    Sunshine_88 is my girl-spiration. Mostly because she's such a good person, and a great support system.

    A BIG Thank you, to everyone who has mentioned me..

    Those who know me, my friends list is pretty large, so for me to sit here and rattle off names would be considered spam most likely, so instead I will just say this... Everyone Ive gotten to know via MFP has inspired me and motivated me in one way or another. Either thru their support, or reading about their struggles and victories, they are all inspirational to me..

    There are a few on here that Ive become friends with outside of MFP, and they know who they are, their friendships mean the world to me, and am eternally grateful to them.

    Girls: thecrossfitter- because our workouts are similar; bry_all01 because she mustered up the courage to compete on short notice, which is one of my goals for 2012; snkeller24- another crossfitter who works hard to accomplish new fitness goals

    Guys: glenr79- he's a wealth of knowledge and is pretty badass in general; BIG_Lew- also a wealth of knowledge and super supportive; tharrop- because he is supportive and throws new challenges at me (Hannibal for King, mostly :)

    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.

    Every person who has taken off over 100 lbs... because before I'm at my goal, I'll have done the same! woo hoo!

    Also, every person on here who is dealing with fibro... because it does make it more complicated.

    My DH inspires me... JavaJunki ... he deals with me in real life every day, and he makes my breakfasts, packs my lunches, and helps me figure out dinner.. THEN HE DOES THE DISHES!!!! and, he's losing weight, too!

    He rocks. Seriously!

    I was mentally flipping through my MFP memory bank and it is just too hard to pick one! <- (Sounds like the cheese-ball answer, but it's true!) In one way or another each and every one of my friends on here have been a burst of motivation, plethora of quality knowledge and most of all inspirational in their own way.

    All of my friends current and some gone have been my insperation since the day I came here. Mleb2005 my daughter is special for of course the fact that she is my daughter and she is also the one who brought me here. Besides that all of my friends have celebrated with my accomplishments and made me dig deep in my failures. So you see all have been my insperation!

    My Uncle shack1157 and My Aunt Queen_Christine are both my inspiration! He has lost over 100 lbs and she has lost almost 55 lbs... They are the reason I got started on MFP and I am loving every minute of this journey on here!

    My goodness I am continually inspired daily by so many. My peeps keep me on track, keep my crazy down and are just always there to catch me when I stumble and incourage me when I have had it. I can not possibly name everyone that has inspired me, my entire list would be here, however there are a couple of peeps that have just really been there through thick and thin and have become good friends. They also have all lost large amounts of weight, some have achived their weight goals and working on fitness goals, some are still on their journey but all have also had amazing body transformations and I stalk their diaries more than I care to admit...cause I am just trying do as well as them.

    Tross0924 - He is always there for encouragement, I try so hard to keep up with his crazy workouts and I always just fall short, but I keep tryin. He has lost so much weight and I am in awe of his consitancy and dedication. He also has a soft way of pushing me harder than I would ever push myself and I will be eternally grateful for that because I have done things I never thought possible for me because of his constant belief in my abilities. Also one of the kindest people I have ever known and I soooo want his confidence.

    GorillaNJ - You my dear put up with my crazy, keep me grounded daily and just calm me. He does crazy *kitten* workouts, I want to run as fast as he does and I love that we seem to struggle together with many of the same things. He has lost a ton of weight and continues to strive towards greatness and never seems to get discouraged. Also kicks my *kitten* if I need him too..he's good like that, but always sweet even if he pretends not to be.

    Gailosborne - I want to be just like her. She is a shining example of someone that has achieved her goal and has mainitained for almost 2 years. She always eats healthy...ALWAYS...her workouts are amazing and plentiful. She is smart, sweet, kind and giving and is there always for me. She has picked me up when I was about ready to fall at least 50 times. She is what I aspire to be. She can also do pull ups unassisted and I just can't YET...lol

    4milesat40 - She continually has me in awe. I have seen her from the beginning and she has just surpased me with weight lost in a much quicker time. She NEVER cheats..EVER...I am so not that good. She decides she is going to do something and just does it..period..its done. She is sweet and kind, is always there and totally non-judgemental.

    rgoodearl - He is just encouraging and always has amazing cardio workouts. Gets up crazy early in the morning to do them every single day...this makes my jaw drop. I always look forward to seeing how many calories he has burned, because it is always crazy high.

    Carolinamama3 - ok don't know her well but I am in awe of her huge weight loss and workouts...wow...and she has lost so much is such a short time.

    Wow..sorry long winded and my words do not even cover what I wanted to say. Sorry, I have so many more to name...so many amazing wonderful people.

    wow, I am seriously going to have a long list going here....

    some people measure inspiration through the # of lbs someone loses, but I look at it as, yes, ok, the pounds could be part of it, but also, there are so many people on here that have AMAZING attitudes. People who have such dedication...people who also are human and slip up from time to time, but they get it, they get that its ok to mess up once in a while as long as you are fully prepared to get back at it! I would definately not still be here if it weren't for all the supportive friends I have...

    I am going to thow out a few names, but the list is really endless for me...

    gatorgirl7-she is my bff, always will be (even though she ditched me after high school and moved from Connecticut to FLORIDA! lol)...she got me on this site, and she looks fab.u.lous!!!! She is a runner, and got me into running (well, a lil bit)...she also got me to sign up for the ING Hartford Marathon back in October (****5K**** I am not a marathon runner lol)

    crazyellybean-we met here on MFP (back in August I think? or July?) and she has been with me through a bunch of group challenges...she has an amazing attitude, and always pushes people to be the best they can be...

    angievaughn-she is one of the first friends I made here on MFP, and she is just so amazingly dedicated and with 5 (? I think it is 5? or maybe 4?) kids, I don't know how she finds the time! heck, I don't know how anyone who has kids can do it! mad props to all of you out there with kids!! But seriously, Angie has been so supportive of me...

    rmartin72-he is my partner for the current group challenge I am in, and he blasts out these amazing workouts day in and day out...I don't know how he has the energy to keep going!!!

    There are so many other people on here that inspire me, I could go on for days :)

    While a ton of folks on here have been an inspiration in one aspect or another, by far the one MFP woman who as been a complete and total inspiration to me on here is cbug75. Good times and bad, up or down, focused or not, she's been there to either encourage me when needed or cuss me out as required. I love her for that.

    For the guys, hands down DJackson230. He's is the one guy with the longest MFP consistency record that I have on my list. The man gets the job done EVERY day and never fails to give a word of encouragement. Great example of a wise sage and good friend.
