I saw someones signature today (I don't remember who, so I'm sorry that I'm not giving you credit!) and they had an image of Jillian Michaels (from "Biggest Loser") with a quote that I found really neat.

It got me thinking...

So who is your inspiration in this journey? and why?

my inspiration is looking at all these pictures of people who have lost so much weight and i want to be one of those people too!check out Zelma for instance .. she is truly inspiational and gives me hope!

YP1 is my 3FC inspiration, she's absolutely amazing and dedicated, and a really lovely person IRL too, I am really lucky to have gotten to know her in person.

Teapot Dynamo, because she is beautiful, and always takes time in her busy schedule to support others.

Meg (exercise and LWL and maintainers) has been my insipration here from the beginning, it's the fat pants photo!!!

Closer to home, Joanne, who works in our corner store, who has lost a lot of weight, and never ceases to notice every little loss I have had.

Jiffypop, Pookie88 and hubs to name a few in the weight loss surgery therad. I haven't had WLS, but the women there are amazing, the things they have been through, and the hard work they put in for every pound loss, they are truly inspirational.

And everyone here, SusanB, Misti in Seattle, Mel, 4Rabbit and the many others who take time out every day to make sure that we are all still in there with the support we need to get this thing done.

My inspiration... hmmm. Well, that's a pretty easy one.

My biggest inspiration is my boyfriend. He was born with the metabolism of a mouse, so he's always been thin. Obviously he doesn't inspire me by weight loss. But whenever I'm feeling down and out about things, he's always there to encourage me. He just keeps telling me that I've come so far, and he knows that I can make it. He says that he admires me for how strong I've been through the whole thing... what more inspiration do I need?

But if that wasn't enough, there are some really, really awesome people here on 3FC that inspire me even when I'm not down and out. SusanB, Meg, ZedAus, Misti in Seattle, and so many more. Just knowing that there are so many other people out there going through the same things as I am... it really inspires me to keep going.
