hello! im looking here to find some encouragement on my weight loss journey! im looking to lose about 20-50 pounds. my highest weight was this summer around 160 and ive been bouncing around the 140s and 150s. i want this year upcoming year to be different!

also, i consider myself a very supportive person and im ready to root you on too!!

now, i know this isnt Christian mingle haha but i am a Christian and Jesus is a VERY important part in this journey which meanssss i will probably be talking about Him alot and itd be great if i had some friends that are Christians too (-:

i also feel like its important for me to note that in my past i have dealt with bulimia and i have my bad days (rarley but they do happen) but i am definitely going strong with recovery.

very excited to start this journey!!

    I'm a Christian too. Was praying last night for His guidance to help me have an eagle eye on what I eat so I lose weight slowly so it stays off for good. Blessings to all.

    I'm a firm believer in my amazing savior, Jesus Christ! I'm looking to lose about 25lbs. I've been on a 1200 calorie lifestyle change since 2/2014. Felt like the pounds aren't melting off anymore until I recently read a blog that was posted on My Fitness Pal home feed, mentioning that I would need to pinch my calories more. Yikes! Starting that today. Good luck everyone. Pray for the Lord's guidance and seek him in all you do. ❤

    I love this thread. The only thing equal to Faith in my life is commitment to my family. Please, anyone and everyone who sees this, add me. Just don't send a blank friend request, LOL!

    Double AMEN all day! Feel free to add me. Always glad to help :)

    Hebrews 10:25
    Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

    Ephesians 4:29
    Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

    Hello everyone! I just saw this thread. My name is Susan, I am trying to lose about 55 more pounds. I started this journey on January 6. I have used MFP before and lost over 100 pounds. I gained most of it back. This time I want to lose it and keep it off! I am a Christian. I am an encouraging person and at times I need encouraging also. We can do this with God first and the support of Godly friends!

    Yes, I'm a Christian, if not the sort people typically picture. I pray at home rather than church and I have liberal views.

    It's always encouraging to know we have Christian brothers & sisters on MFP! God wants us to be good stewards of these earthly bodies while we have them

    I am a 59 year old, married mother of many, as well as a grandmother. I know what it's like to lose, gain, lose, and gain again. I had gone down from 150 to 133, but gained some back. I am hypothyroid, and every time I gain weight, my free thyroid level goes too low,- or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, it's hard to keep it at the right level. I am struggling to stay within my calorie limit these days. It's only set at 1450 cal, since I don't really have time to exercise much, though I do stay active. So far, I have learned that it's important to never give up. You haven't lost the fight until you give up fighting, so don't give up no matter what. I have been a Christian for a long time, and would love to be an encouragement to anyone who needs it. So if you don't mind my age, feel free to add me any time.

    You sound like a blessing of an addition in anyone's life! I am also looking to lose 20 pounds after a bad break up that left my confidence lowered along with my bank account. But I am ready to get on the "eat your heart out" diet where I am in the best shape of my life! And I definitely can't do it without a few friends and a whole 'lotta Jesus! Add me if you'd like!
