    Sidesteal and Ninerbuff for men. Ebbykins used to be my female inspiration but she left (sad!). Heidi something is awesome too. And of course Sunshine and Bry_all.
    I miss Ebby. :(
    She was awesome.

    I love all my friends for who they are and how they inspire me. If I have to name a few, here goes.

    kennethmgreen for his insight and sense of humor.
    Marcia36 for her perseverance and tough love.
    MindyBlack and Kelsue35 for their huge workouts that make me want to work harder.
    Crowlover_05 for posting inspiring quotes on my profile almost everyday.
    xoxmalsxox for posing ridiculous stuff on my profile all the time.
    innerfashionista and BrandNewMia for being two of my first heroes on MFP. They taught me a lot by example.
    Juliebean_1027 because she's awesome

    Many on my friends list are, but the one that comes to mind the most is Bjohs. And that is because we are the same age and height. Her reaching her goal helps me realize that I too can reach mine.

    Oh my goodness you guys!!! Thank you SO MUCH for acknowledging me!!!! I am truly blessed to have such amazing, supportive friends. Without you all on my MFP friends list, I wouldn't be here today and have been as successful as I have been. Here's to another 9 months of friendship, support and encouragement! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

    "I am truly amazed and inspired by all of the great things my Pals are doing. I see nothing but FIERCENESS up and down my Pals list. There is so much WINNING going on this holiday season...and I know we all have MORE WINNING ahead of us :) I've said many times, "Do something to inspire others", and I want to let my Pals know that YOU inspire me :)

    and

    "I'm just trying to rock this journey like the rest of you. You guys have no idea how much YOUR great work has helped inspire me to be fierce for as long as I have. Without all of you, I'm pretty sure I'd be having a more difficult fight with the complacency creep.


    ^^^ I wrote this on my wall earlier today and I repeat it here on this thread because it is so true. There are so many forms of inspiration from my pals and I could not single out only a handful of them, let alone one from each gender. Anyone who chooses to fight mental temptations, say NO to excuses, and say YES to I CAN....well, YOU ARE an inspiration...even if you struggle sometimes. We are human and we will struggle. We only fail if we give up and don't learn from our struggles.

    Stay Fierce my Friends!

    I'm honored to be on your friends list. You offer real feedback and encouragement. Let it be known that you qualify as an inspiration to many!

    4Theking is my inspiration. He's a fellow Spiker, has taken himself from a similar build to what I am to a lean mean weightlifting machine.

    On top of all that, he's taken on the role of a coach for me and many others on here.

    He is truly an inspiration!! Keeps me going everyday!

    Oh it's hard to name one, everyone on my friends list is inspirational in their own way. They all provide such a great support and encouragement. Seeing them succeed keeps me going. I don't know if I would've done what i did without them. I am sooo happy I came across this app.

    She was awesome.

    Anyone know why she left?

    She pm'd me and said that she was getting too distracted by the forums and wanted to stay focused, so she moved on

    I feel so special! Thanks for the mentions!

    Mine are:

    GIRLS -
    * LorinaLynn (her abs make me want to cry... in a good way)
    * carolinamommy3 (have you SEEN her progress???)
    * NeuroticVirgo (she is AWESOME because every time she stumbles, she just picks herself up and keeps on going)
    * Karenleona (she hasn't let her age or her health problems get in the way of getting healthy)
    * Namaste83 (she's just generally awesome - her weight loss and her outlook)

    GUYS -
    * GorillaNJ (one of my first MFPals and his workouts make me feel like a wimp)
    * 500lbs2marathon (um.... he's less than half the man he used to be physically, but twice the man in every other respect)
    * BigPelly (that guy is a MACHINE!)

    I'm encouraged and inspired by all of my friends, but those are the ones who have made the most impact on me personally.

    Everybody on my friends list inspires me in one way or another.

    Ditto
  • EdDavenport for the male. He's lost almost 300 pounds and burns 1500+ calories every day. chubby_checkers is my main female inspiration. She has great days and not so great days, just like me, but never lets it get her down. I always see both of their calorie burns and it makes me want to pick it up! All of my very small friend list inspires me, though.

    It's really hard to name one... I love them ALL and i'm thankful to have them seriously.. You can't imagine how many times i wanted to just give up but they help me get back on track and ALWAYS motivate me. Sometimes, I wish people in real life are like my MFP friends.. it's unbelievable how nice and supportive they are and how much they care to see you progress! They are all my inspiration :) & they help me become my own inspiration. =]

    Sorry, can't list just ONE girl and ONE guy... I'm going to have to go with two of each. It's hard not to list more, because there are SO many amazing people here and all of my friends here have inspired or supported me in one way or another, if not many ways!

    Girls:
    SC1572
    Hootsmamma

    Guys:
    StevLL
    ddeans

    If I had to pick just one- girls Sunshine- by far the most inspirational and she is super nice as well

    For guys, geeze that's a toss up- probably would have to go with Sidesteal and Acg.

    acg67, ninerbuff, and uponthisrock... All have a wealth of information to provide. There are many more, but to keep the list limited, I named those who I get most advice from.

    Old-timers: SHBoss1673, formerly known as Banks1850, who has done amazing research on weightloss and fitness: his are the permanent posts that you see in the forums - chock full of good advice and explanations as to why this program works so well and how to make it work best for you.
    Then theres 'Arewethereyet' -- her last post was titled "If you want it fast, it will not last" -- which is true in every way possible!
