"It all began when I celebrated my 39th birthday. I decided that I wanted to lose weight and look great by my 40th. However, I made this decision on my own and therein lies my failure. I never got motivated and when my 40h birthday rolled around, I felt terrible."

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I'm so glad I found First Place. After searching for and praying about what it is that I'm supposed to be doing for God and His church these past 2 1/2 years, I feel I've found it in First Place.

I am excited to look at the positive way my life, my health, and the status of my family has changed since I began my participation in First Place. Now the options are limitless and the future is bright. I feel very grateful to God for this wonderful blessing He has given me, for He, in essence, gave me back my life.

It began on a Saturday in April 2005. I was in the kitchen and noticed the church paper was open to the First Place section. My wife had been trying to get me to lose weight for some time, so I jokingly said that if she wanted to join First Place I would join with her. The next day we were at a First Place orientation meeting and signing up to start the next session. I weighed 285 pounds but was in good health, so I did not see the need to lose weight. I figured I could go and support my wife and maybe drop a few pounds myself.

I grew up heavy; food was always a source of comfort to me. I became a believer in 1993, and God began to clean up my heart one layer at a time.

Tamara Fisher-Lost 140 pounds!
Rockwall, TX
Would you think you could lose 12 dress sizes and 140 pounds in a little over a year? If you answered "no," then you probably feel the same way I did when I started First Place in January 2004. At that time, I was wearing a size 28 and weighed 290 pounds.

Kevin Fisher-Lost 110 pounds!
Rockwall, TX
Like many, I was in great shape when I got married. My bride, Tamara, had struggled with her weight from an early age, but I just knew I could change her and I tried. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before life changes caught up with me and I would steadily gain weight, up to my highest of 290 pounds, joining Tamara at her highest of 320 pounds.

"I have lost 46 pounds with the First Place program. I first attended a First Place meeting with a neighbor, listened to the program, and said "This is too hard for me!" God was just preparing me for what would happen next."
