Right now my left shoulder is hurting and all I used was a 10 pound weight. Pray also for my wife as we are i this together. God bless.

I certainly will pray for you and yours, brother. I am in a similar situation: I need to lose weight before surgery, but due to my condition, cannot 'exercise' it off. I'm using diet and occasional freeweight lifting to help me.

I've also been claiming 1 Corinthians 10:13 a lot, lately: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." I can't do it on my own, but need the Lord's help to resist overeating.
