I have struggled with the extra weight for about 5-6 years. Constantly dieting, watching everything I ate and trying to exercise all the time, with no lasting results. The numbers just seemed to continue going up. My career is very hard on me. I work a lot of long days (working 12, 14 & 16 hrs) which are physically and mentally demanding. Most weeks I work 55-60 hrs a week (Mon-Fri).

Sather's Story: I heard about Grace and Strength through my best friend who was going through the program. Every time I talked with her, she was so excited about everything she was learning. She shared with me how the program was challenging her to grow in her walk with the Lord, and to memorize scripture to lean on it in times of need. As a result she was loosing all of this weight and still felt great. I was intrigued! I'm a personal trainer and I have a passion for fitness and health.

Jenny's Story: Last fall I was comparing GNS with another weight loss program. I knew friends who had done both programs and they experienced success. I decided to enroll with GNS because I wanted the spiritual emphasis and accountability. As a Christian, Christ should be part of every area of my life and I realized I had "cubby-holed" Him and left Him out of my "eating cubby". That was going to change!

Watch Jessica as she talks about her weight loss journey and a particularly challenging hurdle she faced along the way.

Stacey's Christian Weight Loss Journey: My journey with weight started when I was in high school, I have struggled for the majority of my life. I started reading about healthy foods and trying to eat healthier approximately five years ago. I learned a lot but still couldn't seem to drop the weight. I prayed and talked to GOD for hours and would lose a few pounds but then put it all back on.
