It is a huge encouragement to me that so many are willing to pray for me -- those of you who specifically agreed to pray will be added to my deck o' cards tonight! When the novelty of this wears off (any minute, now) and when (perish the thought) a week comes in which I don't see positive results on the scale, I'll need strength and discipline to keep on. I see no reason to do this in my own strength -- I'd rather do this in God's strength and give Him the glory! Thank you all, for your encouragement and kind words.

I will be praying for you as you journey down this road of healthy living. I KNOW you can do it. You are tied into the Lord who will give you strength!

Being overweight is a health issue that sometimes can be taken too lightly but if you look at it as something that can be (and is a lot of the time) a death threat then maybe it will give added incentive. Your family needs you greatly!!!!!! My husband is struggling with high cholesterol and is so good about doing everthing right to get it down. All because he knows he needs to be there for us. ( I hope that doesn't come across as prideful or boasting) You can do it Tim!!!!

Mom says she needs to lose, but her amount is miniscule compared to mine. Recently at a visit with an orthopod, I mentioned that perhaps some of my problems with my knee were because of obesity. He immediately corrected me and said I was not obese, but we both agreed that at my age, it might be good to lose about 20-25 lbs. Back when I was on the polyp-prevention trial at Walter Reed in the early 90's I actually dropped to 160 lbs and family & friends wondered if I was dying, since I was so thin. So, I know it can be done. When you put it in spiritual terms it is very convicting. So, I'm taking a hard look at working on it. We'll be praying for you in this regard.

Thanks for being honest (and funny!) all at the same time. Having humor with this will be a huge help!!! You will find success because God, in you, has caused this awakening. He's there to help, encourage, and strengthen you for this task. You've got an AWESOME team at the Edgren house who'll be cheering you on too! :) I'll be praying, buddy!!! Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! 2 Cr. 3:17 Tim – I will commit to pray for you. Thanks for being honest (and funny!) all at the same time.

Not only was it taking away from time to do other things, but some of the shows I was watching were not glorifying to God. I was very nervous about this, as over the last 8 years since Aidan was born TV has become my escape. But since I was sure God was behind this, I trudged forward and promptly deleted all my inappropriate shows from my Tivo. One week later, I don't miss it at all. And I feel elated from the freedom. God will give you what you need to do this if it is from Him. I'll be praying for you. Tim – I recently felt God was asking me to give up my every evening TV watching.
