So, you think you can make me and my 5 fellow weight loss class chunky's enjoy themselves while fighting back the fat? Fat chance, we said. Then, we read this book! A collective 60+ lbs later, we, in our newfound size 6,8 & 10 joyful bodies are still chuckling and re-reading this wonderful book. "Faithfully Fit" contains scripturally based curricula including anecdotes, daily steps and tasks, and tools for real change for health and true fitness. If you don't read this book, you are missing an opportunity to change your life. "Faithfully Fit" is a permanent fixture in my kitchen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Tool of Encouragement, September 19, 2000

This review is from: Faithfully Fit (Paperback)

Claire Cloninger and Laura Barr have written a powerful "little" book about being "Faithfully Fit"....I began reading it each day and 17pounds later I continue to "reread" it....just wish it was for 365 days of the year. I learned so much about how to change my thinking. Not only on the foods I choose but also how God looks at us as "whole" people - body, mind and spirit. I highly recommend this book for motivation and "correct thinking" in acheiving the "Temple" God desires for us.

Maybe I'm the exception, but this is the first time I've ever thought about diet (not dieting but lifestyle) and exercise as a God thing. It's always been a me against myself struggle where I always came up short in the end.

It seems so obvious now that it's almost embarassing. God can do all things including help you move to a healthy life style in a supporting and loving way. The authors are ladies after my own heart. They clearly identify with same lifestyle issues I struggle with and write in a way that I get.

My mom and I did this together, long distance, and will continue to reread it again and again. It is that powerful and that good. A few months and 20+ pounds later, it's too early to truly say with certainty, but I think it's life changing book for me. I highly recommend!
