"Dr. Frank;
"I have
been on the program since January of this year. So far I
have lost 48 pounds, and I have 30 more to go to reach my
goal.
"This is in
spite of being 72 years old and on much medication for heart
trouble. I have learned so much spiritually and emotionally.
I am so glad I found this new way of life.
"My
spiritual routine is praying that I will be a channel of
God's love today. Re-reading the WLGW text and journaling as
well as Bible study. Also I read my affirmations and new
life scenario in some form.
"I am now
able to do 20 minutes on the exercise bike, 25 stair steps,
3 sets of 10 arm weights, and walk at least a mile daily.
This is in addition to stretches and daily housework, etc. I
have never been able to do these things before. My
cardiologist reduced my cholesterol medication by half.
"As far as
food goes I write down everything I eat and try to keep the
caloric intake around 1,000-1,200 calories daily. I am not
hungry, and it has been pretty easy.
"I have
learned so much in this program, and I know if something
isn't working, it doesn't help to keep doing the same
things. I am reminded of the scripture, "Be still and know
that I am God."
"One more
thing I think it is especially important to have a buddy to
check in with and one who knows what you are trying to do.
Thanks
again. In Him, Bonnie

"Dr. Frank,
"I am making progress both in weight loss and spiritual
growth. To date: I have lost 25 pounds since starting WLGW
and dropped 4 sizes in slacks.
"People are
telling me they can see I have lost weight. I feel great and
feel better about myself. I have family members that have
noticed and ask what is the difference and I have shared
God's way with them I am sure some will be downloading your
program soon.
"Thank you
Thank you Thank you and praise to be to God and our Lord
Jesus Christ."

"Hi, Dr.
Frank!
"I wanted
to wish you a Happy Birthday today! I wish for you all the
blessings that God has in store for you. You are truly one
of God’s angels carrying out His work here on earth.
"Since
March, I have lost 65 pounds. Your program has made a huge
impact on my life.
"As you say
will happen in WLGW, my external image is beginning to come
into line with my new internal image. I enjoy a daily
exercise routine.
"My blood
pressure has reduced from 149/100 to 106/74. My total
cholesterol has come down, and my triglycerides have reduced
by half.
"Although
I’ve always “believed in God”, I only saw the light and
became a true Christian a few years ago.
"Throughout
my childhood, teens, and early adulthood, my life was
fraught with feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness. I
don’t ever remember not being overweight. I always thought
the negative feelings came from being overweight.
"Through
your program, I’ve learned that the exact opposite is true
(although the two became a rather vicious cycle, feeding on
each other).
"Since
beginning your program in March of this year, I have made
tremendous strides in my approach to life. I KNOW, without a
doubt, that as a child of God, God has wonderful things in
store for me.
"He never
intended for me to go through life miserable and feeling
worthless. I am able to start each day with a positive
attitude and the knowledge that whatever happens (good or
bad), God is right there beside me, holding me up or
cheering me on, whichever the case may be.
"While
there are still bad days scattered here and there (Who
doesn’t have a bad day now and then?), I have learned to
recognize the negative thoughts and feelings as they begin.
"By turning
to God, I am ecstatic to say the bad days now usually last
less than a whole day rather than the seven to ten (or more)
days they lasted before. It is such a comfort to know that
God is there for me and with me no matter what.
"I have an
entirely new self image these days – the image of a person
who matters to God. Thank you, not only for introducing me
to the tools to create this new image of myself, but also
for providing direction in the use of those tools.
"Thank you
for the impact you have made in my life and the lives of
others. May God continue to bless you today, and everyday.
"Peace,
Martha Harris - Raleigh, NC

"Hi, this
is just to say a big thank you. I have lost 10 lbs. I feel
great and very happy. I can now fit into some of my old
clothes. My friends have started noticing the change. I feel
alive.
"I'm not where I want to be. But I know that with God's help
I will get there. Now that the program has started working
for me.
"God Bless
you richly.
"Regards,

