwise what's the point ( my treat is cake and wine on a sunday ).

    Be strict with yourself and you will lose and maintain the weight!

    Your mum and sisters fad diets are not good and harmful to their bodies even though they maybe slimmer than you.

    :drinker:

    I think losing weight is just like politics! Don't talk about it with family!!!

    I get that a lot. I say (in a duh-voice) "I'm going to burn it off".

    That's enough for most people - if you talk about exercise instead of about food choices then no one feels inclined to argue. Everyone has a different opinion about what foods you should or shouldn't eat, but everyone is agreed that exercise is A GOOD THING (even if they don't actually do any).
