Her Weight Loss Mindset | Lose Weight, Meal Prep, Healthy Habits, and Workouts

Do you believe that God Cares About Your Body and Your Journey

1 Peter 5:7 tells us “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”

That includes your cravings. Your energy. Your goals. Your struggle with self-control.

He’s not just with you in church or your quiet time—He’s with you at the fridge. At the drive-thru. At the gym.

Lets focus on Honest Prayers to encourage you on Your Journey

Here are 3 areas you can bring to God without shame:

1. Alignment Prayer:
    “God, help me want what You want for my health.”
   
   
   
2. Strength Prayer:
    “Lord, I’m weak in this area. Help me lean on Your strength when I want to quit.”
   
   
   
3. Identity Prayer:
    “Jesus, remind me that I am loved—whether I lose one more pound or not.”
   
   
   

Don’t pray out of:

• Shame (“I’m so disgusting, God”)
  
  
  
• Legalism (“If I eat perfectly, maybe You’ll bless me”)
  
  
  
• Control (“Fix my body on my timeline”)
  
  
  

Instead, pray out of surrender: “God, I trust You. Help me obey, even when I don’t see fast results.”

“God, thank You for the body You’ve given me. Help me to nourish it with love, not pressure. Help me to move with joy, not guilt. I surrender this journey to You. Make me strong in spirit and gentle with myself. 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.

Hebrews 10:36 (NLT):

“Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will.”

Here’s what might be happening:

• He’s strengthening your endurance.
  
  
  
• He’s helping you find identity beyond numbers.
  
  
  
• He’s inviting you to practice peace, even in slow progress.
  
  
  
• What actually is a plateau?  It’s your body adjusting, conserving, healing.
   It might be a reflection of your hormones, stress, sleep—or even progress stalling out naturally.

If you want to make small adjustments without falling into obsession:

• Increase your fiber and protein intake
  
  
  
• Add gentle strength training 2x/week
  
  
  
• Hydrate well
  
  
  
• Limit food tracking overload—don’t overanalyze every bite
  
  
  

Ask: “God, is there something You want me to adjust—or are You simply asking me to trust You right here?”

Lamentations 3:22–23 (NLT):

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.”

Friend, you don’t need to “start over.” You need to start again with mercy. There’s a difference.

The world says: "Start over on Monday."
 God says: "My mercy is new this morning. Begin again right now."

2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us:

“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”

You don’t need perfect performance. You need grace-powered progress.

You don’t need perfect performance. You need grace-powered progress.

 Consistency isn’t never messing up. It’s always coming back.
 It’s waking up and saying, “Okay, God. Let’s try again—together.”

Some helpful shifts:

• Focus on faithfulness, not flawlessness.
  
  
  
• Measure streaks of surrender, not just streaks of steps or meals.
  
  
  
• Celebrate obedience over outcome.
  
  
  

Try saying: “I’m not starting over. I’m continuing forward—with God.”

 Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NLT): “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.”
 Here are 5 simple meals you can keep on repeat:

1. Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies

• Toss chopped chicken breast, broccoli, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes in olive oil and seasoning.
  
  
  
• Roast at 400° for 25 minutes.
  
  
  
• Boom. One pan, easy cleanup.
  
  
  

Pro tip: Make extra for tomorrow’s lunch.

2. Greek Yogurt Parfait Bowl

• Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  
  
  
• Add berries, granola, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey
  
  
  
• High-protein, 5 minutes, no stove required!
  
  
  

Perfect for breakfast or a light dinner when you’re short on time.

3. Taco Bowl Night

• Ground turkey or beef with taco seasoning
  
  
  
• Serve over rice or lettuce
  
  
  
• Add black beans, salsa, avocado, cheese
  
  
  

Bonus: Everyone builds their own bowl — no complaints from picky eaters!