"Hello Dr.
Frank,
"My name is
Mindy Pickens and I am now almost done with week three of
your book and I'm happy to inform you of my progress.
"I do
really like what you have sent so far, and what I have read.
It's funny, I cannot remember a time since about 5th grade,
nearly 18 years ago, that I have not hated my body and been
trying to loose weight.
"It's
bitter sweet for me to finally learn that this is exactly
how I morphed my body into what I see now in the mirror. The
truth is that the 225 pounds I see now, I have been seeing
in my mind for like 15 years. It's so clear to me now.
"On the one
hand I wish someone had told me earlier, but on the other
hand I rejoice to know that this is in my power to change,
and that I will achieve my goals.
>> Yes,
bitter sweet is a good description. That's exactly how I
felt as some of these things started to become clear to me.
I felt blessed to be aware, but angry for having been
robbed.
"I have
tried every diet imaginable and even invented a few of my
own through the years, and I could not understand why I only
seemed to be able to succeed for a few weeks and then
totally sabotage myself.
"What you
said about will power signaling a struggle with my own
deeply held motivations made perfect sense. I, like everyone
else, could not consistently behave outside how I saw
myself.
"Now I am
learning through your program, the Word, and some other
resources, to accept how my Father sees me, and it has made
all the difference in the world.
"It never
occured to me before that my critical, judgemental, and
hateful attitude toward myself matters as much to God (maybe
more) as it would if I had those attitudes about someone
else.
"I have
also learned that faith is not just believing that God can
do something, but that He will when I am in agreement with
Him, and a healthy body is always in His will.
"I thought
this attitude presumptuous before, but I see that my enemy
was just robbing me of the power to live the abundant life
that Jesus died for me to have.
"I am now
confessing the word, staying in faith, and choosing to have
love, mercy, and grace for myself.
"And what
do you know? Miraculously this has resulted in a 5 pound
weight loss so far. I didn't struggle, or berate myself, or
fear failure. I didn't have to talk myself into it, or
whine, or whatever else.
"I have
just thought 'what is the loving thing to do right now?' or
'how will I feel after I do what I'm about to do? Will I
feel good and accomplished or will I feel guilty and
bummed?'
"And if
eating the cake or the last bites of my meal is going to
make me feel guilty and bad, then I tell myself that
choosing to eat it, is choosing to feel guilty and bad, and
that's not only illogical, but also not worth it.
"Suddenly,
overeating is no longer a reward. I was like Paul on the
Damascus road, though my eyes were opened I could not see,
and now the scales have fallen.
"God's
loving kindness really does endure forever, and His grace in
showing me this program is worth more than I can adequately
express.
"In His
Grip,
Mindy
Pickens - Home, Oregon.

"Dr. Frank,
"I am already gaining such insight about myself and my
"self-sabotaging" beliefs. I am on page 82 and finished
Exercise #13 and I'm working on writing my goals down.
"This is
such a wonderful program. So eye opening!
"It has
already helped me see that I don't have to be so critical
and negative of myself when I miss the mark in regards to
weight loss. I have always been such a perfectionist!
"Now I see
I had the wrong mindset in regards to how I treated myself.
I was reminded how much God loves me and accepts me. I am
made in His image! He doesn't want me beating myself up
every time I fail. He doesn't want me being critical of His
creation!
"It seems
as if this simple yet powerful revelation has caused me to
stop mistreating myself. It has not been difficult at all,
almost effortless!
"I have
already lost a few pounds and have not been eating out of
emotion. I have been so aware of the foods that I have been
putting in my body and when I have had a negative thought
about how I look or feel I have reminded myself of who I am
in Christ.
"When I
went through Step 3 of Exercise #8, (Creating a Supporting
Belief), I realized I had let my confession of God's Word
slip a little.
"As I wrote
my supportive belief to each "self-sabotaging" one, God's
Word began to flow on the pages. I am catching a glimpse of
a thinner me! It has made me want to take care of my body
again and I have not wanted to overeat.
"Thank you!

"Dr. Frank,
"I am so
delighted that through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, I
have been able to loose about 30 lbs. if not more.
"My prayers
has been answered supernaturally. In Rom.12:1,2. Presenting
my body as a living sacrifice to God before I go running or
jogging has been the secret. In Isa.40:31,I affirm that
word, and via positive confession the battle is won.
"It's
through speaking to the mountains Mark 11:22-25 over and
over that removes them. I have studied several books on
"Power of Positive thinking" but nothing we can compare with
the "Logos".
"Keep on
encouraging folks, and God will reward greatly.

"Dearest
Dr. Frank Smoot,
"Praise God
for you Dr. Frank, as tears of joy run down my face when I
read the truth of who God has truly called me to be.
"It is due
to this that you have finally enabled me to get to the root
cause of my weight problem. Something I never thought
possible.
"I have had
trouble just getting starting with the WLGW program with so
much to read through, there is no time like the present to
start what I believe to be the definite and only answer to
being overweight and obese.
"The truth
of the Word of God is so hard for the world (and even me
sometimes), because we've been fed lies all our lives which
makes my calling as a child of God that much more easy to
bear as so many people are in need of the truth.
"The truth
of the Word of God that comes in the form of yourself and
many like you who search deeper for it. We also bear witness
to the awesome caliber of the mind and God's true love for
mankind.
"I will
continue to pray and uplift you in prayer to God as you
continue to help me and so many others, find ourselves in
God through Christ Jesus.
"Yours in
Christ,

