Shout out to EZMoney for being so amazingly positive all the time and over the top encouragement.

To all the super maintainers - who have inspired me more than they could ever know.

And anyone who has ever made a post here - the members are what makes this place the greatest!

Ya know what? Nelie is very smart too.

JayEll, EZMoney - both are excellent moderators and I enjoy their posts very much!

Kaplods for her thorough and informative posts!

All of our maintainers that stick around to help the rest of us out - they are patient and wise and spend a lot of their time answering questions they have answered so many, many times before.

And of course to Jennifer, Suzanne and Amy - without whom there wouldn't be 3FC at all!

Great thread. But wow, so many great people on the forums, aren't there!? I would second so many that have already been mentioned.

So I'm going to add two:

JamieJo - because you hang in there, and I'm having to work at that right now. We're all in it together

JillNicole03 - because you're a fabulous cheerleader and it's infectious

All day I was looking forward to thinking about who to post, and then I went and had a PBJ and hot cocoa for dinner - I may as well have taken a sleeping pill! If I wake up with qwerty on my forehead, I conked out here

You're all wonderful in your own little ways

But I tend to enjoy kaplods and mandalinn82's post's. Always in depth and very informative.
I wish I wasn't so lazy when it comes to explaining matters .
You rock.

Oh Jamie! Love you up too! Especially because you're the most determined person. You really are. I very much admire that. You rock for sticking with it. You are MY idol in determination. I love that you always post, even when things aren't going the way you like. You've got a great attitude, and a really cute baby girl .

JulieJ08- You've been a such pleasant voice of reason for me, giving me balance when I get frenzied about silly things. I'm so glad we've run across each other recently. Where have you been during my whole weight loss?

Kaplods for her witty posts. I enjoy those too. She needs to write a book, I like her style. And we like the same green beans from Sam's.

Rockinrobin for inspiring me when I first started in January. I don't know if she knows - but she helped me to see that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. That ANYTHING is possible. Reading her story is what made me stick with it.

For me, definitely Lori (Fiberlover). Thank you for always being there for us answering all my questions and always being willing to lend a hand.
Thank you!
Also to all the ladies at the Wii Fit challenge, I might fall of the wagon over and over again, but they keep pushing me back on.

Lyn for sharing her struggles with us and demonstrating the spirit of not giving up.

Mudpie is a bright and encouraging voice in Featherweights.

JulieJ08 - I forgot about you!!!! Shame on me! Geez...we sound like a bunch of drunk girls telling each other how much we love each other..... tee hee!

... I don't post much, but I'm always looking for posts by these members, who are always so balanced, and so informative. Thank you!

Oh yes Glory87! Who else wishes they lived close enough to follow her thru grocery stores and watch her cook?

My shout outs go to.....

Mandalinn for all her wonderful knowledge. You never fail to answer our endless questions. You hard work and dedication has paid off and I love that you share everything you know with the rest of us to help us on out journey. So thank you.

Photochick...what can I say? gotta love you. you are always right on the ball with the answers. You are always honest and oh so helpful. I read your posts often and it usually saves me from asking more questions. You are so good at answering others questions that mine are usually answered in the process. Thank you.

EZMONEY- I just love your posts with all the cute little smileys thrown in. they never fail to make me smile and I think smiling is very important so I appreciate your efforts and time in putting all the appropriate smileys in the right places. Thank you.

And a shout to all those that spend their free time here sharing and supporting. You really make a difference. Thank you.

Oh, man, you guys made me cry. Junebug, This place is so very special to me. So many wise women, and even a few wise guys (Hi EZ!).

I wanna shout out to Kittycat, Jenguin, Mavis, and Tyler for doggedly running 500 miles by Christmas. Lydia for always answering weight-lifting questions so patiently (and Meg & Mel & Depalma and the rest of the WL folks too).....and Lizziep cause she makes me smile when I get to read her posts.

Hugs to you all!!! Funny how a message board has improved my life so very much....I'm touched that I've been a bit helpful to others along the way. Pass the kleenex, please.....

Dang! I knew I forgot two important ones! Glory87 and Lyn!!!
