How Denny and I lost weight.

Believe me when I say that I understand the frustration of being heavier than you want to be, but not really knowing what to do about it.  I remember saying a couple of months ago, "if I just had a plan, I could be a more disciplined eater."  I know you may say, "yeah right", but it's true for me.  If I have a plan, I typically do a pretty good job of following it.  Not always, but most the time.

I typically gain weight over the winter and this winter was no exception.  Only difference was, I started gaining weight in October, when usually I don't gain 'til Jan/Feb.  But my work schedule, plus our home schedule kept us hopping this year.  I was ran crazy at work, and gone every night at home.  The only time I could have exercised would have been FIRST thing in the morning, or LAST thing at night.  To be honest, I spend time with Jesus first thing in the morning, and I did not want to give that up.  And, to be honest, by the time the end of the night would roll around, I would be exhausted!  To add to all of that, due to the craziness of our schedule, I found myself somewhat stressed out, and was finding comfort in food more than ever.  That's not good.

That's one thing that God is teaching me on this diet (which I think of as more of a fast) is that I should not find my comfort in anything, ANYTHING, but Him!

Denny and I are both doing this diet.  He has lost 20lbs in four weeks, and I've lost 14.  If you too are looking for a plan, click here to see the diet we are following.  We heard about this plan from our friend Linda Noel.  If you're local, then you may know Linda, or at least remember that her husband Jeff used to be our preacher at FCC Marshall.  They are also the couple responsible for leading me and Denny to FCC.  If I remember correctly, Linda lost 30 lbs in 40 days on this diet, and has kept it off for nearly a year.

Our drummer on the FCC praise team, Jerry Vickery, also has done this diet and he lost 48 lbs in 40 days.  So, if you're interested in trying it here is the link.  I recommend that you read EVERYTHING that is on the site, including Dr. Simeon's manual. The diet is very strict, and you won't want to miss a thing.

Feel free to ask me questions.
