Mia - my family is just the opposite. My mother's side is the loud group and my father's side is extremely quiet - they keep to themselves. I am extremely close with everyone on my mother's side! I guess b/c I can be quite loud...lol.

Both sides of my family are known to be big after having children...most the women in my family are big women - not real big but overweight. I am one of those women now after having three children but I am NO LONGER blaming that for my obesity. I am working on this as my older sister is and we are having a blast talking each other through our hard times.

I love watching the family shows...the support is heartwarming. The loud italian family is so funny....did anyone happen to notice what one of the Italian women said as they made the hike up the mountain. She said "I am breathing like an obscene phone call." My husband and I just cracked up...lol. Having a sense of humor through this will push them through.
I wish all of them the best - as if you lose the weight - you have won!
