In today's story, we're excited to show you a unique interview with a recent graduate. This video is unique because Nita was also interviewed at the beginning of her weight loss journey, so you'll get to see a portion of that interview along with her graduation interview. The transformation is truly remarkable! Nita's Story: I am so thankful to have found Grace and Strength Lifestyle through my friend Monica and the encouragement of my daughter, Sarah.

Rebecca's Story: I started this journey with Grace and Strength feeling beat by the world. I was overwhelmed with the feeling of being a failure and not knowing what my purpose in this world was a part from serving my God. Prior to starting Grace and Strength I had been led to start honoring God with my food and making my temple/body more pleasing to God. I was in the habit of trying to feel satisfied through eating more and instead of exercising filling my time with the unimportant.

Julie came to us asking some of the more challenging questions that we address throughout our program. She was already asking how God viewed our health. Did he care about it? Was physical health something that had a spiritual impact? Julie's Story: I had been seeking for sometime a Biblical approach to health. But I didn't really even know what I was looking for.

My friend Stacy shared Grace and Strength with me. I was immediately interested and excited about this diet. I was "ready" to be healthy and lose weight.

My exposure to Grace and Strength began this summer when I saw my coach‘s before and after weight loss photo on Facebook. I was blown away by the obvious success she had losing her weight. After inquiring and talking to her and another gal from Grace and Strength, I was really not sure this was something I would do.... What I could not figure out was WHY this program worked.
