“You have something inside you, hunger and fullness, to moderate the amounts you need. You can lose all your weight eating small amounts of regular foods. Weigh Down does not require special foods but, it gives you Truth and the Truth will set you free."

Jenni Mendl Family - Weigh Down Testimony

Jenni Mendl – Weight Loss of 15 Pounds

I praise God that He moved Gwen Shamblin to get all of this information written and recorded so it could be shared with everyone. With all credit to God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ and these Weigh Down materials, I have laid down depression, nervous habits like peeling my skin till it caused harm, rage, binge eating, trying to others, and disrespect for my husband.
