Rating:  Summary: Do all things in His name? Review: I thought I had read and seen everything there was to see to on the subject of weight loss. I have even tried a multitude of plans, which in the end promise the same results with similar methods. Most of these plans and methods will work for a little bit of time, but none of these plans have or promise what FIT FOR GOD does - a relationship with God. La Vita Weaver brings inspirational energy to a field that is filled with assurances of better health and bodies that often leave people feeling hopeless and like failures. In FIT FOR GOD, Weaver shares her story of food addiction and how she finally took control of her health.FIT FOR GOD outlines a plan for living that is Biblically based and supported by scientific information. Weaver marries the weight loss struggle with your personal relationship with God. She suggests a number of motivational techniques that are designed to let the person grow spiritually while developing better eating and exercise habits. She presents the plan as an eight week journey which could take longer depending on where you are emotionally in your fitness journey. Although Weaver utilizes some of the basic tools of the trade i.e., journaling, increasing water intake and exercise, she couples them with biblical scripture that brings new meaning to getting fit. One of the things that make this plan workable is that the author encourages readers to change their view of things. For example, week two is on increasing water intake. Weaver begins this section by discussing the significance of water in the Bible she then segues into personal anecdotes on how she increased her intake. She shares that she calls water "glory" then pointedly asks readers, "Have you had your glory today?" FIT FOR GOD is weight loss from a Christian perspective that eliminates the hopelessness of failed weight loss methods. Reviewed by Diane Marbury of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

Rating:  Summary: The first half of the book alone worth the price Review: I'm not even done with the book yet, but I have to say, I am really enjoying it so far. When Pastor Weaver describes her life...the troubled upbringing, the poor life choices, the panicked feeling of not being able to help herself...I can relate. When she talks about her approach to dealing with the pain...I can relate. When she states that the solution is in God FIRST, and getting into His Word, I am nodding my head enthusiastically. I feel that this is what God has been telling me for a while now. I'm just a slow listener. Her eight week plan starts off with preparing yourself through scripture first, and I think that that is extremely important. For most of us, the thought of dieting again is filled with anxiety and panic. We try to do it under our own power, and for me, that has never, ever worked for the longterm. I highly recommend this book for Christians, especially women. And for anyone else willing to hear the message in it.
