An Amazing God...

We serve an amazing God, an amazing King.  He is able to help us conquer our weight and our desires to overeat...if we trust Him.  Trust God today.  It's our theme for 2013 and we are praying.  Join us every Wednesday.  Here is the song...worship HIM and as you do...release your love relationship with food and pick up God!

I Surrender All -Video

Ce Ce Winans has an excellent album entitled..."Alone In His Presence".. "I Surrender All" is a featured song on this album.  It's a great album as you sit in the presence of the Lord to listen to receive your healing.  I encourage everyone to spend time alone with the Lord this holiday season and meditate on the word, pray, and receive your healing.  I am posting the YouTube link here:

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS FROM THE BIGGEST LOSERS...

Well we have completed another season of "The Biggest Loser" on NBC.  The contestants sweated their weight away week after week-approaching weight loss as a full time job.  We have a lot that we can learn from them.  Here are the top 10 keys to weight loss success from The Biggest Losers:

1. Keep your focus. Make losing weight your number one priority. Treat it like a job.
2. Be a competitor, a fighter. Two words I did not allow in my vocabulary the whole time I was on the ranch: “give up.”
3. Commit to making a change – the attitude will follow!
4. Learn to express anger in a positive way. I used to turn to food to deal with my anger, and I was this unhappy, angry, overweight person. But now I take boxing lessons. Every time I hit the bag, it’s like shouting to the world, “I’m doing this!”
5. Food journal is a must. (Start your own food journal!) Otherwise you’re not going to be as mindful about what you eat.
6. Read a daily affirmation—poetry or inspirational quotes. I do that to be kind to myself on a daily basis.
7. When it comes to working out, you just have to get up and do it. You have to make time for yourself and get to the gym or put on those sneakers and walk or run, if you can.
8. Don’t watch so much TV at night so you can get up earlier the next day and work out. Planning is everything.
9. Give yourself one treat day a week. On that day I give myself an extra 500 calories, then go right back on the plan the next day.  (Coaches Tip to add...exchange calories...if you know you want to have a treat, minimize calories @ another meal-or workout to burn extra calories).
10. We live a long way from town so when we go to do errands, we load up a cooler with healthy snacks and put it in the car. That way we don’t stop for a burger in a weak moment.-PLANNING IS EVERYTHING! 
11. Last one is from me:  JUST DO IT!  We spend so much time talking about losing weight and less time actually doing it.  Get up, get out, and get moving.  Develop your plan, stick to it...and before you know it...you'll be a "BIGGEST LOSER''.

Lindsey Adams started attending our Body Breakthru weight loss classes last year.  She is beautiful, talented, consistent and determined in her weight loss goals.  She is using Weight Watchers as her plan and Body Breakthru for education about her weight loss goals.

Here is her 49 lbs down video testimony:

Here is her 61 lbs down video testimony:

Her blog links are on her website as well as her before picture.

Here are some pictures from our last Body Breakthru weight loss class.  Lindsey is displaying her vision board.  Stacey is displaying hers also.  Without a clear, defined vision, it makes it impossible for us to accomplish our goals.  We @Body Breakthru meet monthly for weigh-in and measure and to discuss topics that will change how you think and feel about weight loss.  In order for things to change, you have to change..."Jim Rohn".  

Prayer is the most powerful tool on your weight loss journey.  Prayer keeps you at a place where you are dependent upon God and with Him alongside you-ALL things are possible. We pray every Wednesday morning about our weight loss journey. This morning we heard Lindsey's awesome testimony and keys to her 62 lbs weight loss success!

You can listen to it now:  Call:  712-451-6300.  Dial 320434# and press 1 to play the recording.

Congrats Lindsey, you are doing great!  You inspire me, as your coach.  May God bless you as you continue to trust Him to help you along your weight loss journey. -Tamekia

Surrender

Weight loss at the end of the day is about total surrender.  It wasn't until I surrendered my desire to control my life that I conquered my struggle with food.  I realized that I thought I was in control because if I couldn't control anything else, I could control what I ate, when I ate, and how good I felt when I ate what I wanted.  But, really at the end of it-FOOD WAS CONTROLLING ME-and the good feelings I had when I ate the rich foods I loved was just covering up how unhappy I really was inside.

People who lose weight give up food as the thing that controls their lives, embrace their results and learn that they can feel good doing positive, reinforcing behaviors that will give them results. 

It can be done!  If you are not where you want to be on your weight loss journey, I implore you today to...SURRENDER! Surrender your will, your desires, and allow God to be in control of this area of your life.  As you do this, you cannot fail!  This song helped me to "Surrender All" and it has changed me.  After struggling many years, up and down on weight loss plans and programs: I lost 36 lbs 5 years ago- and I'm keeping it off, to God be all the glory!  Tip:  Listen to it as many times as you need to...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IAz9artoBw
