Kimberly,

This is a wonderful idea. While I don't have any family members who need to lose weight (right now), I have found that being open about my journey to lose weight has been helpful. Normally, I am a very private person when it comes to issues of weight which have been previously tied to disappointment and partial self-loathing. Letting people around me know has lifted a burden from my shoulders. I can only imagine the support and motivation of family members who do this together.

Keep up the good work.
