Inside Changes—Outside Results

Michelle Halbrook · Missouri

After a lifetime of struggling with my weight, in March 2003, I was finally willing to surrender it to God. He led me to start with exercise. So on March 17, 2003, at 334 pounds, size 28, I got up at 6 a.m. to start a 30-minute daily exercise program on TV. It was difficult and exhausting but God helped me.

Later He led me to your Web site where Marty’s teachings on weight loss and nutrition gave me hope, scriptures to stand on and filled me with faith.

By January I had lost about 75 pounds. I asked the Lord to help me reach my goal of 180 pounds by my 30th birthday in July. I increased my exercise to an hour a day and joined a support group with weekly weigh-ins for accountability.

July 8, my birthday, I reached my goal of 180 pounds—a total weight loss of 154 pounds! Praise God. The teachings from Marty and KCM fed my spirit and began a change on the inside that is now evident on the outside. Now as I believe God for the grace to maintain my weight, I believe the outward change will last because it came from inside. I will truly walk in victory and freedom regarding weight, nutrition and fitness. Thank you for allowing God to use you.
