10pounds10weeks - start: 4/9 end: 6/18

You are invited to join us in a 10 week challenge.

We are ... strong. decisive. united. We cheer each other on and celebrate our wins together!

We will reach our goal of losing 10 pounds in 10 weeks by honoring our bodies and honoring our Creator. Our bodies are His handiwork. We commit to work hard and take care of what He has entrusted to us. We submit our desires to God. He has given us a spirit of power, love and sound mind. We receive the power He wants to give us. In this He is glorified! We lay down our lives, our bodies for Him.
