Hello my name is Earnest and I am ashamed to admit that almost weighed 500 pounds. I had really let myself go and was at a rock bottom moment in my life. At my highest weight almost 4 years ago I weighed 472 pounds. I was so disgusted with myself I knew I had to do something. I initially consider the weight loss surgery and started going through the pre-op procedures, but I was just too afraid of the risk and possible complications. I got down on my knees and cried out to God to help me and I made a promise to God that if he gave me another chance I was going to get this weight off of me. This didn’t happen overnight but I started confessing that I will become a health 250 pound man in Jesus name. I am not there yet but I am proud to say that I now weigh 279 pounds. Prayer works, you may not get the answer immediately but if you apply yourself, stay focus and stay prayerful God will give you the desires of your heart. I have been a Member of MFP for just one year and I have managed to lose 118 pounds just following this program and putting in the work. Faith without works is dead. Write the vision and make it plain. If I can do this so can you. To God Be the Glory!!

    Great job! Way to honor Him who has delivered you from gluttony and sloth. Thru His Grace I have dropped 127 in the past seven months and gone from 425 to 298! He is great and He is mighty to save!

    Great job, an excellent witness. God bless.

    As believers, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

    Why do we treat it as an amusement park?
