[finally ready]

not to dieting. I have been born again since I have been 8 years old. Leaning (sometimes) heavily on my Savior has gotten me through some very hard times in my life. And I am thrilled to find a group like this. I am a 52 year old woman that, that has dieted all her life, from little up. I think the difference this time is I am committed to the fact that I want to lose this weight, I have a husband, daughter and two of the cutest grandchildren anyone has ever seen, (depending on the day of course), and not only want to do it for myself but them too. Some things confuse me, like how many calories we should have a day, but I think with all of your help I'll figure things out as I go. I have droped two pounds so I think that is pretty awesome, Thanks again for being here.

[awaiting]

Hello my name is Awaiting on the thread as awaiting to be thin. God is good, I like it states in the bible we have to have a vision of our goal. So first we must post a picture of what we would like to see ourself look like. Next we have to plan. Second what are we going to do to get to where we want to be. Then we have to have faith. Third and last we must believe we could accomplish our goal. I think as long as we follow these three points and with the Lord we could do it. (I don't exactly where it states this in the bible, but I do know it talks about how somebody wrote down their vision.) I desire to release 125 lbs. and I know God gives us the desires of our heart.

So glad you joined us,finally ready...& awaiting. You'll find this is a very good forum for encouragement. Whether it be for weight loss, or every day woes.

I'm 55 & lost my weight summer before last. This past summer I was put on steroids for awhile & gained it back. So....back on my diet. I too, have lost a lot of weight over the years & gained it back. It's hard to believe I was underweight when I got married almost 37 yrs ago. We have 3 daughters (2 are twins), & a son. We have 11 grands!!

I don't count calories, or exercise........I've got OA & RA. I just eat fruit & salad until supper. I eat a regular supper, only put it in a saucer instead of a plate. Eat slowly & no refill. I drink LOTS of water.

Good luck to both of you!!

Thanks for the welcome, well tomorrow is weigh in day, I won't alow myself to get on the scale everyday, just once a week.And I am pretty sure I have lost some as my "undies" feel a bit looser. But we'll see. Thanks again.

Good morning all, like i said yesterday it was weigh in day and I'm down another pound, but for some reason I find no joy in that. Today seems to be an off day for me, maybe because it's raining out. haven't been up all that long and I seem to have spent every waking moment in prayer.I know God will supply every one of my needs, but you know sometimes it's hard to wait, even though my Father will supply, I know that. Good news, our daughter was appointed hostess at our church, so she is a little worried about all her duties, but i know she will do a great job, she has made a wonderful change in her life since making God her focus.Well didn't mean to preach. guess if i don't start the daily chores they won't get done. How are you feeling Angel-lover? I hope better, God has given us a new day, and I'm going to try not to waste it. have a good one.

Hi everyone! I'm new here too.
I've started going to TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) for three weeks now, and in those three weeks, I've lost 13 pounds! I have a long way to go though. My goal is to lose 100 pounds.
I love the idea of faith based encouragment.
I was born again in 1985 and I love living for the Lord. He is my comfort and my best friend.
I wish you all great success and many blessing as we begin this journey we call weight loss.
