But in reality, all my friends here support me everyday in so many ways...I thank you all...you all inspire me to do the best I can everyday! :love:

    I have a ton of inspiring friends here on mfp, including some wonderful real life friends, Sbakke77 first off, the person who got me here to begin with, and JZIM because she always has kind words, even when I can't get to my comp for comments.

    Thanks for those who gave me a mention, it is appreciated and means alot to me to know that Ive been able to have a positive impact on your life in some form or another.

    I have a large circle of friends here, and I cant honestly pick out a handful of which I find to be an inspiration to me, as I find myself constantly inspired by most EVERYONE in my circle. Just the fact that I can come on here to MFP and read about people's successes, struggles, joys and pains, but yet no matter what the circumstance manage to get the support and courage they need to fight thru it and do what it takes to acheive their goals. To me, THAT is inspiring!

    I am gonna name a few names, solely by their First names because they know who they are. I mention them not just because of how inpiring they are, but of how caring and supportive they have been to me in my short time on MFP. Im proud to call these people friends.

    In no particular order.. Jenn, Lori, Katie, Cecy, Sam, Hil, Danielle, Gary, Em, Amanda, Tesha, Shan and Bry.

    Last but certainly not least, my biggest supporter and my best friend, my wife Gail.

    Great thread idea! I am inspired by all of my MFP friends, whether they have 10 lbs to lose or 100. They are all on here every day, logging the good, the bad, and the ugly, and exercising even if it means sweating through a JM video at midnight after a long day.

    I was going to give a shoutout to Gary (500lbs2marathon) but it looks like a lot of people beat me to it. Inspiring journey, fantastic motivator and great status updates to keep me going every day! Shoutout also to Sarah (schninie82), who is always encouraging me not to give up exercising and pushed me through JM 30DS. I'm also inspired by sarah307, jenna<3, fatgirlslove, creiche, and really just too many others to name. Everytime I see one of my MFP friends making healthy food choices or getting a great workout in, I can't help but do the same because I don't want to let them down! :flowerforyou:

    Doing mine by first name unless I don't know it :laugh: Gary, Donna, Adrian, Joe, Auticus, Namaste, Leora, Collins, Ritamas and Adrye.. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

    All of these people have different reasons for being an inspiration to me. Some have lost a large amount of weight, some are always there for me and pushing me and a couple of them are just plain sexy.

    I honestly believe I have the BEST friends on here.

    What has really inspired me is being able to slowly watch myself improve, getting fitter, faster, stronger, healthier, better skin, smaller clothes, it's all so inspiring

    I've seen so many folks on here that inspire me, there are too many to count (and too many to "friend"). Every day I see another person's thread and go "WOW. Amazing." And not just for their weight loss -- it's because of what they've been through, what they're going through, the fact that they're just trying to live their best life possible for themselves, their families, their kids, their parents... and even the struggles are inspiring.

    If I could, I'd give a shout out to EVERY SINGLE ONE of you. :flowerforyou:

    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!!!!

    All of my friends are my inspiration, but I must give a special shoutout to Gary and Rachel. True examples that it can be done and excuses are for suckers. Luv all my MFP friends.
