Hi Katie,

I went to that site yesterday afternoon after reading you post to check it out.

I signed up and have just done the day 2 lesson. it is great and it is so far biblically correct.

It is already changing my life for weeks now I have struggled to get out of bed in the morning, I have been feeling kinda hopless, not losing this weight, feeling weighed down knowing god was missing.

This morning I jumped out of bed went straight into the computer with my cup of coffee and focused on Jesus, I have HOPE!!!

Thank you for recccommending this site.

Are you doing the course?

Jade

Yes, I tried that program, but felt under alot of stress, because I am a perfectionist and found it hard to fast. I now attend LA Weight Loss and have lost 45 pounds, so far-we all gotta find something that works for us. I am glad there are so many choices, because there are so many different types of people lol.

i did and i enjoyed the bible studies and i enjoyed the fasting... but i realized that i wasn't treating it correctly...

on those fasting days i was very cranky and i was ill tempered. i prayed and prayed about it, but was more and more discouraged. in the end i realized that it was because i was not doing this as God needed me to do it. the overall of it was, i was detroying my metabolism. i was to learn "moderation".. not all or nothing... and that's how i was learning their teachings whether they meant for me to learn it that way or not...

fasting went from being an intimate and joyful experience to me, to a demand to God, that he see my pain, my struggles, my this and that, because i deserve it and i worked hard for it, and then intense anger when he didn't reward me as i felt i should be rewarded...

this wasn't their fault, please don't hear me to say that. this was mine. i don't know why i took this on so strongly and personally... but i do know that i had to really study out fasting in an extremely intense way...

when i realized the heart i was bringing into it, i used that to beat myself up more and more....

then i repented... i just now work on getting my milks in, getting my fruits and veggies in, getting my water in, and getting the exercise in. the exercise is the hardest part because the idea is that i have osteo arthritis... so my sacrifice is to really learn how to exercise "just right"... not too much, and not too little. too much has really disastrous consequences on me, and too little is too discouraging and keeps me not just from losing the weight, but is bad for my body. i NEED the exercise so that i can move around in my life better...

Hi. I'm currently taking "The Lord's Table" at settingcaptivesfree and just finished Day 19. I have lost 6 pounds.

There are two eating option plans. The first plan includes fasting. Plan 2 does not include fasting. I chose Plan 2 after I saw the fasting wasn't working for me. It slows my metabolism down.

It's a good program and I really do enjoy the bible study!
I actually look forward to it. And it's fun to mark down how I exercised and for how long.

plan 2 must be new. They didnt used to have another option without fasting.

I purchased the book and connected with the website. I thought the studies were good. The testimonies were good.

I found the problem was: they say it's not about dieting, but then they give you a "diet plan". Now some might say it's not a diet plan as such, but a suggested eating plan. The truth is: if you don't do the studies and following the suggested eating plan, you will lose weight. Why? Because you are restricting your calories. I found it was doing what they said you shouldn't do: follow a particular eating plan, do what the "rules" say and you lose weight. I didn't feel right with that.

Option number 2 in the eating plans is eating only when your stomach grumbles. I know that sounds silly, but it is teaching me to make my meals smaller so that I will be hungry in a few hours so that I can eat again.

The scriptures stay in my heart permanently. The bible study is a heart change, which leads to a lifestyle change.

Many people LOSE weight effectively, and then gain it back. This heart-behavior change that takes place through studying the scriptures enables me to have faith that I can keep the weight off.

It's more about Jesus than it is the self. He's the one I have to rely upon for strength. He cares about the little things; even if I only need to lose 10 more pounds, He's still in this with me.

Hello everyone I'm on day 25 and I'm doing plan 1 a bit adjusted for my routine. Its been a true miracle for me. I'm one that has tried every or nearly every weightloss imaginable. Though I have succeeded on several on and off its always been with a lot of difficulty to overcome cravings and stick to the diet. With this course from day one my cravings have honestly miraculously been reduced to where they are minimal and I can control them. It may be a diet but what the course itself has shown me has really accomplished what no other diet or pill was able to accomplish for me to reduce my cravings to normal instead of compulsive and constant. I even quit taking the appetite suppresant pills that I was taking after a week into the course. Though its for overeating I have found to relate it to so many other areas in my life too were I have been struggling for years. Its been a true blessing for me to find this website. Opened my eyes to how I needed to really give my life and myself fully to God to find the true happiness and peace that God has always wanted for me.
