Friends and family tell me i'm obsessive!

They're just a little worried. My mom's like that.
It sounds like you're doing great and sticking with your diet. Keep it up!:)

There's a fine line between dedication and obsession, commitment and abandonment of your other responsibilities, care from you family vs destructive criticism. Listen to their concerns and make sure you spend time with them - hopefully you can convince them that they're not losing you (which they might be worried about) and get their support.

I think any plan that has a rest day is not obsessive ... as long as you are rotating you muscle groups you are fine! Just stay committed but don't take it all too serious! Have fun which I am sure you are!

They might be more concerned about what happens when you start looking and feeling so good. It might just be their own fear of being left with having to make a choice of getting healthy or watching you be happy.

Your not obsessive unless your like me and talk about it all the time and have been trying to lose weight for off and on for 16 years that my friend is obsessive.

If they think your obsessive, then they would think I'm neurotic lol. My family is not that supportive either, and gives me funny looks when I turn down their high fat fried food, but in my family I'm the only one who has decided to make a change or NEEDS to make a change. My MIL,SIL,FIL are all over weight and my husband has never had a weight problem. He can eat everything in Sight and he's still toned and you can barely pinch any fat on him anywhere. Since none of my inlaws will admit they have a problem OR effectively deal with their weight, they all see me as crazy and say things I'm sure they mean to be "nice" or "helpful" ( "you don't need to lose weight, you look fine.") I know these are "compliments" or whatever, but sometimes it's just frustrating.

Maybe your family and friends think they're being "nice" or "helpful" with the things they say. I haven't quite figured out yet hoe to ask them to just leave me alone without sounding rude. As they are sort of right, I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but I do know myself and without watching what I eat and exercise I pack on pounds VERY fast and I don't want to end up where they are.

Maybe that's what you could tell them, "I just want to be healthier, and not gain any more weight." your workout schedule is great! Just gotta find a way to quiet the negative.

Ignore them and do not, I repeat do not succumb to the negativity!! You are focused and have a plan to accomplish your goals. Stick w/ it!!!!! I work out 6 days a week for approx. 2 hours - weight lifting, tabata drills, various classes and eat mostly healthy. I don't get negative stuff from my g'friends as we all have BEAST mode engaged, my husband would like to see me workout less. Not gonna happen.

It's human nature to snub peole when they're doing something awesome for themselves that the other person is not doing. I think we all do it at some point and really have to check ourselves and ask "hey, why am am I being like that. What do I care?" Good for you on your accomplishments!!

Sometimes just knowing you feel better than you've ever felt before is the satisfaction you need around some people. So glad I found mfp,these motivational comments are the only thing that get me to exercise sometimes,but then so glad I did it afterwards.

Do not, I repeat..... DO NOT listen to anyone but yourself and your body. You will know if you are doing too much. And, if you are getting the results you want you can assume they are simply jealous and feeling guilty that THEY aren't doing anything to better themselves.

Keep at it. Good going, by the way!

They might just be shocked by how much you've changed your lifestyle. It's a big change for anyone to make, and they're probably just surprised at the turnaround in your eating habits and exercise routine.

I was always the chubby daughter, and my mother tried to get me to stop eating so much and lose some weight, as she was concerned about my health. In three years, I've very lowly gone from a UK 16 to a UK 10. I don't eat like I used to anymore and I exercise more (generally - I've gotten lazy!). Now my parents are telling me not to lose any more weight, and they've asked me if 'm eating properly in college. Can't win!

They're just concerned at the big changes you've made, in case you end up going too far. It's not lack of support, just concern:)

I hear it all the time from my wife and mother....Thankfully, I have some friends who are equally as dedicated as I am (and MFP of course)......:)

Mine stopped when they realized I am not listening, I will even say I am sorry I wasn't listening then give a beautiful award winning smile :happy:

Come on its your family what are they going to do, love you no matter what :flowerforyou:

I was actually told that I am "obsessed with my weightloss" too, but I say it's better to be dedicated to getting fit then to getting fat!
