Nice post! You must be an awesome IRL as well as MFP friend. When I want a smile, one related to staying healthy, I revisit the MFP Fitspiration thread. Thank you so much for that one, too.0

Seeing women supporting each other.
Seeing everyone supporting each other.
Seeing beautiful profile picture of abs!0 -
I love seeing before/after photos where the person looked like a hot mess before and was not smiling or apparently even grooming themselves at all...and now they look awesome and happy and well turned out.
When I first came to MFP, I didn't get that. I was like "WTF!?" because even when I weighed 307 lb (my heaviest) I was always getting dressed up, doing my hair/makeup, and wearing matchy outfits and stuff. I thought people with before and afters like I describe above were being ridiculous -- basically saying there's no point in being happy or making oneself look presentable until you lose loads of weight.
Then it finally dawned on me...a lot of those people were in that bad of a place mentally. It wasn't lack of hygiene or purposely looking rough around the edges as a big eff you to society. And they have come that far, to being happy and loving themselves enough to care and brush their hair and maybe try some new styles. That makes me so happy for them!!0 -
I've been here for a while now... many of you may recognize me. I've seen a lot here, and have made some great friendships, and I realize that while there may be a few things that peeve me, there are plenty more that give me mini smiles...
1. People who have attained goal! HELL YEAH!
2. "Before and After" pics... Holy crap, people are changing shape!
3. Yummy diaries... People are meeting goals and eating GOOD food.
4. Sweaty gym pics... ones that scream "I just busted my *kitten*, i feel so ALIVE, and here's proof,"! I love workout pics. I love seeing how people are working hard, and getting their sweat on.
5. FUN and adventure! I see how people are enjoying an active, and sometimes adventure filled life! It makes me wanna get out there and do the same!
These are just some of the things that i come across on a daily basis that give me smiles.
What are some of yours?
Your thread makes me smile! Thanks!!0 -
I get so sad and frustrated when I see
"oh I binged today what to do"
I don't know what to eat when we go out
I don't have any XXX food
I had pizza and now I'm sad.
Every time I see those post titles I think of the Geico Drill Sergeant Therpaist commercial.

I like seeing people's tickers.
No... not THOSE kinds. hehe
I love seeing...
138 pounds to go... WOW, you are here! You are starting! You can do this!
108 pounds LOST... OMG, you lost a person! The dedication, the drive, the focus it has taken. You've changed your life!
3 pounds to go.... KEEP GOING... the last pounds are the hardest, but it's possible!
0 pounds to go! YEAH BABY!
I don't care if you are just starting out, or are almost at goal.... You are here! You are trying! You are working to get to where you want to be... and I love that to bits. Sometimes, I read the forums, just to look at the tickers.

You just can't even make a bad post, can you?
I love this.
I just find that we find it so easy to complain about all the things that make us mad, or tick us off.. but how often do we stop to think about the things that bring us joy?
My 6yr old daughter was in a foul mood this morning... and by the time we got out the door... the whole family was in a foul mood. Misery is contagious.
But so is joy.
Sometimes... I like to try and spread a smile, instead of a frown.
but sadly... smile threads aren't as popular. :-P
:happy: :happy: :happy:
We need more happy Threads!!!!
Spreading the smiles, and laughter is contagious!!!
Making this my 100th post!!!
Love You Sandy, thank you for this!!!!:flowerforyou: 0 -

This thread has to be one of the best ever I've read on MFP! Thanks for posting
-NSV threads
- Before/After of those who have lost 100 plus pounds
-Before/After of those who have lost 20 or less pounds
-Before/After of everything in between because it motivates me! I log in and read success stories every day, to keep myself going, to say look, they did it, you can do it.

I'm just here to watch that cat fight for his broccoli.
(Oh, OK, this is an awesome thread too.)0 -
I love seeing my "friends" rocking their workouts, and meeting their goals.0

I'd say this thread and all the positive it's brought about!
Before/After pictures
NSV's
Scale Victories too
People getting it done (that'd be my FL and everyone "beast" mode at the gym)
Knowing that "Beast Mode" isn't a bad thing0 -

Diary (Gosh I always get good ideas from "spying" on others ^_^ )
Inspiration (Seeing others do things makes me want to try it out)

figured I'd bump because the pet peeves thread is 3x bigger. hehe
Are we, as a community, 3x more miserable than we are happy?
Another smile source for me is reading a status that talks about people being more active with their kids.
I love that getting healthy is often tied to having better quality time moments with your kids!0 -
Hi there - love the thread - this is just such a positive place for all of the above reasons...
Now if I could figure out how to post a picture to this infernal thing, I'd prove how awesome you all are...0
