UPDATE JULY 30, 2009 this weekend inspiration came in on July 24, 2009
Unlock the Secret to Weight Loss Success
Beloved minister and author Norman Vincent Peale once said, "Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture. Do not build up obstacles in your imagination."
How often does focus (or lack thereof) determine your success in any given endeavor? Think about your goals — whether it's to lose those extra 20 pounds or finally get fit — and attach a mental picture to it. Picturing yourself anew is the very first step to success!
Jordan's Tip of the Day
From the author of The Maker's Diet |
Is Your Mind Keeping You Fat or Sick?
Many times the mental picture we have of ourselves is already predetermined. When we think of ourselves as old, chubby, and out of shape, we defeat ourselves before we even begin to change. Take that mental picture and remind yourself of what you will be — healthy, fit, and happy with yourself!
update --- July 26 2008 I am doing well PRAISE THE LORD.
MAY 28, 2008 I began another new journey once again. Will I make it this time. Don't know, I am trusting in my listening to the LORD to bring me to great results. So if I do not trust him, in all things then I will not make it again. Now I will see.
Because I already know in HIM, I am Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise.
Updating 9-13-2007 Check out the http://www.smarttechnique.com/ this is by Provida and can be used with any weight program. It is like the 6 WBMO when you order as far as purchasing goes, and if you don't lose in so many days you can get your money back. Only thing is there is no eating or excersize persay with this. They are CD's that you listen to and you actually can change your way of thinking. Just check out the link it is very explanitory. I am now on day 17 and have lost weight without even doing any program. But I am going to go fully back on 6 wbmo, just because I enjoy eating this way. Join me I think you will like it.
((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
First of all I apologize this thread was my very first post 3/30/06 when I started and I had no idea what I was doing. I had put it on the under 30 to lose, and I look forward to that day, but today I have decide to repost it where it belongs now that I know a little more what I am doing. It was first posted as looking for others who listen to voice of victory. Here goes anyhow.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sept. 18, 2006 edited. I believe that 6WBMO will work in my life and it can work in yours also. For me I am doing it with the help of my trust in my King who is our Father and our Lord.
My CONFESSION OF FAITH
I believe in the WORD of God. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah; that He walked the earth, died, and was raised from the dead; and that through Him we have been saved and delivered. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He sits at the right hand of our Father. I believe that when He went to be with the Father that He sent us the Comforter as He said he would, which is in us by the personage of the Holy Spirit.
________________________________________________ Looking for others who are looking to become healthy, wealthy and wise in Christ. Praise the Lord. For this month: June 2006 OUR GOAL IS TO CHANGE THAT IMAGE OF OURSELVES
TO THE TRIM AND ATRACTIVE AS IS IN THE MIRROR, EVEN WHAT THEY SEE WILL BE THE NEW IMAGE[/color
_________________________________________________________________
EDITED
September 26 - Let Your New Man Out
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, you became what the Bible calls a "new creature." Inside, you're not the same person you were before. You have the nature of God born into you. But it's not enough for you just to have that new nature on the inside. You have to let it take over the outside as well.
Don't expect that to happen automatically. You have to make a decision to bring your body into obedience to the new man within you. You must determine to do what Romans 6:12 says and "let not sin...reign in your mortal body."
I know that sounds tough, but remember, you're not in this alone. You have a Helper inside you to enable you to carry out that decision. His name is the Holy Spirit. He's there to strengthen you. He gives you the power to put sin out of your life and under your feet.
Make that decisive dedication of your body today--and let that new man that's on the inside of you begin to come out!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Marti Copeland:
Hey, Higher Fitness Prayer Team Faith Giants! Aren't you thrilled at how thinking according to Philippians 4:8 is empowering us? We are no longer at the mercy of fear and doubt, but are exercising our minds to be mentally fit. Just like our bodies, we must continue to exercise to stay in shape. Let's begin our summer by turning up the heat on satan's lies, doubts and accusations.
Father, we pray and agree this month that we will continue to put our faith in You and pressure on the devil as we face any challenge. We will cast down any imagination that contradicts our knowledge of Your goodness and unconditional love for us. We believe that our lives, families and finances are secure and blessed in Your presence as we continue to renew our minds and strengthen our faith. Thank You, Lord, for a glorious summer! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Scripture to Meditate:
2 Corinthians 10:3-4

