About this title

From the Back Cover

Steve had been overweight all his life. In fact, he weighed more than 100 pounds in the first grade! After playing football during high school and college, he vowed never to exercise or run laps again. That was one promise he kept, ballooning to 340 pounds and staying there for years. Driven by his declining health, Steve began to study Scripture. He discovered four keys to unlock the door to health and fitness:

1. Dedication:
Honoring God with Your Body

2. Inspiration:
Motivating Yourself for Change

3. Eat and Exercise:
Managing Your Habits

4. Team:
Building Your Circle of Support

In Bod4God, Steve Reynolds—whom the media labeled “the Anti-Fat Pastor” after he lost more than 100 pounds—shares the simple lifestyle changes, both inside and out, that have led to his incredible weight loss. He shows how you can change your life forever by committing your body to God’s glory. One of the biggest reasons most people fail on traditional diet plans is that they are required to eat what the plan tells them to eat. This approach simply doesn’t work, because we don’t all have the same appetites, background or circumstances! Bod4God helps you craft your own personal plan that you will follow gladly for the rest of your life. In addition, you’ll find out how your local church can impact the health of your entire community by hosting “Losing to Live” events, such as weight-loss competitions and team-driven fitness campaigns. Be a loser . . . and gain a new lease on the life God made you to live!

A note from Steve

You've picked up this book because you have a need to lose weight. You've come to the right place. I can help you. I understand what you've been through, because I've been through it too. I understand how frustrated you've become, because I've been frustrated too.

First of all, I want you to know that not only do I understand your situation but I also care about it. I care about you. I've become so passionate about inspiring overweight people to lose weight that much of my life today is wrapped up in finding ways to help people change.

With God's help, I found a way to begin taking small steps, and those small steps led to a new lifestyle. They led to life. That's what this book is all about--a path to a new life.|Steve Reynolds, America's "Anti-Fat Pastor," has served as the senior pastor of Capital Baptist Church in suburban Washington, DC, since 1982. He is the creator of the Losing To Live Weight Loss Competition. His story of dramatic weight loss has been featured on local, national, and international media, including The View. Steve is a graduate of Liberty University and Theological Seminary.
