friends in faith

Hi I am Jill from Northern Ireland. It is good to meet some Christians on here. I need to get fit again after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and undergoing 20 months of treatment. I have put on about 30lbs and because my feet were so painful for a long time after treatment I just completely gave up on exercise. I am on Tamoxifen which causes a lot of pain and stiffness plus I have arthritis in my feet, back and neck. I feel like I have aged 20 years in only 3 years. I need to fight back now and get fit again, I am too young to feel so old. If we all pray for each other and support each other we can do this! I just need to start somewhere.

What a Blessing it is to have company on this journey! I am hoping to lose about 15 pounds before back surgery in March. The first 5 lbs were easy this past week. I really cooked up a storm with some of the new recipes. I get to have goat cheese soufflé for a week now, it’s delicious! Tuna casserole, smoking rutabaga stew and beef and potato stew, and lentil and potato stew were all good and spread out over this week. I admit though that I need a break from cooking, so I might keep next week simple and have my hubby supplement his meals. I can only work out on my stationary bike but at least I am able to do that. Let’s do this! God’s peace sisters!

Hi there, Friends in Faith! Is there room for one more in your group?
My name is Marlyn, I’m a believer, a retired teacher, and I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I just started this program and really want to do my best to lose 15-20 pounds as well as regain some muscle strength. I don’t exercise as much as I should, but I do go to Deep-Water Aquafit at least once or twice a week as I find there is little impact on my joints and I get a good workout in the water.
With God’s help (and a little support and motivation from like-minded people) we can be healthier and more useful in the Kingdom, too.

Anyone interested in becoming phone and email partners on this journey. I would love to connect with like minded believers who are working toward a common goal.

Thankful to see “friends in faith”. Looking forward to the changes that God will accomplish in my life in 2013.

Hi count me in too

I am weak, but he is strong. I really know how weak I am. I really have to find a way to give up the sugar. I love sugar (and chocolate). I know he answers prayer. So, I pray he helps us give up the foods/food substitues that are bad for the bodies he created.