For the month of July HEALTH Higher Fitness Prayer Team-Declare your independence! What a great country we will live in and there's not a better month to celebrate our independence! In His Strength, by MARTI COPELAND Father, this month we pray for each others need. We recognize that the word "need" represents all we need spiritually, physically, socially and financially. We ask You, according to Your Word, to supply all of our need and we receive by faith the magnitude of Your provision. Provision, come to us! (Now, name your specific need, know that He knows it before you ask, and thank and praise Him for your and the team's provision.) Father, we thank You and praise You that You make a way for our independence-"furnished unto every good work, needing no outside aid or support." We call it done and thank You and praise You for it. In Jesus' Mighty Name! Scriptures to Meditate: Philippians 4:19 (AMP): And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP): And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient (possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation). Higher Fitness Challenge: Take time each day to declare God's provision in the areas that you may normally worry about for yourself and your team. Thank Him, praise Him and expect provision to manifest! And don't forget, an apple a day helps keep those sugar cravings away! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEALTH TOOLS FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESSHow well are you managing the financial resources God has entrusted to you? In this month's feature article, titled Money Made Simple, Mac Hammond explains how God has a good plan for you and your finances. "The hard truth is, having an overly complex life will cost you more than you can imagine. But the good news is that there's a way out that doesn't involve winning the lottery or dropping out of society. God has a plan for successfully managing life's resources," Hammond writes. "Simplifying our lives is a skill we all need to cultivate. By doing so we can get to know God better." You can read this insightful article now when you visit our Tools for Financial Success section at www.kcm.org. While you're there, take a look at some of the other valuable resources we have assembled in this section--just for you. You'll be glad you did. Visit us at www.kcm.org and remember...JESUS IS LORD! Kenneth Copeland Ministries Fort Worth, TX 76192-0001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISDOM Prov 18:20-21 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (KJV) In this it is important to notice that our belly is satisfied by the fruit(or reward) that comes out of our mouth, and what ever those words, or fruit that is spoken we will be filled by them good or bad. Did you know that Death and Life are actually in the power of those fruit filled words that come out of our mouth. And for those who love it we will reap what fruit of the seed we have planted. So choose life and live by the fruit of the spirit of LOVE. Lets take a look at what the 2 fruits consist of there is darkness and light. Gal 5:19-23 The (fruit or) acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV) Eph 5:8-11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (NIV)

WISDOM
Something to remember:
That in Adam we were MADE SINNERS. And in the second Adam who is Jesus.
We were MADE RIGHTEOUS, by the works of Jesus, NOT BY ANYTHING THAT WE DID OR DIDN'T DO. So know that you are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Rom 8:3-6
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; (NIV)
Gal 5:18-23
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV)

Thank you so much for posting these! I am really in need of some motivation in all of these areas of my life. Maybe with that, I will be able to get back on track with my weight loss! My husband is a minister so he preaches at me, but I need the scripture shown to me! And this was perfect! I hope you continue this thread. I really need it!

