wow.... you should tell your family to eff off. Seriously.
You can loose weight, but only do it for you. Not for them. You won't loose weight if you're trying to do it for them. Yea, anyways... there's a lot of good advice here on this forum for you. Cultivate away. And if you have questions, just ask. We're a pretty knowledgable bunch overall.

First of all, welcome! Hope you stay around the boards. Secondly, you sound like your family is very un-supportive, and that's definitely not the kind of atmosphere you want to be around for self-betterment, (unless you work well with negative feedback, I know I do.)
Anyway, the first thing you ought to do is sit them down and tell them how you really feel, and that's it bothering you, which I assume it is.
Anyway, any questions you have about weight loss or anything involved, feel free to ask any of us! As xstatic said, we're a pretty knowledgeable group.

Man, I'm a mom and just can't even imagine saying those kinds of things to a kid.
Anyway, welcome! -- Ditto the others, ignore the nasty remarks, and do it for you. Jump on the pad and just have fun - you'll be amazed at how good you start to feel!

So, why don't you just go play more tennis?
I have children and I don't want them to get overweight, but I don't think I would ever call names or be rude like that. I would probably encourage them to play more DDR with me, or go jogging with me, or I could play tennis with them, or whatever they liked to do. I am pretty active and I don't mind the activity (just not dancing).

I totally agree with the rest of the posters, lose weight for yourself, because you WANT to feel healthy. If you try to please other people, well, it's impossible to please everyone. I've tried to do it, it was impossible and I came out of it exhausted, trust me.
