Ah fuck it
I feel for you. I've recently lost three stone, although I was never ever anywhere near what your sister and mum weigh wasn't happy. The bare facts of the matter are, if you consume less calories than you need to maintain your weight, you will lose weight. This assumes you have no underlying medical problem preventing you from losing weight. Even people who can't exercise can do this with some medical supervision.
When people say they can't lose weight but haven't actually tried to follow the idea of less calories in than you need, it annoys me greatly. And when they are killing themselves in the meantime ... argh. But like you I don't mention this because it seems a taboo subject. The truth hurts, and not everyone is strong enough to take it. They'd rather kill themselves instead.
