I was reading your most current post (Oct. 7 about the meatball hoagies)... and I think the Lord led me to click on this post in the "You might also like:" area underneath.<br /><br />I have been praying a LOT more as of late... trying to give a humongous amount of my burdens to the Lord, truly HEAVY burdens that have been beating me down the past couple months. One of them being my weight that I gained from migraine meds over the past 3 years. I've been slowly losing the past 6 months, but have stopped and I was getting so frustrated. But I have been "nudged" lately but His still, small voice to give that and all the other problems over to Him. I realize now that I had not completely done that yet with the weight loss part. Now I understand.<br /><br />Thank you, Grace for sharing this... so that the Lord could lead me here and "hear" Him better.<br /><br />♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-4774672979962253272010-05-15T06:10:16.581-05:002010-05-15T06:10:16.581-05:00Wow!

I am sorta in the same spot and never really thought about praying about it and putting it in God's hands.

Then I was at a holding pattern for a few months and then the last 10 came off in about 2 months.<br /><br />Hope that helps!

It has been about 3 weeks and I have dropped 9 lbs, and I was wondering how long it took you to lose the first 20? I'm sticking with this and am committed to my plan, but I find discouragement is always in the back of my mind, can this really keep working? Can't it go faster? Yes I am a little impatient considering I didn't put the weight on overnight I guess it could take some time to come off. I appreciate this post in reminding me to do this for God's glory.

I had to get caught up on the previous episodes of this journey... you are so encouraging! The Lord really uses you through these posts... I know for sure b/c He is challenging me... I started about 3 weeks ago trying to lose some weight... I know too many people that have the tendency to become obsessive about it.. and I don't want that to be me... so I have been trying REALLY hard to be smart about how hard core I am... <br /><br />This post really enlightens me... THANK YOU! I need to spend some time seeking Him first... you're exactly right! b/c so far... the last 3 weeks losing 7lbs has been for my glory only... yikes. how. selfish.Raylene Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349887960543915733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-28828284374108764732010-05-01T21:02:24.609-05:002010-05-01T21:02:24.609-05:00I just have to say you are motivating me for when ...I just have to say you are motivating me for when this pregnancy is over to get rid of those 20 pounds that have crept on with having 4 (now 5!) back to back pregnancies! I have to ask though (sorry if you already answered this), how long did it take? Did you start immediately after the birth of #4? Did it effect your nursing/supply?Nicci Lynnhttp://www.afarmhousefull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-77093309042709855252010-04-30T21:51:38.969-05:002010-04-30T21:51:38.969-05:00You are such an encouragement my dear friend...I h...You are such an encouragement my dear friend...I have shared my own struggle with you in this department, and although I have definitely lost some weight, I have kind of hit that plateau that you were speaking of earlier. You reminded me that I need to put the Lord in the center of EVERYTHING...even my battle with losing weight. Thank you for being so honest with us.

I had a very similar experience and how sweet to know not only does the Lord have a plan for every.single.area of our lives, but it even includes the stuff that we think He may not find important.

I've been remembering when I first met you and you'd sit so that your baby bump poked out when you were first pregnant with Trusten - I think I'm doing the same thing, except now mine's pretty obvious little Moriah doesn't need my extra "help" to be noticed :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994084985163251792noreply@blogger.com
