I feel a lack of support from the people I thought were impressed but they failed to show it if they are. Its like they want me to start getting out of shape like them. I'm feeling better just walking around. Being the lion in the room now. The basic things in life I enjoy better now, plus I get a lot of attention. & the one who got me started started giving me the cold shoulder lately. I had. A best friend who's been lifting for awhile. I recently started some years ago
. I sent him a picture of my progress & he said nothing no reply. Is this normal

    Get fit for yourself. Get validation from yourself. Of course your family will be happy for your successes, as long as you don't rub it in their face (considering they are unhealthy) and expect them to make the same changes as you.

    That's too bad about your friend. Maybe he just needs a bit of space for a while. Not giving you an explanation for his distance is pretty rude of him, but not everyone is graceful dealing with friendships.

    people don't like being compared and thought of as 'lesser'. some people have medical reasons for being out of shape. you could try to be understanding

    Sounds like jealousy. And just because he's your friend, doesn't mean he has to comment, and like your Facebook pictures.

    Then to top it off I called him last week he said he would call back, well, he didn't call & its going on a weeek & some change. Then on fb he saw my picture of me doing cable flies with my shirt off. He said nothing obly to see him commenting & liking one of his other friends photo. That's what friends are for
