Ht. 5'6", Wt. 158 - ok so I gained 3 lbs back during the holiday, but I wasn't too upset b/c i told myself that i can burn it off. However, my family basically my aunts and cousins pointed out that I was overweight and told my mom i seriously need to lose weight or i'll never get a boyfriend!! Now my mom is making me sign up at this new gym. I'm not really sure i want to got to a gym, I have workout videos at home and I diet. But not only does my mom want me to go to the gym,, now she wants me to go on this crazy diet because of what my aunts said. What can I do to tell her I am pacing myself and losing weight my own way without her getting upset? Any advice would be great

Thanks for the great advice yesterday. Anyway, make a deal with her that if lose a set amount of weight by a certain date, you can continue to do it your way, and if you don't you'll try hers. make sure she sees you working hard toward your goal. If you can prove you're serious about losing weight then she'll understand.
