I'm learning how to surrender everything...

"My name is Susannah. I am a 41 yrs old hairstylist with 3 teens and a 25 yr old step daughter. Currently, I am recovering from a severely degenerative, herniated disc that left me unable to work for over a month. As I am waiting for the complete healing, watching tv in bed, I came across Kim speaking on the 700 club. I was encouraged by her testimony and realized I had believed so many lies about myself, for way too long. I ordered the book and video right away. In the last 3 weeks, I have been dedicating my time with the Lord. I'm learning how to surrender everything. Each morning I read scripture and devotions. I'm also seeking a profession change, and ways to best serve my family. I have been unhealthy for way too long. Years of stress and unhealthy living, yo yo dieting and spiritual living has left me in a major place of personal self evaluation. I have taken the first steps of my challenge to repent and start fresh with the Lord. I'm giving him my best. Next, my goal is to allow Him to teach me and guide me with my physical health. I was born strong and healthy and I will be strong and healthy again. I'm thankful the Lord's mercies are new every morning!"

I have been following the FIT plan for over 30 days now and it has been such a blessing for me. The consistency with being conscience of prayer, studying the bible, and working out has helped me with managing my stressful career. In just one month I walked/jogged over 100 miles, lost 7lbs, and went down 2 dress sizes. I am hearing from the Lord consistently through prayer and study time! He has been leading me to serve more and intercede for others in prayer. I was a also focused enough to prepare my first sermon on EASTER Sunday. I remind myself of who I am in Christ so that I avoid having a negative image of my body. I am a masterpiece. One of a kind. Created by Almighty God to serve a great purpose for His Kingdom. Thank you Kim for sharing your story and being obedient to the Lord. You are truly a blessing!

Thank you Kim for writing true words from God's heart!

"As a counselor, I see women constantly pour into others but not themselves. The F.I.T. book is a longly missed much needed tool for Christian women everywhere. It is something we greatly need in order to fully understand the life and love Christ has for His precious daughters. We are diamond in His eyes needing polished in His hands daily. Thank you Kim for writing true words from Gods heart! God bless you!!"

So not only will this book help me with how I view myself and food, but it helped teach my son...

"I'm just starting the book and am on chapter 2. Loving it so far. The "Bring it to Light" section was PERFECT today... My son had gotten caught in a lie, and he was sitting next to me all upset as I was trying to read. I read this passage and it fit so perfectly with what he was going through that I had to read it out loud to him! So not only will this book help me with how I view myself and food, but it helped teach my son an important lesson today! Thanks Kim!"

" I bought Kim's F.I.T. book and DVD and highly recommend both for anyone who's looking for a real and thorough change from the inside out! In a market filled with diet, fitness and nutrition books, F.I.T. is a unique, one-of-a-kind, comprehensive, holistic, inspirational and Faith-driven book. It is absolutely God-sent! This book is not a quick fix, but a refreshing and thorough journey of change from the inside out. This book is organized into 10 Steps to your Faith Inspired Transformation. Each step is Faith-filled, very practical and down to earth at the same time. I love it! The Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help personalize everything. You can feel Kim's expertise, love, enthusiasm and Faith throughout every page of her book. She shares her personal story, challenges, and is very open and direct in each chapter. This book has been life-changing for me. I am a personal trainer, wife and mom. Prior to becoming a wife and mom, I was always at a healthy weight. I didn't realize that with life's challenges, my coping mechanisms weren't always the best and I began emotional eating, gradually gaining 25 lbs! With this book, I've learned to "bring it to God", rather than dealing with stresses by emotional eating. What a relief! I love the field of psychology and I believe improving one's psychological coping skills is really important. But at the core, the very centre of change is God, your Faith and Trust. We need to invite God into our life to create real, true and lasting change in our health, lifestyle and every other area of our life. Kim outlines how to set F.A.I.T.H. goals, use the 5 P's at every meal and Surrender Appetite Faithfully Every Day. This book is filled with Scripture Excerpts, motivational tips and encouragement. This book addresses spiritual, mental and physical fitness. This book triumphs and stands apart from all other books I've read as a personal trainer. I can honestly tell you that it is and will be the change you're looking for. It is for me! The F.I.T. DVD series is the perfect companion to the book. The three 20 minute circuits help you progress from beginner, to intermediate and advanced workouts. Each workout is well structured, easy to follow with Kim's expert cues and guidance. Modifications are offered to adapt the workout to your level of ability. Kim's inspiration and encouragement is contagious and her Faith Inspired messages are timely and unique. I have a rather large selection of workout DVD's at home and this DVD stands apart in a very special way. Whatever your fitness level or ability, this DVD offers a great workout in a reasonable amount of time and will leave you feeling energized from the inside out! My sincere and heartfelt thanks to Kim for writing this book and creating the accompanying DVD. God bless you on your journey!"

