My Family is doubting my efforts

Exactly show them they are wrong..

ive never lost this much weight the proof is in the system should work for you workout hard and lose that weight and show them

F 'em - prove them, and yourself that they're wrong!

you CAN do it! We are all here for you!

I know it is hard when you hear things from the ones closest to you. Just as they have said in the above comments, do it anyway!! This site is so supportive and inspiring. Make every new friend here that you can. We will be your support system!! Friend me if you wish!!

My mom would always tell me that "something must be wrong with me" since I was exercising so much and not losing weight. There was something wrong, but not with me. I just wasn't monitoring my calories properly. Anyway, usually what people dislike or comment negatively about regarding you is something they have a weakness in themselves. Do it to show them who was right all along, but most importantly, do it for yourself because that is what matters the most. They are just obstacles in your path that you can push out of your way and keep running.

i agree. start proving them wrong and eventually they'll shush up.

I am sorry they are not supportive, hopefully they will come around. Prove them wrong.....this is about you and you can do it!! hang in there:)

This is about you. You are going to lose the weight. Do not pay them any mind. We are all here for you on MFP. Make sure you have a lot of us on your friends list for support. Like they all said...Prove them all wrong. YOU CAN AND WILL DO THIS!!!!

yes, that is very difficult. family is family. people are very supportive on this site and I hope it makes you feel better. In my home life people are sometimes supportive and sometimes not. for example, my mom bought all the crap I can't eat and filled my house with it, and my husband just flat-out refused to go for a walk with me so now I have to friggin exercise alone, which i hate to do.

Review YOUR goals and why YOU want to be different, why YOU want to make this change. Sorry to use caps but i have to in order to kind of emphasize the part of the sentence that matters.

For me, there is only 3 reasons I am losing weight, and only 2 that really matter to me right now, today: 1) arthritis 2) pregnancy 3) be a hot wife for my sexy husband

What are your reasons?

If you care to read on, these are the reasons behind MY reasons:

The less weight I carry, the easier it is on my joints and nursing school is wicked stressful, and that makes me rheumy. I am not pregnant yet, but I am 27 and I wanna have kids. Having taken OB and pediatrics in nursing school, I realize that for me to feel comfortable and believe that I have done absolutely everything in order to give those kids the best shot at life, I have to be healthy a year in advance of the pregnancy, and for that entire year. A year of maintenance at a good starting weight (BMI 21-22), of good nutrition (folate, iron, calcium, vit. D, B vitamins),stable blood sugars, a year of core strength training. pregnancy is hard on the body and labor is work and it's good to have strong vasculature and ab muscles; I don't really want diastasis recti but if it happens or if I need a c-section, i want my ab muscles to recover well. that means starting off with a better hand of cards than I have right now, today. So, those are my goals.

Yes, I have tried and failed before, but every time I write 'em down and read 'em over again, I become more committed. Yes, I really hope I make it this time. Yes, I have been trying for 4 years to lose weight, and I lose and gain, lose and gain. This is the first year I have a genuinely good reasons all to myself that aren't really dependent on some vain or non-specific health related reason. And I'm gonna make it this time and maintain.

I've been the type to say one thing (like diets) and not follow through. It would last maybe a couple day and then I was back to my regular eating habits. A friend from another site mentioned MFP, I signed up New Years Eve and I weighed myself. What I saw on the scale pissed me off but it made me so sad for myself. How did I get this big? Yes, I have 3 children but that was no excuse to still carry the extra weight. I have been on this site for a week now, logging in my calories and being under my goal. I feel great! My husband sees how determined I am. Tonight, he said "don't get too skinny on me". The word "skinny" and "me" have never been in the same sentence directed to me. I am going to prove everyone that I can do this and hopefully to inspire other people.

I wish you the best of luck on YOUR journey to losing the weight.

Dont worry 2 much about what others say. It's harder said than done, I know, but with every pound or inch u loose it will get easier! People will c u are serious about this and they will come around. They are ur family n they love u, so they will support u, u might just have 2 prove it 2 them! Stay possitive, n have fun with ur weight loss journey! U will do great!

I agree with doramouse; don't talk about it, just do it! My husband and kids have no idea what I am doing. They see the food scale and measuring cups; and I confirm my bubbie can stay with the kids when I plan to work out. I will show them my loose pants; when they get loose

Find a diet and workout plan that works for you, and Do It ! Good luck !
