    My mother in law as well. She has battled with her weight for awhile and we have similar work stress, so seeing her accomplish so much has really motivated me. Most supportive has also been the scale! Seeing it move as I work so hard really helps me push through on days that I'm dragging

    I'm pretty fortunate in having a husband who's doing this with me. And a 17 year old son who is pretty body/health conscious. I try to not look to others for support/inspiration, and focus on self-motivation/self-inspiration. Although, I'd say my motivators at this point are the fact that I will be running a 5k in September, and I'm hoping to complete it in under 35 minutes (I know, not super fast, but I've got short little legs - LOL). And - I'd love to hear people tell my husband that his wife is hott! :blushing:

    Probably my brother...he's super in shape and has made litle comments here and there about how I'm doing well! But I don't really have very much "real life" support, so MFP really has been a huge support system!

    That's an easy one. My partner Karmiene is my biggest motivator and an amazing supporter in this journey. We have been together since we started MFP and joined this challenge together. We have consistently emailed one another for months now and we hold one eachother accountable. Deep down I know I wouldn't be as far along as I am if it wasn't for her.

    I should also give my husband some credit. He has been supportive as well but can't possibly understand fully what I am going through. I have to give him props though for dealing with my emotional mood swings through all this!

    so far I'd have to say my trainer because he's always there to push me and when i screw up he reminds me that we all screw up...I would've said my hubby but he brought peanut butter ice cream home this weekend so that knocked him off my 'support system' list for a while hahahaha

    My husband has been by biggest supporter. He helps out with the kids so I can go to the gym or work out at home, he does 99% of the cooking and he has learned to make healthier meals and he tells me something positive about the "new me" a million times a day. He is amazing and I love him!!!

    Honestly... Myself. I tell myself to do it and not complain. I motivate myself so that I can be a better me. :) I wish I can say my husband, but... well lol I can't haha.

    I don't have a ton of support through this, that's why I love MFP! My husband is trying to help, but he still has a long way to go.

    My little girl, I want her to be healthy and happy, she's going to be a nerdy kid so she'll probably be teased enough.

    All seriousness, I also have to rank better on the hot/crazy scale, so my boyfriend will put up with my *kitten*. :P

    I would have to say my boyfriend seeing as how he supports me with whatever my decision is when it comes to my weight loss and he really inspires me to lose this weight to become more healthy. And if it wasn't for him, I'd still weigh 262lbs instead of 209.

    My mom is my biggest support/influence…she has also had a weight problem her whole life and we have struggled together since I was in my late teens. From TOPS to WW and everything in between she has been there for me. She’s the one person in my life (aside from my new DD friends!!) who understands when I play those stupid psychological games with myself…and can help get me back on track…

    But I DO have to give my husband props as well…he has always been very supportive of me...he's stood by me through 19 years of fad diets/exercise machines/workouts/various programs out there…even when he knew in his heart they were just that…fads... When I ask his input, he is honest without being hurtful which I appreciate…but always tells me he wouldn’t care if I never lost an ounce… :love:

    Easy answer for me too... my partner and MFP BFF Lustris!! Like she said, we joined MFP at the same time and there’s been a supportive chemistry ever since. I’m not convinced I’d keep plugging away at this if it wasn’t for her. It certainly wouldn’t be as much fun. She’s funny, clever, and the one that actually suggested we join this challenge. She’s realistic and human. We can (and do) talk about everything. She’s accepting and understanding without enabling. She runs around her neighborhood and up mountains like nobody’s business. She’s beautiful, inspiring, amazing and absolutely my biggest motivator.

    I’d also like to give a shout out to the Diamond Challenge - to Miss Jamaica for creating it and Chase who helps run it. This challenge was just what I needed to refocus and kick it up a notch. I’m also appreciative to the women in the challenge that I’m friends with. When you show up every single day and post your amazing progress in my news feed, I’m inspired to do more (and eat less).

    I would have to say my best friend and little sister. They both go to the gym with me. Sometimes they have to drag me but I still go because of them. They have both have been amazing.
