Frustration

This may be long winded but I have to get this out . . .
I did round 1 of P90X and lost 25 lbs, total of 14.5 inches in 10 weeks. I did not finish the program due to a week stay in the hospital with my baby girl. But, I am now almost done with week 2 of round 2 of P90X, this time Classic not lean and I am seeing more results this time around than before. I am also on week two of Shakeology and love it! I am happy for the most part (other than my impatience with not losing weight from the scale . . . hate that scale) and look forward to getting this round done and then starting Insanity.
My frustration is with my family and friends. I love them . . . . but . . . . they all say they want to get into better shape after seeing changes in me yet . . . none of them are doing it! They comment and say they want to sign up with me and its frustrating. Why talk to me about it if you aren't going to do it? So then when I follow up with them and ask them when they are going to start and that I'm here to help or what not (since I signed up to be a beach body coach and like that so far). And they say they will but then don't. Its very hard to watch people say they want changes and then they do NOTHING to change their lifestyle. And then when we have gatherings or anything else, I get sucked into their bad habits and have to politely decline things and half the time have to explain why because they are offended. I am not pushing people to order programs or Shakeology, etc., but have suggested it would help them get what they want. They say, oh yeah, will look at it and order some soon yet . .. nothing! Grrr! Yet they keep asking me about it, and I am fine telling them about it but I hate repeating myself and then hearing them complain. I almost want to just say (and I dont because I'm not that mean) that they wont change unless they change it and they need to get off their butts and do something about it instead of whining.
What is so wrong with a healthy lifestyle? Why shouldn't I want to surround myself with people who want to be healthy and have the same goals and interests as me?
Sorry if this is more of a rant than I should post but its getting old!
