I'm 21 and trying to lose about fifteen pounds, and at the same time improve my bible study and personal prayers.  I need to get my spirit in shape too!

thanks you guys! Kewinters- I know what you mean, I'm in the same boat.

what age do you consider young. I'm a Christian and Im 42 is that young enough?

Love your fire and passion for the Lord Shannon!  I AM a Christian, but I am 32... =(  So not young... but more than happy to talk to ya...even if I'm not young-n-hip!  LOL!  I hope you get a big group!  Glad to see a couple of younger ones really in it for Jesus!  Hope to see even more join you!  There's another Christian thread on here that I started... but we are in our 30's and 40's I think mostly, but feel free to stop in anytime, all the time!!!  Fire is contageous so bring it! Its called Any Christians out there want to get their temples in shape.... or something like that???

Blessings to you too Shannon, I'm 24, and 5'5" tall and around 180 lbs. I am trying to lose weight (again) and keep it off. I would love the motivation. I know the Lord wants our bodies (and spirits)to be healthy, so I am working on my physical, as well as spiritual discipline in Jesus Christ.

I am 27 and Catholic. I'm trying to lose the final 5 pounds - its hard!

I am 32 and a Christian.  I have lost 4 pounds and this is my 9th day and I have 46 more to go!

HI ALL I am 27, just had my first child and am Christian. I lost 20 pounds last year regained 6 on a looong vacation to Europe. Finally concieved our miracle, I gained 30 pounds during my pregnancy. I have 10 pounds left to lose to get back to my prepregnancy weight and another 9 to get to my goal weight.

Woot Woot...look at all these Christians in the house!

I'm 33 years YOUNG...although my 9 year old teases me that I was around to hang out with Jesus! Little stinker...maybe I should ground her?! lol

I hope all of the 'young' ones have great active Youth Groups in your churches. Associating with like-minded peeps can be a great source of strength and encouragement. I know our youth at church are ALWAYS together...on the go...and seeking fellowship with one another. Makes less room for the Devil to do his dirty work!

I've lost 28 pounds and have about 57 more to go. Not easy...but I've met the most wonderful group of Christians here and Jesus will ALWAYS meet my needs.

Much love,

Chubby

Awwww....Chubs... are you talking about us! 

Glad to see this thread is picking up!!!  You'll be glad you started in Shannon!  By the way my whole family plays the guitar and yeah some of them do it 4Jesus too!  So cool!  Talk to ya later! 

I am a pround Christian, and I'm 18, is that a little young? ;-)
My boyfriend [Catholic] and I are trying to lose weight, and I'm happy to say our dieting plan is working!
I'd be happy to add you, and I'll be praying for your success!

Hey G4J!  Hope you have as much fun in your thread as we're having in ours... (I'm in the other Christian Group!)  We're about to start a challenge, once you get a group together, it might be something ya'll want to do too... I'm excited about it!  (I'm gonna kick they're sorry little behinds... don't tell 'em I said that).  We've included Spiritual Fitness as well as Physical in the challenge.

Tracker...Tracker...Tracker...I just can't believe you had to come over to this thread to rally up support! Oh the shame!

You know good and well I am the QUEEN of hiney-kicking! ;)

Smooches!

Chubby

Tracker- I LOVE that challenge idea.  I've copied it below from you profile.  Can I add a suggestion?  How about some points for serving others? 
My King James Bible Galations 5:13 reads: "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another".  Does anyone have an easier translation?  Anyway, I think it is a great motto.  Don't let our bodies be gluttonous and greedy, but spend that energy helping others!

Challenge For the Month of July - CCCC

• 15 min Exercise = 3 pts
• 8 oz Water = 2 pts
• Each serving Fruit/Vegetables = 1 pt
• Each day with time spent in the Word of God = 2 pts
• Each pound lost = 1 pt
• Each inch lost = 1 pt

You can find all kinds of translations at biblegateway.com.  Here's the New International Version:

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

I think it would be hard to measure serving others.  This is our first challenge, so I'm sure we'll tweak the next one.  We've thought about penalties... maybe deduct points if you acted selfishly towards someone.   It might be fun, if you guys get a group together to have a group challenge.  30s/40s vs Teens/20s.  (Something to think about for another day).

(HEY!  I didn't know you were watching Chubbs...  Well, Bring it on, Sister!)

Hi Ya'll! I am a 25 year old Christian chick looking to lose around 35 pounds. I would love to be a part of this group, as I need all the support I can get.

Oh  you girls!  Sorry guys!  I need to keep them in line... they think they are gonna win and come over here bugging you all.. when they know it is no use... I am gonna be the one with the win under my belt... which I will need to hold up my pants after all this weight I lose!!  LOL!

Hey I like the idea of you guys getting together and challenging the young Christians agains the 'old' ones!  LOL!  I don't feel old.. but I am old-er!  But not as old as some of the ones on there!  LOL!  But that would be cool.. why don't you guys get a group together by July 1 too...if you can.  That would be so cool!  And I kinda like the idea of helping others being points too... but I think we have so much already... but if its going to be two teams then you guys should have a vote too in all that we decide so we all can keep it fair.  But anybody is welcome to join our challenge too... just send me a pm and I'll add ya to the list.... IF YOU THINK YOU ALL CAN HANDLE IT!  LOL!

But I really do like the idea of two teams the young vs. the old-er!  LOL!  What do you all think... can you get a team together?  Might need to make a thread about it.  Any young Christians wanna beat the old Christian's in a Challenge???  It might draw more young Christians too!  I say do it!  But just a thought!  What do ya say Shannon?  Think you can do it by July 1 (Sunday)?

Ang...that's funny!

YOU are so busted considering I just saw your post about having to exercise MORE today cause' you were a BAD girl!!!!

I'm gonna win. Neener neener neener!

Hmmmm...bragging is probably not very Christian like. I'll pray about that one tonight! ;)

Come on youngsters...join the Geritol challenge!
