Readers, I would like to inform you that I have graduated from the class of 300 (pounds) and now I'm under it and will never, never go back.
I have lost over 20pounds right now, let break it down.
I started after Thanksgiving I was doing the P90X program but that wasn't working that well for me, I would lose weight then gain it, I stayed around the same weight for weeks, I started the diet (there's 3 different diets in P90X, the one I'm on is called "Fat Shredder" I'm on the level 2 phrase and will stay on that one, I thought by starting that I would lose the weight faster along with the workouts from P90X, but the program itself wasn't working for "Me"
after I stop doing the P90X workouts and started doing the treadmill, the pounds started to drop, a week and a half ago I was 48 pounds away from 260 (Which, at 260 I can start on my papers.. that is if I have been making money, for mission).
Now I'm 37pounds away from 260, amazing isn't it?
In a week I lose a pound everyday, if I didn't lost one in a day, then the next day it'll be gone, so now in a week I lose 5-7pounds
When for weeks just doing P90X it wasn't moving, it stayed
I'm just so happy it's working now, life will get so much better.
My friends are amazing support, they all know I'll be able to lose the weight, and that help tons, same with my Mom, she's amazing, helping me out, telling me I'll be able to do it
Last week I tried on a pair of jeans, they were to tight, I couldn't even put them on all the way, today I tried them on and they fit, I was able to wear them and walk around, they are the tightest jeans I own, so I will not wear them yet, couple more weeks and they will fit like normal.
The shirt I'm wearing now, used to be tightish, now it's baggy.
The shirt I had during trek, the second shirt, I only wore it on the way home, it was to tight for trekking, I now use it as my church shirt and there's so much room!
I'm loving the changes, I was talking to a friend of mine, Spencer Steele and he sent me this video to watch
It'll be an amazing journey, and I would like to welcome you all to share this journey, send the link to my blog to you're friends and families, I now have 20 followers and that is just amazing by itself, how much can I get before I leave on my mission?
"The Lord gives us a spirit of hope and a feeling of comfort and confidence that we can overcome the obstacles we face. He has shown the way to gain strength during our struggles. With His assistance, we have the ability to succeed."
--L. Lionel Kendrick, "Strength During Struggles,", Ensign, Oct 2001, 24
I know the Lord is on my side, I have prayed to him, for help on this journey of losing the weight to be his servant, to be his hands for two years, and it doesn't even stop there
Here I come missionary of 2012
And here I come new body.

Service- the different person.
Today in Sunday school the lesson was on service, not the kind like service projects but, be-friending people, cheering people up, and so on.
Brother Davidson asked us "Is it hard, to be friends with people in school, who are 'different' and other people aren't friends with them because of it?"
The class said it is hard, because their friends might dis-friend them for hanging out with someone who is different and doesn't have many friend, and if you're popular it's harder cause you might get un-popular a little if you hang out with the different person.
I was thinking in the class, how I'm the different person, now.. don't get me wrong I have friends now, but I still see myself as someone who is different.
And I do know what it feels like to be the outcast, the person people don't get to know
But with my amazing friends, it's so much better
I want you all, my readers to think of people you see, from school, work and so on, see if their lonely, the outcast, the different person.
My teacher shared a story I won't be able to explain it as well as he did but I hope you understand it.
He was in high school and this one girl walked with a limp, no one would help her to class, they didn't do anything for this girl because she was considered "different", from walking her to class he would get to his own class late, his teacher was a tough one and told him that he'll get low grades for showing up late and he told him to stop walking the girl to class, that his grades would be lower because he'll getting in class late.
Joe my Sunday School teacher said "No one else will help her to class" and he continued walking her to class, he studied hard in his own class and got a good grade, an A I believe.
This girl and my teacher are still close friends to this day, he was the one that helped her when no one else would.
She is now a teacher in a High school where my teacher's son goes to, once she learned that he was the son of Joe Davidson she had him call his dad and they talked a little, she has never forgot how he had helped her in high school.
I can say that his oldest son, Hunter who is now serving a mission in Brazil was liked his dad and saw that I was 'different' and he befriended me, we are really good friends to this day, he know I'll be able to lose the weight to go on my own mission.
I want you all to look around you, look for someone who's alone and try to befriend them, it won't just do them good, but it'll do you good as well when you make a bond with that person and be the best of friends.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regert it

The Armor of God
We need to wear the whole Armor of God, Brothers and Sisters
The armor will protect us from sin and the darkness in this world we live in, it is our gift given by our God. Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
We are all human, we have all sinned, we can repent, and WE can put on the armor of our God.
Roman. 13:12
"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light"
Are we tempted to the point of no return?, in battle we might get wounded, are we to wounded to be able to heal?, no we are not.
1 Corinthians 10: 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it
I would like you all to read and ponder to yourselves Ephesians 6 starting at verse 10 until you're done with that chapter.
shield of faith: Ephesian 6: 16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
Nephi 15:24 And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction.

I find joy in reading the scriptures, we need to hold fast to the word of God (The Iron Rod)
We are all Enlisted This was a talk given in the last General Conference Oct 2011 during the priesthood session.
I had tears when I was listening to this talk, I felt the spirit so much, I know that this is the God's church on the earth today.
We need to take hold of the Armor of God and be ready for battle, for this world is getting wicker and these are the last days.
In these times it's easy to be afraid turn to the book of Isaiah
"fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
—Isaiah 41:10"
the 2010 youth theme "“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9)"
Brothers and Sisters, God is on our side, stand for right, stand for the truth, put on the whole armor of God.
This video even tho it is old and the clothes they wear are funny looking, hah, I still felt the spirit from watching it, I was on the edge of tears

Update 3/5/12
Yet again, i'm sorry for not posting in awhile, I have been busy with things going on, I planned on blogging three or so nights ago but I didn't do it, so sorry.
I have came up with a couple of things to blog about, it's all in my head so once I sort it all out hopefully you guys will like it, their really good subjects so I hope you'll like them.
At church this last week I said the prayer for the water during sacrament, I said it without stuttering, I was very happy about that.
I'll be applying for a job this week, hopefully I'll be able to get it, I really need to start making money to pay for half of my mission.
Speaking of missions a friend of mine Dirk got back from his this last week, we saw each other at church and talked some, I told him that I'm losing the weight to be able to go on my mission, he said he knows I'll be able to lose the weight to go, he said that we should get together sometime to go running. That would be amazing if we do go running, I'm not sure how I'll do without the treadmill but we will see.
Oh I was wondering if you guys liked the "Scripture of the day" which I added in my last post, I have a feeling that one of you if not more will read just the right scripture for that day, it could be an answer to you're prayers, let me know if you think I should keep doing that.