Welcome Peg. Glad you stopped by, this thread if for helping us to do this with the support of our Lord, and working towards the goal of doing what we need to do to be free from the bondage of the things that have gotten us to where we are today. Thanks again for letting me know that you are here and reading. Wrote prayers for a friend request. I am going to post them because it is a prayer that we can use for all the attacks that still come on us from the curse, we need to learn how to walk in the truth of our Lord so we can bring glory to our Father in all we do. This first one if for a young man in the military. If you pray any of these prayers in agreement then I would ask that you pray them out loud. Feel free to change the names if you would like to use for your family or friends or even you. Thanks. Father you said if we ask believing that we receive then it is done. (Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when ye pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.) So for Jeromy we ask that he be stationed right here at home, in the good ole USA. Father he has already done the 2 years in Iraq. Father we petition you and stand in agreement with Jeromy that he is stationed where he desires in his heart. Jeromy you need to speak out loud and let all of us praying for you, know exactly where you want to be stationed. Reason being that if you have every one agreeing for different places then you want then there will be mixed confusion and that is not of God. So please let us know exactly where you want so we can stand with you in agreement, and not work against your will your desire. And Father we thank you now because we are standing with Jeromy and we all call this place that he wants into being. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.
Rom 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. (NIV) Listen to what God said; he calls things that be not as though they were, and look what John say's we will do this to. John 14:11-14 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (NIV)And all Gods children said AMEN and AMEN This 2nd prayer is for anyone who suffers with any sickness, disease, anything that comes because of the curse. It is time we release the promises of God and His truth into our life. It may be a fact that some of us are sick, in lack, confusied. But the truth is we are healed and we do have complete Salvation so that we can live on this earth in the fullness of Christ, and the way our Father meant us to live, here and now. So fact is we on this forum have weight issues but the TRUTH is GODS WORD. So in truth we already win. Now we are going to learn how to walk in truth instead of the lie. Father we thank you for Larry Lenser, we thank you that you bring peace to Larry and search the heart of Larry and give him the desire of his heart. I ask that you would take the darkness of that cancer and cast it into the pit of hell where it belongs and fill that empty space with your light, and bring a peace, to Larry that stops the pain caused from this, and at this time because of the pain and suffering that he is in, his desire may be to go home and be with you, and he may be at peace with that, but if he is to be healed and live a long full life, then show him the way to a miracle and take this curse from him that he live and in life bring glory to you. Father I don't speak my will for Larry's life, I speak your will for him. You said that by your stripes we were healed, and that we are healed. Ps 103: 1-5 gives us the benefit of being your child. So I call upon the truth of your word, that it go forth and do a work in Larry. If Larry should still choose to go home an be with you, that is great, but he still does not have to suffer and be in pain because of the curse, you broke that curse when you went to the cross, so help Larry to except the truth of your word and heal him in Jesus name. SATAN RIGHT NOW I TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THIS CURSE OF CANCER ON LARRY, I SPEAK HEALTH AND HEALING INTO HIS BODY, I COMMAND YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS TO LEAVE HIS BODY AND THAT LARRY HAS A CHOICE TO MAKE, YOU CAN NOT STEAL THAT FROM HIM, AND IF IT IS HIS CHOICE TO GO HOME AND BE WITH OUR FATHER THEN YOU STILL HAVE TO LISTEN AND YOU CAN NOT CAUSE HIM PAIN AND SUFFERING NO MORE, THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS SET HIM FREE, SO GO BACK TO HELL WHERE YOU COME FROM AND GO BUG SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T GIVE A HOOT. YOU KNOW THAT JESUS SAID THAT IF WE RESIST YOU, THEN YOU HAVE TO FLEE. SO RIGHT NOW WE, THAT IS EVERYONE READING THIS AND SPEAKING THIS, IS IN AGREEMENT, SO BEAT IT BUSTER YOU ARE HISTORY IN THE LIFE OF LARRY LENSER, AND YOUR WILL CAN NO LONGER STAND AND WE ALL WHO BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH STAND IN THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND SPEAK TRUTH IN TO LARRY. So be it, as God's word has said: Larry the desire of your heart wins. IN JESUS NAME WE SPEAK SALVATION TO YOU. If you confess Jesus and believe God has raised him from the dead, then you can go home with our Father when it is time, but today I speak the rest of SALVATION into your life, which is: health, healing, prosperity, safety, protection, saved, every thing that you need to have victory in this life. Everything we have been given in Christ, because of what Jesus did for us. So Larry in short I say BE HEALED IN JESUS NAME. Isa 53:5-6 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we ARE healed. All we like sheep have gone astray;WE HAVE turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (KJV)
1 Pet 2:24-25 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye WERE healed. For ye WERE as sheep going astray; but ARE NOW returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (KJV)
Ps 103:1-6
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. (KJV)
So I hope you get these two scriptures, they are truth. Notice it say's we are and we were, so that means WE STILL BE. SO COME ON IT MAY BE A FACT THAT LARRY HAS CANCER OR EVEN YOU OR ME HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR BODIES, BUT WHO CARES. THE TRUTH IS HE/WE WAS AND IS HEALED. YES AMEN. SO BE IT COME LORD JESUS AND DO A WORK IN US ALL AMEN. AS of 7/21/06. Larry has now graduated to glory and is feasting with our Father. Praise God and thank you Father that you give Larrys family Peace in this time of grieving. Thank you Lord..

