Hi! I have moved house this year and find I have free Joyce on tv. Yay! Also, tomorrow I'm just about to do a 101 Things To Do In 1001 Days challenge. You can see a blog on my page with my list on. So one thing is to read 5 books about health/weight loss. I'm going to start off with one of Joyce's books. I recall she suggested tackling one area each month? A very good time of year to be re-reading it then.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.

oh good. I hope to get to now you better!

Just saying hello to everyone and hope you are having a great day. I haven't been on Spark people for quite awhile until now.

We look forward to your participation.

I am not really new here either. but this team seems like it kind of tired.. i thought I would see if I could perk it up...some

Hi I'm not really new to Joyce Meyers, but I haven't been here for awhile I haven't been getting my SP mails for a long time. not sure why? But I am going to try harder to get back here everyday or every other day, to check in on any news God Bless you all and be safe

hi Tina. Please tell us about yourself.

hi to newbies and anyone reading this. I did a 35 minute treadmill work out yesterday at the rec room downstairs. This is my 3 rd time there.

Hi, I'm Tina from Indiana.

hi Amy, have you got to know anyone yet?

How are U.

Tell us more about yourself

Hi everyone. New member here. I am a christian gal living in the mid west. I restarted my spark journey this December of 2016 as well, but am now glad it's a brand new year. I love listening to Joyce Meyer sermons, and have been a lot lately. She is so inspiring and I love her books as well. I look forward to chatting with other members and checking more into this team. God bless!



~Amy

I set up a topic "January Walking Challenge" in the Games & Challenges Forum (near the bottom of the Team page).

I'm sure Cherriet can do this.

Well perhaps we can just set up a thread where people can check in with exercise done each day. I know people like to do different things. Even if we were all doing the same type of exercise, like walking for instance, even then some like to count minutes, some count miles, etc.

So just somewhere to check in with how we're each doing on our own exercise plan might be good?

hi, welcome !!!! from livelygirl2 ( Sue). I'm so glad to have a newbie. I hope you tell us about yourself too. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I've done this several occasions but not daily. Actually I can tell my clothes are got tight, but our scale is broke. So, yes, I need to get better on track. I got a new fitbit. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm hoping it works completely. My spouse put a load of clothes in the washer, the other day. It was in the pocket. It is working, but I have to investigate it further.

You've inspired ME. Maybe we could start a walking challenge with the team.

Hi - I'm re-starting my efforts to get fit and healthy on Wednesday when things are back to normal after Christmas. Starting with a new habit - 1.5 hours walking each day. Joyce lost 17 pounds over 6 months just by making that one change. I'm worth making the time to do it.

oh great, jump on it!!!

My name is Dar and I've been here before so now I'm back just wanted to let all of you know.
Dar

oh how wonderful to see a active member going aboard. WELCOME ! We are trying to get his board going once more.

Hi, my name is Jill and I live in Central Pennsylvania, close to the capital Harrisburg. I recently came back to SP and was very excited to find this team so I decided to join. I love the Lord and I also love Joyce. I have been blessed for the past 4 years to be a a volunteer for the Joyce Meyer Conference at the Giant Center in Hershey Pa in August. I will be there this year also. I'm looking forward to working with you all in this journey of faith and health!

well GREAT! thanks for the intro. My brother Bruce is into Ham radio. He has been involved for decades. You sound like you have plenty of interesting things to do. That is good to stay busy and enjoy yourself! lots of ways.

I lost my best friend last year due to side effects of diabetes.I really know it can be slowed down, cured or maintained. She was only willing to do medication.

Hi everyone. I'm Elayne and I was here once a while ago, then thinned out my teams. I missed this one so here I am again. I'm 67, married to my best friend, and have a feline all black fur kid named Max. I 've been a saxophonist for 58 yrs. and God and I play in His Episcopal Church's orchestra every Sunday and in our community Symphony orchestra. Our final concert for the season is this Sat. night.

My hobbis are: Playing my sax, reading, doing cross word puzzles, and now adult coloring. My husband and I are licensed amateur radio operators (Hams) and have talked all over the world, including space. We talked to two of the astronauts years ago as they were flying over Fl. for a few seconds. I'm not kidding!

Looking forward to learning more about Joyce's teachings here and have somje accountability so I can stay on track. I have type 2 diabetes but don't need medicine yet. I also have asthma, but God provides me with all the air I need to continue to play through and for him.

That's about it for now.

Here's a link to my blog that has a solo God and I played in church in October of last year. It's Just A Closer Walk With Thee. Enjoy.

Hi Dar,

I did the 3030. Right now they are sending me a two week study thing on Stressing less.

It's a short thing. It has some links for brief articles and also a three minute blurb.

I think it is based on the new book, Overload. I expect to see it brought up in her new magazine.

I'm back were I belong. It's been almost a year since I've been here. So I wanted you all to know that I'm back. My name is Darlene but like to be called Dar. I still live in Tacoma WA.
I thought the catholic church was for me but found out different and didn't like their teachings so I'm back to my old church here in Tacoma and now I'm watching Joyce everyday. She has the 30/30 challenge going on right now so I'm going to do that.
Dar

hi Jody, Great your here.

It will be good when we get others to come back since we have a leader again. She has several ideas that she is working on.

I live in N. CA , a way from you. Wecome!!

Hi team, I have joined this team a while ago but have not been very active. I love watching Joyce Meyer and I have most of her books including her new one Overload, which is really good also. I am looking forward to the team.

Since I've recently taken on the responsibility as Team leader, I'll share a little about myself.

It was a result of watching/listening to Joyce Meyer on TV & tapes for almost a year that my husband & I came back to/renewed our relationship with the Lord.

Because she speaks about her own foibles & mistakes, I feel she is SHARING the Word with me, not preaching AT me.

So, after the death of this team's wonderful leader, Irene (DIDMIS), I just did not want to see this team die.

This thread isn't just meant for new members. Since this is a new endeavor for me, it would be great to have everyone introduce yourself so that we could get to know one another and make this page alive again.

hi, are you coming to our new study?

Thankyou for getting back to me , sorry for taking things the wrong way . God Bless you Sister and lets get in to His Word . & Brother in Christ . Gary

oh dear, this is one of the issues with e-mail and online stuff. Do not take me off your page. I was only explaining why I don't always add every single person that puts me on theirs immediately.

Since I have been here since 2011, I notice there are people here that list 300-1000's as friends. At times I correspond with individuals a bit until we start to communicate.

I do have people on my list that may not represent all my personal values, but we have something in common, or I want to help support them.

However, once I was in another group which was on another website. She seemed nice and likeable. At one point she started disagreeing with some doctrine. I have no problem with that, when we can discuss it like intelligent adults. As a matter of fact, it makes it more interesting.

I do like it when someone can try and support their belief, even if we don't see it that way.

Everyone knows we may have had life experiences and teachings.

We can tend to believe that most believers have more things in common, than differences
.
You only need a basic core to make one in God's family.

I do think this person was a Christian.

However, she crossed the line when she yelled and insulted others and was putting down various minorities in a mean way.

We didn't think it was biblical , or show the Lord's gracious kindness. We made several attempts to resolve this situation. Many were willing to have her stay, if she would just not do this and explain her opinion is a more reasonable manner.

I absolutely don't assume that most people act this way.

To all of you I missed who are new I you. Let's make this a team Joyce would be proud of. It takes each of us doing our part.

111480PJB Welcome to the team. Come in pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
Let's make this team one Joyce would be proud of as we all pull together.

Elayne

Welcome back. I have been mia as I have had some serious health issues. Come on in and let's make this a lively team.

TRISHAPOOH80 Welcome. I have been gone a long time because of illness. In fact they thought I was dying one night but a bunch came in to pray for me and God brought me through. Still have a lot of pain but trying to get caught up here.
Please join in and let's make this team work.
Irene

Also there is an author that is making waves, I heard of ... I think it is the Blood Sugar Solution....

Thanks for your encouragement on managing my diabetes with diet. I do drink a lot of water, so that's not a problem. I check my FBS every morning before I eat or drink anything. I am tracking all that I put into my mouth. I 'm positive that my A1C will be lower than 6.6 in Sept. Nothing is impossible with God's help.

I am new to the group. Love Joyce Meyer, so glad I found this group. I think this will be really helpful..

you can do it! Go for it. Good plan...

Dear SassySax: Remember you Type !! Diabetes is no fun but can be managed! I have a 6.5 A1/C as of now having had the disease since 1995. Do good now and you won't have to go on insulin. I'm not after all this time!

My A1/C has not always been that low but you have to deal with the numbers on a day to day basis. Check each morning and judge accordingly how to start out with breakfast.

Heads up-***drink your 8 glasses of water a day to efficiently flush your kidneys. Your goal to loose weight is great and even though you may only loose 1/4 pound a week, it still is on the down hill slide of the scale. .Relying on the Lord's strength when the going gets tough and prayers from others help so much...You are now on my prayer list...

She who praises the Lord with love and a song in her heart and adds music-Prays Thrice

Have a blessed week and Keep strong.

Angel Hugs, MBLee1

Hi everyone. I was here a long time ago probably under the name of angelbeliever. I am back once again under SassySax. Good to be back. As you can tell from my name, I play sax. I'm in a small orchestra every Sunday morning in an Episcopal Church.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 6 weeks ago and it's time to get serious about tracking my food and exercising in some way every day of the week. My goal is to have my A1C below 6.6% in September. I also have a goal to lose 10 pounds by Dec. of this year. With God as my partner all of my goals are possible.

Elayne

yes, good for you. There is also a group here for chair exercises. I believe they have additional exercises. Many of them have similar issues.

Glad your here.

New to Spark Team Forum...challenged by Joyce Meyer-Hi you-All-I am 73 and still trying to loose weight. From 298 to 240 and am at an impasse.. Being diabetic and having to watch a lot more of food categories because of having a short large bowl from surgery for colon cancer, but thankful I was not given a bowl bag!. For now I am Cancer Free. God's blessing in abundance. I can handle all my wrinkles-they are considered "SmileLlines."

I have been given the FODMAP Diet or BRA Diet,,I have a hard time exercising but finally got my computer able to do Sit and Be Fit exercise DVD and also found a site for 12 minute sit exercises-"HASfit seated exercise". Google or however you search to find the site. I use a walker so seated exercise are best for me and I am sure there a few more of us who are seniors with walkers out there that can benefit by this type of exercise.

Blessings and Hugs

MBLee1

oh good, another newbie! welcome!!!

Hello, I am new to the group. Love Joyce Meyer, so glad I found this group.

Keep chatting and let's support one another in prayer also. There is a prayer request topic and if you need prayer we are here to pray for body, soul and spirit. That is all a part of a healthy lifestyle.
Irene

hi to the other newbies. It's good to hear your come here. I agree with DIMIS that it is good to start again than stop doing the things we need to do.

to all the new ones and to the ones also who haven't been posting after the stop signs.
Becca your comment touched my heart. You said " I have gained back quite a bit of weight and feel pretty crummy about it but I can't change that now all I can do is move forward it. I'm hoping to find some support here". Don't feel crummy. Today is day one of another day. You never fail unless you fall and don't get up. We are a great group and will be here for you any way we can.
I'm just getting online today and what a wonderful surprise.
I have some of Joyce's books also, one in Spanish, as I taught it in my Spanish Sunday
School class.

Sweet lips had some health issues and asked me if I would be co-leader but she has not been heard from since then. I'm so sorry about that. I accepted as I didn't want the team to be terminated because of no leader input. I was already co-leader of 4 teams.

Yes, now that we have new ones I will put the 30-30 back up as a sticky. It is super.

I've been here once before and now I'm back. Just wanted to let you all know I'm doing fine and I have this darn cold that will not go away. I do have some of Joyce's books and sometime I watch her on tv and most of the time I really want to see her in person. I've seen her in person once before and now she will be in Tacoma again this coming fall and I'm planning to go and see her again and buy some of her things.
You all know that I lost my husband going on 10 yrs next month and moved to Tacoma 5 yrs ago this past Feb. And now my youngest daughter and her husband and daughter is living with me in a one bedroom apt but planning to move downstairs in a two bedroom apt soon but don't know when doctors orders cause of my lower back and my knees. So far I've lost 20 pounds but need to loose more.
Dar

Hi here! welcome to a good place.

AUDSMI85 we you to the team. Although I have read the Bible many times, sometimes in English and sometimes in Spanish, I learn something every time I read it.

Hi, I'm new to the group and SP. Excited to be here and am really in need of weight loss support and accountability. Blessings to all. - Audra

That's great! I hope you like the 3030. Anyone who doesn't have a program or ideas for the new year, it's a good one. I did it last year.

Now I am working on the Fresh Air Book and the 21 Days to Fitness. They are both written by believers.

Let us hear how you like it.

Dar I just joined and thank you

I got the info that you want. Go to joycemeyer.org/biblestudy that is all you do and sign up.
Dar
And tell me if you started it and we can go from there.

Dar What is this 30 30 challenge, and is it here on SP? I got to see Joyce in 2002 in Little Rock AR. She was in Springfield MO. May of 2010, but I still had 2 at home, and was having some stressing and couldn't be driving back and forth that much (I didn't think I could) So I missed her I really enjoyed getting to see here I hope to again someday Sorry if I went on, but happy to meet you and would like to hear more about your challenge and anything else you would like to talk about God Bless you and to a Happy New Year and a new look on life,well that's also 1 for me
