I am just excited to find this website. I could use the support in my weightloss efforts. I haven’t been able to stick to a plan for a long time, but I really need to lose about 30 pounds.

Hi I am brand new to this blog. I have constantly struggled with being overweight. God is teaching me to see myself through His eyes. I have joined an excellent weight loss program, and just this week our meeting topic was on reaching out for support. I have been praying for new support pals and now I have found some! Isn’t God Good?!! I am believing I will get off my weight and keep it off. Not through beating myself up, as I have in the past, put rather through learning to look in God’s mirror and see myself as He sees me. I have a weight loss goal of 56 lbs. I have lost 8.6 in the last 3 weeks. I know the journey may be long and full of bumps, but I also know each mile and bump will bring me closer to God and hopefully to some of you! May God bless you on the journey. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Hang in there sisters, when we trust Him, God always comes through for us!!

Love P31 devotionals. Trying to get back to wise food choices after a week of vacation. Will check back to see how others are doing. http://www.sparkpeople.com is a great free tool for those who need a food/calorie tracker. With their tools, and the wonderful Christian friends I’ve found in the community, God has enabled me to lose 1/4 of my body weight and get healthy again!

Hi! I read the Proverbs 31 womens devotionals through my email. I am wanting to join the Wednesdays weightloss encouragement group but can’t figure out how to do it on my computer!! ha ha

I’m a Pastors wife in California, and have struggled with my weight for years. Up then down, and then up again. I have about 40 pounds to shed and have done 20 the past years but don’t go past that. I am currently up again……..and smiled when I read your devotional this morning. I know the Lords timing is perfect and feel HIS love come down through you! sign me up! Barby

This is the first time checking in. I stumbled upon your website because I follow Lisa on Twitter. God does answer our requests–even the unspoken ones. I was thinking some time ago if only I could be accountable for my eating. This time of year is just so difficult. And then I hurt my back and I am off work for a week without pay. I am upset about that. Upset makes me feel depressed. Depressed makes me want to eat. And because I hurt my back I am unable to do any type of activity. Your site really lifted my spirits today. Oh, and then my husband gets us a real tree (last Sunday) and it is still in my living room undecorated. I still have shopping to do but because of being off work my Christmas money is needed for when I am supposed to get paid. Plus my son is over in Afghanistan–and I am missing him big time. Thank you for having this site–I really needed to write my feelings down. I know that God is with me and there is reason. Here is to hope. And here is to a better next week.

Well, if it’s okay with you ladies, I’m jumping on the wagon a bit late. I lost 40 lbs over the past year but it was with a diet that I just couldn’t keep up as a lifestyle. Now that I’m back to eating regular foods, I see that the weight is coming back on, 10lbs so far, since I never learned to moderate my intake. Portion control is a big problem, as well as turning to food when tired and/or stressed. I’m praying for self-control, to turn to God when I’m anxious or need spiritual refreshment, and to take better care of the beautiful body he gave me.

I’m still catching up on your old posts to learn what tips you have shared thus far. Many blessings to all in your quest for weight loss success and doing a little ‘maintenance’ on the temple of the Holy Spirit!
