    Going to bed now, Praying this thread stays positive and doesn't end up getting locked again..

    God bless all of you, and feel free to add me as well. Ive started a 21 day fast with my youtube followers just yesterday and its not too late to join in, fasting as in fasting chocolate or candy or working out 30 mins a day for 21 days

    Excellent Josh. When we put God first, everything else falls into place when we trust in Him. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    I'm not Christian, but a Catholic. But, I love Jesus!!!!!!!!!

    I try to fast (bread and water) on Wed and Friday (its hard and tempting to eat) and the last time I did it was 6 months ago.....but, I still love Him. Remember his love, live by his ways and he shall support you in everything!

    I always get encouraged through the word of God...especially when I'm first starting out... I always think of Zech 4:10 where it says do not despise the days of small beginnings... so encouraging because I'm putting in so much work and not seeing the results! :\ Walking by faith and not by sight!! be blessed everyone!

    My weight loss journey began with a 21 day fast at the beginning of 2011. It started when I replaced food on the throne of my heart with Jesus. I got my priorities back in line. As my pastor put it, "you worship what you serve" and while food is good, it makes a lousy God. Since the end of that fast I have lost 139 pounds. I know that I could not have done it without God's help, and I still need His help daily, because it truly is an addiction with me and it is a total spiritual issue. I wish more people would realize this and work on that and not just the physical aspect. I'm praying for you and hope you find strength in Him to continue. I also would like to add one of my favorite inspirational fitness Bible verses:

    1 Corinthians 9:27:
    I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

    I was under the impression that Catholics were Christians?

    I love Jesus my Lord and Savior!

    That's an awesome quote from the word and so encouraging! Thanks for that because we tend to want to go from start to finish in a week's time. We have to remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint. be blessed!
