Prayer strengthens the women of First Cathedral Church in Bloomfield, who are on an innovative wellness journey.

SisterTalk is a faith based weight loss program.

[It's a place] where women of faith can get together and our faith be strengthened to take the journey to learn more about our bodies, to learn more about nutrition, said member Monica Forbes.

Scripture motivates them to exercise and eat healthy.

What Paul is saying to the Phillippians is forget whats behind-press toward the high call, so dont think about the ice cream you ate yesterday, Forbes said in a meeting.

Then its onto food for living, and learning to read food labels.Recipes like Ethans Mango Smoothie are also shared.

The women rely on their spiritual connection to keep them on track.

Even if you get up in the morning and you pray and youre going to do this and that, if you fall back, you can always call someone who will pray with you or call someone for advice, said member Johnese Rodgers.
