this is only my 3rd week of using MFP but have to say the friends i have are all really supportive and motivators i am looking forward to knowing them all better i love this site/app

webdiva1

I, too, am fortunate to have a sweet MFP support network, but I pretty have to shine a little light on K1Teacher. I've gotten nuthin' but positive vibes, encouraging words and great support day in and day out. Thanks, S. You make this journey better for me.

I am going to be cliche and say every one of my friends. Everyone really inspires me, motivates me, makes me laugh, distracts me when I am upset.. they are all on my list for different reasons.. but they make me happy everyday!

There are so many great people here on MFP!! All of them are inspiring in their way. But special shout out to 500lbs2marathon!! He makes me laugh and I love logging in everyday to see what kind of post is gonna get banned!! HEHEHEHE!!!! Seriously Gary is a great guy and to come from where he was to where he is now is SO inspiring!!!

CoryIda

500lbs2marathon - his screenname says it all!

I would have to say PGHSteelerFan, PackerFan, and of course my ultimate supporter, vinniesooner. He got me on here, supported me through the initial start/stop of doing the program, and served as a wonderful role model for me. We ran his first 5K together, and seeing someone you grew up with completely change their lives for the better (and funner) is truly awesome. Being able to join with them in doing the same for yourself is even better. I don't know what I would do without MFP now. It's the first time that losing weight wasn't a chore, that exercise became fun, and that I can see it working for the long haul. I'm so happy, because even though I have a long way to go, I'm excited to have all of these people by my side.

All of my MFPals that I interact with on a regular basis (you know who you are) are very inspiring. From a pure accomplishment standpoint _David_ is very inspiring to me, because he started out heaver than I was and is now a totally ripped athletic machine.

KariQuiteContrary

CoryIda has been an amazing inspiration. She always finds a way to succeed no matter what roadblocks stand in her way

All of my friends on MFP inspire me. They have helped me so much along the way, and its been great seeing them win the daily battles to lose weight. I do have to say CoryIda has been especially inspiring to me. She has lost over 100lbs, which is my goal. She has such commitment, it doesn't matter, rain or shine, depression, busy schedule she is always doing what she needs to do to take care of herself. No excuses. Now I just wish I could follow in her foot steps! Its also been a pleasure to see how far she's come and watch her confidence grow.

miam4nia

A lot of my MFP friends inspire and support me....

but I'd like to specifically give a shout-out to sfoust66, because she is one of the most supportive friends on my friends list and I really appreciate that.
wiglet23 is also awesome in this way!!

and someone else I appreciate in a different way is astovey, she is just such an inspiration for ladies with PCOS!!!

astovey

You are so sweet!!!!!!! My MFP's are the ones that keep me going and keep me in check. I have each and every one of them to thank.

Izable2011

Namaste1983 b/c she is honest and amazing. All of my MFP friends have been an awesome inspiration. I love getting to know all of you so much! I can't wait to get to know you all even more. I think I might have to put a cap on my friends after I hit 100 or else how will I keep up with my favorites! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

risefromruin

I have so many people on here that support me, but a few stick out to be:

kandrews- she is a CONSTANT source of support. Truly a motherlike figure, always there to cheer me on and to keep me motivated.

lori_menorahlover- somebody who I feel very connected with. My comrad in weight loss who has achieved great success. I look up to her.

namaste1983- I seriously look up to this girl. She has accomplished amazing things in the face of hardships and she is a role model in many ways to me.

flasportsfan- for her neverending support. I'm confident that she'll always be there to cheer me on

sweetNsassy2584- never misses a beat. Always there for me and commenting on my status, confirming that yes, people do still care!

16mixingbowls- not only awesome support for weight loss, but for my food intolerances as well.

There are sooo many more people who inspire me, but these people are solid and very essential to my friends list!

liberaltendencies

Risefromruin!

She was one of my very first MFP friends. Her dedication and positive spirit is something I need to keep me motivated!

Somevegansarechubby is another one of my favorite people on here. She's honest and totally committed.

Such inspiring ladies!

JustJenn419

EVERYONE IN MY CCC GROUP!!!
Went through some really tough times recently and they all stuck through it with me and helped pull me out of a slump that I would still be stuck in today if it weren't for them! (There's about 70 of them so I don't think I should list them all, lol).

Some shout outs to PositivePower who is the truly the most positive person I know. Her name truly says it all.

And to luvmyjp, her incredible dedication and determination motivate me in a way I didn't know was possible!

deniseg31

I have too many to name them all because all of my MFP's are fantastic and I em all!

Mr. Nik "Cartern1" - he always has great things or positive reinforcement. He knows just what to say on a daily basis. He's so dedicated with his workouts and food diary. Makes me feel shameful for straying off the right path.

darlinglc - one of my first buddies! Always so sweet and dedicated and always has great things to say as well.

eegoode - my buddy! For hanging on and not giving up on this journey even when times are tough!

cweiler4 - for her hard work and dedication :flowerforyou:

Many more to name. I feel fortunate to have them all be part of my journey.

AngieM76

I love all my MFP friends but the 2 that give me the most inspiration are Carolinamomma3 and bluefox9er. Especially bluefox. He has been with me since day 1 on this site and has helped me so much!

prettybrownround

I hv been on here for close to nine months and I know I would not have made it this far without the support and encouragement of :

Bigcurt61
Christy_Frank
Morningstar
MrsKAddy
Ceelovejay
Shaheerah
up2meclose20


They hv been with me from the beginning and have helped me get through a 1000 emotional rollercoaster. Recently I hv been blessed to encourter another group of people "My FIT and FAB DiVA group" that I plan to form an everlasting bond with. Jycooper, I know how much this lifestyle change means to u and ur drive and dedication to achieve it is inspiring.

PeachyKeene

I would be here all day typing that list! I have some of the greatest MFP friends there is. We joke, flirt, support, encourage, discipline, give great advice, do challenges amongst our group etc.... They are the best. Of course, I have the few that don't say much, but you know how that goes.

I love my MFP friends!!!!!!

I am gonna get fired from my job because I can never get any work done for playing around with them all.


:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: To all my friends. Love you guys!

hazedot

russelljclarke! He's pretty awesome really, he comments on a lot of my status' and is always there to answer my weird and wonderful questions and also to make me laugh.
kudos to him, he's made my first month with MFP the first of many... I'll certainly be continuing!

I made this banner a long time ago, after reading "When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times." I thought it was a great phrase to remind us to love ourselves and others because there is something special in all of us.

When I saw Namaste1983 on the forums, I added her initially based on name alone. Since then, she has become such a huge inspiration to me. Everything she has overcome in her personal life, the amount of weight she has lost, her inextinguishable flame even in the face of adversity is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

When I read her posts and look at her pictures, I have hope that I can make it too. I have hope that I can overcome my past and that I can finally be healthy and happy one day.

Thank you (AND YOUR WORK-SANCTIONED CAPSLOCK) so much!

therealkittymao

I have to say that Shawnamama's before and after the Shred picture inspired me to try the DVD, and I have not been sorry! So thank you for posting your results because they have helped me lose 8 lbs so far!

bltmgray

It's not any one person, but a few are up there. You are all an inspiration to me! WE are all wonderful strong, inspirational people! Yay us!!!!:drinker:

rockstarginaa

All of them

avarielle1215

I also have to say that okrockon has been a huge inspiration. If it weren't for her, I never would have started with the site!
