Walkin’ Strong CDs

Marty Copeland — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:23:54 +0000

I love to walk fast to your Walkin’ Strong CDs! My best mile was less than 10 minutes and I’m 77 years young! Thank you, Lori

Praise God for Balanced Teaching!

Marty Copeland — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:20:00 +0000

Praise God! I want to let you know about my victory with your teaching! I am the typical “tried dozens of diets but short term results” people. The last diet I tried (and will ever try) was a popular no carb, a lot of protein diet. I did have quick results but not only could I not imagine eating mostly meats the rest of my life, I was having side effects. But Glory to God – as I was “wrestling” with the desire to lose weight vs. the side effects of the diet, I came across your balanced teaching. I had immediate results! Not just weight loss, but an increased desire for knowledge, control over my body, and a desire for receiving from God. In the first 7 weeks time, I am increasing in my knowledge of scripture and wisdom. I have planted and harvested self-control, lost my desire for chocolate, and am receiving freedom from my desire for diet soda. I have lost 13 pounds and 8 ½ inches and have fun shopping now! Praise God for His wisdom and gift He gave you to share with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus is Lord! Sue

Thank you Marty!

Success Story: Marty Copeland is one of my favorites and I have learned a lot about health, fitness, and nutrition from her. She knows a ton, and is so knowledgeable and down-to-earth. Someone you can really relate to. One of the things I really like about Marty is she keeps the spiritual side in it. Her program is called ‘From Faith to Fit.’ She is part of God’s plan to take you higher- spirit, soul and body! I am really thankful for her, and she has helped me get back control of my spirit, soul & body!

I was raised eating healthy foods, and I knew a lot about giving your body the proper nutrition. But I didn’t know about how to put on muscle mass, and build up the physical man. In part to the information that I learned through Marty, I am now able to exercise right, feel great, and put on muscle! Thank you, Marty!

I Can Do This From Faith to Fit 90 Day Challenge!

Marty Copeland — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:00:25 +0000

I started my 90-day challenge yesterday. I did my first fat burning workout today and loved it.

At 225 pounds, I could hardly keep up but I never stopped and I kept my eyes on the lady in the back row of the workout DVD telling myself “if she can do it, so can I.” I so appreciate the way you created that video: with all body types and all fitness levels included. I’ve been enjoying listening to your CD.

Thanks, Marty, and everyone involved, for doing this!

God Loves You the Way You Are Right Now!

Marty Copeland — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:23:13 +0000

When Marty initially asked me to be in the work out video I immediately burst into tears because I felt ashamed and unlovely. However Marty ministered to me and encouraged me to be in the workout video. She said, “God loves you the way you are right now and you should love yourself right now.” I asked God did He really ask her to ask me to be in the Video and He said to me yes. I said, “You have got to be joking! God, have you seen me lately?” Well, I agreed. Participating in the video has help me to love myself no matter what I weigh. I received such an impartation of Grace, from Marty, that has strengthen me on the inside and caused me to build physical strength and endurance. I received such a fresh revelation of how much God loves me and wants me to love myself regardless of what I weigh. During the project Marty encouraged me to confess “I love myself the way I am right now” several times a day. I did that and have continued to do so. I received an impartation of grace and now it seems so easy to lose weight and stay consistent with an exercise program. Glory to God I am experiencing Higher Fitness everyday of my life as a result of participating in this workout project.

Daily Devotions in From Faith to Fit Challenge

Marty Copeland — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:24:09 +0000

What a great opportunity I feel I have been blessed with in this challenge. I wanted to give a piece of advice that I discovered –I spend my morning hours in my own study and devotion so I was thinking about when I wanted to fit in Marty’s devotion….great idea — in the evening when I have run out of calories for the day, I get really hungry (or bored) and want to munch, that’s when I have chosen to do the devotion (for me it’s about 8 pm. that this hits) to get my focus on God and off of my flesh.I hope this helps anyone who may be like me and gets that evening urge to splurge!!!

From Faith to Fit Helped Us Stay On Track During Vacation

Marty Copeland — Fri, 28 May 2010 10:20:15 +0000

My husband and I are still on track. We just got back from a week vacation with our son at the beach. We did really good, with our eating and staying active. Instead of eating out twice a day. We bought groceries at the beginning of the week and only ate out a total of 3 times in 7 days. I told my husband, I could truly tell the difference in my mind set this time verses the other times we’ve gone on vacation. Usually the first day I’ve got the entire week planned out of all the restaurants we’re going to eat at, with all the extremely high calorie food that I’ve now realized. Usually many visits to krispy kreme donuts, restaurants with lots and lots of buttery breads etc. I just really feel so good about this vacation because personally for myself I feel like I was able to focus more on our family time, than where our next fattening meal would be. It’s hard to believe we only have about 46 days left of the 90 day challenge.

Thanks! Melissa

Changing My Eating Habits

Marty Copeland — Mon, 24 May 2010 11:00:13 +0000

SUCCESS STORY ABOUT CHANGING EATING HABITS

I have been doing the leave-something-on-my-plate thing. Always it is the Holy Spirit Who reminds me, sometimes at the last bite! And I have to put it down. Sometimes it is very hard, but once I obey, like you said, He always shows up to help me follow through. And I am always glad I did. I have never thought, ‘Oh, I miss that last morsel or two.” haha! Many times it is simply that – a last bite left. I have not gotten to the place of leaving too much more than that, yet. It has made a difference in my attitude towards food!

From Faith to Fit An Answer to Prayer!

Marty Copeland — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:13:32 +0000

I am so excited about the From Faith to Fit challenge – it is an answer to my prayers! Thank you for being faithful to God, to share with us what you have learned. It is a real blessing to me & I am sure to all others who are receiving your message with open hearts & willing souls to hear what God would say to us; and then to faithfully & with continued commitment to put His words into action in our lives. God bless you, Marty, & all those who are a part of your ministry team for serving God & us in this way.

I am completely whole and committed to my new goal!

Marty Copeland — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:18:53 +0000

I just wanted to write and say “thank you” for teaching such an inspiring message of hope and freedom. It has transformed my life and continues to transform my mind and body. I now know that good health is not just about how I look, but about experiencing God’s love and power in every area of my life. I am enjoying more and more freedom as I continue to sow self control in my eating and faithfulness in my exercise time. As you said, “the power is in the purpose”. I now say, “I am completely whole and committed to my new goal – to glorify God in my body!”
