Get those kids movin'
"15.1 percent of black boys between the ages of 6 - 11 were determined to be overweight. 17.4 percent of girls within the same age group were considered to be obese. This increased presence of obesity leaves black children, upon reaching adulthood, more susceptible to hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and cancer that affect their parents and grandparents today.
... along with an increase in physical activity, we must commit to a proper diet. When preacticed consistantly, we can greatly reduce our risk of developing these illnesses that so mercilessly plague our community."
Dr. David Satcher
Former U.S. Surgeon General

Victory: Lost 27 pounds. Lost 7 pounds the first week!
I have been struggling with my weight for almost a decade. I have a prophetic dance worship ministry and I felt that I wasn’t being true to the people I was ministering to. I would tell them that God could do anything if you asked Him. Yet I had not asked Him for a program that would help me serve Him better. Here I was a 182 pounds, carrying over 20 extra pounds of fat on my body that it did not want or need. I was getting out of breath while dancing and singing and I was beginning to develop chronic pain in my shoulder. My body is a vessel and it is supposed to be a vessel of honor. At my poor state of health, it was not bringing me or Him any honor. I smiled all the time so people really did not know the emotional pain I was experiencing being so overweight.
The weight was making me feel uncomfortable and insecure. I knew I had to do something to get healthy and strong so that I could fulfill my purpose. I needed a Body Revival. So I did what I knew to do when I needed an answer I prayed. I began to pray for God to give me strength to get the weight off. I found Victoria’s program. I did what she said and I got up the nerve to step on a scale. I had not weighed myself for months.
I was ten pounds more than I thought.
I started the nutrition program and working out with her videos and within the first week I lost 7 pounds. It was incredible how easy and fast it was. I have lost over 25 pounds and I feel great. I have a lot of stamina and strength now. I feel that I now Honor the Lord because I care for my body, my vessel, and it is truly healthy. I Dance with greatr joy and vitality,
