Hello all. I have been a member of the Catholic Answer forums, but never new about this group, I accidently found you by googling catholic weight loss forums and you came up. I hope you don't mind me joining. I am not sure how to get here from the home page of catholic answers, but I am sure I will figure it out or someone will direct me. I am at work now, so I may have to stop and post if a customer walks in, which one just did. I will post more later. God bless.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. It's such a blessing to be able to share the burden of being overweight with people of the same faith. CahtolicChick you and I have the same signature except mine is in French and I am not smart enough to put a picture with it.

Have a blessed evening.

HI everybody. After years of procrastination I've finally started to take my health seriously. I am hoping to find friendly support here and I"m sure I won't be disappointed.

Welcome jcjennie! I am also new to this group, I consider it a blessing to even have found it. Unfortunately I am not new to being overweight, but with the intercession of Our Lady and God's Grace I hope to acheive a healthy weight. Have a blessed day.

Hello everyone. So far this week my eating has been ok, could be better, could be worse I guess. The weekends are really hubby and I's major problem. Like St. Paul, I do not do the things I should and I do the things I should not(not an exact quote, but you get the idea) so I am asking St. Paul to intercede for me and to help me WANT and then to DO the things I should when it comes to my eating. Have a blessed day.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I feel SO blessed to have found this group...I have been visiting CAF for a few months and finally joined. Then I stumbled across this group!

I am an at home mom who is definately struggling with my weight gain over the past 10 years. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and thankfully have broken away from that. Unfortunately I am now in a bit of a pickle. I have always floated around the "overweight" area of the BMI charts, but after I had my son I was 5 foot tall and 189 pounds...not as bad off as I could be, but certainly not healthy. I have been watching my intake and trying to walk daily and am now down to 171

I do need help in getting back to a healthy weight and I look forward to visiting with you all

Shannon

Thought I would just pop in and say I just joined this group. I posted a small bit on the wall, but then I found this. Not really sure where I should post.

Anyway, I am looking forward to sharing the struggle of weight loss and excersize with other members.

God Bless,

Hey, gang, I posted on one of Catholic Chick's other threads ( I think you call them) a website that is a Catholic Based Spritiual Growth Program. It teaches you the "Rock Facts" of our faith and also works with you on eating, so there is a "Side effect" of weight loss. I have experienced 40 pounds of side effect with this group. I am taking them off slowly, but I am keeping off what I have lost.

www.lightweigh.com

I am not with the organization. I am someone who stumbled on the program February 2008 and that September discovered that I had to take over the group or watch it dissapear. If you have questions about the group in general I would be happy to answer them. If you have specific questions about the program, e-mail them. they can direct you to a group in your area or help you to start one. It's easy and little work involved by you.

Blessings
