Somehow managed to gain a pound this morning. A bit discouraging. 4.2 pounds seems like SOOO much more to have to lose than 3.2 pounds. Only five more days to get to 199. It will still take a miracle from God for me to be able to make it!
Not sure if the colon prep will have any effect on my weight loss. Can't imagine there is much left in me after 52 days of not eating. At first, I thought it might be "cheating" to count my weight after the colon prep; but, then I realized that it will actually be the MOST accurate reading, because it will reflect what I actually weigh without any additional food or water in me.
I will admit that it is so much harder to "in everything give thanks" and to "rejoice in the Lord always" when the scale is moving in the wrong direction. I CAN thank God for the fact that, with His empowerment, I've already lost 56.8 pounds this year!
This has been quite a roller coaster ride. I hope I'm poised at the top right now, getting ready for that lightning-fast white-knuckle descent for the final thrill.
Very often in my life, God has waited until the very last minute to answer my prayers; and, He also works in some very creative ways that would never occur to my finite mind. He has all the resources of heaven and earth at His disposal, and nothing is too hard for Him!

56 lbs is a major loss. Does your GI know what you have been doing?

All things work out exactly how they are intended, not necessarily how we want them to! Keep the faith!😻

To continue our conversation on weighing from my journal: no I do not run around the house naked, mainly because I don't like the way I look. I'm old and flabby, and at 79 my stomach sticks out. I get dressed after I weigh and then if for any reason I want to weigh again I undress. This will not apply to you at this time while you are fasting, but I wait (no matter how long it takes) till after I have "evacuated". I also do not drink anything till after that weigh-in. Usually, it's nearly first thing in the morning but if I had to wait a couple of hours I would, to get my absolute lowest reading. Sounded like you don't wait for that, but while you are fasting now it's not an issue. So sorry about the gain. I too wonder if your cleansing for your procedure will have any effect on your weight. It's doubtful you have anything in you. I'm still praying for you for whichever way this thing goes. Of course, I am praying you make it, and that the Lord blesses and honors your great effort and wonderful attitude towards Him. But you also will need a lot of prayer and support if you don't make the challenge. My heart is with you.

@catwmncat Intended by whom? Not me. Yes, I believe God has ultimate control, and I sure don't understand this issue very well, but I believe God gave Satan a certain amount of control on this earth so now there is death and destruction. God doesn't intend children to be raped, etc. etc. Man has free will and causes great harm. Also, we can be foolish and do things that hurt us. I know because I do it all the time. God does not intend me to hurt myself. I doubt he intended my son to be killed by the drunk driver. He can and does sometimes cross over the natural course of events and cause things to happen, like healing. You can see I struggle with this issue. Satan causes trouble, man can cause trouble to us, and we can cause trouble. I also struggle with faith. What little faith I have is in God. Just faith for faith's sake doesn't mean much to me. Some people have faith in a rock, in a light bulb, or a statue. Who or what we have faith in is of the ultimate importance. Maybe I come on too strong, I'm sorry. But when my son was killed someone important to me told me it was God's will. I've decided until I learn differently that wasn't necessarily true. I come back to the idea that God doesn't cause men to rape children. If one doesn't believe in God then where would intention come from?

Hi Debbie,
If you have taken the colon prep, that is a gallon of fluids and electrolytes which will cause you to retain some of that water. I was thinking to do the same thing and fast on clear liquids rather than do the harsh laxative thing for the colonoscopy. I'm checking with the doctor to see if it's possible as those chemicals are so aggravating to the intestinal tract. I think you are making excellent progress. We share much in common as I'm at about the same weight but my goal is much more modest at 190. All the best! <><
