    I’m Christian. I don’t use my faith to keep me motivated as such, rather, my faith is an integral part of all areas of my life, weight loss included.
    My weight loss journey has really been about building good habits, routine and structure. I pray for strength to persevere when I feel weak, as I do in other areas of my life.

    Blessings to you on your journey <3

    Hiya, when things get tough and I need motivation, I love to get back memory verses like "we are not of those that shrink back...", or "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." Like @Leannep2201, much of my journey is just building good habits - but I know that I do that so much better when I know why I am doing it and who is helping me.

    Good luck!

    YES! God gave me this one body to take care of. I want to do him proud. Plus, I want to be healthy and happy for my kids and husband.

    There's a Christian Support Group here on MFP where you might be able to connect with others who share your faith and help keep each other motivated: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/378-christian-support-group

    I'm a Christian and I use my faith in God for every area of my life. This year the biggest thing I've been focusing on is being obedient to what I say I'm going to do. I fail quite often but I don't give up. Grace is a wonderful gift. :)
