Hello dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. Well, I am so blessed to say the Lord has been good to me. I am losing again and am almost at 110lbs lost as of this morning. Only a few 1/10ths of a pound to go. And I fit in 8/10 slacks today! Never and I mean never in my wildest dreams did I think I would fit in a 10 at this weight. HE is so faithful to us as we seek Him for wisdom in all areas of our lives. I pray that as we each approach Thanksgiving that we remember the biggest blessing of all. The Lord Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made in order to bring us into His family. My love and thanks to each of you for your encouragement and advice and prayers along this almost 7month journey into weight loss. In His love and grace, Joan M

Congratulations on the pants size. That is awesome. I will be thrilled if I get to size 16. 14 is a dream. That is the size I was in high school, when I had my girlish figure, before the babies and the weight went on. Keep up the great work. Hugs, Trish

Joan, Congratulations on the new size. Doesn't it feel like sometimes we need to pinch ourselves when things like this happen. It feels like a dream! Best wishes, Di

Di...yes I am still amazed at much I have changed physically and emotionally. I am not a recluse anymore. I don't feel self conscious all the time in public. Di...I love that you care for Hospice patients. I was the caregiver for my mother-in-law for 4 years when she was diagnosed w/breast cancer that had spread to the bone. I loved her so much and we lived with her until she passed. It was the hardest thing I ever did but the most blessed. I would crawl in bed with her every morning and have coffee and leave my baby girl in the bed while I fixed breakfast for her. I will pray for you as you minister to your patients and their families. My hospice nurses were my best friends from church. I was so blessed. In Christ, Joan M

Joan, Thank you for the words of encouragement with my hospice patients and your lovely story of your experience with it. You are such a loving and compassionate person to have done that for your m-i-l. She was so blessed to have had you to care for her and support her through her journey to the next realm. I so dearly love my patients but I also become so very attached to my families. I really think that I spend the majority of my time getting the family ready for the events at hand. Usually the patient is more adjusted and ready for the Lord to take over. The healing is with the family members. Thanks again. In his name, Di
