I've been on MFP since May and it has been instrumental to my weight loss. There have been people that have come and gone and then we have those "friends" that are always there!

They are always motivating us, pushing us, and congratulating us.

Let's recognize them in this thread and thank them for their dedication!

Jzim has motivated me more than she will ever realize. She starts the day with a positive message and spends much of her day commenting on everyone's workouts and diary closings. She has a full time job, 2 young children, and a husband, but she takes time to motivate her hundreds of MFP friends.

Thank you Jzim!!!!

    I love all my friends, but homeport51 made a huge impact on my eating habits for the better. I know she checks up on my veggie intake, and I just hate to let her down!

    Much love to her! <3

    Many here have inspired me

    but these helped

    rhodes2b The only one here I met so far. Thanks for killing me at workout.

    path2a6pack When I was stuck he gave me a link to a 10 minute workout and that helped me bust that plateau and he continued to check on me.

    slapshotgolf Who keeps on with killer workouts.

    MrgnD3 He calls me friend and checks on me

    Mishy She has gone a long way and keeps on going.

    skwilson1990 She is doing so great and she makes sure she encourages everyone everyday.

    DiabeticAlien Well for one he is a fellow alien. I enjoy his blogs. He checks up on me too.

    pwdalt Who is here just over 45 days lost 18 lbs and just keeps going and going.

    I could go on .... So many here not on my friends list that inspire me. I love MFP!

    Wow, great thread!

    So many of my friends inspire me because they have lost so much, they are always there with an encouraging word, or they have had so many trials but they are still in the game. MFP FRIENDS ARE NEAR AND DEAR AND I COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT THEM! They have all helped me change my life for the BETTER!

    Special recognition (in no particular order) to:

    risefromruin (can't thank you enough for sharing your journey with me; rock star)
    bmw4deb (my hero, my friend!!!!)
    Ims32164 (sent me a postcard that inspires me daily and always an uplifting word)
    cantjustcant (has made me cry, we have so much in common and she cares)
    tatooedtwin (gives me so much geniune attention, spot on)
    ccunrse (sometimes I feel like she's an angel who has nothing to do but encourage me when I need it)
    tuffjourney (such a pro, such a role model)
    Piratejenny (away at the moment but not forgotten; such a pro; such a support)
    Magda2016 (can't live without you, we're two peas in a pod!)
    ColoradoRobin (level headed, tells it like it is, like a rock)
    kkpo (miss you; wish you were here and we could still workout together)

    I feel like I'm making an academy award speech, lol. I see now, why I've been so successful and how I've learned to help others.

    Pay it forward.

    Friends that inspire me:
    The ones that had the courage to face their eating disorders.
    The ones that keep up the motivation in the face of pain and illness.
    The ones that recognized that they needed a change in their lives.
    The ones who stay here to help others.
    The ones that do everything they can to make this place fun.

    Excellent thread idea!

    I have to reiterate what others have said -- all of my MFP friends mean a lot, but there are a few who have gone the extra mile. I appreciate the opportunity to give them a little shout out.

    succeedin2 - Seriously a superstar. I don't know how she keeps up with all the people she does, but I sincerely feel fortunate to be sharing this journey with her. So much fun, so much energy.
    Niveous - Her life is crazy busy but she always has time to share and laugh and encourage with a cycling bud.
    500lbs2marathon - I'm newish to his (very large) circle of friends and I doubt he realizes I am there, but I am so inspired by his spirit and his attitude every day.
    mjc40 - my personal trainer. He supports me and guides me always. I can't imagine this journey without him.
    baisleac - Serious kicka$$ attitude, always encouraging and making me laugh.
    emchamberlain - She steered me toward MFP as a site where she had success, and though I was hesitant, I tried it and loved it. thanks so much!
