Why Losing Over 25 Pounds Feels Different—And How to Start Strong

Lindy Schlabach - Christian Mindset & Weight Loss Coach Season 2 Episode 125

Philippians 4:13 reminds us: “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (NLT)

The first step to starting strong is to:

  1. Anchor your “why” in faith.
     Instead of only focusing on appearance, anchor your journey in purpose. Maybe your “why” is to have energy to play with your kids or grandkids. Maybe it’s to serve in ministry without fatigue holding you back. 
  2. Shrink the mountain.
     If you have 50 pounds to lose, don’t stare at the 50. Break it down. Focus on the first 5 pounds. That’s a real, tangible goal. And once you hit that, set the next one. 
  3. Focus on the first habit, not all the habits. 
     When you’re starting, don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to change everything at once. Choose one habit. 

I'd like you to think these through:

  • What’s the real reason you want to lose weight? Beyond appearance, what’s your deeper why? 
  • What would your life look like if you were free from the extra weight holding you back?
  • And are you willing to do the work it’s going to take to get there? Only you can decide to make true change. 
  • What is one small step you can take this week to move closer to that vision?

I want you to do ONE simple action step this week:
 Write down your faith-based “why.” Post it somewhere visible. Each morning, pray over it and if you get stuck, ask God to reveal it to you. 

Heavenly Father, thank You for my friend listening today. Thank You that You care about every detail of her life—even the parts she feels are too heavy, too messy, or too hard to change. Lord, remind her that she can do all things through Christ who strengthens her.

Give her courage to take the first step, patience to keep going, and joy in the small victories. Guard her heart against discouragement and lies from the enemy. And help her see this journey not as punishment, but as an opportunity to honor You with her body, her energy, and her life.

In Jesus’ name, amen.



Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds. I’ve been working with women in online fitness and nutrition ever since to break chains of diet culture, embrace their bodies and fueling instead of dieting.

In this podcast, I'll teach you how to:

  • • Lose Weight in a Way that honors God without obsessing about the scale
    • Meal Plan and Prep for Your Family
    • Follow a MACRO based plan that allows you to eat the foods you love.
    • Recognize and pray through triggers keeping you stuck.
    • I’ll help you Plan your week and schedule your self-care time.
    • Cultivate a spirit of self-discipline in your workouts you actually enjoy.

    It's time to give God your health journey and watch Him make you new, from the inside, OUT.
