Hi Jackie,

Your comment & email are such a blessing to me. You are an answer to my prayers.

I’ll write you back in more detail later as I’m at church and have to teach 1st grade in the next service.

Yes, please is my answer to your offer to help spread the word, comment, and write.

Its funny as I felt inspired a couple of days ago to put together the Freshman15.club and worked really hard for several hours getting all the pieces together for it and fired up the ads.

I started the ads yesterday and the ads had been seen by ~20,000 college gals and I hadn’t received even one click yet. I was a little bummed and almost paused the ads, but I felt God wanted me to leave them. Maybe just for you…for your coincidence to happen. 🙂

I was choked up and almost teared up when I received the notice of your comment this morning. Thank you so much!

I will write more later from desktop today, but one thing I want you to write down and remember every day going forward when you’re feeling down about yourself is this:

God made ME
Christ saved Me
And that makes ME a person of TREMENDOUS worth.

Worthless is now…no longer a word in your vocabulary when referring to yourself.

God bless you and thank you for your courage and reaching out to me. You made my entire week! Seriously!

Pastor Dan

My names Jaclyn (Jackie). I found the ad for your website stumbling through Facebook this Sunday morning, noticed it said something about “Lose Your Freshman15 with Christ” (or something along those lines) and couldn’t believe it. So natural, curious-me clicked on the link and joined up for some early-bird program with Coach Angie (?). I really had no clue what was going on, what the website was about, but I saw the url read “christianvitality.com” so I immediately went to this site.

I think what you’re doing/embarking on is awesome! Combining the lessons of Christ and fitness; tying the true tenants of our souls to our temporary outer-shells God provided us with to help us lead happier, longer, more fulfilling lives is crazy cool.

I’m 19 years old and go to school in Charlotte, NC, but am home in Fort Lauderdale, FL until late August. I’ve struggled with both my faith and weight my entire life. I’ve always been the cute, chubby girl with (oddly enough) a very built, athleticy shape. I play tennis for my college and have been playing since I was 4, but if not for my passion for tennis I most certainly would be obese. I simply grew up not learning very good nutrition habits and over-ate like it was nobody’s business, however was still considerably active.

It wasn’t until this passed October up at school at a church in Charlotte, NC that I at last opened the door for Christ to enter my life and be fully apart of it with me.

I still however, struggle with my weight and faith. In both aspects of my life I know I can do more. The passed couple of days I had really just been hating hard on my body and would wake up and go to bed with this disgust with it. Oddly enough, as I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook this Sunday morning, it occurred to me, “Why am I treating myself so badly? If I’m really upset, why aren’t I looking to the one being that can truly fix my disgust with myself: God?” And that’s when I looked back to the screen and saw the link for your website. Coincidence? 😛

Anyways, the reason I am writing to you is to let you know I think what you are doing amazing and I will certainly be praying for your success with it. Also, if you need any help spreading the word of what you’re doing via social media I’m your girl, or if you need anyone to do some commenting or writing for your cite I’d be glad to help.

Sincerely, Jackie
