I got it for you! Oh, Mary, you have accomplished a lot---in the midst of some heavy storms, I might add. Look at you thought---less panic attacks. That right there is a praise. You are seeing and feeling the results of your efforts and I hope that inspires you to press on. It certainly encourages me.

This Year, I Mary Robinson: 1- This year I had battles and pushed through 2- I have lost and gained and lost again, but it wasn't my fault this time. I followed doctor's orders and it made me gain. 3- This year I've tried new things and enjoyed myself 4- This year I've had better blood pressure and less panic attacks. 5-…

And also with you! You have truly inspired me! You have hit your goal but you are keeping on keeping on! That is great. To not rest on your laurels :)

This is your PSA for today! Group activity at the end!!! There are 76 days until January 1! 76 JFT's left until Joan turns the page and begins a JFT 2020! 76 days until we declare a new word for the year for our personal journey. 76 days until we look back and do a reckoning of the past year. Some of us have been besieged…

Yippee! Lost another pound---and don't any of you go searching for it!!! I am recording my food I am drinking 6 cups water/herbal tea I am doing window cleaning for my exercise I have done my Bible study I am journaling I am being purposefully grateful Peace and joy!

I lost two pounds yesterday. It's "amazing" how I lose weight when I am mindful, purposeful, determined, and use the tools available to me, lol!!! I have recorded today's food. I have completed my Bible study for the day. I have written in my journal. I will be grateful throughout the day. I am going to stretch today. I…

Bex, we had a big ol lab that would jump on people. We saw immediate results by simply turning our back to her and giving her no eye contact. As soon as I would see her about to jump on me (still no eye contact just peripheral) I would turn my back. Because I was not responding to her or even looking at her she wasn't…

I just want to comment on something I have observed while catching up on y'all's goings-on. I feel a definite shift in our little world! I feel an air of positivity and hope that hasn't been here for a while. A sense of steely determination and success in those scales moving in the right direction. It fills me with…

Greetings my fellow sojourners! I have been awol for a while due to other stuff taking its place. Drove out to our future retirement home three weeks ago--finally got internet and have been painting rooms. I am so not a painter---how I can get paint on the carpet even though I've got heavy-duty drop cloths everywhere is…

This reminds me of my mil. I was always walking on cracked glass around her. Just about the time I thought we were doing well I would say something or do something that she would find offensive (didn't say good morning to my fil and that made me a "rat") or she would accuse me of something I was completely innocent of and…

Here's my two cents gleaned from my experience of getting burned out at church. 1) Always seek the approval of God not man. What is God wanting you to do in this church? 2) If you are taking on things because "no one else is, and it needs to keep going" then consider this: God may have that job in mind for someone else who…

Consider writing them a "thank you for the opportunity.." note. Acknowledge your weak answer and explain why. You weren't expecting the question because you had made it clear that you do not have examples because you have not worked in this area. And then tell them why you applied (based on what they mentioned in the…

I am printing this and mailing it to my son when he goes to BMT (basic military training). Thanks for sharing.

Try this: https://bible.com/p/18022476/a454607174c1caae3fc6ed9e15a66352 That's great! This one is only for 6 days and it's on anxiety if anyone else is interested :)

Ugh for those dreaded letters. Have you considered finding a place where she can volunteer instead of earning money? Perhaps you could find enough in your budget to pay her a bit for the volunteer work she would do? Just a huge horrible quandary.

Yes, change the locks and call the realtor and tell her/him. Beyond ridiculous.

@packerfaninGB I am so very sad to hear of your S father passing. We know everyone is going to die. But we are never prepared emotionally. How wonderful that you were able to see him, love on him, and say good-bye. He felt loved and cherished by your visit. Know I am praying for you and I am praying that communication…

@cschmitz110515 So sorry this is late...I have been traveling and gabbing with my friend! But Happy Anniversary. 15 years is a wonderful milestone!

@Bex953172 Yea, you aren't giving up. You are being proactive. The number one piece of advice: be consistent. You said no playing with the children and by not following through you showed her that she could mold you and bend you in her direction. Just calmly say, "Remember you are unable to play with your friends today.…

Yes I have. The fact of the matter is that I am not focused and determinged. I easily give in to foods that I once was avoiding. I've lost my tenacity :( But I am NOT giving up! I will get there. The positive out of this is that I am maintaining quite well. But just ten pounds...that's all I need...

@cshmitz110515 That is where I'm at...10lbs and I've been needing to get it off for 10months! It's so very frustrating. Ten measly lbs. After losing 30 in 10 months I can't lose the last 10.

That character is a true likeness and struggle of me myself and I!!!

I've been gone all day...so I'm just now seeing this. I sent you a message...let me know if you get it. For some reason they don't always make it to the intended person.

2nd reminder! We will start on Monday or Tuesday. Is anyone interested in participating in an online Bible Study with me? These are short but encouraging studies. Please private message me if you are. Here's the info: 1) It's found on Bible.com 2)It's free 3)Totally Bible-centered and non-denominational 4)It's a 14-day…

Hello wonderful MFP friends. I may be MIA quite a bit but know that I come on here every few days and lurk! I thought we were doing a 5lb weight challenge? Anyway, for anyone still doing it, I am down 2lbs. 3 more to go and it's winner winner chicken dinner!!! Unless, of course I decide to eat that chicken dinner, complete…

I'll join the competition. I weighed yesterday at 153. Great idea! See you at the finish line!

@snowflake1968 I never tire of wedding stories/pictures. So happy it was such a lovely and meaningful day for everyone. Sounds like there weren't too many hiccups. Get geared up for Monday when you are going to jump on the bandwagon with us (I just got back on myself!) Peace and joy
