  • I saw Sunshine_88s weight lifting pictures... they looked very nice. I wish I was like that and not skinny fat. Many people showing great progress in this post. Thank you for the daily motivation everyone

    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.

    Thanks brotha... You are one hardcore asskicker!
  • I was a member of MFP previously and I was here for all the wrong reasons. I was not the person I wanted to be and did alot of things I'm not proud of. I took some time off and when I came back there were a few people that not only welcomed me with open arms, but never left my side during my break. Luckily, I've been fortunate enough to meet some new friends who are so inspiring as well!

    BPH218 - My biggest supporter who applauds me for wanting to better myself, but loves me exactly how I am
    Onefitdiva - A true friend who works her *kitten* off in fitness as well as her personal life
    Faerie - My sweet Tiny who I feel understands me and my problems sometimes without me even having to say anything
    Miss_Chievous - A dear real life friend who has given me someone to be inspired by, have fun with, and trust
    Sumo813 - Sean is THE most dedicated, positive friend I know and has the biggest heart
    Namaste1983 - Losing over 230lbs is taking control of her life and dreams and I couldn't be more proud to know her
    Drunkwithwords - If you get the chance, read her blog, you'll know why I'm one of many who love her dearly
    KMShred - Killer workouts, amazing talent (check her out on youtube) and such a lovely, classy woman
    LaughingDani - Real life friend who I've bonded with and been inspired by for SO many reasons and I thank her for that
    MayorMcPanda - A transformation like no other with a dedication that comes with hilarious wit and encouragement
    April_Beth - Beats herself up and shouldn't.....she's a rockstar who always calls it like it is and makes no excuses

    4Theking is my inspiration. He's a fellow Spiker, has taken himself from a similar build to what I am to a lean mean weightlifting machine.

    On top of all that, he's taken on the role of a coach for me and many others on here.

    If I can only choose one of each gender,

    For male it would be Acg67, his wealth of knowledge is endless, and it's obvious he puts his time in the gym

    For femaIe it wouId be Sunshine_88 for her wealth of knowledge as weII, and her amazing transformation which included good eats and heavy Iifts :)

    But I'm definateIy inspired by aII of my MFP friends in one way or another, otherwise, they would have gotten cut by now :)

    "I am truly amazed and inspired by all of the great things my Pals are doing. I see nothing but FIERCENESS up and down my Pals list. There is so much WINNING going on this holiday season...and I know we all have MORE WINNING ahead of us :) I've said many times, "Do something to inspire others", and I want to let my Pals know that YOU inspire me :)

    and

    "I'm just trying to rock this journey like the rest of you. You guys have no idea how much YOUR great work has helped inspire me to be fierce for as long as I have. Without all of you, I'm pretty sure I'd be having a more difficult fight with the complacency creep.


    ^^^ I wrote this on my wall earlier today and I repeat it here on this thread because it is so true. There are so many forms of inspiration from my pals and I could not single out only a handful of them, let alone one from each gender. Anyone who chooses to fight mental temptations, say NO to excuses, and say YES to I CAN....well, YOU ARE an inspiration...even if you struggle sometimes. We are human and we will struggle. We only fail if we give up and don't learn from our struggles.

    Stay Fierce my Friends!

    Guy....hmmm....ninerbuff I'd say since he gives excellent advice on here. But, generally, I get my male inspiration the most when I read the bodybuilding.com forums. Quite a few of the guys there have such great fitness information and progress; and they express it, no holes barred! I didn't care too much about strength training until I started reading their forums on a regular basis.
