I know there are so many to choose from and to be honest there are many inspirations to me on this forum

There is Kylie, Eli, Minnie, Saffa and Gill2005 (Booster Guru).

But I just wanted to say thankyou to you all for all the guidance since I joined the forum.

Last but not least a huge thank you to Jaci (Miss Broxi) who is always there to listen to my moans and give me a huge kick up the bahooky when I have fallen off the wagon
Jaci has lost over 150lbs, and exercises everyday- quick marching her way to target and I think she is a huge reason on why I have stuck around.

Does anyone else have inspirations on the forum or are you inspired by someone else you know?

Have a great weekend.

Thankyou to you all for being there.

I get a lot of inspiration from everyone here , both the big losers and people who are struggling ..Thankyou everyone.. At work , there are 4 people who joined WW just before the college summer holidays and I have watched them all shrink so much. it is interesting to see people losing weight but 4 from the same office is a hell of an inspiration ..Cant let them get away with that without being in on it too.

What a fantastic Post Laura.

I found the Forum an amazingly inspirational place on my weigh loss journey, and also in maintaining too.

I was lucky enough to have Eddie to keep me company on here, and really did get inspiration and motivation through his posts, losses and words of wisdom through PM's.

Slimmer Of The Year is another fantastic way to see what really can be achieved by us all...no matter your age, size or location.

In Class I love seeing the success stories too, especially the Before and After pictures..

Awwww Laura thank you so much, I dont quite know what to say to that.........

This is a fantastic place to succeed, everything we need is right on hand and there is generally someone here night and day. I remember many moons ago reading about Jacdav and her success, I guess she prompted me to join the forum and start making changes. So although I dont know her I guess you could say she inspired me in the first instance so I hope she gets the chance to read this.

More recently I would say my nephew is my inspiration, some of you may have read some of my posts about him but in case you haven't - he is 13 yrs old and was quite down about his weight, he plucked up a lot of courage and asked me to help him. He has resisted temptation a million billion times since Easter and has lost over 2 stone (an awful lot in preportion to has starting weight). He is now in a healthy weight range for his age and height and has maintained for 5 weeks. I look at him and think if he can do it with all the tempations of school, friends and junk food then I have no excuse.

Thanks again Laura, Broxi's Bootcamp is always here for you xxx

what a lovely post

away back in the beginning, it was jacdav, saw her in the boost and thought she was fab

then on the forum, there was eli, head down get the job down no excuses, brill

long term its been my mate kylie, cos i know shes as greedy as me , but she manages to control it, so so can i

recently its been minnie, did a tremendous job AND won us a title from soy

other inspirations are people who do it in a very short time in relation to how much weight they have to lose...sandy, eddie, soy this yr etc

and all the strugglers, like me, who i know one day will achieve their goals

my inspirations have come from all the fabulous people and help on here, thank you.

and also my brilliant cm, who made me realise i CAN do it, she has eddie too, and wow when i saw his story i so wanted to do this.

ots of love from xjemx

MissBroxi....

So Glad to hear of your Nephews fantastic progress.

He is an inspiration to all Teens and you and him should be so so proud.

Well Done to you both.xx

Flick what a lovely post My first inspirations were Jacdav and Maureen and then Morag Smith and then Eli and I buddied up and helped each other over the target line but id never had done that without my cm Linda and fellow class members and especially the forum ! ! Now my class members constantly inspire me too
Im inspired by someone or something everyday on here (most recently Laura you inspired me to get exercising properly with your 9.5 inches off ) which helps keep me motivated and reminds me why I worked so hard to finally get slim !
Jaye so true I am the greediest person in Scotland thats why if i can do it anyone can !!!

Thank you forum pals xxx

soooo many people have inspired me on here at different times since the moment i signed up to the forum i wouldnt know where to start. from all the girls in the 100+ thread i posted in when i first joined to everyone ive been in other challenges with. then theres the threads that pop up every other day with someone sharing stories on how much their weight losses have a made a difference to their lives be it a huge life changing experience or fitting into an old pair of jeans for the first time in months. all these wee things stick with you !
also can i just say im really chuffed to bits that ive inspired some of you too, i really think its a give and receive thing. i doubt very much i would have done as well without this place at times either.

awww, i never said that!! just that we are similar

Hi, thought I'd just say that I have found the people on the forum to be very friendly and supportive and I've just been with online SS for a couple of months. It's nice that we all appreciate each other and can help each other reach our goal, whatever that may be.
I am very proud of my Aunty Maureen, who lost a remarkable amount of weight and was in the SS magazine. Unfortunately I didn't get the magazine with her in it at the time as I wasn't involved with SS at the time but I saw a picture of her later on when attending an SS class in Buckie when her picture was on the board and she looked great. Shes an inspiration to us all.
I myself lost about 5 stone two years ago and couldn't have done it without going to SS at the start. I have only 8 and a half pounds to lose this time, so I should be able to do it if I purt my mind to it.
Well, good luck everyone on their loss and if you believe you can succeed, you will. Luv, Catrina.x

Hi fantastic post

My inspiration has got to be everyone on here - no matter the time of day or night there's always someone here to give support and encouragement or just blether to.

So thank you everyone

I have to agree completely with you Cinders!! Thanks to everyone x
