@MrM27 Because he's the one who taught me all about moderation - I asked for help and he was literally the only one who took the time to talk my issue out and help me figure out a solution. I credit many of my 82 pounds lost to him.
@arditarose Because she's really strong and determined and helpful
@lemurcat12 Always has sound, sensible advice
@diannethegeek She's so incredibly helpful to everyone.
@MamaPeach30 She's just an amazing person in general
@Liftng4Lis She's awesome and funny and a good friend
@cwolfman13 Also really helpful and funny and sensible
Aw, thanks! I don't know if I'm helpful so much as just here all the time.

The forums certainly aren't perfect but many informative posters helped steer me away from stressing over my carbs not being "low enough" and "avoiding temptation". I've had a lot more fun at family events and such thanks to you guys.
I don't think she's been mentioned, but I'd like to add @ana30670 -
Has anyone mentioned SLLrunner. I probably missed it.0

but I started lurking the forums and I learned so much. No more nasty healthy choice for me! So I completely agree to the list!
I have noticed that a lot of the "meanies" are here.
This is quite a different thread than one happening in the Motivation and Support forum right now.
For my part, again, you have given me the ability to roll my eyes and judge people who say dumb things IRL by imparting your knowledge. And judging people silently is one of my favorite things to do.
I remember the first time someone posted I was mean...my response was "finally...yes!!!!!!!!!!"0 -

So true! I was all excited that I could tell a couple people on this list that I received my first warning. Felt like I was starting to belong. 0 -

I enjoy reading everyone's posts, I find a lot even entertaining at times! I find myself laughing at some(in a good way). I also lurked here back in 2013, but never got up the nerve to post. I think that actually posting and reading will help keep me on track this time!
@MrM27

Those are people I always look out for in posts! They know what they are talking about! There are more I'm sure. But those are the ones I can think of right now.
Aw, thanks
You're welcome. Your story is very inspiring. I started out low carb, but between you and others I finally got the nerve to eat what I like, and I found it working just as good and now I can eat spaghetti! LOL 0 -
About half way through my weight loss I decided to get on the forums, I started out doing 1200 cals or lower, couldn't take it anymore, so started reading on the forums about TDEE, using food scale, etc......and then I got interested in lifting and read more listen to what the "old timers" were saying, etc.
So I want to thank you all!! 0 -

I'm new (only started in January) but I know the success I've had so far is because of ALL the "meanies" listed here! Once I started lurking in the forums and reading all the "blunt" answers correcting so many of the wrong ideas I was still caring around in my head from (way too many) years of dieting, it all became simple. So, just one more thank you to everyone listed already and a few I'm sure I've yet to encounter *hugs*0
