Food does not have to control you.
You can look better, feel better and live better. You can transform into the person God designed you to be, all without dieting.
I did it and you can too.
I’m Teresa Shields Parker and I used to weigh 430 pounds, so I get it. My life was a huge depressing mess. I was ready to throw in the towel on everything. I felt I was so far gone, even God couldn’t help me. I had gotten myself into this impossible situation and I felt like I was the only one who could get myself out.
I was a strong, intelligent woman. I thought I could lose the weight on my own, but every time I went on diet and did that, I would gain it all back plus more. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t stop eating. I wanted lose weight and never gain it back again, but it just didn’t seem possible. Why was I obsessed with food and other people were not?
I know how depressing it is to feel like you are in bondage to sugar, junk food and highly processed carbohydrate-laden foods. Along with that comes shame, guilt, regret, doubt, anger, frustration, failure and years and years of heartache. I’ve been there and it is exhausting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's felt this way. Can you relate?
I’ve lost 250 pounds and kept it off since 2013. I can help you lose the weight you long to lose while getting closer to God at the same time.
In Overcomers Academy, I will teach you how to find victory over weight issues and discover how to overcome habits that have kept you stuck in the yo-yo dieting spiral. You’ll learn how to turn your dreams to look better, feel better and live better into a reality.

Overcomers Academy is NOT for you:
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of our members and graduates have to say:
Can’t Find This Support and Wisdom Anywhere Else
"It's about facing a lifetime of hurts, habits, damage and strongholds and overcoming them through complete dependence on and submission to God. We can do nothing without Him. It's about being with others who have walked the walk before me and triumphed. It’s about being with others who are in their place of struggle with me. It's about being with others who are somewhere in between. It's a beautiful dynamic. I stay here because I will have no chance to ever take hold of this once and for all if I don't. I can't find this support and wisdom anywhere else. God led me here because my life depends on it."
— Kim Mancuso, Webster, NY
Losing 89 Pounds and Getting Out of the Wheelchair
"I joined Overcomers in 2015 after the Lord led me to Teresa. Over the course of my life I had tried and failed many diets. I came to realize that I needed God's input into this matter and also needed a plan I could live with for life. I have lost a total of 89 pounds and I’m still going. My journey has been slow and steady, using the techniques Teresa shares to make small, but permanent changes to my lifestyle. I have also learned that eating is only a part of my journey. Drawing closer to God, obedience to Him and forgiving others are of more importance. When I came into the group I had stopped driving and was in a wheelchair scooter. These days I walk, drive and even babysit my great grand baby. My life has improved so much for the better. I am thanking God every day."
— Peggy Burgess, Northcumberland, PA
Diabetes and 68 Pounds Gone
"I was diagnosed with diabetes. I did not take medication. Instead, I got serious about lifestyle change. I have quit lying to myself and started taking care of me. In the process, I’ve lost 68 pounds. My diabetes is gone and my A1C was 5.1 for my latest lab. I am off blood pressure medication and take no medication! Teresa’s coaching has literally been a lifesaver!"
— Dawn Wisdom Kinstley, New Braunfels, TX
Trust, Surrender and 30 Pounds Gone
"When Teresa started this group, I knew it was what I needed. It was time to start working with God to face the roadblocks that had kept me stuck. I’ve learned so much. Yes, the 30 plus pounds I’ve lost was what I thought I needed and wanted the most, but I found God wanted so much more for me. I’m learning to trust Him completely and surrender it all to Him. I realize this journey I’m on will not end until He calls me home. It’s a beautiful thing to make this journey with so many Christian sisters."
— Candy Hamilton, Columbia, MO
Former Missionary Loses 80 Pounds
"My husband and I were missionaries overseas for 47 years in a closed country. I’m 75 and I have been overweight or obese most of my life. Teresa’s book, Sweet Grace, started me on a journey I never thought I would make. After I read the book, I realized how similar our journeys are. I joined Overcomers in 2015 and have now lost 80 pounds. The biggest surprise to me is that I not only lost the weight, but have kept if off. That is a first for me. Overcomers isn’t a diet plan. I knew how to lose weight. A key factor in this group is Teresa helps us figure out what causes us to overeat and how to deal with the root issue. I continue in the group for encouragement and motivation to continue to be obedient to God in my eating."
— Jay Lee, Spokane, WA
Walking Through Food Addiction
"My skewed thoughts of myself and food have kept me in a vicious cycle of destruction and failure for over 40 years. As God leads me through Teresa’s teachings, ministering and coaching, I am experiencing healing in the area of food addiction. A side benefit is I have lost 43 pounds. I now really know God has plans to prosper me and not to harm me."
— Susan Keays, Whitehall, PA
Healing Past Hurts and Losing 93 Pounds
"After a divorce I began having weight issues. Now three years later, thanks to being in Teresa’s courses and coaching groups, I have lost 93 pounds, regularly do weight-lifting and am married to a new God-given blessing of a husband! Learning to forgive deep-seated hurts in my life helped me go forward to lose weight and begin to trust and love again. I'm thankful for the inner healing I received from Teresa and her courses."
— Michelle Moore, Columbia, MO
From Food Addict to 65 Pounds Lost
"I started in Teresa's first group in 2014. I have learned so much. I do really well when I follow God's plan for me which is eating healthy foods and trusting in His leading. I finally accepted I am a food addict. That revelation came when Teresa shared the statement that sugar is only one molecule away from alcohol. I have been sober from alcohol for 35 years, so I immediately knew and understood this is an addiction. I had to learn that sugar is more than just that white stuff. There are other foods, mostly high in carbohydrates, that trigger cravings. I have lost 65 pounds, which was a lot to carry on my less than 5-foot frame. I gained some back, but have rededicated myself to following what I know to do!"
— Rhonda Burrows, Palestine, TX
