So true

This video comes at just the right time! I think my missing ingredient has been not inviting God on the journey to help me where I am weak! Such an inspiring and practical video! Thank you! ❤

Crazy I prayed to God today to help me with my health journey after hearing so many different things I felt overwhelmed and confused and I kept saying “I am weak but you are strong”- just had my first daughter and plan (God willing) to get pregnant again soon and I want to make sure I’m taking care of my body as much as possible so it will be strong and healthy to grow children - then your video just came on randomly after I was watching some lady talking about her walking every day - Praise Jesus He always takes such good care of us and the Holy Spirit leads us to what we need it right when we need it - thanks for you video

Nothing motivates like success!

It was meant for me to hear this. My devotional today was that very scripture. Yes God’s grace is sufficient 🙏🏾

Thank you as always for your transparency - that alone is always so encouraging and inspiring - i didn't watch this because i am overweight - i have always been on the smaller side most of my life UNTIL ... I hit my late 40's ... I am now in my 50's - And now no matter what i do what few pounds i have put on REFUSE to leave ... But my greatest take -a- ways from this video had nothing to do with weight loss but applies to life in general and that was hearing you say " tomorrow will look different" and " God give me the grace ... " My spirit needed to hear those words .

The power of prayer 🫶🏽

I am so blessed by this episode! Nona I first saw you on the Dear Future Wifey podcast and instantly felt like I want to be her! In my mind you were the thin, IT, ambitious, smart, go getter girl who ended up with the great husband and family. I didn't really hone in on the fact that you were a preacher until ur sermons would pop up on my timeline. And wow, what a blessing!!! Your vulnerability and compassion for God as you share the ugly parts of your story have led me to much introspection and hunger for relationship with God. This episode hit so close to home for me. I forgot about my struggle with bulimia from middle school to about sophomore year in college. I thought for thought can relate to how the idea of purging coupled with my binging habit seemed like an aha moment. Thank you for sharing your story! I can actually see my self in your story and it makes me feel powerful. Like I can be HER too, if that makes sense. I have been learning from and enjoying your podcast so much. Also, I just got your new book and am excited to see what you have shared in light of learning how to kill comparisons. As comparison is another shackle that has held me in bondage for as long as i can remember. Thank you for so openly and graciously bringing light to this subject too!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

I so needed this right now!! Restart, refresh, and prayer!! ❤

Yes! Cleaning out your fridge / pantry is good! Change your environment to build up your discipline and habits of health!

I love that this came up on my KZread feed. This was very timely. Strategy and Grace 🎉🙌🏾

Amen! What a blueprint 🙌

Ok y'all this is my victory story from watching this video the other day - I moved into a townhouse 2 years ago - there is a spare bedroom where stuff is just everywhere that never got organized since the move -and Everytime i looked at ALL the stuff i felt defeated about getting started ... in addition to that I got COVID last August - so my energy level has not been great since then - so today I said God give me the grace to work on this room ... And the end result...I was able to make some good progress at getting some stuff organized 😊😊😊😊

How you lost weight?

Look how much WORK, INTENTION CONSISTENCY, DETERMINATION and PRAYER it takes to keep the weight off!!!! This isn’t easy. This episode further cements how human Lady Nona is. She’s extraordinary. But human nevertheless.

That prayer was powerful. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you for sharing your behavioral/mental journey it’s so important to understand the root of our health journey so interesting makes me reflect on my own journey thank you for sharing ❤ one key takeaway out of many for me was: the difference between a wish a goal and a strategy 🤯 sooo good !

Nona, this was a really great story. Thank you for sharing this one ❤

Yesss!! Asking God to help me daily has made a huge difference in my journey. I have a lot to lose, and I know I'll get there with God's help. I pray for consistency and discipline for all of us who are on a weight-loss journey.

It’s 2 a.m and no mistake I ran across this! I am struggling w/weight loss after losing 80 lbs. I’ve gained 15 and need to lose 40. Trying to say no to sweets & bread w/my flesh is no working. I returned to some old habits. I will not gain this weight back, but receive your prayer and will get back asking Gosh to help me! Strategy must be set! Thank you so much ❤.

Thank you always for your transparency. You give the best advices😊

Thank you for being transparent about your journey. I really needed this!❤

Thank you for transparency and encouragement.

