    I'm so sorry the people around you have been ugly and discouraging. Try to disregard their comments. You can do it! I think I would just not talk about my plan to lose weight around them anymore. Then just let them notice that you are shrinking! Wishing you all the best!!

    The people around you maybe need to not be the people around you.. people around you should be encouraging.. not discouraging..
    HEre is a piece I got that really helped me out on the discouraging people...

    "Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships.
    Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean?
    Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, or appreciate you? The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, then the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life."

    You can do this.. with the help of mfp.. they are good people and here to encourage.. to help you get motivated and cheer you on when things are going well and even when things aren't so good..
