    I agree with the OP...I will add @ndj1979 just because I like his brand of no non-sense posting...and I have learned from all mentioned above as well...still learning...

    LOL, I think you are the only one…

    careful, you might get in trouble admitting that...

    I beg to differ! There have been countless times you dragged me off the ground, even if you didn't know it was happening.

    @Wheelhouse15 is also very helpful…

    I think the forums have already melted his brain though ...

    I am cosigning for everyone that I took note of when I was lurking and said to myself... hey! That person knows their stuff. Listen to them, not that other noise.

    Many who have already been mentioned got me going ad have kept me on the path. I was going to say straight and narrow, but I learned early on that you need to take some side trips in order to maintain your sanity. So many along with many on my friends list have kept me going. I would say @ndj1979 and @lemurcat most of all.

    Cosign! I'm getting boring now, right?

    It's sad that a lot of the main forum activity isn't taken up predominantly by posts from all of these posters listed here. There'd be a lot more factual, useful information available.

    Will wait until your next cut when you are weak and feeble and then give you a damn good thrashing.

    Earlnabby, you are another one of those people on here that whenever I saw a post of yours I took the time to read it because I like what you have to say. :)

    I have learned so much from all the people here, you have saved me from restriction diets and eating only 1200 calories. I would add @hornsby.

    Ha!

    I am slowly coming out of this cut and feeling better for it..

    amazing what a re-feed and increasing calories by 250 a day will do …

    @lolbroscience is the Godfather of the ice cream cleanse diet:).

    That then lead to the creation of the ice cream & gelato group.

    QFT. Another sensible poster, with experience backing up what she says.

    *blushes* thx but I have to say those listed first and later is who I learned it from...and continue to learn from others as well.

    @LolBroScience helped me tremendously. He's even set my calories and macros, gives advice on form and has no problem explaining things like they are.

    Co-signing pretty much all of the above. I've been here since January, and while I'm only 1/3 of my way to goal, there is no way I would have lost the 62lbs I have so far without the people on my friend list, and the no-nonsense straight talkers on the forums.

    For me, off the top of my head, the posters that while I may not interact with, I certainly do listen to, and credit with some of my success - even though they haven't known it until now, are:-

    @MrM27
    @rabbitjb
    @ndj1979
    @mamapeach910
    @Liftng4Lis
    @lemurcat12

    And thanks, Rabbit, for starting this thread and reminding me that there are some people I need to acknowledge.
