Jennifer Renee,

With Christ’s love, I pray you lay everything down at His feet.
Receive His forgiveness, drench in His love for you.
Walk in His peace of forgiveness and grace.
Reading the Bible in the morning has helped me so much! And I am learning to let Father God love me and am so thankful for His Son Jesus Christ!
The Bible says: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith–that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3

Debbie – you have something to look forward to – that trip to AL to see Beth Moore! Lucky you. I also just finished her study on Daniel. Wasn’t it amazing??? She was in a city about three hours from here a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, could not leave my family that weekend. I will be praying for you as you work toward meeting your goal.

Haven’t posted in several weeks as I was trying to forget about weight loss. My two daughters, my mom and I have a trip planned to Birmingham, AL for a Beth Moore conference in December. Really looking forward to it as we just completed her study on Daniel. However, I am 140 pounds overweight and so concerned the plane seatbelt will not go around me. I am determined not to humiliate myself or embarrass my daughters and mother by having to ask for a seatbelt extension. My goal is to remove (not lose because I don’t want to find it again) at least 50# by December. I’ve been cutting back for 2 weeks and am down 1.5#. Not a great start but I’ll take it. Everyone keep up the good work.

This is not my first time to the blog, but it is my first time “checking in”. Not sure where to start… I am… “comfortable” with my weight, but not happy. I have battled with it all of my life. I find Karen’s story (as well as Lindsey’s post) really encouraging.

Wasn’t Lindsey’s post great! Thanks Karen for sharing. The idea of standing where the scale is and praying is just so right. That is exactly what God wants us to do–call on Him FIRST! If we seek Him as often as we seek to feed our flesh then we wouldn’t overeat or eat unhealthy things. Not up or down this week, but am leaving the scale alone and see how I do…seeking him first. Blessings to all!

Treva – congrats!! Your passion comes through in your post and the 6# is an awesome bonus!!!
I haven’t been to my WW meeting today, as once again I didn’t want the discouragement of seeing the scales go up. (Not sure that they would but having just been that time of the month I didn’t really want to risk it!) Instead I read through Lindsey’s older posts. Thanks so much for sharing these Karen and thanks Lindsey for being so open and honest. I love how you encourage me to be who God intended me to be, in an intimate relationship with Him, rather than being defined by a number on the scale or a pants size – there is so much freedom in that! Thanks

Only two more days on my temporary job with the very long hours. My weigh in today was at 4 AM! Haven’t lost anything, but haven’t gained, either. I am okay with that for now – considering how tired I have been from the hours I’m keeping. I have not had any coffee, either. Just lots of ice water. While my co-workers eat a full lunch and dessert, I have been choosing salads, healthy sandwiches, hummus with veggies, or soup. I am only exercising every second or third day, but I feel it’s better than no exercise at all. I have to spend three hours in the car each day for this job, and I listen to praise music or Bible teaching tapes. Let’s just say, I’m hanging in there.

Thanks for putting my focus back where it belongs Karen. You’re right, the words all just fall into place when Lindsay writes. Surrendering my sugar and caffeine stronghold for yet another week for something better, my Savior. Thanks for all the encouragement.

What a wonderful post Lindsay!! God is so good! This past week has been life changing for me. I was in church last Wednesday night & we sang a Hillsong United song – In Your Freedom ( http://vodpod.com/watch/2715032-in-your-freedom-hillsong-saviour-king ) and my prayer to God was to LIVE in His freedom! I wanted freedom over this over eating addition, food addition! Praise God this is the 1st wk (full wk + wkend) that I have not broke over or over ate!!!!!! This is a HUGH accomplishment for me. I’m so thankful that God set me free!!! God has been teaching me to lean & rely on Him FIRST! When I get upset instead of going around upset all day or heading straight to food, if I pray 1st, ask God for His help then God’s strength is made perfect in my weakness. For when I’m weak then His is truly strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) When I was praying last wk God put that so strong in my spirit. It became so real to me. So when I’m upset, wanting to over eat, discouraged, lacking wisdom, losing my cool, frustrated, etc…I can ask God for help and He’s there to help me; all I have to do is ASK! For the past 2 months I’ll do good on eating healthy & then when the wkend hits I’ll mess up & over eat. This past wkend was soooo awesome! It’s like I felt Gods presence with me as I went through the wkend saying “you can do it, My strength is made perfect in your weakness, lean on me, trust me, you were made for more!!” My prayers goes out to everyone on this blog…with God ALL things are possible!

Passionately Pursuing Christ!
Treva

btw-I’m down 6 lbs this wk {{{doing my happy dance}}}

Hello ladies! Happy Wednesday. Sounds like we had some ups and some downs this week. Chin up girls! God is glorious. For the first time in many (15) years I am actually losing weight and enjoying every minute!! I’m not depriving myself like I have in the past. I’m exercising and eating less and healthier things, but still eat the things I want, just less of them and try to make up by eating less at the next meal. I’m down 3 1/2 pounds this week for a total of 22. Still have 50 to go, but I’m so encouraged with this big a loss. I’m usually a 1 pound a week girl. Glory to God. I’ve never felt this good about dieting!! lol
