Hi! I just found this group through the introductions board in the community so I hope it is okay if I post something in here to get it started. My name is Brittany and I was raised as a follower of Christ. I was saved on November 17, 2015 and Baptized August 7, 2016. My Bible verse is Hebrews 13:5.
In my spare time I love reading. I cannot get enough of books. I attend college and I am an aspiring writer. I would love to write young adult fiction novels someday. Some of my favorite Christian literature besides the Bible are Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind, Kyle Idleman's Not a Fan, and Joel Osteen's Become a Better You. My current devotional is Heaven Calling. Do any of you like to read? I would love to hear about your favorite literature.

Hi! I'm Patti. I was raised catholic, went to catholic high school and got saved when I was 20yrs old. Struggled all through high school with why couldn't I go straight to God for forgiveness? Praise God that one day someone showed me out of the Bible that not only could I go straight to God for forgiveness but He was ready and waiting for me to do so. The lord completely changed my life that day. I'm still a work in progress 27yrs later but I thank God for his mercy and grace.
Losing weight in an attempt to take care of the temple God has given me. And desperately needing his help along the way.0 -
I’m a God follower...been so since I was 14 although I was DEFINITELY a baby Believer who had a ton to learn and made plenty of mistakes along the way...and unfortunately I’m still making them but I DO pray that God will create in me a clean heart and grow me.
One of the things I’ve learned that He has helped me with is this whole weight thingie...as it was...honestly...gluttony on my part OR me feeding to fill a hole that should be filled with Him.
He used Weight Watchers...and many spiritual lessons along the way to help me lose over 100 lbs. I’m currently struggling with 20 lbs. as I took a job as a weight loss counselor and my schedule got SO stinkin’ busy that I had no time for my usual activity so am trying to figure all of this out as I go.
Taking care of this temple...is important to me and it’s a struggle but I know that I want to be strong and capable to do whatever He sets before me.
Shoot me a friend request if you like. I keep my food diary private as I’m bent that way but may change that. I’m using MFP because I dig the feedback on the 5 week forward expectations when I end my tracking day and it’s easy and I get bored over time (been tracking for 14 years...thereabout and I like to switch how I track occasionally to wake me up. Ha!
Glad to have a Believing group to be part of.

Hi I'm Eva & saw this group in the introductions area on the main page. I can always use support & give it the best I can. We are in this together. A little about me, married, have 4 grown children, have 6 dogs, got laid off of my job of 15yrs a few yrs ago but working part time-6hrs a week as a care giver. The best part about my job is on Sundays I take "my lady" to church & Wednesdays I take her to a small group for ppl with disabilities at church. Joined mfp in June 2016 & down 48 lbs, 10 more to go. I lost 48 by last November & been trying to lose the 10 since then. Maybe my body just doesn't want to?0
