Let's give it up for the people that really make a difference in our daily lives. Who pushes you-who motivates you to work harder and challenge yourself-and why is that one person able to make a difference?

  • There are several that have been a HUGE support to me but the one that has stuck with me thru thick and thin and has turned into a true friend even tho we live on separate continents - the one and only Aly_Baba. :heart: She is the one that keeps me coming back EVERYDAY and I owe her SO much! :drinker: I only can hope that I'm supporting her as she has supported me. Love you girl!!!! :flowerforyou:

    It's not just the people it's the information. I have learned a lot here and continue to learn. It's new ways of doing things that keep me interested and keeps the process fresh.

    I have a really cool friends list. Some have been amazingly successful, some in mid "journey" and some just starting. Some I can help and some help me, mostly the latter.

    I have more than one for sure, and they're AMAZING! I ran my first 5K yesterday and at times I wanted to stop, I pictured them cheering for me on the sidelines. I wish I could meet them one day because they are my true motivation!

    I have a special friend that is like a magic mirror. He says all the things I need to hear and helps me see "me", not the flaws that I focus on. His belief in me is amazing and makes me work harder at pushing myself to do more than just my best.

    erxkeel- your amazing. Thank you for all you do and all you are!

    Crystal_Pistol is my MFP BFF. If not for her, I think I would've given up a long time ago. She lets me bounce stuff off her and tells me if it's a good idea or if I'm bleeping crazy for thinking it! <3

    I have a lot of MFP support and all of them are great for different reasons:

    Kimbyknits- she introduced me to this site and keeps me motivated to stay with it. I wouldn't be here if not for her.

    Christine021467 - is awesome - she is my local running partner- she is an endless supporter and I love that when we race, we may not always race together, but I have to say there is nothing better than our big hugs at the end of the race- especially when we both have personal bests.

    Topsking10 - despite having over 100 friends, he takes the time to comment on every post and offer encouraging words.

    Effarar13 - he challenges me to want to do more

    I have many other supporters on here, and I just love to see the progress that so many have made. I am lucky to have such wonderful friends who keep me going.

    Oh my goodness, I have a few! I have Binky, Charly and Pghsteelerfan who are there every day, supporting me, encouraging me, and just being my "girlfriends with great diaries" each and every day. And Amy and Jedwards who are my best friends that I can tell anything to (and usually do). I am blessed with a great group, and many I am just getting to know, but from the beginning, these 5 have been my daily supporters.

    Hard to single out one individual friend.

    Each has their own type of support.

    Some by cheering me on, some by beating me up, others by the photos of their progress, and a few just by their upbeat attitude or snarky comments to keep me smiling.

    To be honest, I'm a jerk, if someone on my friends list doesn't have something to offer, they really don't belong there.
