63 Surrendered — Weight Loss with the Holy Spirit

For the woman who is tired of starting over

You’ve tried every diet.
It’s time to rest.

A 63-day Catholic journey that trades calorie counting and shame for surrender, prayer, and peace. No willpower required. Just willingness.

Challenge Currently Closed

Just $63 for 63 days. That’s $1 a day.

You’ve tried everything.

The calorie counting. The points. The apps. The programs that promised this time would be different.

You started strong. You always do. You mustered up the motivation, stocked the fridge, planned every meal, told yourself this was finally it.

And maybe your body isn’t even responding the way it used to. The rules that worked at 30 don’t work anymore. Everything feels harder now.

Then it stopped working. Like it always does.

Not because you lack willpower. Not because you’re lazy. Not because something is wrong with you.

It stopped working because you were never meant to carry this alone.

He sees you.

He knows your heart. He sees your struggle.
He knows you are exhausted from:

  • Mustering up the motivation to start another diet… only to lose steam
  • White-knuckling through rigid plans… only to feel like a failure when you can’t keep up
  • Carrying the weight of shame and guilt… feeling like you’ll never break free

He wants to release you from this burden and heal you. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

“I thought I needed more willpower. Turns out, I needed more surrender.”

What If You Stopped Fighting?

What if the answer was never about trying harder?

What if you handed it all to Him? Every meal, every craving, every fear. For 63 days?

What You’ve Been Doing

  • Tracking every calorie
  • White-knuckling through cravings
  • Shaming yourself into change
  • Controlling every bite
  • Starting over every Monday

What Surrender Looks Like

  • Eating food you love
  • Eating with a calm brain
  • Talking to God about your food and weight
  • Trusting Him with the outcome
  • Walking one day at a time for 63 days

All of it. Handed to Him. For 63 days.

That’s what 63 Surrendered is. And it changes everything.

This Is Not Another Diet.

Let’s be clear about what 63 Surrendered is not. Because you’ve probably seen enough diet programs to last a lifetime, and we don’t blame you for being skeptical.

You’ll eat the foods you love and plan meals that feel good, not meals that feel like math.
Your plan is made by you, from foods you actually want to eat. If something changes, you surrender the change. That’s it.
When cravings hit, you pray. You surrender them to the Lord. Not through gritted teeth. Through open hands.
You identify your chaos foods and surrender them. Not because they’re forbidden, but because they steal your peace.
There is no wrong way to surrender. If you prayed today, you did it right.

63 Surrendered is a 63-day spiritual journey for Catholic women who are ready to stop fighting their bodies and start trusting the Lord with their food, their weight, and their peace.

This is not a diet. This is surrender.

“I didn’t just lose weight. I lost shame. I gained peace. And I got closer to God.” — Lisa

How It Works

Four daily disciplines. About 30 minutes. No gym, no food scale, no complicated rules. Just you and the Lord, one day at a time.

1

Pray the Surrender Novena ~3 min

Each morning, you’ll pray the Surrender Novena, a powerful Catholic prayer that trains your heart to release control to the Lord. Three minutes that will change the rest of your day. This one prayer is the foundation everything else is built on.

2

Plan Your Food with Peace ~10 min

You’ll create a simple, easy-to-stick-to food plan each day, made up of foods you actually love. No forbidden foods. No complicated rules. Just a peaceful plan. If something changes, you surrender the change. That’s it.

3

Surrender Any Changes Through prayer

When your plan changes during the day, you pause and say, “Jesus, I surrender this change to you.” You write it down, and then you eat. No guilt, no shame spiral. A calm brain does not stress eat. This simple practice is what breaks the cycle.

4

Connect with God Morning & Evening ~15 min

Using guided prompts in your workbook, you’ll spend a few minutes each morning and evening connecting with the Lord about your food, your body, and your heart. This daily rhythm is what makes the transformation stick, long after the 63 days are over.

Pray. Plan. Surrender. Connect.

That’s the whole day. The rest is just living your life in peace.

“For the first time in my life, I feel peace around food. This is what I’d been praying for.” — Anne

Denise Jelinek — Catholic Weight Loss Coach

It’s time for healing.

I’m Denise Jelinek and I’m a Catholic weight loss coach. I have helped over 5,000 women lose weight eating the foods they like without feeling deprived.

I was a closet binge-eater for many years and it was so painful. I was filled with shame. I knew I had a blessed life so I didn’t understand why I was raiding the pantry like a raccoon at night when no one was looking.

