What kind of support are you looking for in family? Do you depend on others for shopping or cooking? Or do you mean you get verbal abuse/bullying type comments for your current weight?0

I depend on no one for anything... They r like oh come on... U can't do it... And when I tell them I have lost this and this much I get to hear that you'll gain it back again..!!!

Who are these people? How do these conversations start? A lot depends on context.
If e.g. to state an extreme example, you are constantly yoyo dieting and e.g. calling a sister or friend 10 times per day to discuss weight issues, it could be these people are getting honestly tired of hearing about this topic.
If it is on the other hand e.g. a husband constantly telling you you are doomed to fail, this sounds very close to emotional abuse.0 -
Maybe try making yourself smaller goals to lead up to the big goal... I find that if I tell myself that my first aim is to lose 10lb (I have 30 to go) and then treat myself when I get there etc... Either way, the way I have lost in the past (only regained it because of pregnancy) is by becoming obsessed with MFP.. true story...0

Don't worry, be happy.
If you plan to lose 100 pounds, you will have to want it badly enough to do it without support because there will be times when you don't have any.
If you stick with it and never give up, you'll reach your goal, support or no support.

Thank you sooo much everyone... Now I know I can definitely do it... I have kept a target to lose 2lbs in a week.. I have to go slow because I am breastfeeding my baby..! I need all the motivation and support! Thanks again all of u!0

If they are throwing you off balance, just don't talk about it with them, or as little as you can. Hug it to yourself like your precious little secret and wait for them to realize you are shrinking before their very eyes! You'll find lots of support on here, you don't have to explain or justify yourself to anyone, save your energy for when you need it *hugs*0

I'm here for you supporting you all the way add me if you like thanks Tina0 -
2lbs a week isn't slow weight loss, especially with breastfeeding. Watch out how that might effect your supply. I had a lot of trouble dieting when I was breastfeeding. I had to eat at maintenance calories or it really brought my supply down, but I could exercise. Just something to keep an eye on.0
