MOVE! Successful Stories

Weight loss and weight management can be difficult and challenging. Not often, do you hear about those who have successfully lost weight and kept it off, but it is possible. With MOVE! and MOVEmployee!, veterans and

 

Together, Veteran and Spouse Lose Weight with MOVE!®
Veteran Ken Jordan knew that he wanted to lose weight—and he knew that MOVE!® encourages patients’ loved ones to participate. So he teamed up with his wife Brenda Battle Jordan and togeth

er, they made getting healthy a “family affair.”
Once a professional stuntman, Ken used to make death-defying leaps over speeding cars. But the Tae kwon do master and former bodyguard couldn’t defend against weight gain as he aged. Over the years, Ken and his wife had accumulated extra pounds and their health was suffering.
After a “scary visit” and discussion with his physician, Ken started MOVE!® with Brenda in July 2011. Through group care at the Flint (Michigan) CBOC of the VA Ann Arbor HCS, they’ve lost 35 pounds each and are feeling better. “We attended a convention recently and had lots of energy,” says Brenda. “Everyone was telling us how good we looked!”
She and Ken have shared their success story through YouTube, in part because support from others made the difference for them. “We watch our calories and walk every day,” says Ken. “Now we have a better chance at living a healthier life.”

    Here’s my shopping list I take with me to the grocery store. I don’t purchase all of these items, I just put a check mark next to the ones I want to eat that week. I hope it helps you make better food choices for a flatter belly. Enjoy! (Note: I try to buy organic for most items and I eat mostly sprouted grains instead of corn, wheat or soy.)

    A Prayer for Feasting on the Fat and Rich Food of the Gospel

    Photo: A Prayer for Feasting on the Fat and Rich Food of the Gospel O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. Ps. 63:1-5 Dear Lord Jesus, we come before you today asking for the gift of hunger and thirst. Renew and intensify our inner craving for you. Make us so faint that unless you hydrate our hearts with the gospel, and feed us with the bread of grace we will surely perish. It’s a dangerous thing to no longer deeply crave fellowship with you. It’s a deceptive thing to enjoy, but no longer actually need you. It’s a deceitful thing to be satisfied with correct theology about you, without experiencing rich communion with you. It’s a demonic thing to find our ultimate satisfaction in anyone or anything else but you. Lord Jesus, only your steadfast love is better than life—only your contra-conditional, irrepressible affection for us. Nothing else will do. You have created a gospel-shaped vacuum in our hearts—a screaming empty place that fits only you. Forgive us when we try to cram the fast food of human love, creature comforts, or anything else into that place. Don’t let us be so easily satisfied. Give us redemptive discontent until our hearts rest again in you. Give us the gift of unrelenting gospel desperation. Our cry isn’t just for ourselves as individuals, but for our church families as well. Lord Jesus, if you actually “left the house,” how long would it take before we knew the difference? When would we miss you? When would we look around and say, “Where did Jesus go?” In all honesty, how much of what we do in our churches doesn’t require the Holy Spirit at all? Show us, convict us, forgive us, and change us. Forgive us when we get so organized, creative, and “right” that we no longer miss your presence. Is it really you we are worshiping, or are we just worshiping worship? Is it really you we are serving, or are we just serving ourselves as religious consumers? Lord Jesus, let us see and experience your power and glory in fresh ways. We want to lift our hearts, voices, hands, and whole lives to you as a sacrifice of praise. May the truth and grace of the gospel satisfy us like no other fat and rich food. So very Amen we pray, with longing and expectant hearts.
