254. Can You Pray About Weight Loss? Yes...

Kim Dolan Leto – Christian Fitness & Mindset Coach | Bestselling Author
About this episode

In this episode, I’m sharing how prayer is a vital part of the Christian woman’s fitness and weight loss journey—and the faith-based Success Formula God gave me to stop struggling and finally invite Him into your health.

Can You Pray About Weight Loss? Yes—Here’s How

I have to tell you this because maybe no one else has…

Yes, you can absolutely pray about weight loss.
And not only can you—you should.

If you’ve ever thought, “God’s too busy for this,” or “Isn’t this too vain to pray about?”—I’ve been there too. But the truth is, God cares about every part of you—your health, your habits, your food struggles, and your fitness goals.

Today, I’m sharing something deeply personal:
The exact formula God gave me after years of trying everything else first. It’s called the 3 S Success Formula, and it will help you stop the constant starting over and finally walk in peace—not pressure.

This isn’t about willpower—it’s about surrender.
It’s about inviting God into every part of your fitness, and letting Him lead the way.

If you’ve been craving a new beginning, a fresh start rooted in faith…
This is your moment. 🙏
