Your MFP friend everyone needs....

Mine would have to be BigPelly8, Brian.

He is always there for me.

I know if I post something that he will respond and 9 times outta 10, he makes me laugh my *kitten* off and forget why I'm upset or sad in the first place.

He has lost an amazing amount of weight, and did it by eating healthy and busting his *kitten*!!

He is a true blue and I'm proud to have him as my friend...

You're a ROCKSTAR, Bri!!

**edited because I cannot freakin' spell**

This is hard, because I have so many amazing friends on my list, I really don't want to set on apart from another, but I am going to select two, and I hope they are not mad for me saying so.
1)Fesse--everyone that knows Fesse knows that she is am amazing, caring, generous downright greatest friend to have. Always there with a song or vid to brighten your day. The extra, quirky challenges like celebrity photo or animal photo to keep things fun. She is imaginative, she is creative, and a great person to have on your side when you are having a rough patch.
2)LoveDLady--Another amazing person that inspires me everyday. Always comments on everything I do, and her journey has been an inspiration to me from the day we became friends. She gives me the determination to push through, because she has.

super hard to do bc like u said... everyone is amazing! but the one that helps me the most and give me HONEST feedback, even when i have a shytty day he will say... ummm... mt dew?? really! lol. is reepobob!

my best female friend who i have shared SOOO much with and absolutely adore with a passion, KaleighDawn13! we are so very much alike, despite our age differences and shes gone thru so much at such a young age. but she is amazing in every single aspect of the word!

but again, i love ALL my friends!

For sure, my friend Skinnywithin.

Thank you Skinny for everything do for me. You are a wonderful friend, funny, supportive, and many other things. I am so glad you are my friend. Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!


ETA: Although I must say, I do have a lot of great friends on MFP.

There are too many to list, like you said, but as far as "the Struggle", and someone who motivates me by doing, and who I see simply as a warrior, is tjradd73. I don't think failure is a word in her vocabulary, and she is just always so consistent and locked in to what she is doing. She is fierce and I'm so glad to know her and have her in my corner. She'll probably kill me for writing this, but she should be praised for how awesome she is, and how awesome she has done! She's also a future member of the 100lb club and anyone who can do that is a total bad *kitten* in my book!! Thanks Tara....Big hugs to you and lots of love for helping me more than you could ever realize!!

also need to point out that anubis and fearandloathing are regularly the MFPal who makes my day!!! They both crack me UP

Oh so many!

Chrissy - kind of a smartass, supportive, cute, determined!
DarkAngel - love this ones attitude and honesty and smoldering thing
Fesse- so involved, her humour and success are motivating.
BigBeaver-this guy keeps me smiling and coming back for more

Aww, Kristie, thats so sweet of you! You rock!

I've got soooo many cool supportive peeps, but if I had to pick one, it would be my bestie IamRoj. Always there with a bit of humor to keep it light, but she's pushing herself to be the best she can be. That just motivates me to keep on trying. Do you know that woman burns the candle at both ends each and every day, but still finds time to share the love with her MFPeeps? That's what support/friendship is all about.

Plus, I think we are dopplegangers separated by the Cheddar Curtain!

super hard to do bc like u said... everyone is amazing! but the one that helps me the most and give me HONEST feedback, even when i have a shytty day he will say... ummm... mt dew?? really! lol. is reepobob!

Just keepin' ya honest, darlin'...thanks for the shout out! Keep up the good work (even if you are hopelessly addicted to that stuff)...LOL

This is super tough because I luv all MFP friends and they all support me in every way I need with all their different types of personalities but right off the bat I would have to say Ladybug1620, Roe3568, Drammi72, and Rachael5576, are some of the strongest, supportive, fierce ladies I know.

This is no big secret to anyone who knows us, but I choose laughingdani. She understands me like no one else does. I swear we were sisters in a previous life. We are similar is so many ways.. our weight loss stories, our views on so many things, senses of humor (though she is much, much wittier than I am, lol, however, we're both naughty-minded and enjoy the use of swears, lol), things we've had happen in our past, we were even both band geeks growing up, lol. I feel like I can completely be myself with her. There is not so much worry about if I will offend her. I love having someone that I can let my hair down with.