Good morning Father God, Peg, and any one else who may read this. HEALTH If you check my weight chart in red at the bottom please don't let the weigh in on July 17 scare you. I have been struggling with no motivation or desire to be OP since 5/28/06. I stayed at one place only gained and lost the same 4-5 lbs weekly. Then the camping trip went on was impossible for me, didn't even try. I ate all the things I wanted. Watermelon, chips, hot dogs, hamburgers. But I drank my water. Until last Sunday I didn't have any water, and even so I was lucky to do 24 oz of water a day anyhow for those 2 weeks. So of course my weigh in was with a 10 lb. gain. TESTAMONEY During this time I had bought some magazines. Because of some of the articles I wanted to read. They matched a lot of MT teachings on why we are to eat certain foods together and the ones that help to lose in certain areas of our body. Well that just got me motivated and re-awakened my spirit into the excitement of eating right again, I didn't even want to stay at the camp ground any longer I wanted to come home and just get OP I am so excited. Of course the church services I went to played a bigger part then anything that I even read. I visited a church that I have wanted to visit for a long time. I was only 20 some miles from it so was able to go. Other wise I am 80 some miles. Anyhow the teachings of the Kingdom were so alive and real and the presents of God was all around. They didn't even pray for anyone to be healed, and during the time of praise I raised my arms and my left arm which they say is frozen, and the dr. was going to go in and break it loose. I can now move it any way I want. Anyhow I want to do this for the GLORY OF GOD that others will see His work in me and want to enter the Kingdom that our Father has provided for us here and now. I look forward to walking in the abundance that Jesus brought for us to live on this earth. Which that abundance is in Salvation. WEALTH Salvation, when we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead then when we die we will go to heaven. But he even gave us more, for before we die, that in the abundance is the fullness of SALVATION = saved, deliverance, delivered, health, healed, made whole, prosperity, protection, safety, and more if you look up all the words salvation and saved in the concordance. You will find all of this is for us to live on this earth, here and now. Some where did we get lost. Sorry people but the old religious teachings had a lot to do with it, but even so the mysteries of the Kingdom were hid for such a time as this. They are being revealed to us in this time. Now is the time that we begin to walk in the truth of the Kingdom as God meant from the beginning. More on this as I go. HEALTH Now to finish on the 10 lb. gain, I believe it mostly was do to lack of water. And when I weighed in yesterday, I had dropped 9 lbs. so I know now that it was a water gain and now what goes after this is fat, THANK YOU JESUS. So now highly motivated more then even when I began I can and will give my body as a living sacrifice to our King. I will walk in his salvation as a reward for the works that I do to bring Glory and Honor to His Name and His Word. Praise the Lord, our King, our DADDY. I love Him so much, and I want to give Him all of me. WISDOM Shalom, and Soteria, to those who read this, and don't know SHALOM is peace God's kind of peace that is Strongs concordance. shalowm (shaw-lome'); or shalom (shaw-lome'); from 7999; safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:
and SOTERIA is Salvation Once again SHALOM and SOTERIA to all who read and receive the Gods word of truth not mine. Have a great day and you will win in CHRIST.

