Entrust your efforts to the Lord

"Entrust your efforts to the Lord, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

Every day I ask for God's help and commit my efforts to Him as I continue striving for weight loss and improved health. It makes a difference in the decisions I make, in my attitude, etc.

Yesterday at my daughters soccer game I discovered that her science teacher (who is also a pastor's wife like me) is on MFP! We walked around the soccer field together a number of times as we watched the game and got in some exercise. Now I have another new MFP friend! And my daughter's team won and made it to the playoffs.

Praying you all have a great day in the Lord and success in your weight loss efforts as you commit your plans to Him!

    Thanks. You all are encouraging me too especially as I see you logging in daily, tracking food and exercise, and participating in our group. I think my body is used to being in maintenance mode because even after tracking for at least 2 weeks I haven't lost anything (hoping for at least another 10 pounds). I think I need to up the exercise but I don't seem to be able to find the time to do that. I'm determined though to reach my goal and with God's help it will happen eventually. I'm just going to keep at it!
