I’m so excited to share Bible Journaling Ministries’ first published journal! This one is a weight loss journal and planner for Christians. It’s the one I designed and use myself to help me lose weight in a way that keeps me focused on God’s Word and promises. Here’s our ministry affiliate link if you’d like to purchase it and support our ministry. Thank you! Click here to purchase.
Why Did I Create This Journal?
Over the last few months, I’ve realized that the key to losing weight is intentionality and focus. For me, I have to plan the night before so that I avoid decision fatigue the next day. When I have decision fatigue I end up eating whatever I can get my hands on. That DOES NOT equal weight loss success.
I searched for the perfect tool to use in my journey. Combined with a fitness routine and community support, I started putting intense focus on breaking free from the hold food has on me. Especially Icees and movie theatre popcorn!
As I searched for a journal, I couldn’t find one that was comprehensive. I ended up carrying around my planner, food journal, prayer journal, and gratitude journal everywhere. That’s one heavy purse! So, I decided to make my own planner. It took MANY iterations, but I finally got it right.
I love that this journal allows me to keep my focus on God while honoring the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). It also made my purse a lot lighter!

How to Use the Journal
For the most part, the journal is very intuitive. It’s designed to help you establish healthy habits as you focus on your goal of losing weight. By combing planner functionality with daily health tracking, you can keep your weight loss journey top of mind. Here’s a video walkthrough of the entire book.
Most of the journal entries are common across all weight loss journals with the exception of the following:
Habit Tracker
Write the habits you’re trying to create in the columns and mark a box for every day you accomplish the habit.
Weekly Planner
• Verse of the Week: Write down a verse that you want to focus on. A few are listed in the back of this book.
• Praying for: Write down who or what you’re praying for this week.
• Key priorities: Write down your main deliverables or things that you want to accomplish this week.
Daily Fuel Log
• I am: In this section, you’ll write who you envision yourself to be. For example, “I am a healthy, active, and energetic woman.” By writing this daily, you’ll start to believe and take action on the person you want to be.
• Blank column: This section is for tracking other measurements like “points.”
• Eating because: Why are you eating? Are you hungry, bored, tired, stressed, or pressured? By writing this down, you’ll start to see patterns of eating and can work to address them.
• I am grateful for: In this section, write down what you are thankful for. Having a daily practice of gratitude leads to joy and peace.

Hi Tracie,
I love your new weight loss planner. Is it possible for you to make a travelers notebook style ( Regular)?
That would be great if you could.
It would be quite a bit to adjust all of the templates to fit in that small space. Have you seen our other food journal that’s in the traveler’s notebook section of Momentum and in the shop? It has some of the same elements, but not all of them because I needed more space for the charts and spread. If that’s not sufficient, will you let me know specifically what you’re looking for in a TN size and I will see what I can do.
HI Traci ,could a person use this journal if they struggle with food in terms of making sure they are eating enough? I struggle with anorexia and it sounds like the journal could be adaptable.
Yes. It’s a journal that helps you focus on your food while maintaining a focus on your faith. Great question!
