Hello ladies, I'm new to the group. I'm from MS where I live with my daughters, 17 & 18. I am a mother of three, my son is 19 and is in the the US Navy. I have been married to a wonderful husband or 14 years now but my husband is out of the home due to legal issues, we put those in God's hands. I am Christian and very active with my church, working in many facets of the ministry. I have been on this weight loss journey all my life but was blessed to be able to lose 104lbs over this past year. My starting weight was 354. My desire is to lose and be healthy to give Gods spirit a healthy temple to dwell and to lose 50 more lbs. As I was walking this morning today this revelation came to me, I have a weight problem, then he said you don't have a weight problem you have an eating problem, which resulted in your weight problem. When you learn to control your eating problem" Shon" you can control your weight problem. Then his word said "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" Matthew 4:4 so I'm learning. I'm glad to be a part of a group of praying mothers and wives, I hope to make some great connections and be uplifted by you all

    Hello:)

    Thank you for requesting me:).. My name is Liz and I am also new to this group. I am also a Christian. I have also been on a weight loss journey most of my life. I know to well what it feels like to struggle with bad eating habits. The desire to be thin has been a part of most of my life, yet I have more recently have had not the desire to be thin but the desire to be healthy I am pre-diabetic or you can say diabetic because I am on medication. I just found out I have a little bit of arthritis in my lower mid back and I feel the pain, and I know it's because of my weight.; I might also have IBS due to my bad eating habits. So it is not a maybe it's a must that I get healthy for myself and for my family. I know God want's us to take care his temple and that is motivation in itself.I know God help's us and I feel this is my wake up call and God is using this for me to snap out of it. I don't want to ignore God's warnings, I will try my best and I am so blessed to have found this group. And I am here for any of you that need prayer or support. We are not alone. And with The Lord's help we will succeed .
