Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I need to lose weight for my health. I am using South Beach diet which I like, but I have so little self-control. It doesn't take much to lead me astray and then I feel guilty -- and don't lose any weight.

I know the diet will work if I let it. I just need some help staying on course.

Thank You

Praying for you, too. I am also trying to lose weight and find that the very thought of "dieting" makes me crazy and wanting to eat everything in sight! I think prayer has got to be the key.

How are you doing? I wasn't able to reply when you posted, but have been thinking about you and praying for all of us who want to improve our fitness. You might be interested in topics at Our Lady of Good Remedy and Care. Here are a couple that are helping me right now, 10,000 steps and T-Tapp.

Love,
