It has been a year since I have seen my family (we live out of state) so we are up visiting and I can't help but feel sorry for myself, lol.. as pitiful as it sounds my parents and siblings have lost a lot of weight and look fantastic. I feel like the fat blob of the family.. when before I had my baby I was the small one... BLEH!
On the other hand I feel inspired to get my act together and really start loosing, so my goal is but my next year when I come up here to have all of my weight off, (60lbs) that's doable!

    That is totally doable! I soooo know how you feel! In my family all the women seem to trade spots from time to time on who is the "fat blob"... right now it seems to be my turn, so I am trying to pass it on too! Good Luck! YOU CAN SOOO DO IT!

    I had always been the "thin" sister until i wasn't anymore...scared me when i looked in the mirror and saw my sister staring back at me...that and some not so nice comments got me motivated! A year and a half later I am down 44 pounds and within 12 pounds of my "ideal" body weight; I reached by goal weight a while back, so set a new goal weight.....

    Your goal is totally doable! MFP is the most motivating thing I have found in my efforts to lose weight. Good luck to you! Remember, your family loves you however you look, but you need to do it for yourself to be happy with how you look & feel!

    Kristy you can soooooooooooo accomplish this, especially with all of the support you will find on MFP!! I have five sisters and we also take turns being the overweight one. This time, however, I am taking control of my situation by getting the weight off in a healthy way. Good luck on your journey ~ we will all be here to support you!! :flowerforyou:

    I grew with 4 sisters that were all thin except me......i have had to work my butt off just to be a size 12-14.......all my sisters, blonde and thin, eat whatever they want have created alot of jealousy in my life but i have learned that its about being the best me and that everyone has their struggles in life, its how we deal with and conquer them thats the key. Its great your family is motivating you to become better. I love this site, everyone is amazing. 60 pounds in a year is an awesome goal! You can do it!!