HEALTH GOOD MORNING FOUND THIS WHILE READING ANOTHER THREAD GOOD STUFF. 7/19/2006
Subscription: From an article I read recently - by jwilson62 | Motivation & Support jwilson62 at 7/19/2006 3:27:37 PM
From an article I read recently
I found the following article in the May 2006 edition of Good Houskeeping and thought we could all benefit from the words of wisdom, or just be motivated by it:
Sleep more, weigh less... and eight other surprising slim-down tricks
by Jim Karas
1. Get a good night"s rest. According to a study from Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Stanford University, the less you snooze, the less leptim(a powerful hormone) your body is likely to produce. What"s that got to do with shedding pounds? Leptin helps promote weight loss in two ways: It discourages you from eating (by sending the message Hey, stop munching - you"re full! to your stomach), and it rouses you to expend energy. More evidence that sleep deprivation interferes with droppong pounds: The hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, is higher in people who don"t get enough zzz"s. (If you don"t sleep soundly one night, try to squeeze in a nap the following day-the hormones are affected by how much shut-eye you get in a 24-hour period.)
2. Turn off the radio. When a restaurant wants its customers to finish their food and go, it plays fast music - as quick as 120-130 beats per minute (which is the tempo used in most step classes). And for good reason: The speedier the tune, the faster (and the more) you"ll tend to eat. So before any meal, either switch off your stereo, or put on a slow, soothing album.
3. Never skip a meal. Ever. Ignoring breaksfast, say, isn"t going to save big calories. Trust me. You"ll become so favenous, you"ll likely gobble down whatever you can get your hands on at the folowing meal. The reasons: Physically, your blood sugar plummets, making you feel famished; emotionally, you may feel entitled to consume more. Plus, when you deprive yourself of food, your body thinks there isn"t a source of nourishment readily available. As a result, your metabolism moves at a snail"s pace. And we all know the slower your metabolism, the harder it"ll be to lose weight.
4. Leave the car behind. The numbers say it all: Your risk of obesity increases by 6%for every hour you spend in your automobile each day. similarly, every mile you walk on a daily basis translates into an 8% reduction in the risk of obesity. How to get that exercise in? when you"re on the phone (especially with your chatty mother-in-law), pace back and forth. To really knock off some calories, throw in a few lunges or squats. And when you"re watching TV, make sure you get up and move around during th commercial breaks. Climb up and down a flight of stairs or speed-walk from one end of the house to the other. Going to the mall? Fo.llow my shopping rule: no escalators, no elevators. Period.
5. Get some sun. YOur body needs sunlight to produce a very essentioal feel-good hormone called serotonin, which may lessen your cravings for sugar and other carbs. So when you start longing for sweets, go outside instead, even in the cold weather. It"s also a good idea to keep the drapes and shutters open during the day.
6 Don"t store cookies and other treats in glass jars. If you keep fatty foods our of sight, it"ll be much easier to keep them out of mind. Experts at Cornell University determined that women ate more Hershey"s Kisses when the candies were on their desks than when they were in opaque containers or placed farther away.
7. Set your fork down after every bite. It takes around 20 miutes for your stomack to send signals to the brain that it"s full. So when you eat too quickly, your body doesn"t have time to recognize that it"s satiated. The consequence: You consume a lot more. To slow down, you can also try switching to chopsticks (they make it much harder to eat huge bites). Or try this esperiment in food appreciation: Using a 30 second timer, take a bite only when the bell rings. You"ll see how eating slowly will perk up your taste buds.
8.Flick on all the lights. The dimmer the room, the more you"ll eat. Why? One theory is that low lights make you feel more relaxed and less self-conscious. On the flip side, research suggests that the brighter your dining area, the less food you"ll likely consume. So consider adjusting the lighting in places where you eat most often.
9. Lose the anger. If you don"t keep this emotion under control, it can make you fat. How? Getting riled raises levels of cortison (a stress hormone) in your body, and that increase can cause you to gain weight. Plus, research suggests that the angrier you get - and the more frequently you get angry - the more likely you"ll be to put on poinds around your waist. (Hostility also ups your risks of cardiovascular problems.) So the next time someone pushes your button, tak ten deep breaths and ask yourself, Is this really that big a deal? Another trick I teach my clients: Close your eyes, slowly press your thumbs into your temples, and message the frustrating moment away.

HEALTH GOOD MORNING FOUND again ANOTHER THREAD GOOD STUFF, LOTS OF GOOD TIPS COMING IN THIS MORNING. Woops had a repeated quote from the last post. Just eraised it. ORIGINAL: Ellenor
I'll let you in on what I know:
1) drink 1/2 of your water by lunch and get in the rest AT LEAST TWO hours BEFORE bedtime or you WILL be up peeing!
2) get a 1.5 or 1 liter bottle and keep rubber bands on it to give you a visual of how much you drink. Take one off for each bottle
3) TrueLemon.com is a wonderful site where you can get powdered lemon (on plan!) to add to your water. It'll still count as water!
4) Herbal tea counts as water!
5) Add chemicals to your water, and it's a BEVERAGE! and DOESN'T count as water! Splenda, Stevia, xylitol, crystal light, etc.
6) The bigger the bottle, the less often you'll have to refill it. It's easy to forget to refill the bottle.. believe me!
7) Drink your water with your meal, it helps your body metabolize what you're eating. It's what you'd grab if food was stuck in your throat!
8) If you chug your water, expect to go to the bathroom A LOT an hour later!!
9) Dasani Water HAS SALT in it, so when you grab water at the store, CHECK THE CONTENTS AND NUTRITION FACTS!!
10) if you try to chug your water all at once, drinking all of that water won't work as well for you! SO get it in THROUGH-OUT the day!!