She has the perfect balance of keeping MFP fun and social while kicking major *kitten* with her fitness and motivating and inspiring daily. I love it because whether I need a laugh, a hug, or a major kick in the *kitten*, she's there. I love the energy and zest she has for life. She is just a person I truly enjoy associating myself with and telling daily that I love her.

Ditto. What she said. ^^^^ LOL Ok seriously, how can I compete with that?!

She. IS. Awesome. There's no one better. Period.

Not much gets to me or gets me down but when that does happen Bbygrl is there to pick me up or to give me a swift kick in the *kitten* and tell me to woman the eff up! I love that about her. It's not all puppies and rainbows. Sometimes I need tough love.
Even though she and I can commuinicate on a regular basis there are times when we go days without talking to one another. We don't get upset or hurt by that. We know that the people on here are REAL people with lives that go beyond MFP. *gasp* Yeah, I said it! lol So, if we have gone a somewhat lengthy period of time without speaking to each other we still pick up where we left off like nothing happened. No hurt feelings. There's not much more I can say about her that she hasn't already said about me. I just love her!

A very close second, who I just HAVE to mention is Panda_Jack. He is the sweetest Panda you will ever meet, and he's cute. He is very dedicated to his fitness and nutrition. He constantly pushes himself and inspires me to become a better person. Not only that he has a busy schedule and always takes the time to comment on everyone's posts, workouts and diaries. He's truly amazing!

I CAN name 1 person and that person is me, cause no one else gives me the power, the strength or the encouragement to do what I do.

I love when people tell me way to go and great burn but deep down that doesn't drive me or help me cause that is just the after effect of what I have done, that doesn't get said and done till the dust has settled so to speak. I think we all deep down inside need to give OURSELVES props before anyone else, cause no one makes you wake up every morning and make conscious decisions in eating and working out other then ourselves. No MFP member is standing next to us when we take the high road, no MFP member is their in the back of your mind telling you to get on that treadmill or add that extra 5 lbs to your dumbbells today or telling you that you best go to the gym instead of slacking off....

SO LETS GIVE IT TO OURSELVES AS THAT MFP FRIEND THAT YOU TURN TO!!!!!!! HOOOOORAY!!!!

From the most motivational song I know

Have Heart-Armed with a Mind

"caked up and faked up,
she's obsessed with the outside.
nothing earned, too afraid to fail.
so she leads a hollow life void of insight
loving what you see, but you fear what you think
because of your mind and your body
there's a missing ****ing link
that leaves you vulnerable, susceptible to pain
you're a garden of potential submerged in the rain

i said true beauty, cant be seen, with the eyes

ARMED, armed with a mind
i'm gonna strengthen my action with thought
make use of the gift i got
and walk fearless because i'm armed-with-a-mind
a weak offense when you step to this
mind over matter is power over fists
i walk fearless because i'm armed with-a-mind

i walk fearless with a mind far greater than just a ****ing fist.
spineless and mindless. you flex your muscles and not your ****ing head
a deep man with a strong point made without one thoughtful word said?
"huff and puff", the fierce fists will do the talking
cant speak for yourself so your "crew"'s with you walking
tell me whats worth fighting for...
and it better be something greater than an evening of the score

boy, your true strength sleeps behind your eyes!

its the absent minded fool who's afraid to think,
to extend an open hand,
to dare to earn a thing.
its the gift inside our heads not to take for granted..
because an unexamined life is a seed unplanted.
as the animals, they cant reason
but as humans we can.
so are you just a wild animal or a rational man?
our bodies bring us nowhere, might does NOT make right.
theres a gift inside your head"

I'm gonna go ahead and give a shout-out to my MFP soul brother, anubis609.

So hard to pick just one- so I won't, but I will say that I have never found such a supportive group of people in my life. It's what has kept me going, and I am super grateful.
