Come join in and discuss how are faith and fitness are intertwined! 1 Tim. 4:7-8 says, “Take the time and the trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” I believe we must apply the same principle to our physical fitness, too.

Join along on the journey.

    I so need to get this book again from the library and finally get the chance to finish it.
  • I have the book but haven't read it yet. I did read "Reshaping it all" and enjoyed it. So I'm looking forward tot his one as well.

    Hi :) Saw this group as I was looking through the groups. I am not really new to fitnesspal, I just have not logged in for about a year or so. I was extremely happy to find a faith group. :) I am starting day 1 on my path to loose 25 lbs. I started my career as a nurse in December and want to get healthy for my patients and for myself. I am relying on God to help me because I know I will fade away on this path in about a month or so. :)

    I read day 3 of the 60 day devotional today and it really spoke to me. Am I walking in obedience or looking to the results of the scale for my happiness?
  • I borrowed the book from the library at the beginning of the month but found it on Amazon and downloaded it onto my kindle for $2.99 earlier this week. I think it's back to it's original price now. I haven't finished reading it yet but I am enjoying what I have read. Looking forward to both the spiritual and physical journey.

    Hi Ladies! Wow! What an encouragement to see you all here this morning!

    I absolutely LOVE the Made to Crave book and accompanying devotionals. I devoured it in about three days.

    There is a 21 day AND 60 day devotional available via Kindle.

    I think that Lysa is so on target with THIS being the proverbial "missing key" in our weight loss efforts. We are quick to both repent and ask for help in all the others area of our lives that we struggle with, but most of us believe we have to carry this food struggle on our own and that simply isn't true!

    Hi. Happy to find this group. I'm on day 15 of the 21 Day Made the Crave devotional and feel like by doing this through Jesus I'm going to be successful for the first time. For example, one day I was coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why I wasn't going to workout one day, and when I opened my devotional it was about making excuses and I got my butt right up and did my workout.

    I'm also doing the Daniel Fast for the month of January with my husband and it's going great. I feel healthier and more energized. Looking forward to getting to know folks in the group. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi. I'm excited to read this book and get to know all of you better.

    I've started many diets, but do find it is hard to ask God for help in this area. I know there is shame attached to the weight struggle for me. It's time to invite the LORD into this journey and see what He has to show me!

    Praying for you!

    Welcome, welcome! So glad you are all here! :)
  • Hello, I'm Lacey. I'm brand new to myfitnesspal, but not to dieting!
    I love Lysa's books and was so happy to find a group of Jesus Girls!
    I've got a long way to go to get to goal, but I'm going to focus on the journey this time so I don't miss the lessons I'm supposed to learn on the way ... so that when I do get back to goal this time, I won't turn around and put it all back on ...

    Happy Friday, everyone!

    Hi Lacey! Welcome Welcome! :)
  • I found this site a month ago. I kept meaning to use it, but like healthy eating, it just didn't happen. Tonight was the first night of a growth group at my church...Made to Crave...and I thought...hmnm...I wonder if there's anything that follows it on myfitnesspal. Well...look what I found! So tomorrow I will begin to use this site...and look forward to getting to know others that are in this group as well. I'm unsure if anyone still is here...it seems the posts are older...so ifffffff you're out there, let me know how it's going.

    God bless always!

    I've been reading the book and get the devotionals via email. Im new to myfitnesspall but not to dieting. I want to crave God more than food. Thanks ladies for sharing. Looking forward to the journey.
  • I have read the book 4 times. Ok before you say why? lol I lead this group at my church and about o get it started at a few others. My goal is to get women and men ( yes I have men) to walk closer in the relationship with God, treat their bodies like a temple and really to have a healthy relationship with food. I loved this book and obviously am very passionate about it. I have lost 100 lbs and have a strong belief in not will power but GOD POWER. I just wanted to write and tell you to keep on keepin on.


    Philippians 4:13

    New International Version (NIV)


    13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.


    I know I couldn't have done it on my own BUT GOD!
