A public acknowledgment and thanks for people who helped me succeed at this malarkey

There's a load of you sane, wonderful people who give your time and common sense. Some I just read, others I interact with but all I learn from
So even though I will forget a load of people, and I would really like others to acknowledge those who have helped them do this, here's my paltry shout out and thanks to
@Liftng4Lis ..lady you rock!
@sijomial ...love your advice and warmth
@mrm27...dude you know your stuff and you ain't afraid to say it
@tincanonastring ...peep cleanse makes me roar
@SideSteel , @Sarauk2sf ...goes without saying almostI don't post very often but I read all the posts I'm physically able to get through and I typically take the most away from @lemurcat12 posts
so thank you for taking the time to respond thoughtfully and honestly in threads, I learn a lot from you!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...
All of the above. I un-learnt a lot of stuff through forums. So a big round of applause to all of them. Insert gif here.

I enjoy reading everyone's posts, I find a lot even entertaining at times! I find myself laughing at some(in a good way). I also lurked here back in 2013, but never got up the nerve to post. I think that actually posting and reading will help keep me on track this time!

Those are people I always look out for in posts! They know what they are talking about! There are more I'm sure. But those are the ones I can think of right now.
Aw, thanks

I was so surprised to see my name, here! I'm such a relative newbie to weight loss in general, and to MFP in particular. Thank you, Orphia!

Awww. Thank you! And right back atcha. You're awesome too.0 -
So I came into this thread to post my list of people who had helped me and then I got side tracked with MrM.
I know I don't post a lot and I haven't interacted a lot with the people on my list, but I have learned a great deal from lurking and reading many of your posts.

I know we've derailed a little bit, so I wanted to bring it back a bit.
I want to say, there's several users who aren't even on my FL, and some now that are (because I'm a chicken when adding people and shy about it for some reason) that offered me heartfelt congratulations and well wishes when I had my baby in January. It really gave me "dem feels". I felt so accepted and cared for, I can't even express it properly. It really made me feel that there are some truly great and wonderful people on MFP. I really appreciate that, and I think it's something that will stick with me forever. It's a shame those messages get lost in the inbox feature of MFP.
So, thank you, MFP community. Thank you for being caring (in all forms). Truly, it's wonderful to be a part of.0 -
There's certainly some great, knowledgeable, successful, and even blunt members on MFP, all of which I've gleaned some information from and highly respect. Some of them being on this list
For me, those people have been
@trogalicious
@MrM27
@MB_Positif
@usmcmp
@Sarauk2sf
There's more that I'm probably forgetting, as there's so many stand up folks, I'm not sure I could name them all.
Thank you @Ninkyou
I'll have to add to this later!!!

Well, she is the cutest baby ever (outside of my niece), and you're obviously an excellent mom to her and your other one. You deserve all the love.0 -

Gratitudes. I enjoy engaging and doing what I can on the boards. Eventually there will be people who learned from some of us, who will carry on and help others too.ceoverturf wrote: »Ditto to all the names mentioned and for that matter most of the people posting in this thread who haven't already been named.

Just stroll my friends list, and you'll see a plethora of awesome people - some of the best MFP had to offer to my husband, sister, and best friend. They all offer me different bits I need from a good throat punch, hugs, kind words, and solid advice when I'm floundering. When I'm ready to begin my lifting adventure I have the best of best to guide me.
If you're awesome and not on it, well then fix that ish. 0 -
I don't disagree. But I bet I run a faster 40 yard dash though.tincanonastring wrote: »@ninerbuff yes you are up there in people I've learned from, but I'm still smarting from you moderating me in the first few weeks for picking someone up on lack of white space

There are so many of you guys that I have learned so much from recently. I may have been here on and off since 2012, but I didn't know nor understand half of what I do now since lurking and reading posts from certain posters, who may or may not all be named on this thread. I appreciate the no bs, cut & dry, and blunt honesty. So, to all of you, a sincere and heartfelt "Thank You"!0

Hey guys, this discussion was begun with the intent to thank folks who have helped us along our way. (YAY) It has turned into something else (BOOO), and will be removed for a bit while we take a look.

We have cleaned up and moved this discussion back. I am respectfully requesting if people have criticism of specific members or moderation to message me but please let's keep this discussion a positive one about the folks who have helped you in the forums.0 -

I was looking for this thread earlier, I am glad it is back so I too can pay homage to those who have helped along the way...
As someone who originally just lurked and learned, many of the people who helped me out have already been named but a couple may not have been or need extra props... some of these people don't venture into the forums anymore so not sure if they will see the props or not.