This one is off of its a mind set. So not sure but I think I will put it under HEALTH, WEALTH(of knowledge)and WISDOM ORIGINAL: JCaldwell
Jeanie, just gotta share this, jumped on the scale...no movement, did a quick check of the inches...no noticable change, pulled a dress out of the closet that I couldn't wear 2 weeks ago, was tight last week....and guess what!!!! It fits and I feel great in it!!! Who cares what the scale says - I'm soooooo excited. Gotta get off here, stayed home this morning to get some paperwork done and haven't done a switchin' thing. Catch ya later - Janine
I hear you on got to get off of here, me to not getting anything done. You know these last 5 or 6 weeks staying the same and measurements can't tell much. I don't know if I am not measuring in the same place or what. But I like you are going by my cloths that were tight now I either have to take them in or by new ones. I love being able to where my tank tops with out a cover up.
Since I read something on here about when out walking make sure you look straight ahead because it will help your posture but it also pulls your stomach in/up. I do that and I can see the difference in the cloths I put on. I even where shorts with them and I have in the past hated seening my self in them. I think it is awesome that I feel good about what is happening to my body and I no longer care what others think. Or should I say what I think others think.
By changing my minds picture I am finding that when I looked at other people and there size it was my judgment of them that I was thinking that was the way they saw me. Now I see others looking good no matter what size and finding that is changing my stinkin thinkin about myself. So when it say's; quote:
Matt 7:1-2 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.(KJV)
That's the same as me pointing my finger at them and if I look at my hand there are 3 fingers pointing back at me. Duh. Thanks Janine for what ever you said, because I didn't see it quite like this until I just wrote it. So I do see big changes in our mind change now, more then ever and it will work even better now. WOW.

WEALTH never sure if it is wealth or wisdom but I think this touches on both, there is wisdom in it and loads of wealthy information. WOW. "The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination."
Deborah James
Business Consultant
WISDOM/KNOWLEDGE July 20 - Give More--Not Less "There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that with holdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." (Proverbs 11:24) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When money gets tight, it's always a temptation to cut down on your giving. After all, it seems like the logical thing to do. Don't do it! You'll end up cutting off the flow of God's financial blessings just when you need them most. I faced that kind of situation just a few years ago. This ministry had fallen behind financially--one million dollars to be exact. Gloria and I had been living by faith for 20 years at that time. We knew firsthand that God would meet our needs--"according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19). We'd seen God prove that over and over again, not only in our personal lives but in the life of our ministry as well. Yet this particular time, all the prayers and the faith that had brought us victory before just didn't seem to get the job done. In fact, as time went on, the situation grew worse instead of better. By the end of the year our deficit had grown to be a million dollars. Frustrated and weary, I finally went to God one day and laid the situation out before Him. "Lord," I said, "You see the condition of this ministry. I need a million dollars just to break even." "Oh no, you don't!" the Lord replied. I could hardly believe it. How could He possibly be telling me that I didn't need a million dollars? Hadn't He looked at the books? Hadn't He talked to my accountant? I was stumped. All I could figure was that I'd misunderstood something. So I went through it all again. Again He said, "Oh no, you don't." Despite my initial confusion, as I kept asking and listening, I began to understand what the Lord was telling me. He was saying that the red ink on the books wasn't the only thing wrong. There was a bigger problem behind it. Then He showed me what I needed to do was to start giving ten percent of the ministry's income into ministering to the poor. To the natural mind that looked like no solution at all. How do you solve a deficit by giving away what money you've got? But when I applied that solution, the million dollar deficit began to disappear. Remember that next time the devil tries to put the squeeze on you. Break his hold on your finances by giving more instead of less. It won't be long until the prosperity of God is poured out on you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scripture Study: 1 Kings 17:1-16 Kenneth Copeland Ministries Fort Worth, TX 76192-0001 A little something extra for you. A friend shared with me a little something I hadn't thought about when I posted this bottom note "God wanted me to tell you" so I want to claify it today. I did not write this, and my friend who sent it to me, only was wanting to give me a lift and encouragment to think on good things that can happen. And I chose to give this to you for the same reason. So with out futher say, this is to just help you get your mind off of all the bad things that could be happening to you today or this year. In Christ and Salvation that Jesus gave us it can only get better. So have a great life. Love in Him and if my friend should read this that brought it to my attention. I want to tell you thank you. GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU
It shall be well with you this year. No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not succeed. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year. For the remaining months of the year, All your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings sorrows and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down. I knocked at heaven' s door this morning, God asked me... My child! what can I do for you? And I said, Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message...

