    Hello, I started MFP about a week ago and I need to know who the stars are:smile::smile: Who is your MFP inspiration? Give ONE male and ONE female. Just to make it more fun!:smooched: :smooched:

    male:
    q9s7 and GuruMeditation (if you don't add Guru, you HAVE to follow him on the boards...then you'll learn who all the super smart, healthy people are on here!)

    and if you do anything tonight, add Stephanielynn76... check out her blog on MFP if you don't believe me :)

    Oh, and welcome!!!

    always the thread to make people feel crappy.
    Why? Is anyone putting anyone else down?
    I did not mean to make anyone feel crappy. I could have said celebrities or something of the sort, but that is not as realistic
    No worries. It looks like the other 99% of us are enjoying the thread.

    Everyone on my MFpals list is there for a reason...I had the desire within myself to change my lifestyle, but the extra support really helps.

    I can't imagine why a thread like this would make anyone feel bad...?

    After have an extremely rough day today, this really lifted my spirits!

    My top:

    female: bry for sure! She is doing what I dream to do: compete. I look up to her and her goals! I hope to be where she is at someday :blushing:

    male: tough one! Sidesteal wins my vote tho. Skinny fat to inspiration! He works hard every day and is a ton of help on the forum! I can ask him anything :]

    MANY on my friends inspire me everyday with their hard work and dedication. Keep it up everyone! If it wasn't for them I wouldn't always strive for my best

    I am inspired by Sunshine's amazing biceps...everytime I see your photo on the boards, I remind myself that I need to start lifting again! :flowerforyou:

    Sunshine_88 is probably my biggest inspiration. She's awesome. :)

    I'm inspired by everyone who loses weight and fights through all the ups and downs this journey puts in front of them.

    Maybe someone would feel bad if they feel they've inspired people but aren't mentioned? I'm not sure really. I'll be honest - I'm on this journey for me, but if I help someone or inspire someone along the way - that's awesome. It isn't my goal, however. :)

    CoryIda is my inspiration. She's freaking amazing, and I told her so. :) She's come a long way and has a wonderful realistic attitude. Love her.

    I'm also a big fan of GuruMeditationError (I think that's his new screenname). He's pretty awesome.

    Everyone on my list. They are pretty pro and a true inspiration even when they fall and get back up!

    Female: three way tie: Stephanielynn76, sunshine_88 & jennw10

    Male: three way tie Ninerbuff, sidesteal & acg67.

    Too hard to pick just one. But as others have said, all my friends inspire me in one way or another.

    I have come a LONG way since January. Have lost over 40lbs and am in the best shape of my life, I could not do it with out ALL my friends, they offer their own unique perspectives and push me along, some seem to know when I am struggling and not speaking up about it and get me to kick it into gear. I hope I do the same for them. To pick a single person would be impossible.

    Hard to single anyone out.

    rybo, efue, fit4life, julieSD, engineman, kimert, mandeiko, AZtrailrunner, lwhitman, bre, reese, ChristinaK, spammy, silky, razor.

    just off the top of my head.

    KeriD... she is amazing! I look forward to her workout posts (she's a hiking machine!) And her streak is nearing 700 days! But there are many others that I can't think off right off hand.

    But I think everyone on this site is deserving of the term "Motivator"... and should be considered inspirations to all. Everyone is HERE and making the effort to change themselves for the better. Day in, day out... good days, bad days... we all stick to it because we want to be around for a long time... it is NEVER too late for any of us. We just have to find it in ourselves to make that change.

    This place is an inspiration factory. I could rattle off a few dozen names easily. Sometimes I click around peoples profiles that I don't even know and get inspired just reading their stories.

    To name just one, chrisdavey is sort of my hero. :blushing:

    SO many friends have helped me and inspired me at different times...

    in no particular order

    bbygrl5 - one bad *kitten* girl who works as hard as anyone
    kristarablue - she has had so much success, intense workouts that amaze me and is always there for my crazy self
    miasunshine - amazes me with her workout and dedication to everything
    500lbs2marathon - how could you argue with his success and drive and dedication
    CoryIda- With her big win on biggest loser today, she was one of my first friends
    DarkAngel - she got my *kitten* to the gym more times then I could admit
    Two who are gone or changed... Irunforfun and XoxKatiexox both helped me learn to actually go out and run
    BigPell8- is a bad man.. I tried to keep up with him, but he has pulled way a head
    scsedey143 - my walking partner, she is as hard core as they come!
    Julicat- she is always putting up great losses...

    So many more... but that is a good start!

    The more I read through this thread, the more I'm going to end up posting. lol... DarkAngel, BigPelly, GorillaNJ... all friggin amazing pals! BigPelly... that guy is a beast! I hope eventually I can say I have achieved the success he and G have both had... you boys are badass.

    I agree with so many people. It's almost impossible to name one or 2 because all my friends on my list inspire me daily and make me want it.
    Sumo813- he was my first guy friend on MFP and he always takes the time to encourage me and shows me amazing burns that my competitive nature just wants to push myself that much harder to see those numbers for myself. <3 him!!!
    HJollyrn- one of my very first friends on here and is always honest. If she had a bad day she says, whatever...it was a bad day, tomorrow is a new one.

    I look at random profiles all the time and get inspired by people I don't even know.

    My friends kick *kitten*!!! Each of them are special to me in their own way. Each of them have inspired me and pushed me without even knowing it. I dont think I would have had the success I have without my friends.

    PBJunkie, if I can be half as ripped as that dude I'd be happy as hell.

    Several of my friends too for dedication and results.