Wow, I truly enjoyed this video! telling your story really inspired me to lose weight. I can’t lie. It’s been a journey with me losing weight. My weight has always been up and down and soon as I hit 17 my weight shot up and it’s been Very hard since 17 now at 31 to lose the weight, but I’m going to take your advice. My mind tells me go walk or hit the gym but for some weird reason, my body just cannot connect with what my mind is trying to tell me to do and that right there is motivation to pray and ask God to give me the ability to get up in the morning or go to the gym so this week I’m going to be buying a gym membership so on the weekends or after work I can go to the gym and work out so thank you so much for telling your story and sharing what your journey has been trying to lose weight because it’s easy to pack it on, but it is not easy to get it off lol but thank you for these types of videos and keep them coming always ❤ -Eprell

Very very good ! I needed this…..

I can see myself running! 🏃‍♀️

Love love love this. 😊

This was Excellent. Thanks Nona😊

Thanks so much for sharing! I started my journey AGAIN 6 years after having my daughter, and going through a really emotional couple of years in my marriage. I needed this to kickstart the next phase because I felt like giving back in. Definitely going to incorporate prayer! ❤️

❤ Love it all!!!! Thank you for sharing especially that prayer makes THE difference 🙏

You will not believe this, l have been saved for sometime now, and last night l look up scriptures on overeating 😮 it’s God’s word but l’ve never related his word to my struggles with food. Thanks Sis , very enlightening, now l understand what my husband has been trying to tell me, l need to have a strategy. You made it so plain to me.

Thank you for sharing. ❤

Great idea! Was going anyway to ask you if you can make a show on this theme

Love when I see you in the YouVersion bible app❤️Was excited to find you here! I’m on a journey now too. That’s what led me here. I relate so much to your story. I was bullied growing up at school and at home for my weight too. I’m almost 42 years old now. I lost over 100lb when I was 32. Went from size 2x 18/20 to a size 4/6 small. From 250lb to 140lb. Exercised and ate healthy to get to my goal. I got extreme towards the end of my weight loss journey turning to unhealthy measures like you did to loose more. I stopped the madness but didn’t realize new challenges were coming. A year after losing the weight, I developed an autoimmune disease called multiple sclerosis. Due to autoimmune, I’ve put about 20lbs back on in the past few years. Medications and low mobility create problems. I’m trying hard to get these 20lbs back off despite my physical limitations. Most exercise is seated and limited. I have to watch very carefully what I eat. Fatigue and physical chronic pain don’t help either. I’m determined to not give up regardless of my challenges. I’ve been so unhappy with my weight lately. I honestly wasn’t happy at a size small either. Unless you can get surgery, sometimes the body doesn’t look great after weight loss. Clothes disguise much. If I had been able to do the surgery years ago, I probably still would have not been pleased. That’s because it’s an internal thing a person is dealing with too. You have to find your worth. I am always reminding myself of how God sees me so I don’t succumb to thoughts of low self worth. We all have to find our worth in Jesus. I’m trying to focus on health vs dress size now. Being inflicted with autoimmune has helped put many things into perspective for me. God works all things for our good (Romans 8:28). And all the glory is His🙌🏻 Turning to Jesus will help us be overcomers, rather our battle is weight or anything else! Thank you for the ending prayer! Blessings my sister in Christ Jesus our Lord🙏🏻 ❤️ Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I really enjoyed your video, specially putting God first. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work. I am now a subscriber!

Thank you for sharing your story...very inspirational weight loss journey which also applies to life's journey. Turning to God in our weakest moments makes us stronger in the end🙏🏾❤️

Prayer makes the difference

They called me miss piggy too and my family would always say I was fat too your story is my story everything you said in this video I remember it being my life thanks for sharing your story

Amen!

Amen Amen Amen ❤

As someone who has been yoyo dieting for years - YES inviting GOD has made all the difference. One day I just broke down and surrender to God, repented from gluttony and asked Him to take the taste of sugar and unhealthy foods out of my mouth and He has!! The self-control He has given me can only come from the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

The skinny comment is so offensive! It's so unnecessarily mean spirited and I'm glad that you're addressing this issue.

In Jesus name Amen 🙏🏽

What are you doing now to maintain?

What has been your strategy to keep it all the years?

🙏

Not me my goal is to get closer to God, myself and make a million❤
