It would have to be me - because when I was down on myself - the numbers were either not moving or going up.
Me, my husband, even when I wasn't being serious about this and now that I am he is being even more wonderful and my best friend and now that I have joined here - you wonderful people have just really amazed me.... THANK YOU!!!
Me, most of the time but a close 2nd is my bible study leader. It pretty much brings me to tears when I think about how much she (and her family) means to me and how much she has influenced, guided, protected me.
I know I have to make the choice to feel that I am worth this journey. However, she has shown me in so many different ways why I am worth taking care of.
I'm probably my biggest cheerleader. I read constantly to keep myself motivated. This site and lots of weight loss blogs keep me going. My hubby is a huge cheerleader though. The only thing I've complained about with his cheerleading is when he tells people how much I've lost. I'm still a little embarrassed about people knowing the actual number. I'm sure they had to know that I needed to lose that much, but I wanted to stay in denial.
I'd have to say myself and my mother. I'm always pushing myself, and when I need someone to talk to, my mothers always there to listen. It goes both ways because shes on Weight Watchers too
I'd say myself first, then my bf (who is also dieting) and then my real life diet buddies ( a bunch of my friends and I are all doing the daily plate together ) and 3FC OF COURSE!
My buddy at work who works in my dept. that is also doing WW at Work. She cheers on every .5 lb I lose. She's a great girl. She is about 150 lbs and wants to get down to 135 lbs, so she has little concept about the sheer magnitude of the 89 lbs I'm still looking at losing but she is so positive that I'm going to be successful.
She helps me to stay on track while at the office and also (a lot like 3FC) I think about her when I am close to a binge or eating off plan. I think, "What am I going to say to Connie tomorrow when she asks how my night went?" Having someone to be accountable to REALLY keeps me in check. I can lie to myself just fine LOL, I've done it for 20 years and 100 lbs but I can't look someone in the eye and lie.
Also, the friends I've made here have helped me to stay motivated! Thanks guys.
Thank God for Cheerleaders.

I'm pretty bubbly and annoying LOL but I'm definitely my own personal cheerleader. My friends, as one so succinctly put it "i could give a f**k if you're fat/thin/black/yellow/green" LOL they love me no matter what, which is lovely don't get me wrong, but kind of the ANTI motivation LOL My DH is absolutely dreamy. He lets me know he's there to help or back off, whichever I need. He raves about how great I look now (ha, at 250 he says i'm his hot wife LOL) and never once looks askew at me if i decide it's ok to have a bite of dessert. He's a yummy bunny!
