    I love Jesus, I love Papa God, I love the Rolling Holy Ghost, but I am not happy with being labeled as Christian. I don't want to be lumped in with the rule followers and religious. I like to shake things up a bit and say, wow the bible isn't infallible and what does that mean, or God forbid, hang out with metalheads and druggies. I am here to lose weight, not to be in a political party or religious group. But I came on here to see if there were other "Christians' like myself.

    i believe Jesus Christ died for my sins and i strive to be a christian but still have not yet earned that title, iam a work in progress on that front , we are not perfect just forgiven

    Romans 5:8

    You don't strive to accept that Christ died for you...you don't need to strive to be one with Him, you already are! It's no longer you but Christ who lives in you. You are not a sinner saved by grace you are a Saint
  • We are here - I am letting the Holy Spirit use his motivation to give me patience and self-control. I pray every day for His Spirit to stay with me in this journey.

    is it because you don't have the individual confidence in yourself to achieve a goal or have success? God for weightloss... reminds me of my high school 'friend' whose mother had chemotherapy and was cured of cancer, all thanks to God of course. Or the patients another American friend's dad does emergency surgery on, and who survive 'thanks to God'.

    Look in yourself and discover your potential! :flowerforyou:

    if looking to ourselves for potential was enough then we definitely wouldn't need outside help, ie websites such as my fitness pal wouldn't exist. my fitness pal does not have all the answers, a lot of people go through thing where you literally come to the end of yourself, you have tried everything and God is there to help. I tried for over four years to lose weight using my own potential. It wasn't until I was able to meditate on bible scriptures in Christ which set me in the right frame of mind which caused me to let go of my past failures that I was successful.

    5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
    don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
    Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
    He’s the one who will keep you on track

    Proverbs 3:5-12

    When I see those threads.. I am under the impression that Catholics/Christians have trouble mixing with others....

    Yup! I'm a relatively new christian (about 3 years). It certainly isnt a switch that you just flip...I'm a working progress for sure :).

    The progression is not unlike the slow adoption of a fitness liftestyle. Having experienced both, there are definitally parallels.

    I am Christian! Anyone can add me though. This is my first time here so it would be nice to have some like minded friends. There is nothing wrong with seeking out people who share the same beliefs as you. I love my non-Christian friends but ot nice to have other people to share my passion for Christ with.

    I think the rapture must have taken them cause the world doesn't seem to reflect a Christian presence at this time... just sayin...

    Not necessarily. I am Christian and while it is nice to be around like minded people, I also have many non Christian friends and I value those friendships also. There are a lot of sterotypes about Christianity, there are wackadoodles in every group. We are not all bad. I don't judge people on their religious beliefs, I wish people would not judge me for mine. We can all live in this world together.