4. Egg Scramble + Toast

• Scramble 2 eggs with spinach or leftover veggies
  
  
  
• Serve with whole-grain toast and fruit
  
  
  
• Breakfast for dinner, done in 10 minutes
  
  
  

Sometimes the simplest meals are the most satisfying.

5. Slow Cooker Chicken Salsa

• Place 2–3 chicken breasts in the slow cooker
  
  
  
• Add a jar of salsa + taco seasoning
  
  
  
• Cook on low 6–8 hours, shred and serve in tacos, bowls, or over salad
  
  
  

This is my “set it and forget it” lifesaver for crazy days.

Thank you Heavenly Father for the gift of food and for taste buds, let me live in a heart posture of preparedness as I learn to trust in You in this area of my life. Thank you for removing the strive from my life and replacing it with Your Holy peace. Lead me Lord, I love You, Amen.

 Proverbs 16:3 (NLT):

“Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”

This verse reminds us that success doesn’t come from a perfectly color-coded planner or the latest fitness challenge — it comes from surrender. When we bring our health, our habits, and our goals before God, He brings the fruit.

And one of the ways we can honor Him is through routines.

God isn’t scolding you — He’s inviting you. He’s calling you back to Him — not with shame, but with grace.

Here are 3 ways to anchor your days in God during this new season:

1. Morning quiet time
   • Start small. Even 5 minutes with a devotional or a Psalm can recalibrate your mind.
     
     
     
2. Prayer-led planning
   
   
   
   • Before you write your to-do list, ask: “Lord, what matters most today?”
   • Lord give me what I need.
   • Let Him guide your priorities — not perfectionism.
     
     
     
3. Scripture over self-criticism
   
   
   
   • Write a verse on a sticky note and put it on your fridge or mirror.
     
     
     
   • Speak God’s truth over your body and your journey.
     
     
     

Now let’s look at three small, doable habits to restart your health goals — nothing extreme, just simple, sustainable steps:

1. Drink water before coffee
   
   
   
   • It’s a small shift that helps hydration, digestion, and energy.
     
     
     
2. Take a 10-minute walk while listening to worship music
   
   
   
   • Movement + mindset reset. This doesn’t have to be exercise — just get outside, move your body, and connect with God.
     
     
     
3. Prep one healthy meal or snack per day
   
   
   
   • Don’t try to meal prep your entire week. Just prep one thing — maybe chopped veggies, overnight oats, or grilled chicken.
     
     
     
   • One small act of preparation brings big peace later.

Proverbs 31:17 (NLT): “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.”

This verse paints a picture of a woman who is both hardworking and strong — qualities God wants us to embody as we care for ourselves and those around us.

• Here are a few ways to get started:
• Incorporate strength-building exercises that fit your schedule, like bodyweight workouts or strength training.
• Plan nourishing meals that fuel your body and soul.
• Establish a daily routine that balances work, rest, and worship.
• 
  
• Lord, thank you for the strength you provide each day. Help me steward my body well so I can serve you with energy and joy. Amen.

Matthew 11:28-29 (NLT): “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest...”
Why Rest Matters:

Rest is God’s design, not just a luxury. It’s part of the Sabbath principle and honoring God with our bodies. Sabbath rest is a command.

• • Lack of rest leads to burnout, poor decision-making (like emotional eating), and weakened faith. 
  • Overcommitment, too much time on your phone, these are all opportunities to build more rest into your life

Rest vs. Guilt:
Many Christian women struggle with guilt over resting or taking time for self-care.

Guilt is a tactic of the enemy that leads to shame and condemnation and there is no place for that in God’s kingdom. 

Rest as a Tool for Weight Loss:

• How rest improves metabolism, hormone balance, and energy levels, which support weight loss.
  
  The mind-body-spirit connection: physical rest helps emotional and spiritual renewal, reducing stress-eating triggers. 
• 
  
• Refueling Body and Soul:
  
  
• The importance of nourishing food, hydration, and sleep.
  
  Spiritual refueling: prayer, worship, Scripture reading as restorative practices.
  
