50 Inches

I am able to report a 1.1 pound loss this week.  That now brings the total up to 71.1 pounds gone forever!  Another wonderful statistic to report is over the loss of over 50 inches since I started my Life Call journey.  I cannot begin to imagine all the health benefits derived from losing the 71 pounds and the 50 inches, but I am so grateful.

It is much easier to get around now.  Even though I can still forecast rain with my arthritis, I would say it is a quarter of the pain I was experiencing before.

I hope everyone has a good week in the Lord.

70 lbs. of Weight Gone Forever!

Praise the Lord I made it!  70 pounds are now gone forever!  I am so happy with the weight loss.  This is where I never thought I would ever be.  I know that sounds strange.  I’m sure most would say, “Of course you can if you follow the correct diet and exercise”.  I truly did not think it was possible for me.  I had failed so many times before.  Thanks, be to God all things are possible through Him. He sent Dr. Paul Baker, Dr. Patrick Baker and the wonderful staff at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness into my life and now look at what I have been able to accomplish.

I cannot say it has been easy, but it certainly is worth it.  The Life Call program is much easier than most weight loss diets.  You simply eat what you are suppose to eat, healthy and nutritious foods. There are no counting calories, figuring out points, etc.

One of the most wonderful things happened to me in church.  I realized I didn’t encroach on others in my seat anymore.  Our church has stadium seating and I was always so sorry and tried to hold my body in so I would not take up part of other’s seating area.  Whenever I would go to a sporting event, I would try to hold my body over for hours, which was so uncomfortable, because I did not want to be one of those people who took up my seat and part of the seat others had paid for.

Thank you, Lord, for this and many other blessings you have given me in my weight loss journey.  I wish everyone a great week!

Thank you, Dr. Paul Baker, Dr. Patrick Baker and everyone at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness for the critical support needed to stay on the right path in my Life Call journey.

A Changed Outlook and Restored Hope

I had the privilege of baby sitting my baby granddaughter, Lily, this afternoon. I couldn’t help thinking how different my outlook on life is now and the restored feeling of hope being on my Life Call journey.

My thoughts were once dominated by questions of whether I would be around to watch and enjoy my grandchildren grow.  Now, I believe that I will and I savor every precious moment spent with them.

The Lord is in control of my life. With His guidance, renewed confidence and a healthy lifestyle, the future is brighter than ever. I look forward to each and every day.

This weeks loss was only .2 pounds, but I am nevertheless grateful for that.

My weight was up a little yesterday. Dr. Paul Baker and I discussed it and determined it was just water weight gain because my diet stayed the same. One doesn’t loose 1.6 pounds overnight unless it is fluid.

Hope everyone has a great week and thank you, Lord, for your blessings on us.

It is never too late to get healthy, take control of your life, change your outlook and restore hope!

Healthy to Enjoy Life’s Rewarding Moments

These have been an eventful and busy couple of weeks.  Because of my weight loss achievements, I am delighted to report that I attended my son’s graduation and did more walking on the Ohio State University campus than I ever thought I could.

Before my Life Call,  I was wondering if I would even be alive to celebrate my son’s graduation from graduate school!

My son was the first to really work with me to lose weight and then when Dr. Paul Baker presented me with the blessed opportunity for a Life Call, I knew this was the path the Lord wanted me to take.  I am so grateful for everyone who has blessed me with their support and help along the way!

I have now lost a total of 66.9 pounds.  I have 70 pounds in my sights and will work tirelessly to obtain that goal.  I have trimmed my diet even more and my workouts are going great.  I can see the results in my body. Muscle is replacing fat. That’s what Dr. Paul said was going to happen. Now, I am actually seeing it!

I also had a wonderful experience at my medical doctor’s office this week.  My EKG, and all my other results were as she put it, “PERFECT”.

My health was going down hill fast before my Life Call started late last year. It’s such a blessing to be leading a “Healthy Life” now so I can enjoy life and all its rewarding moments. Praise the Lord!

Relieving Pain Without Medications

This week was a great week for weight loss! I added 3.4 pounds to my total weight lost bringing the amount up to 65.5 pounds lost forever!

I have had some health issues this week.  I have diverticulitis and I have had a flare up.  I used to take an antibiotic to get it healed back up, but with Dr. Paul Baker’s chiropractic adjustments we are working to resolve it without the use of prescription medications.  So far so good.  I still feel a little weak but most of the pain has subsided.

Lord’s willing, I will make it through without having to put medications into my body.  Thank you, Baker Chiropractic and Wellness!

Hope everyone has a healthy week and may God bless all you do for Him.

Thanks to All Those Who Give Us Freedom

The past two weeks have been rather busy and I can report another 2.2 pound weight loss.  That makes a grand total of 62.1 pounds lost forever!

I want to thank any troops that might be reading my blog.  I do not take our freedom or your service for granted and am so grateful the Lord lets us live in this great land.  Let’s all remember those who have lost their lives defending freedom here and abroad.  I pray for the families of these brave men and women as well.

I hope everyone has a nice blessed Memorial Day weekend and safe travels!

Happy Mother’s Day!

I only lost .4 pounds,  but nevertheless I am glad it is a loss.  That makes 59.9 pounds lost forever!

It had better be forever because I gave away nearly all my clothes to the Albania Missionary Project.  I certainly hope they get some good use out of them.  Everyone can pray for this project.  It is to set up a Christian Women’s Counseling Center in Albania.

May all of the Mother’s out there have a most wonderful Mother’s Day and if you haven’t trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ to take you to heaven I can think of no other gift that would be better to receive this year.

Great health to you all!

Success is sweeter than sugar!

This week was a better week for weight loss.  I was pleasantly surprised to have lost 2.4 pounds after the slight amount last week.  I could hardly believe it!

It is so encouraging to continue on my Life Call journey.  I have now lost a total of 56.7 pounds, gone forever!  Praise the Lord for His goodness.

I look around at people sometimes and I see what a burden they must feel carrying all of that weight around Although I have a lot more weight to loose, my Life Call has shown me there is a better way and sometimes I am able to share that with people.

I think  the sugar people are consuming is so difficult for the body to process.  I wish refined sugar were never invented, then people would not be so addicted to it.  Some I have shared my story with say, “I would never be able to do that” (to cut the refined sugar out of their diet) and I say, “Yes you can,”  but then they say the real reason is they don’t want to.

I hope that if you are reading this you can be encouraged to do so. It will make life much “sweeter”!