"Dear
Frank,
"Thank you
for all your emails and Thank you for opening my heart to a
new way of thinking.
"The power
of your words has had so much impact on my life these last
few weeks that I feel utterly and completely compelled to
tell you how much I am grateful to you and the programme you
have created.
"If I
didn't have an issue with my weight then I would never have
discovered my potential. I have only had the programme for a
couple of weeks but it seems to have awakened my soul from
day one.
"I started
off searching for a spiritual solution to shedding my excess
weight as I have always had strong beliefs in God and have
had many spiritual experiences and synchronistic events,
including some that led me to purchasing weight loss gods
way.
"I had come
to realise over the years that diets weren't the solution
but I just never really knew what else to do.
"The world (school, parents etc) ''taught'' me to be
cautious, to stand in the background so you don't get in
trouble, not to expect things, not to trust people, and that
I was not important- other peoples views and opinions were
more valid than mine etc, etc, etc.... the list goes on.
"So as you
can see I have (as do many other people) struggled to find
my way and always felt that I didn't deserve things. I can't
blame my parents for this as God bless them they were doing
the best they could in their lives and only teaching me what
they thought was right.
"Now
I have begun to open my mind, my heart and my soul - my
weight issue is just the tip of the iceberg.
In fact
losing weight isn't an issue at all. Learning to love myself
unconditionally is the issue.
"The weight
has been just a physical manifestation of my
nonacceptance, disapproval and dislike of myself ( notice
how I say has been as now I feel those
negative words dont apply to me) I know it doesn't have to
be that way anymore.
"It was
like my weight problem was a call for help, an SOS or an SMS
(Save MY Soul) It was my soul saying ''save me, I am in
here, listen to me, I need to be acknowledged, let me out!
"Get out of
these negative ways of thinking, there is more to life so
get going, grab your chances in life, open your heart and
accept that you are a spirit at one with God and the
universe I have just as much right to anything as anyone
else and START LIVING!!!!
"I'm sure
now that I can find the strength within me to deal with
anything now I can start trusting that I am held highly in
Gods love and I would be foolish to think I was anything but
worthy of the best things I can ever imagine.
"Maybe I
will slip back to old ways now and again, but I am confident
I can turn to my Success Journal and remind myself of these
feelings that I have in this moment right now.
"I am not
even bothered about weighing myself anymore ( I weighed
every day morning and night through my worst times) so I
couldn't tell you if I have lost weight or not though I do
feel lighter.
"But what I
am bothered about is learning to love myself more every day,
believing I can do things and believing my body deserves to
be cherished. I am feeding myself the ''right foods'' on all
the levels that make up ME.
"I am
feeding my body with natural, nourishing, energy filled
food. I am feeding my mind with positive thoughts, new fresh
ideas and learning. And most importantly I am feeding my
spirit with Love, light and peace.
"Now Frank,
I hope that shows to you that you are doing a great service
to many people and I just hope that you can reach out to
many many more who are ready to listen.
Love and
peace be with you

"Dear
Dr Frank
"Thank you
so much for this wonderful eye-opening weight loss programme.
"I have
been reading the manual for a week now and have started the
exercises. I can honestly say that my thinking has already
started to change in only one week, food is no longer at the
forefront of my mind as soon as I wake up.
"I am
looking forward to learning much more in this coming week. I
have spent so much money on dieting products in the past,
none of which has given me as much insight to the real
issues as you have.
"For what I
have paid for this knowledge it is a give away. I will
definately recommend your programme to my friends.
"God Bless
you

"Hi Dr
Frank,
"I would
just like to share with you the difference in my thinking
over the last week since beginning your system.
"Here is a part of the exercise I did about what my
self-sabotaging thoughts were from an early exercise:
- maybe I
was meant to be this way
- I am a continual failure, nothing is ever going to work
for me
- I am out of control with junk food
- I haven't the will power, I am a weak person
- I am not important enough for God to hear my prayers about
my weight
- Things work for others but not for me
- Because I don't pray/read/witness enough I don't deserve
to be happy
with myself
(I know, I know - I can't believe I thought like that
either.... but wait....)
"This is
from exercise #28 (to be read in a cheesy Batman voice-over
voice, I am a super-hero my Name is "Success Story" I am
'success-story', I am able to run for kilometers and not
feel stuffed, I can leap into swimming pools and not cause
tidal waves or feel conscious about my tummy, butt or
thighs!
"I am fun
success-story, my kids think I am FUN-MUM, they say "our mum
joins in and is silly, our mum Rocks!"
"I am
experimenting success-story, I try things, experiment and
never say no when I want to say yes to a new experience. I
am fashionable, funky success-story, I wear things because I
think the are pretty, beautiful, FUNKY, not because they
are slimming!!
"Everything
is slimming on me - I AM SLIM! I am spiritual success-story
- I am connected with my savior, He speaks I hear, I talk &
I know He listens, I am loved by my creator.
"I am happy
victorious thoughts success story - I have victory over my
body because my spirit is fed and my thoughts are redeemed.
I have bad moments when everything goes pear shaped, but I
do not have bad days, weeks or months! I am Success-Story!
"I find myself saying - "I am Success-Story" at least a
couple of times a day when things get hard, or I just want
chocolate, and find myself grinning to myself - like I know
the funniest joke in the universe.
"1.5 kilos down this week! 15.5 to go - I really am success
story!
"Thanks for your time,
Kayt -
