Yea, you did it and it's over and done! Hmmm...if she is off and running and checking on references today, I would think sending a thank you today would be okay. Certainly in the morning. With the way you have described the lack of jobs available to folks, you need to stand out---in a good way! Did you think of anything to…

I'm just glad to see you are grading! Our youngest, who is now in college, has had such trouble, especially in classes that have writing assignments, getting his work returned in a timely manner (this was also the case in his high school class at the Consortium). He doesn't know if the writing is acceptable or what changes…

@snowflake1968 Lovely gown. I really like the color. @bookmeister86 well now, looky you! Absolutely fantastic and you are beaming in the victory pic! Yea for You!

Please, if all you can do over the next few weeks, is to briefly check in, then do so. This is a haven of rest, where you can let your hair down, prop your feet up, and just be. I'm glad you bought a journal. I had not written consistently in one since 1993. I'm on my third one since January 2018! just ordered it…

@snowflake1968 Yes, that's exactly how I operate...if I want ice cream or bread, etc. I work it into my calories for that day. And if there are days that doing so means that I go a bit over then I'm okay with that, as it is the exception. Right now I super focused so am avoiding sweets, etc. for a bit. You are a fabulous…

We are all in different stages of our journey. And while I certainly believe one should enjoy all foods within moderation, which is in itself a learning curve and a challenge, there are moments when we must dig in our heels, and say that simple, yet powerful word: NO. There is a time and a season. Right now, my season is…

WOY: Discipline Yesterday, I practiced discipline by once again saying no to the chocolate that was doing all it could to distract me! Small Change/Big Impact Day 1: Threw out white chocolate chips Day 2: Reverted to drinking 8 cups of water Day 3: Reverted to pre-logging Day 4: Reverted back to 1200 calories/day Day 5: No…

This is from the GEM fb page. It spoke to me and thought I'd share it with you. It's the weekend, which means it's time for a lot of "Cheat meals"! But have you ever stopped and thought about how that sounds? 🤔 The word "cheat" has such a negative connotation. Even though cheat meals are glorified all over the fitness…

Ugh. No doubt you are feeling disappointed and like you swallowed a big heavy rock that is sitting in the pit of your belly. So very sorry.

First let me say, job well done! Your efforts are paying off in a big way. So keep that discipline going. You have pushed through this trying time like I've never seen you do before and wow! The results are phenomenal. Don't give in just because it's the weekend, or as a reward...and I'm talking to myself more than you!…

This is true! However, I'm sure we are all taking a collective sigh, perched on the edge of our chairs waiting expectantly to hear from you!!! But, yes, take the time to do some research, develop, and practice. Peace and joy.

That was so lovely of the instructor to take the time to tell you that. It's like a thank you, job well done, from Heaven :)

WOY: Discipline Yesterday, I practiced discipline by saying NO to the craving of chocolate yesterday evening. I ended up brushing and flossing by 8pm, which did help. But boy, I sure was wanting some chocolate chips and pretzels! Small Change/Big Impact Day 1: Threw out white chocolate chips Day 2: Reverted to drinking 8…

You bet your sweet bippy you're happy about it!!! That's fantastic. Just think...if you lose 1 lb a week from now until December you will have lost around 40 pounds!!! Now, you might not lose weekly, but I am wanting to show you how seemingly small victories can add up to a real doozie!!! Keep pressing on. Keep moving…

Wow!!! That's a fantastic achievement! Way to go...you've worked hard and to achieve what you did today makes for a woo-hoo! moment. Keep us posted. And be sure to post a pic of the BD cake! Peace and joy

That's great---and so were all those lovely green check marks. We've been doing so well the past several days...really digging our heels in and getting focused. It's going to be great to hear of each other's results from all this hard work and discipline we are showing. Now let's do do do it again tomorrow!!!

But but but...look at all the marvelous smiles of accomplishment!!!

WOY: Discipline. I practiced discipline by eating no sweets. Small Change/Big Impact Day 1: Threw out white chocolate chips Day 2: Reverted to drinking 8 cups of water Day 3: Reverted to pre-logging Day 4: Reverted back to 1200 calories/day Day 5: No alcohol M-Th (This is my tackle it Tuesday, Mary!) Day 6: Add more…

Thank you, thank you for this! [/quote] Mary, I think you should lead a Tackle It Tuesday each week. Although we can certainly tackle weight related issues, the two women who have commented tackled something else in their lives. The more we can declutter our space, the more at rest our mind is, which allows for healthier…

No time at all...you might just type in the name of the company and see what pops up. Maybe someone has done an article on them :)

I want to do a spotlight today...on our wonderful leader, Joan!, @mytime6630 I know I speak for all of us when I say how grateful we are that you not only thought of starting JFT, but that you actually took the next step and got it going! Joan is right there in the trenches alongside us, going to battle, to reach a goal of…

Here is a list of interview questions I found on glassdoor.com . You might consider writing down answers...and, if you get stuck, perhaps googling how to answer this question... Also, if you haven't already, google the name of the company and find out about it...how much money they make, what their philosophy is, who the…

Woo-Hoo! At this point we are ecstatic with an interview. So happy for you...please keep us posted. Is this a commission based job???

That is fantabulous!!!! Wow! You knocked it out of the ballpark!

Ha! That's actually a kids' song from a cd...heard it just a "few" times, lol! So, I figured someone had posted the lyrics, and they had. I find myself eating out of entitlement or as a reward for doing well (it is an act of sabotage!!!) Hopefully, this will come to mind the next time I want to eat due to this stinkin'…

Oh, my, I am so sorry to hear this---and good for you to not be a gung-ho Gussie. Take care. Thanks for stopping in :smile: and letting us hear from you.

Look at all those smileys!!! Go, Snowflake! Go, Snowflake! Go, Snowflake! That is very exciting.

I know exactly what you mean...and good that you thought to not step on the scales...and now you know that you were right! You will have another opportunity again, no doubt. Fantastic that you are wearing clothes that didn't fit well just a month ago. Wow! That is a big deal and is true proof that your changes are making…

WOY: Discipline How I practiced discipline: I refrained from having the last serving of margarita...my husband quite willingly had a second so I wouldn't drink it :) I had a coffee with almond sweetener for dessert instead of the apricot bar or chocolate chip/pretzel mix I have been eating at night.
