Kim, thank you. I, too, love the thought of dancing with God. At the end, I felt such peace. It is a beautiful thought to know that He will lead if I will just follow. Thank you for reminding me that I don't have to do it alone.

This is a fabulous post Kim. I prayed in the middle part of January to the Lord that he would guide me to the people who had the knowledge to help me shed this obese body and help me with my health issues. The Lord is so good and I let him take the lead in my dance. He lead me to the Kimmies ! Things are gliding along smoothly as I have gained so much wisdom & knowledge. I have lost 27 lbs to date and my motivation stays strong. Thanks to you all !

God Bless,

Oh this is just so wonderful..I loved what you wrote and when re-read what "sugar wings" wrote realized that losing my Dear Daddy at 18 yrs of age most likely had alot to do with "hidden emotions" I pray for all of you and feel relief knowing that I can come here for some help and healing as well!

I NEVER watch the television in the morning, but this morning my dad was visiting and had me fiddling around with the controller to find Fox News for him. Unable to find the station he wanted, I found the Today Show and put that on for him. I wound up watching bits and pieces of the show also... and discoverd YOU, Kim Bensen.
I have been a Christian for several years now, but I've really had a renewed relationship with Christ in the past few months. I've been studying my Bible more and growing closer to Him through prayer-- and here He directed me to watch your segment on T.V. and hear your amazing and inspiring story of success! I'm 284 pounds and have just begun my weight loss journey. Sometimes I feel like I'm just about one of the hugest women out there and that I will take me forever to reach a healthy weight! But seeing a picture of you at your heaviest and then seeing you now is so inspiring and almost makes me want to cry because it's just such affirmation that I CAN DO THIS, TOO!
Thank you for sharing your story-- ALL of it, including how God is the one that has helped you with this all along. I can not wait to read your book and learn more about what God has done for you... and will do for me, too!
This is going to be some dance!

I have always believed that God places people in our lives when we need them. I know he sent you into my life when I needed guidance from someone who understood the journey I was on. From the pain of being overweight, the stress of being a mother, and the heartbreak of loosing a father entirely too early in life, my life was very similar to yours which in turn gave me hope. I thank God for what he has done for me this year and I place 2010 in his hands.

Thank you. I found this as inspiring as reading your book. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Thank you KIM!

Not only am I blessed to have GOD back in my life...........but also bless that he has sent an angel to me, [ us KIMMIES ] in you. Many times I was told of GOD'S angels on earth, but couldn't find mine. I was one for many friends, strangers and family members, but I needed one of my own. I now have found one in you. Like you food came first in my life. After reading your book I too prayed to GOD for help. It wasn't until I let go and let GOD back into my life that I started to lose my weight. You and your staff have helped me keep on track. With the Guidance from upbove I now can say
" God..U & I DANCE.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR STAFF. May GOD guide all KIMMIES in 2010 to keep on program.
BLESS ALL IN 2010......................Vera

I'm thrilled that you shared this with us. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you put God first in your life. If we surrender and let him lead us, we can accomplish anything!
I am truly blessed and thankful for everything he's given me. I want to DANCE!

Praying for you and your family,
Mary

Thank you Kim! Why else are we here but to bring God glory through our lives.....i.e. "Obedience!" Self control is a "fruit of the Spirit".....and it's always in season! Thank you for being a "light!"

Kim,

This is a wonderful addition to the site. Thank you for posting this. I absolutely love it.

We truly cannot do this alone....we definitely need "Guidance" at all times.

Thank you!

Hugs,

Praise God for your desire to give God the glory He so deserves by sharing your testimony with others. Telling us how God blessed you as you were obedient to His will and guidance is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you continued blessings and success in Him.

Kim - beautifully stated and kuddos to you for not letting the PC world stop you from sharing you faith! God Bless You and your family! Keep up the great blogging! CJ

I really need His wisdom to conquer this weight loss that I have been trying to conquer for 60 years now. I need to learn how to love myself the way God loves me and forgive myself when I fail the way Jesus forgives me. I thank God for you being a person that is not ashamed to talk about the Lord. I will totally submit my will to Him and dance with Him leading me all the way to thin and healthy. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

How comforting!

Wow! I needed that! Loved your view of 'guidance'. Thank you for a renewed inspiration to eat right/lose weight.

I was so excited to see that we could share the spiritual side of our walk. For me, it is a major part of who I am. I love the thought of "dancing with God" !!It is just so "free-ing"! (is that a word?) Don't we all long for that freedom? I sure do!
I also love the thought of "God dancing the day I was born!"
This is a great addition to the site!
