We have a lot in common! I am 5'4" 1/2 and my starting weight a week and a half ago was 195. (now at 188.) I also have a friend who is quite larger than me, she does support me, but I know she would also like to be in my shoes right now. I don't think you are being unreasonable, but we all think the grass is greener on the other side. I myself, would like to be Susie right now and weigh 170. Go Susie! But I agree that no matter where we would "like to be" that we need to support each other in this battle of the buldge.
