Most of my family are not supportive, except a few members. That and I need some good words of encouragement to keep me going. Don't plan on giving up, just need some woo hoo's and wtg's lol

    i can totally tell that you have lost weight! great job and keep up the hard work! I can relate to not having family members there to help, but that is why you are now a part of the MFP family!!! :)

    My family wasn't "unsupportive", but they would tease me when I would sit down at the dinner table and put my plate on the scale to "weigh" my food portions. When they would comment, I would reply, "What do you care? I'm not making you weigh YOUR food!"

    I can honestly say that they are all extremely proud of me, so I trust that your family will come around!

    Woooo HOOO on the 27 lbs.! That is great!

    In some ways its a kick up the butt because they're not supporting you! Prove them all wrong!!!! You're doing great, don't let anyone take that away from you!

    "It doesn't matter how slow you go, you're still lapping those sat on the couch" ... I have this on my wall for motivation!

    Good luck with your journey, i'm sure you will succeed! :)

    After starting my own program over a year ago - I know how hard it is to take the weight off without the home support. I know it can be done though - I've dropped 120 pounds now and still going strong. I WILL reach my goal :) I know you can too!

    My MFP journey started in January this year and it is not always easy to make good choices, specifically if others around you are not helpful
    This Sunday my wife and I got a great feedback, we were out eating lunch after church and we all ordered, when two salads with grilled chicken dressing on the side came to the table... this was the comment

    "of course you get the salads and we double up on the fat" ... made my day, people know what to do, but are unwilling to do it. (for us this was positive feedback, but I can see how it can go into the other direction

    Please take comments as encouragement, because you are making good choices as your progress shows.

    way to go

    You are doing a great job! My family is not incredibly supportive sometimes, either which really makes it hard. But I think a lot of it is just that when you see someone making positive changes, it makes you feel bad that you are not. Don't let it get to you. You have done great, keep up the good work! It will be worth every minute of pain, tears and sweat!

    your doing a great job. Do this for you and only you. They say that the people closest to you are the ones to sabbatoge your efforts. This is a life long healthy change (for the best) . YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

    Good for you, be proud of what you have accomplished so far. Remember you are doing this for yourself and yourself only. 27 lbs is amazing and it takes a lot of strength to lose weight when you do not have a lot of support but you have mine and everyone else on this board. Awesome job and keep it up!!

    Way to go! You are amazing no matter what anyone else thinks! And it seems like you have plenty of support from friends on this website! Congratulations and keep up the good work. Maybe they are seeing that if you can do it, they should be trying harder to make themselves more healthy. It make take your good work to get them on the right track too!
    Congratulations on getting healthy. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about becoming a better YOU!
