    Hi, Everyone!

    New (again) to My Fitness Pal. The reason I left before was that I got discouraged that so much of the community activity was risque and foul in nature. I am so happy to find this group and surround myself with fellow believers!

    I just purchased "The Daniel Plan" book a few days ago and I am about half-way through reading it. I really need to work on my diet and exercise. I consume most of my calories through beverages, so I decided to detox off most beverages except distilled water and herbal teas, before I officially start the "Food" portion of the plan.

    A brief bio: I'm 42, married to a wonderful man, and have 4 kids combined. I'm a homemaker for now and I'm trying to live one day at a time in God's grace.

    Bless you all!

    Hi all. I am Jessica and have recently returned to MFP. I picked up the Daniel Plan at Costco last month and have really felt motivated to get back in shape. I lost about 40 pounds last year, then ended up with Plantar Faciitis and stopped running. I gained about 20 pounds back, but am now healed and ready to try again.

    Welcome Jessica, I to have suffered a injury. I lost 100lbs and in the last year lost my Mother in law whom has been like a mother to me since I was 17 years old and then had a injury from work that has left me not working. I went from running, biking and training mode to 5 surgeries. I am not where I once was but certainly with God I will be where He wants me. I did gain 15 lbs but I am here and ready to go!

    My name is Mary and I live in Sunny Arizona. Just turn 60, am retired, happily married for 29 years and we have 2 grown children (ages 25 and 28) and one delightful grandchild.

    I started doing the Daniel Plan during Lent. Our church sponsored the endeavor and gifted anyone who wanted to participate with the book and workbook. I was part of a small group that met weekly, for 6 weeks. BUT, our meetings have ended. The women in my group, although very nice Christian women, were older than me and not very interested in exercise.

    I love to exercise almost as much as I love to eat.

    Am wanting to be part of a supportive, encouraging group.

    I think the Daniel Plan is a fantastic program. Since being on the DP, not only have I lost weight, I have also strengthened my faith practices. Although I've been on the DP for 6 weeks, I just finished doing the 10-day detox. I would HIGHLY recommend the detox. So much so, that I'm going to keep going with it. No dairy, no artificial sugars, no wheat/gluten, no processed foods. Am eating massive amounts of veggies and fish and lean turkey.
