    QOTD Tuesday 10/4/11: Now that you have been communicating with your partner for a full week, except our newest member on the blue team, I'm sure you have some words of encouragement, congratulations, thankfulness or up lifting... Today is give your partner a public shout out day.... (I hope this is ok, I know it's not a question, but I hope you all don't mind)

    Well my partner and I couldnt be more opposite in our life circumstances, and it makes it very interesting to peak into the life of a stay at home mom, while I am a working, go non stop, no kids around kind of woman. We have such different struggles, but yet the same one basically. She is Amazing! I wish I had her stamina. She is very supportive and friendly. She just completed a 5K with her daughter, how cool is that!

    Thanks WFORTNER for being my teammate, I hope I can be as supportive to you each day!

    Clifford2010 is my partner and she is FABULOUS!! FAB-U-LOUS! She's super busy and has loads on her plate but she still takes the time to encourage me and to work on her own goals. I'm enjoying getting to know her and am grateful to have someone in my corner like her. It helps keep me accountable. Plus I don't feel like I'm doing this alone anymore.

    Thank you Stars, too! All the encouragement is GREATLY appreciated.

    Prizmaa, I echo back everything you said! It's so motivating to have a supportive and hard-working partner like you! I look forward to your messages of encouragement so much, and I'm so glad we were paired up!

    I watched DWTS last night, and I think that Ricki Lake is looking great! She is never going to be a petite woman (I won't either), but she is confident and counting inches instead of pounds. It's all about how you feel when you put on your clothes or look in the mirror!

    About 2 weeks ago, I decided to get back on MFP after gaining 15 pounds after my wedding. I was down on myself and feeling ashamed of gaining the weight back. I was eating lunch at my desk and looking at some of the MFP message boards (and searching for encouragement) when I found the STARS challenge. What a blessing it has been so far! I needed the encouragement and support of other women, and I found it here.

    My partner Rebecca is amazing! She is a single working mother and she has lost 45 pounds on her weight loss journey! When I'm planning my meals or walking after work, I think to myself, if Rebecca can do it, I can too! I'm so grateful for our new friendship...I am so blessed! THANK YOU REBECCA!

    I had to give this a lot of thought. I wanted to think of someone that is my age, height, and someone that has had children. I have decided that I would love to look like Salma Hayek! She is absolutely gorgeous!!!

    Sarah,
    You are amazing!! You have been very supportive and encouraging. You have been doing such a great job staying accountable, even though we both have our off days, we seem to cheer each other on to keep going. I have learned how strong you are and you have inspired me through your stories. I am so happy that we are teammates. I couldn't do this without you!! I wished we lived closer so we could have coffee and workout together. Thanks for being awesome!! Love you..... Terri

    Hi Steph!!

    I wanted to let you know I am so glad we "connected" on here...Just in the short time we've been chatting, I can tell you are an amazing lady!! Kinda makes me wish we were close enough to go out for coffee...or dinner ( a healthy one, of course) and talk in person :) I would love to see one of your shows!!

    You have made fantastic progress and that keeps me motivated....helps me remind myself..."I can do it too"...Thanks!!! Keep up the hard work...

    Remember, YOU ARE STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL!!!

    I am glad to have you as my partner :) Have a great day!!!!

    Shout out to my team partner - jnell ROCKS! She has kept me accountable and encourages me to exercise. Seems like on those days I just don't want to eat right or exercise I get a message that encourages me to move! I have enjoyed getting to know her and about her sweet girls. Thanks J!

    Terri,

    You have been such a huge help to me in the last week. You always listen to my complaints, and goodness knows I have plenty of them! LOL When I want to give up for the day I know that all I need to do is shoot you a message and you will help get me back on track, that is such a wonderful feeling! I'm so glad we met and that you are my partner through this!

    My partner nenabug is the perfect partner for this challenge. She has been supportive, genuine and optimistic in her mail to me and these are traits that are essential to a good partner in my view. She also has shown consideration and thoughfulness with regard to my mothers very serious illness and for that I am truly grateful. I am sure she is a delight to her husband and family and I consider myself well blessed that she was chosen to be my challenge partner.

    One more thing......... starsnyc21 when we are all looking so fine, we are going to think about you and what you did for us. You rock girl.

    I absolutely love this question. It is so sweet. Thanks for posting.

    ChatSournois

    Your energy is amazing. You have been such a great source of support for me even beyond the challenge. You have shown genuine concern for me, especially during this tough summer. You’ve help me get back on track with this weigh loss journey. And I’m so glad you decided to be apart of this challenge. You are an awesome partner and a great motivator for the team. Without even meeting you in person I know you have a good heart and you deserve all the good things that are coming your way, including this weight loss.

    I hope you feel better doll and keep up the great work.:flowerforyou:
