Diet Devotion - March 8th
Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. When we feel the weakest and most vulnerable, then is the time to turn to God. God knows what we are up against, even before we call upon Him. There is no one who cares more about how we feel and how…

Weight Loss Goal Attained
Has anyone actually met their weight loss goals right through to the end? If so, I would love to hear how much you lost, how long it took and what you did. Did you follow MFP exactly or did you vary a bit? I just need a little motivation to show that goals can be met and have been by other people. Thanks everyone!

Setting realistic goals
So after about 7 months on here, I have noticed that, besides everyone on here being just AWESOME people in general, there are some things that I think people tend to forget. The biggest thing that I see is setting realistic goals. I just wanted to point a few facts out that I have learned the hard way (by doing it) and…

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Confidence. There are days when we feel we don't even know the meaning of the word. It is hard to stay confident when we feel so weak. It is important that we realize where…

A two-day binge
Ok, I fell off the wagon for a couple of days, which consisted of eating way too much sugar! Because of that, I feel very depressed and sluggish today.

Bad week...

Only been only ten days or so, but I've been consistent with exercise and diet and am on track to reach my goals.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. All her life she had tried to kid herself and say she didn't really have a weight problem. To admit she was fat would have been to admit that she needed to change her habits. She wasn't ready for that. Then her closest and dearest…

I had a completely undeserved gain of 4.9 lbs this week- I've been drinking water like crazy, so I'm thinking its just retaining water, but how do I get rid of the water? Seems like I'm not 'going' as much as I need to....Friday I drank 1 gallon of water and apparently retained every ounce of it- I watch my sodium uintake,…
