so..I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the support I've found on MFP. My friends are absolutely amazing and I WILL NOT friend just anyone for that reason. People who support one another...give advice...and actively build relationships with their friends make all the difference TO ME. It would be hard for me to pick just one because I love them all...and every single one of my friends inspire me in some way.

That being said...who comes to mind when you think about your journey here?

Who HERE inspires you to be better? fitter? healthier? stronger? and to stick to your goals?

    Just like you....It is to many to name..So I guess I will say I LOVEEEEEE ALL MY MFPers....on my list....I believe so strongly in this....If you have no connection and just make friends to sit on someone list then thats not really what a fitness pal is being....I am serious about my friends list.. I can say 80% of my list I have some kind of one on one connection with..Many ask how I do it...but it just comes naturally..... We know when to be serious and when to get down to business...and Plus they Get Me...Some don't and that's ok too...BUT I KNOW my list of Pals is the best...


    :drinker: To my Lovely MFP Family!

    Gotta bump this one up. I've had a lot of people help me over the past 16 months that I've been a part of this website, both through direct conversation as well as through reading your posts on the forums. I've even cracked a smile once in a while on here. Keep doing what you're doing and stay motivated.

    I'm still trying to wade my way through my fitness journey & I get new ideas daily. Motivation & awareness are really important things and that's what my mfper's give to me.

    This is a great post! I've only been on here a couple weeks and I already have so many great MFP motivators. I luv I can find support from so many moms and super athletic people. I've always been workout and health focused (even when I'm struggling) and its nice to be part of a community who is all around the same way. In addition I luv to motivate others bcuz I've lost the weight after first baby and it feels so good to be healthy :). So thank to my MFPers for keeping me coming back and for being there every step of my journey :). And I luv the forums bcuz we learn so much so thanks to people who aren't my friend exactly but have have helped me with questions I myself had :).

    I need to search for his name, he joined in October or November and has lost over 300 lbs. He is an inspiration to all of us! I think his last name is Davenport, but I'm not sure.

    I love all my friends too... I try to keep my list fairly small also. I cannot believe the support, help, laughs, inspiration and love I get on a daily basis here. Sometimes I just have to tell them all how much I love them!!! I would love to sit down with all of them and have a big ol' glass of wine and some fairly large amounts of chocolate and just shoot the ****...

    I LOVE YOU ALL MFPeeps!!! From one side of the world to the next!!!!

    in order of appearance in my world:

    ickybella - the queen of pushing workouts past their limits, then creating delicious food to eat as a reward

    taso42 - who has been learning and sharing just ahead of me this entire time

    beckyhope - for being like an amazing sister I never had

    coryida - completely succeeded in what she set out to do, and I am lucky that we live in the same town so I can actually hang out with her

    stephanielynn7 and sergeantsunshine - for showing me that weights are totally fine to use, and inspiring me to push myself

    emmaleigh47 - for consistently overcoming obstacles and proving to all of us that anyone can run if they want to

    engineman312 - is a new friend but amazing, a busy person pushing himself to become better each day

    and so so so many more people who have motivated and inspired me time and again to be my very best, so many men and women who have surpassed their goals in the past year+ that I have been here. My friend list, I try to keep it under 100, but can never get below 85. There are 85 of you out there that I would never choose to distance myself from. You are all so very awesome!

    500lbs2marathon - because he has lost an incredible amount of weight AND he's an awesome person, too

    engineman312 - because his crazy workouts inspire me to work harder

    TrophyWifeSass - because no woman who has had multiple children and is over 40 has any right to look that smokin' hot, but she works SO hard and she earned it!

    I have lots of others that encourage me (like sarah44254 and hiker282), but I have to say those three are the most "inspiring."

    SimplyShanRunning....she kicks *kitten* and her body looks amazing, I want to be like her when I grow up
    Flabulous2fitabulous...she is the one I turn to when I have a question, her knowledge amazes me, she also keeps me motivated with her statuses, and inspirational quotes, she's beautiful inside and out

    New additions to my FL: CoryIda and TrophyWifeSass...both women have accomplished a lot and look amazing

    All the women on my FL are beautiful, intelligent, funny, strong, and inspire me daily, they make me laugh, call me out when I'm slacking, listen, and educate me. I'm proud to call them my friends.

    I am lucky and have a wide range of friends; some are there for the daily banter of my emotional health others are there for my physical health and push me to constantly switch-up my routines. I have some that I “used” to build my foundation to start thus journey. Even yet I have some who inspire me and are not on my friends list, yet associate with those on my list. Several have already spoken here and that explains why they are an inspiration. What it all come down to is that each of the people on my friends list has inspired me in some way and to call one of them out over another would just be unjustified because when I look back on my journeys path and see all the footprints, I will know who carried me when I needed it the most.
