  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You look absolutely great!

I just showed my fiance your picture...and he was amazed! He asked how you did it...and you said "the natural way" ! I hope its not a battle to NOW stay in shape for you...

It is a healthier life style to keep weight off, however if you have weight problems in your family, it might be tough at times to maintain an "ideal weight". I think the power of meditating on what you believe to be your true self image helps...but if you are meant to be heavy or heavier...don't be hard on yourself. You look beautiful to me and I know to others as well---either way you feel best about yourself----its your inner person and your health and your spirit that matters above all!!!



I used to have great problems at keeping weight off in my teens and early twenties. I never invested in any exercise salon or popular diet program. I made myself go for walks everyday, and made myself fresh low calorie vegetable soups to snack on. That always worked the best, besides avoiding all processed foods--- all cake and cookies and rich breads, and all fried foods.

Peace!

Affectionately in Christ!!!! You go girl!!!

Wow!!! Thanks for all of the replies and compliments! I didn't expect that. I haven't even checked on this thread!

It took me about a year to lose the weight. I've actually lost more weight than what my goal weight is supposed to be. I've maintaned this since May of 2004. I do a lot of exercise, and haven't slipped into old habits.

Taste and See that The Lord is Good!
