Faith Without Works Is Dead!!!

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:17)  

Weight loss is a journey of faith and action.  The two paired together makes your journey a success.  Faith requires us to step out without seeing or knowing what the outcome will be and regardless of the challenges we face, keep going!

You can believe that you will lose weight all day long, but if there is no action or plan behind your faith, you will not lose the weight.

Action=eating the right foods, exercising your body, reading scriptures that will strengthen your will, resisting the temptation to stray from your eating plan, being accountable to others, walking instead of driving to destinations that are within walking distance, talking to others who have been successful and incorporating the things you learn into your plan, praying to God about your weight loss efforts.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.  (Hebrews 11:1)

You may not see the weight falling off, but it will if you believe and you accompany your belief with the action required, your goals will become a reality.

BELIEVE and DO!

AN AGREEMENT...

Writing an agreement with God and committing to the agreement you have made, will free you from the bondage of food in those areas where you are challenged.  Let the Holy Spirit lead you in writing your agreement.  Review it daily and whenever you are tempted, remember your agreement!

Psalms 73:25  Whom have I in heaven but you?  I desire you more than anything on earth.

MY SAMPLE CONTRACT:  (Issue:  Overeating)

"Lord, it is not good for me to eat too much and I know that it is not your will for my life.  As you say in your word, a person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.  Lord, today I submit my will to eat, my eating choices and my desires to you.  Whenever I desire to eat too much, I will clothe myself with the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for indulging my flesh.  I will stop continually thinking about the evil cravings of my physical nature to satisfy my lust for food.  Lord, you are my heart’s only desire.  I hunger and thirst after you and your word.  Today, I commit myself totally to you."

Other Scriptural References: (AMP)

Proverbs 25:27-28

Romans 13:14 

Watch Extreme Weight Loss Stories for Motivation...

Chris, coach on Extreme Weight Loss says..."Transformation is focusing on the things that you are scared of, that you don't necessarily WANT to do, these are the areas of our lives we need to work on."

FACT:  COMPARED TO OTHER U.S. GROUPS, AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF OBESITY-4 OUT OF 5 AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE.

This number is staggering!  We must pray that God raises up a consciousness within all of us to fight for our health!

Extreme Weight Loss Stories

There is POWER in the name of Jesus...

I love the song, "Break Every Chain" by Tasha Cobbs.  There is truly power in the name of Jesus to motivate your weight loss efforts.  I clearly remember when I first started jogging as part of my weight maintenance plan, there were some days I had to sing the name of Jesus to make it through 1 mile, then 2 miles, then 3 miles.  I know that singing the name of Jesus empowered my workout efforts.  What about you?  Are you allowing Jesus to empower your weight loss journey?  God is preparing an army of people who recognize His voice and the power of His name.  Your journey is not just about you, but the glory of God. As you break your chains, you empower others to do the same.  We serve an amazing God! 

I challenge each of  you, the next time you hit a rough spot, say the name of Jesus-yell it out.  He is your biggest cheerleader standing on the sidelines and empowering you as you make the sacrifice to lose weight and get healthy.  Do you hear the chains falling?

Meet Lindsey M Adams...1st Graduate of the Body Breakthru 12 Month Program!

I have been a weight loss coach for over 7 years.  I have coached many clients, a few have successfully made it to their goals, and many have not.  Somewhere in the midst of difficulty, they give up! What is the difference between success and failure?  COMMITMENT and ACCOUNTABILITY!  Lindsey Adams is the first client to successfully complete the "12 Steps to Weight Loss Success", Body Breakthru Nutritional Program for weight loss and look what the Lord has done!  Not only has she lost weight, but she has built a strong foundation for her wellness and weight loss journey.  I am so proud of her and this amazing accomplishment.  Lindsey, you have proven that commitment and hard work pay off.  Congratulations!  Here is her testimony:  

Luke 1:37..."For with God nothing shall be impossible" 

That is the foundation that transformed a 5’5 307lb women into a healthy, whole and fit 181lb woman today. After 126 lbs. lost and still losing; God has been my number one source, provider, intercessor, healer and motivator. I started my Journey in July 2011, after the Lord spoke to my spiritual accountability partner about the enemy’s plan to kill me with morbid obesity.  I wore a size 22/24 and weighed over 300lbs. Most importantly, I had low self- value and esteem and was in abusive relationships for over 8 years. I found myself being the “other woman” or the “side-line” piece because I tried replacing my feelings of rejection with male attention. Between July 2011 and October 2011, I lost 26 lbs., walking 1 hour on my local track 3 days a week. In October 2011, I joined Weight Watchers and a nutritional program Body Breakthru. As a member of these programs I learned lifestyle changes and ways to face my weight loss challenges.  I also joined LA Fitness and became an avid group fitness participant. Over a total of 15 months I lost my first 100 lbs. Today I am a size 10/12 and 181 lbs. I am excited to reach my goal and I continue to add variety and intensity to my workouts. I also work diligently to stop over eating and emotional eating, as well as to practice better portion control and honest calories tracking. I have been a motivational speaker for the Weight Watchers Jennifer Hudson Center in Chicago and I am also an online personality creating videos about my weight loss journey on LindseyMAdams.com.
