Today, I got on a bicycle for the 1st time in over 15 years thanks to an MFP friend. She and I weigh about the same and she has been talking about riding a bike and I just never thought it was possible at my weight. BUT I TRIED it today, because of her. The positive effects I have had from this site are truly amazing and I wanted to share who inspires me EVERY day.
Shari - she's lost 100 lbs !! She supports me and is always in my corner. She amazes me with her good heart and determined spirit.
Marni - she's lost 94 lbs AND went SKY DIVING for the 1st time this year (um, I WON'T be inspired to do that) but quite an accomplishment for her!
Karen - she's lost 75 lbs, is at her goal and is going on a cruise soon...I'm so happy for her.
Ray - he's lost 153+ lbs and RAN A HALF MARATHON, one of his many fulfilled goals. This guy has it down to a science and is closing in on his weight loss goal. He's SUPERMAN.
Jill - she's lost 500 lbs in her lifetime. She's keeping it off and has for a while. There isn't anything she won't try and she helps me whenever she can. I owe a lot to her.
And last BUT NOT LEAST Zara - she's lost over 90 lbs and she rides a bike and walks and keeps me on my toes daily! I could not do this without her encouragement and of course she makes me laugh.
Do you have someone on MFP that has impacted your life positively? Let me hear your story...P.S. Make sure you let THEM know because we all need that positive reinforcement!
Thank you MFP friends!
