Why did nobody warn me that doing WW with my sister was a bad idea!?!

We joined in Jan 08 I lost all my weight but she didn't and now she's not talking to me

I've tried to encourage rather than nag but once I'd lost about half a stone more than her she just went off the rails and has now put it all plus more back on and I can't talk to her without her turning it into an arguement about her weight (when I'm not the one who keeps bringing it up)

I admit last week I popped round on my way back from WW to give her the new plan to flick through so she could start again in Jan (as she had said she wanted to start again in Jan)

I want to help and encourage her but she won't speak to me now

It's so fustrating to see her so unhappy about her weight when she could sort it out if she wanted to. She wants to BUT won't says her life is too busy etc (it's not she just won't make the time)

Stop talking to her about it! Her decision, and she won;t want you coming over all smug about your weight loss (I'm sure you aren't, but that's how she will see it).

I've tried especially hard not to rub it in, I've been encouraging when she showed signs of wanting encouragement like when she asked if she could come with me to aquafit so i rang her on the day to see if she was still coming only to get a mouthful about how busy she is and has only just started cooking dinner and it won't be ready until 9pm so she obviously can't come....

She's going to be my bridesmaid but wants to be thinner for my wedding, we're choosing the dresses in the next few months and I'm worried she is going to be miserable because of her weight. I just want her to be happy and I want to help her if i can.

We also don't have a great deal in common tbh, we've always been chalk and cheese. I'm a mum to two little girls, she's a step mum to two teenage boys, she's a hairdresser and always makes an effort with her appearance, I'm a childminder and look a scruff even though I try to look nice I'm just not good at making myself look good. She goes out a lot, I stay in and so on......

The weightloss was the first thing we've done together for ages, a reason to see each other and phone each other.
