SUCCESS STORIES

"This book has been a wonderful asset to our church's small group ministry. As a member of our church's Health Team, I chose to facilitate a study and quickly I had 19 members to sign up (3 are men). Each week our discussions revolve around the week's theme, but what I like is that that the book lends itself to so many items of interest in the health field, that we have a hard time sticking to our hour of class. Besides the information by Carol and Maggie on the week's theme, I really enjoy the devotions, as they're so down to earth and applicable to our everyday lives. Keep up the good work - I hope to teach this class more times in the future, and I look forward to other publications along this same line. May God bless you all as you have done for our 3-D ministry!"

"I was involved in a 3D group over the summer and it was the deepest spiritual experience I've had in a very long time."
~Sue Updike

"The women in our group seemed to be truly thankful to have a place where they could talk about their needs and struggles and be loved and helped."
~Carolyn Graves

"I like knowing it is God's influence and a desire to please Him that is helping me change my life and not necessarily a desire to lose weight. I have tried the other programs and want something that is more permanent."
~Peg South

"I have come to the conclusion, through the years of bible study, that I can't be successful at anything without the help of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, this program spoke directly to my heart. I'm glad I'm not on a strict diet, because I know I wouldn't have stuck to it... I know how I'm supposed to eat, and this program is helping me keep on track."
~Janet Meier

I have come to be convinced, after many years of struggling to keep my weight down to a healthy level, that the effort to regulate my food intake is only part of the total picture. What are the issues behind my over-eating? A faith-based program is not afraid to address such deeper questions. I appreciate the non-diet emphasis. I think the devotions... are outstanding."
~Brad Lyle

"I chose to participate in Your Whole Life 3D program because it offered more than what all the other weight loss programs offered. I have learned a lot about healthy food choices, but even more about the spiritual aspect. It is my goal to incorporate all I have learned in every area of my life."
~Monica Stickland

"I chose a faith-based program because I have grown to appreciate the intricate connection between faith and wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. I love the non-diet approach the 3D offers because I now can look at food as a means to good health and wholeness. I have been very successful at making changes for me and my family without totally being denied of the occasional "splurge." It is a way of life, not just a temporary fix. It's an answer to lots of prayers offered."
~Sarah Schindler

"I first joined 3D about seven years ago. I was overweight, got tired easily, had high blood pressure that was not controlled, and osteopenia. Through 3D, I lost 60 pounds in less than 2 years. The results physically are that I have more energy, my blood pressure is normal, and the osteopenia is controlled. But more important to me, is the impact 3D had on my spiritual life. The devotions are outstanding and have helped me understand myself and the role God has in my life. I am more active in my church and faith as a result of this program."
~Helen Harms

"Our church sponsors not one but four 3D groups and collectively the members have lost hundreds of pounds. I myself have lost 60 pounds on the program and am still losing weight. Because of the personal insights I¹ve gained with 3D I now believe that I have a serious shot at keeping the pounds off for good."
~Donna Doan

"I lost 60 pounds and love the exercise program that I have put myself on. I am healthier now than I have been in 25 years, I feel great and look pretty good as well. I not only lost weight but stopped smoking."
~Rebecca Bybee

"In 1998 [we] were in a dating relationship but living about 300 miles apart. He began the 3D program with one of the congregations he was serving and I started on my own; however, we continually supported each other over the phone. He lost about 50 lbs. and I lost 25 lbs. [We] were married in 2000 and 3D continues to be a part of our lives. We have been so blessed by the 3D program and have maintained our weight for about 9 years."
