    Congrats on your weight loss so far! I kind of yearn for the positive attention like you got from your sister from my sisters. They're not bad people by any means, but instead of saying, "hey, you've lost weight! you look good!" they'll instead say, "you're wasting away... eat more!"

    I finally broke down to my younger sister who was saying stuff like that on her vacation to come visit me last month. She's since passed me up in weight and is just as unhappy as I am, but has an excuse for everything. I told her I would not go out to eat or binge eat with her because I'm fed up with being fat and unhealthy. It was a very stressful point in time for both of us, but I think she understands and now she's started working out too.

    Kudos to you for standing up to her! I have developed this "NO EXCUSES" strategy!

    Ahh, that's a really nice thread topic :-) I'm seeing my sisters this weekend and was 25lbs heavier when they last saw me so I'm wondering whether they'll notice. I've still got a long way to go!

    You will have to let meknow how it goes! Good luck!

    That's sweet! Also, watch out...you may spark a bit of competition from the athlete in her :) Congratulations on your progress! I have always been the heavy one in my family, I am looking forward to the day when that's not the case anymore.

    That must have been lovely to hear. I have 2 sisters and we are pretty comptetitive when it comes to weight, which is really not a good thing. When my younger sister started to get a flat belly I have to admit it did give me a little jumpstart to run a bit more myself. It has its upsides and downsides I suppose.

    That was probably the nicest thing she could have done for you! I have two sisters, one I am very close to who is on this journey with me. The other sister has always been the svelt one, never having to work too hard. I happen to work in the same office with her and after having lost 50 lbs. and everybody in the office was commenting on my success, she congratulated me in a text message from downstairs ( I work in an upstairs office) just 50 feet away!!!

    Not surprisingly I was a little hurt. And she has yet to say anything to me!!

    Congratulations on a great relationship with your sister.

    I always admired my sister fitness level at least until the last few years as she quit working at staying fit. I hope she decides to get competetive. haha

    I am so sorry for the way your sister has chosen to deal with your success, but at least you have the support of your other sister. Congrats on the 50 lbs lost, that is awesome!

    Makes me want to go visit the family again. I don't see them that often. They last saw me at 172.. Now 151. :)
    It's important to have good relations with your sister. Feels good to have recognition.

    You are right it always feels good to have some recognition! Just wish people could see or realize all the hard work we do put into this!

    Congrats on your own loss! wAY TO GO!
