Out of your friends on MFP, who keeps you constantly motivated, and offers the most support? Show them love :heart:

I love alllll my friends, but I talk to Alex (alexandra_anne) and Gary (500lbs2marathon) every single day, and they keep me going! :flowerforyou:

    Gosh, I have several. I can name four right off the top of my head who stand out as major motivators for me to work out hard and push myself. I'm just too lazy to give them credit. I'd tell them who they are though if I were talking to them.

    I refuse to pick just one because I'm spineless, but Julie, Kim, Becky, and Anna are the 4 that I feel closest to. I am extremely thankful for several others, as well.

    Lots of folks are helpful, inspirational, and motivational, and I'm thankful for every one of them. That said, though: ceeshelman is my HERO(ine).

    While I have many great friends here, I can't really say that any of them have been my backbone...but only because I haven't needed any extra motivation yet. All my motivation has really been from within. Now if you ask me a year or even six months from now, after I've had moments of weakness and my friends have picked me back up and put me back on track, then I'll tell you which ones were my backbone. lol

    springtrio is my inspiration though...

    Tracy (SuperTracyLynn) gives me so much motivation, love, support, encouragement, kindness, shoulder, texts, etc. Everyone on my friends list is that way and they ALL rock, but she's ultra super duper speshal to my heart.

    Everyone I interact with is very supportive. But if I had to choose a person for the backbone, it would be four people; Bry, Von, Scott and Mindy.

    You, Von, Ted and Killagb would be close behind Tracy. I love you, bro!!!

    Hollie and Qarol, hands down are my people who keep me coming back. I love Bry, kourt, contrarian, but Hollie and Q are people who I have talked to outside of MFP and who really keep me going. I love all my friends though.

    Two things:

    Where the fvck is Taso?! This is sadness.


    Also, I have to say that ilookthetype has been a huge motivator for me - she's the reason I fell in love with the forums, and she makes me think that we're all gonna be okay. You know what I mean?