UNDERSTANDING
Right now I am understanding that sickness, pain, suffering, debt, wars. These things are all a FACT and important to know that a FACT is subject to change.
Then even more so is to know that TRUTH never changes. So we can say it is a FACT that I am sick, or broke. But the TRUTH is God says I am healed, and prosperous. So in the inner man I have been made whole, healed, and do well, and need to get that image in my heart. And it may be a fact that I am sick and broke but I also have to remember that Greater is he that is in me then he that is in the world. The Truth is Heb 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.(KJV)So then if we Matt 6:33 seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(KJV)
Wow! FACT is subject to change
TRUTH NEVER CHANGES. AWESOME WHAT an AWESOME FATHER WE HAVE.
Ps 34:18-19 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. (KJV)
This is awesome the FACT being that many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the TRUTH is the LORD delivers us out of them all

Pastor spoke about the things going on in Jerusalem, and the reminder that we should be praying daily for Jerusalem. Here is 2 translations of that passage in Ps 122: Ps 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go to the house of the LORD.
6-9 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you." For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. (NLT) Ps 122:1, 6-9
1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.(KJV)

Good morning FATHER, and PEG. I am a shouting this morning. I am so happy, happy, happy. As you will see. A little something the Lord put on my heart this morning. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(KJV)
That scripture if you look up the words in Heb. can read this way for any area of our life:
Rom 12:2 Don't be like the picture you see in this world or in your mirror: but be changed, "metamorphosed" by the renovating of those old visions/or pictures on your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Revised by RWC) that's me. I already mentioned my 10 lb gain and the fact that I didn't drink my water while camping. Then my first day back OP and drank 150 oz of water. I dropped 9 lbs. Well being OP my week end wasn't good but in all I had a FANTASTIC weigh in. Plus I am changing my AVI this morning.  I JUST HAD TO TOOT MY HORN. Thanks everyone for the encouragement. to the image I had on my mind.

Jeanie, thank you for the Lord's promises and precious encouragement. Nothing in this world or out of it compares to HIM. He's what got me where I am today, and He will get me through this for a lifetime because He loved me before I loved Him.
Having the head knowledge is one thing, but we must all learn to apply it in our daily lives. I thank Jesus for you and for these precious ladies who have struggled one way or another and whose goals are to lose the weight, to change their lives and be a healthier, happier person. What good are we to others, if we're not good to ourselves. I wish everyone well and keep up the good work. This thread is a keeper! Thank you, Jeanie! Love, Pat

Pat thanks for stopping by. God is so good and his mercy does indure forever. After this weekend, and the things I learned thanks to you. My daughter and I today have talked and shared and it was great she is such an encouragement to me. If you have looked in my album she is my oldest and she does not seem to have a weight problem. She did until a head injury in 90. And she came out of her comma was retrained to eat, walk, what things ment. Anyhow when they retrained her how to do things they also trained her how to eat. She was a fat baby and grew up doing all kinds of dieting until after her accident. Anyhow she is the dark haired one on my right. I may even have her name on there it Teresa. Anyhow she had been to camp with her youngest son which it was his first time. She had a ball but she just was amazed at all the Christians that did not really know they could have a relationship with our Father. She said they complained so much she couldn't stand it. Said "I thought camp was for the kids and mom it was awful. But point being. She why are they like that and these people go to church every sunday mom. So I shared with her what my mom always told me. Isn't it funny how things we were told always come back to help now. My mother always said that people grew up in churches and religion. They only know what they heard in church, they just excepted what was said and never searched any further. Most still only go be cause they were taught to because they want to be assured they make it to heaven. A lot of them never new they could truly have a relationship because they were just content in doing nothing and seeking no further.
God rest her soul. She never even knew half of what we would know today. Other then it is because of my mom's continued search for the kingdom that I am where I am today. When my mother died, my aunts and uncles who are still in some of the old time churches, no pointing fingers so I will not name the denomination. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have the heritage I have. Anyhow, when she died they said never agreed with HER way of going to these meetings and the teachings she sat under but you know those things that she believed brought her, joy, peace and her rebelious kids home and look at that one now. OF course Pat you know which kid that is, huh. Anyhow here I go again I best get I am glad you stopped to say hi. Blessings

