I have kept off 15 lbs & 4 inches for 1 1/2 years!
I have stable blood sugar, better sleep and better mood so that I wake up energized and able to be more engaged and serve my family, church and community!
I am married with three kids, a certified teacher and homeschooling my kids. We are an active and busy family and love to serve our church and community.
I tried multiple diets and ways of losing weight such as intermittant fasting, Facebook groups, Beach Body, Trim Healthy Mama, etc., but stayed on a cycle of losing and gaining weight, always returning to my old ways of eating. Just before HFL, I was so desperate that I was searching online for diet pills.
When praying about my health, I felt God was silent. In hindsight, I can see that God was preparing my heart and mind for the changes to come.

with my family, go on walks, enjoy habbies and just experience more joy overall.
There have been major changes to my mind and heart. I've learned that God DOES care about my health and I thank God for how he and HFL have shown me a new way of eating and living.
Initially, I worried about affording healthy foods, but by removing the foods from my grocery cart that were not serving me, it made room in my budget for nutrient-dense options that supported my goals.
The habit tracker is a key tool that helps me focus on progress as well.
It also reminds me of my daily intentions every morning, increasing the chances of me completing each habit.
The community forum is such an encouragement and connects me to others also "doing the thing."
I appreciate that God is at the front and center of the HFL program.
Since starting my journey with HFL, I am better able to manage any self-condemning thoughts. Instead, I tend to focus more on the progress I've made, like keeping off 15 pounds and 4 inches for the last year and a half (no more roller coaster weight loss!).
The benefits of this program go far beyond the weight and inches lost, though.
My blood sugar is balanced and energy levels are through the roof! My sleep is better and I wake up feeling refreshed. My overall mood is better and I can be more present