  Emotional self-care: community, journaling, expressing feelings honestly with God.
  
  Here are 4 steps you can take to build in a habit of rest
• 
  
• Set Boundaries:
  
  Practical ways to protect rest time (e.g., say no to extra tasks, delegate, schedule “quiet time”).
  
  
  
• Create a Rest Routine:
  
  
  • Ideas for daily and weekly rhythms of rest and renewal — like Sabbath moments, evening wind-down rituals.
    
    
    
• Simple Self-Care Practices:
  
  
  • Quick spiritual habits: 5-minute prayers, Scripture memorization.
    
    
  • Physical rest tips: power naps, hydration reminders.
    
    
  • Emotional health tips: gratitude journaling, sharing struggles with a trusted friend or mentor.
    
    Heavenly Father, you know how hard it is for me to rest. Please instill a spirit of calm in my life and help me to set healthy boundaries with myself and others. Help me to see rest as a way to honor Your and show me areas of my life where I need to say no. Lead me Lord, thank You for Holy Spirit guidance and that You take all my burdens, help me to lay them down. In Jesus’s most Holy Name, amen.

 Galatians 6:9 (NLT): “So let’s not grow weary from doing good, for at the right time, we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.” How amazing is that?! What an incredible reminder of God’s faithfulness. 

I’d like you to meditate on these thoughts:

1️⃣ Motivation is a feeling — it comes and goes. Consistency is a choice. And discipline is a fruit of the spirit.

2️⃣ God calls us to faithfulness, not perfection or strive and try. 

3️⃣ Small daily choices lead to big, lasting change over time.

Here are a few habits to incorporate today:

• Create a simple routine (e.g., morning walk, daily water goal). Keep it simple to start, don’t choose them all, choose 1-3 that make sense for you today.

• Anchor habits to something you already do (e.g., pray while stretching). If you’re going for a walk, listen to a bible study or worship music or pray. If you’re already making time for coffee and a morning social scroll, get your bible out instead. 

• Focus on “minimums” — what’s the smallest healthy action you can do even on hard days? Remember, there’s no more all or nothing here. 

Lord, give me strength to stay consistent even when I don’t feel like it. Help me to remember your fruit and the word You’ve given me to stay encouraged. Thank you for always guiding me, Help me to walk in obedience and trust your timing and your plan for my health. I love you, Amen

Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT) says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” This verse reminds us that the true source of strength is God’s joy — not the numbers on the scale.

Here are 3 things you can do to help you focus on finding the joy in your weight loss journey.

-Start a “victory journal” to write down every healthy choice or progress, no matter how small you feel they are. Our feelings rarely align with God’s truth, so lean on Him when you don’t feel you have anything to add.

-Share your wins with a trusted friend, mentor, or faith community who will encourage you. Accountability is key! This is why I’ve created the Biblical Weight Loss Framework; to help you work on your personal journey with the Holy Spirit leading.

-Listen to worship music or memorize Scripture to uplift your heart during tough days. Find a verse that speaks to you and read it, write it, recite it daily.  

Lord, thank you that your joy is my strength. Help me celebrate every victory on my weight loss journey, trusting that you are working in me. Fill me with your joy so I can keep moving forward with hope and faith. Amen.

• Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” 

Setting boundaries isn’t selfish — it’s stewardship. God calls us to steward our bodies, our time, and our energy wisely. 

• Here are a few Practical Tips to help you recognize and pray through boundaries:
  • Identify situations where saying no is hard (family gatherings, work events, social pressure).
  • Practice polite, firm ways to say no, like “Thank you, but I’m focusing on healthy choices right now.”
  • Prioritize self-care as an act of worship and honoring God’s gift of your body.
  • Remember, saying no to others can be saying yes to your health and God’s plan for you. 
• Lord, give me what I need today, the strength and courage to say no when I need to. Help me guard my heart and body, and honor you with my choices. Teach me to steward the time and energy you’ve given me wisely. Amen.
