I did Weigh Down starting 10 years ago and have kept of 25 lbs. I started in Mid Sept and ask the Lord with His help to loose 25 lbs by Christmas. I made it so I got a woven basket and weighed it to be 25 lbs, put a bow on it as my gift from Jesus. I did well for 5 years then have added more weight. BUT when I get close to My 25 lb gift I pick up my rocks and get moving.
I have been playing around with Weight Watchers, Thin Within, 3D diet, GI program and to no success. I don't do good tracking points and calories and weighing weekly.
When on Weigh Down it was such FREEDOM to eat regular food, when hungry and in moderation, and quite my binging, stopping at the check out line and eating a candy bar or just going through a Drive Thru because its there.
I was a Leader for WD for 3 years, at our church. We did Exdous Out of Egypt and the next program. When Gwen left her church and changed thinking and did the Advanced Program, we sent it back.
I was at 3 of her yearly Oasises? the first 2 were great and then with Rebuilding the Walls and going into her own church, she became controlling and legalistic. Also didn't agree with the Trinity.
As it says in Philippains 1:15 - 18 ***even if a church or leader, misused the word, finances etc. rejoice if you heard Christ preached. WE DID, so I am standing on her orig Weigh Down programs. I just purchased Rising Above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator from Weight Down on line, it was $9.99 + shipping and has study book and cassete tapes that go with workbook, this series was done just before the Exodus series.
I feel the teaching is good, holds us accountable, seeking the Lord for direction and guidance. Great to eat real food and not count calories or points and just be accountable to Jesus.

I just really feel I am to get into this program again and would be glad to share and encourage anyone who is interested. God is great, and Gwen will have to stand before the Lord herself.
She sure started with a great message.
Sorry post is so long, but wanted to encourage all who are interested in the program and materials.
Love in Christ, Sue
Phil 1:15-18 New American Standard Some to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will. the latter do it out of love, knowing that I (Paull) am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, rather than from pure motives, thinking to cuase me distress in my imprisonment, What then? Onlythat in every way, whether in prestense or in truth, CHRIST is proclaimed; and in this I REJOICE.
I feel Gwen took her good message and was eaten up by her desire to grow bigger and succeed in other areas (her own church) and was very much decieved and feel into a distorted path.
