It’s not just a matter of going for a walk. For a lot of people, weight loss means exercising two or three times a day—say, weights + running + swimming. Building muscle raises the metabolic rate and indirectly causes fat reduction. There have been times when I was doing all that and I still wasn’t losing weight. But eventually I got it straightened out and lost about 65 pounds. And I have kept off for 25 years. It does take discipline.
Yes.
We have gotten so used to a fad medication to help each little issue we have. God gave us our spirit, soul and body with our own choice what to do with it. He also gave us earth with plants and animals for our nutrition and healing.
I need to loose 12 pounds and have needed to do so for two decades. Two decades of age on my body (!!!) has begun to show that the extra weight is putting pressure on joints and the fat slowing me down..so I am trying to begin Lent with a newness of soul (mind, will and emotion) by filling my spirit with Jesus and beginning the outward change of my body.
