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.

I agree too. I have a friend, actually my ex's (father of my children) sister but we are best friends depsite mine and her brothers problems. She's at 200 lbs right now and we have been going to TOPS together for a year now. She is a constant yo-yo..one week lose 3 lbs. next week gain it back. Now that I'm finally taking the weight off and keeping it off I can tell it kind of bothers her. I know she's happy for me but she wishes it was her too. She's all about the "quick fix" always trying some way out there diet that gaurantees you'll lose 12 lbs in one week. They never work!
Anyways, I think all women struggle with issues about their weight and appearance, I guess that's just how God made us. Don't let your friend rain on your parade. You're not doing it for her anyways, you're doing it for you and we're here to support you, forget about what she says!!
Thanks Elizabeth for the remark about wanting to be like me at 170, that put a smile on my face.
Don't worry, you'll be there in no time! You are doing super great with your diet and exercising!! You should be proud.
Hang in there muppet!!!