My FIT journey has been ongoing since I was 15. I have been 180, I have been 120, both look dramatically different on my 5’5” medium frame. Since I had my two children, my weight typically hovered between 145 and 150, and I was OK with that. Three years ago, my body began to negatively react to stress. My marriage was unsettled, I lost my grandmother and aunt to cancer, and I was concerned my genes were going to lead me down a familiar path of obesity, diabetes, and asthma. As a Christian I was looking to God, but would only allow Him in so far when it came to certain areas of my life. Last September I embarked on a journey to become whole – Spirit, soul and body. I began a blog and set some goals. Part of these goals was to eat clean every day, workout every day, and get into God’s Word every day. I was OK at best, and always seemed to leave God’s Word out, if it came down to choosing one of the three due to lack of time. When Kim released her book and videos in January, I knew it was a confirmation from God to allow Him to take the lead in this area of my life as well, and to trust Him to strengthen me, while allowing the excess fat – emotionally, spiritually and physically, to fall away in its time. Things changed once I began to view the process this way. I became more confident. I became more peaceful. In turn, I began to complete challenges and make progress. Since last year I have lost four pounds of fat and gained muscle. But more importantly, I have Godfidence. I have a stronger connection to Christ, and I am empowered to make better decisions every day when it comes to food, working out and leading by example for my children. I have also completed a Whole30 challenge, a Spartan Sprint, and month one of the Ultimate Oxygen Challenge. Soon, I will be completing a Spartan Super with my husband. I am so grateful God led me to Kim’s book and I am grateful she has been responsive and engaging since I began interacting with her. She is a great blessing! Thank you.

It has helped me make better nutrition choices in my daily life...

"The FIT book is outstanding! I loved being able to read each chapter and having journaling questions at the end. It helped me think about what I read and apply it to my daily life. The book was easy to read and made sense. Your story was motivating and real! I love implementing GOD in my fitness and health decisions. I wish more people knew about your book. It has helped me have a better positive self image of myself. It has helped me make better nutrition choices in my daily life. I have learned to pause before I eat to determine if the food I'm eating will give me substance or if I'm just eating emotionally."

Finally someone who speaks from the heart and changes the way you think...

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Kim's "FIT" book and dvd! Finally someone who speaks from the heart and changes the way you think about how you've been doing fitness and eating choices! By bringing God into the journey for the first time instead of the world way of thinking she has truly changed my veiw of the vicious diet and work out cycle. Thank you Kim for being real and praying personally for and with all who have started the right journey with this book God put on your heart to write. Thank you for being obedient in writing and doing the dvd! ! Truly a blessing for myself and my girls as well! My 9 and 10 year old are even enjoying it!

Thanks for helping me to fall in love with cooking again...

I want to thank Kim Dolan Leto for creating FIT and this challenge, and bringing such a diverse group of women together. Thanks to God for His amazing foods, and now I have now learned a greater appreciation for them. Thanks for helping me to fall in love with cooking again. Thanks for the tips, especially FIT hour (It's just 20 minutes!). I have learned much about myself, I am a work in progress. Thanks for reminding me that God is the God of all things, and He wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. The devil is going to attack even more so now, but that only means it's because he can see my success and he doesn't want me to have it. I encourage you ladies to keep on living FIT. Be blessed!

Finally a book and DVD that offer lasting results and not another temporary fix!

Finally a book and DVD that offer lasting results and not another temporary fix! I have been an extreme dieter for years losing 30+ pounds in a short amount of time only to gain it all back and more. I realize now that I always had the wrong vanity based goals and always did it in my own strength. Kim showed me that I need to surrender my appetite to Him and see myself in the word and not the world. I love all of the practical advice, easy to follow guidelines and inspirational quotes. Thank you Kim for sharing your journey and being so bold in your faith!

"Finally a health and fitness book that gets it right. Kim Dolan Leto puts God as a priority and when you seek Him first, all other things will be added! F.I.T. brings balance to the all too confusing nutrition world and will show you how to not only reach your goals, but to maintain without obsessing over food and exercise. This is how God designed us to live. At peace with Him and at peace with ourselves. Faith Inspired Transformation has changed how I view myself. I am free from all the body image issues I have been dealing with for years. Don't wait until you're in your 50's to get it right. Check it out for yourself. You'll be glad you did." Karen 55 years and going strong!