I went on a journey to stop dieting and to truly find peace around food permanently. I learned how to do exactly that and now it’s my great honor to teach other Catholic women to do the same thing.

Join this challenge and I’ll show you how your heart deeply desires the Lord and He will give you everything you need to have peace around food.

This Is For You If…

  • You’ve been praying for an answer and feel God calling you to something different
  • You’re tired of diets, counting points, and tracking every bite
  • You long to deepen your faith and grow in reliance on God
  • You desire freedom from shame and guilt around food
  • You want to enjoy normal foods you love at your healthy weight
  • You’re ready to stop trying harder and start surrendering deeper

This Is Not For You If…

you’re just looking for a strict diet plan to follow, or if you’re not ready to surrender your struggles with food and weight to the Lord.

This is a spiritual journey first. The weight loss follows the surrender, not the other way around.

Common Questions

Each day, you’ll complete four simple practices: (1) Pray the Surrender Novena, about 3 minutes. (2) Plan your meals and snacks using foods you love, about 10 minutes. (3) Surrender any changes to your plan through prayer. (4) Connect with God in the morning and evening using guided prompts, about 15 minutes total. That’s it. No gym required. No complicated prep. Just daily surrender.

About 30 minutes a day after your first week. During the first week, you’ll spend about an hour getting set up: praying the Surrender Novena, identifying your chaos foods, and creating your first food plan. After that, your daily commitment is about 30 minutes: the prayer, food planning, and morning/evening connection. Weekly coaching calls are 60 minutes (replays available). Most women say it feels like less time than the mental energy they used to spend stressing about food.

You’ll eat the foods you love that you feel good about eating. Each day, you’ll make a simple food plan with foods you enjoy. There is no strict plan, no forbidden foods, and no complicated rules. If you need to make a change during the day, you’ll “surrender it” by writing it down and offering it to the Lord. It’s that simple.

Chaos foods are the specific foods that create chaos in your life, the ones that trigger bingeing, guilt spirals, or loss of control. They’re different for everyone. During your first week, you’ll identify yours and learn to surrender them. This isn’t about banning foods forever. It’s about understanding which foods pull you away from peace, and giving those to the Lord.

Here’s what our 63 Surrendered women say: “If you are a woman of faith, do the challenge. It not only helps surrender weight loss but also helps every area of your life.” And: “You are worth it. Let God love you in this way.” If you feel drawn to this, there is a reason. Pray about it and trust what the Holy Spirit tells you.

Daily exercise is an optional part of this challenge, and it’s defined as something you enjoy, not something you dread. A walk. Gentle stretching. Dancing in your kitchen. There is always a form of movement that works for your body. And if exercise truly isn’t possible right now, the other three disciplines are more than enough.

When you lose motivation (which will happen, it’s human), the group helps you regain your desire within the day rather than within weeks. You’ll be inspired by other women’s stories, stop feeling alone in your struggle, make real friends who understand, and have access to weekly coaching calls where Denise helps you work through whatever’s coming up.

Yes. Private coaching is perfect for women who want to make progress as quickly as possible or who find that the stress and overwhelm of their lives is preventing the progress they want. Email [email protected] for private coaching options.

63 Surrendered is rooted in Catholic spirituality: the Surrender Novena, daily prayer, and trust in the Lord are at the heart of everything. If you’re Catholic or deeply drawn to Catholic prayer and tradition, you will feel at home here.

New groups begin every Monday. When you purchase, you’ll get immediate access to your welcome materials so you can prepare over the weekend. Then on Monday, you’ll start Day 1 alongside your group. This way, everyone walks through the 63 days together, with shared coaching calls, community support, and accountability from day one.

Many women find that 63 days builds a foundation of surrender that carries them forward indefinitely. For those who want continued support, we offer Restored, our advanced coaching community with lifetime access to group coaching, additional programs, and a deeper Catholic women’s community. But 63 Surrendered is a complete experience on its own. You will not be the same.

Here Is What I Know About You

You’ve been carrying this for a long time. The weight on your body, yes. But also the weight on your heart. The shame of starting over. The exhaustion of trying harder. The quiet fear that maybe this is just who you are.

It’s not.

You were not made to white-knuckle your way through life. You were made to surrender. To hand it all to the One who already knows every struggle, every late-night trip to the pantry, every tear you’ve cried over a number on a scale.

He is not tired of you. He is not disappointed in you. He has been waiting for you to stop trying to do this alone.

63 days. $1 a day. One prayer at a time.

Come to Him. He will give you rest.