Good morning all The Lord put this on my heart as I was sharing with someone who needed healing so I am putting it on these post's this morning for anyone who needs it. Be blessed. Mark 16:17-20 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe in my name; shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (KJV) Sickness, being broke, headaches are a FACT and Facts are subject to change. The TRUTH never changes. This is TRUTH these signs shall follow them that believe in my name;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
So you all if you agree with that, then as you read this Lay hands on the screen as a symbol of laying hands on our sick. And In the Name of Jesus BE HEALED, so be it as Jesus said, it is done unto you. Rise and shout for joy, the Lord is at work in you. You have just been saved, according to
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(KJV)
the word SAVED in this scripture saved in Greek is Sozo meaning MADE WHOLE, HEALED, DO WELL. Don't take my word for it look it up. Now go and walk in your salvation which means soteria (so-tay-ree'-ah);feminine of a derivative of 4990 as (properly, abstract) noun; rescue or safety (physically or morally): KJV-- deliver, health, salvation, prosperity, save, saving.
John 8:31-32 Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
(NIV)
So be FREE in CHRIST, Yes, Yes AMEN. So be it as Jesus has said it is done unto us YES AMEN.

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
(2 Corinthians 6:17)

We're surrounded by a world which is ruled for the most part by Satan. How can we avoid getting caught up in it? How can we stand apart?
You'll find the answer in John 17:17. There Jesus was speaking to the Father about all those who would believe on Him. "Sanctify them through thy truth," He said. "Thy word is truth." Sanctify means "to separate unto." So Jesus was saying, "Separate them by the Word." The Word separates!
When you initially believed the Word of God, you were born again. You were separated spiritually from the kingdom of darkness and separated to the kingdom of Light. Now that's where a lot of people stop. They let the Word of God do its initial separating work and then go right on living like everybody else. Spiritually, they're still separated from death. But physically and mentally, they're up to their necks in it. They're poor. They're sick. They're worried. They're confused. They're upset. In other words, they're just like everyone else in the world.
But if you'll give the Word of God first place in your life, it will continue to separate you from the poverty and the anxiety and the sickness and the hatred and the darkness of your old habitat.
There's something else that the Word of God will do for you too. It will not only separate you from the things of this world, it will separate you to the things of God.
You can't simply separate yourself from any old destructive habit without separating yourself to something else. You can't turn away from the things of the world unless you turn to something stronger. I'm telling you, you can scream and squall and kick the altar bench and everything else trying to get rid of the sin in your life. You can cry, "Dear God, take this sin away from me." But all the begging in the world won't separate you from your sin. It's the Word that does it!
Make a decision to give the Word first place in your life. Make it a quality decision, a decision from which there is no retreat. Lock into the Word and let the Word do its work. Let it separate you from the things of the world and to the things of God.

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

3. Growing old is inevitable .. growing UP is optional.
4. Do the math .. count your blessings.
5. Faith is the ability to not panic.
6. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
7. If you worry, you didn't pray . If you pray,
don't worry.
8. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling
home everyday.
9. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be
bent out of shape.
10. The most important things in your house are the
people.
11. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still.
God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
12. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. ;
13. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and He
can certainly use you!

This is our time to walk in the power and authority God has for His people. The prophet Haggai declared that the glory of the latter house would be greater than that of the former. Jesus confirmed that word when He said, "Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12)" It is time for us to walk in the fullness of God's power- it is time to enter the ‘third day.'
