I am proof that it doesn't matter how much weight you need to lose if the food and weight has come between you and God, or you and your dreams.  I had reached a place in life where I was using food to soften disappointments and to comfort me.  It was my solice.  With no end in sight, I was gaining weight weekly. Grace and Strength felt like an accidental find in my search for a healthy solution.

My name is Pam McGuire. I am 52 years old, married, mother of 6 and a grandmother to 4 beautiful granddaughters. I began 2013 in a size 14. That was two sizes bigger than I was two years prior. I was just about to start purchasing a size 16 and I was disgusted with myself. I no longer recognized the woman in the mirror. I had lost confidence in myself and I had developed a poor self image.

In today's post, we're sharing a video interview with Grace & Strength Graduate and Church Group Leader Renee. Renee has lost 125 pounds with the Grace and Strength Lifestyle Diet Program.! Since starting the program less than a year ago, Renee has not only lost 125 pounds, but she has also stepped into a role as a group facilitator with one of our pilot church groups. She is already helping to inspire and encourage other women to break free from the bondage of unwanted weight.
