How do you handle it when your in-laws start treating you differently (badly)

I'm down almost 80 pounds, but still have 80 pounds to go before my goal. I was shocked over the holidays at how my two sister-in-laws treated me. They're a bit chubby, but not obese, you know? Anyway, I walked in and one starts yelling "STOP, STOP RIGHT NOW. You've lost ENOUGH weight, you can't lose anymore... and so on. It went on and on like that (believe me, I'm not even close to thin) and they harrased me all night. I found myself having to defend why I still had more to lose (I weigh 230 pounds for heaven's sake! They called me a liar when I said I weighed that, and said they weren't going to talk to me anymore!) I have never mentioned anything to anyone about losing weight or being on a diet, so it's not like I'm shoving something in their face... I'm just quietly going about my business of getting smaller. My (MO) Mother in law is getting pretty chilly towards me too. What do I do? I don't want to have these relationships ruined since my husband has a huge family and we get together all the time. Can I do anything to change their attitudes? I know they're probably just jealous, since I was always the REALLY FAT sister in law, but how do I resolve this?
