I'll greentext for readability.

>Family jokes around, doesn't want to participate/help.

I've only started whittling down my weight (Not even at 10 lbs yet, but only halfway through the month), and past drama aside, I don't want any of my family to eat themselves into disability, but nobody besides me mum seems to care, and even she won't listen to any real dietary advice.
You guys have any experience getting your families to join you? I don't want my sister entering high school a fat chick/fucking up her skin with stretchmarks like I did.

My whole family is family overweight, and so was my brother and I. When we lost weight we offered to help them but they didn't listen.
Sorry I can't help but I'm curious too.

My parents make so many excuses that i just avoid the topic of health all together.
My mother was able to convince herself that she shouldn't exercise because it makes her heart beat too quickly and gets her winded.
What's worse is my mom has Type 1 diabetes (juvenile) and refuses to eat healthy or at least try to take care of herself. But is constantly saying how she's going to start dieting.
My dad is a lazy, weak willed pos.
I have completely given up on them.

try to motivate them as best as u can, but remember just because your family is your family it doesn´t make it automatically good people or determined. Some people lose their determination within diabetic fatass years, some in their childhood and some never...
i think some people may never come out of their accommodativeness

OP,
You can't change anyone, only they can. I suggest you read the parable called "The Bridge". It's a good one to read if you want to help other people. Otherwise, you end up hating yourself for not saving others. Realize that others are not your responsibility. You are only responsible for you. What they do is on them. Hopefully your sister can see how shitty eating will affect her when she sees her dad injecting insulin. Just be there for her and your mom when they both finally see that this isn't what they want and support them. They may be gung-ho about it at first when they finally take that step, but there will be a lot of resistance. All you can be is supportive, but they have to make that choice.

How fat do you have to be to develop diabetes? Sometimes I feel like I have some of the symptoms but I'm only 184lbs

I think it can happen at any weight if you treat your system like shit, but the risk increases the longer and fatter you are.
