Who Led Faithful Finish Lines?
Faithful Finish Lines was created by Sara Borgstede, who has lost over 100 pounds and maintained her weight loss for two decades. She is passionate about making Christ the center of her weight loss journey and inviting other women to do the same.
{New!} The Holy Mess Weight Loss Membership
After leading Faithful Finish Lines for 10 years, Sara opened The Holy Mess Weight Loss Membership.
Sara Borgstede, Leader and Mentor
Sara Borgstede, FFL leader and mentor, lives in Tonawanda, NY, and has lost over 100 lbs and maintained that loss for twenty years.
For most of Sara’s adult life, she was an over-giver. She was a Mom. Foster Mom. Pastor’s wife.
She was so busy caring for others that she didn’t care for herself.
God brought her on an amazing journey. She has lost over 120 pounds and has maintained it for almost two decades.
She went from total couch potato to the fit & healthy woman she is today. She has completed 50+ races, including triathlons, 5ks, ½ marathons, and one 70.3 Ironman. She has tons of energy to care for her family with her husband Mike & 5 kids, including two with special needs.
She has overcome depression, panic attacks, digestive problems, and menopause changes. She can’t wait to see how God will do a new thing in your life, too.
Sara runs TheHolyMess.com, where she shares WW weight loss tips and recipes, faith-based encouragement, Bible reading plans, and more.

Sara is a real woman in the trenches with you, facing the battles of former food addictions, fitting exercise into schedules and busy lives, and owning up to body image issues…she gets you.
She is here to provide a community of support, encouragement, and grace, along with a good kick in the butt when needed!
God has blessed her with stories of recovery and victory, and she is ready to share all she has learned.

Another reason I love the program is that not only are the leaders super inspiring and encouraging, but the members of the group are as well! We spend time each week logging onto the Faithful Finish Lines Facebook page to cheer each other on in our journey. Faithful Finish Lines isn’t something you do on your own, which often leads to giving up and going back to your old way of doing things. Instead, Faithful Finish Lines has a built-in accountability system. There are other people walking alongside you in this journey, encouraging and lifting you up in prayer, while you do the same for them. It’s amazing, and I’m so so thankful to be a part of this wonderful group!
