Though it's taken time to reach this goal, I am thankful. I am savoring each little non-scale victory that I meet. Recently I went to the doctor because I had some hormone testing done and wanted him to read the results. I met a goal sitting on the doctor's table. He went to take my blood pressure and put the cuff on. I am used to the embarrassment of a doctor asking the nurse for the larger cuff because it won't fit. Today, it fit perfectly! I smiled. Then my blood pressure was 125/85!! I wanted to jump up and down! One year ago I was on blood pressure medicine and it was still at 165/90 or higher! My bottom numbers were often at 99. My doctor was proud of me which was an added bonus! I will take these type victories any day over pounds. Stalls or slow loses can all be a beautiful part of the journey if YOU let it. It was a signal for me that my body was healing and that my thyroid was low. Now, I am getting help for my hormone health!
So, for fun...I wanted to see how many pounds I've lost visually! I know it encourages me to keep on pushing! What weighs 75 pounds? How much have I really lost?
My dog wouldn't cooperate for pictures because our cat way nearby! Oh well!!
Thanks for the support many of you have given me on my journey! I've got a ways to go but, I am thankful for how far I've come! I am thankful for all God has done in my life through Trim Healthy Mama!

About Jennifer
Hello there! I’m Jennifer and Welcome to my website – A Home with Purpose. My passion is sharing Christ’s Love and recipes with my Trim Healthy Mama friends. Learn more about me.
Congrats! You are an inspiration to me!
Thank you so much Jennifer. For all of your encouragement to me through your posts, your recipes, your encouragement. It means so much to me. I tend to emotionally eat, and right now my emotions are all over the place, and for the first time in my life, I am able to not only stick with healthy choices, but I overeat way less. Thank you!
You go girl! Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey because you have not only given great recipes but encouraged me as a THM plodder! The goal is health and enjoying food… love it!
Jennifer, thanks for the encouraging update. I get discouraged because weight is coming off so slowly. In fact, I joined the turtle group. I needed to hear what you shared about not quitting, knowing the plan will work. You look amazing:) thanks for all you do as a thm encourager.
Beautiful photo Jennifer. Thank you for sharing your journey it has been so very inspiring to me. May God bless you richly.
Congratulations Jennifer, it is so wonderful how THM not only helps us loose weight but we are able to heal our bodies with it as well.
You are brave and beautiful and an inspiration! I think you look gorgeous, and you encourage me to stick with the plan!
Congrats!! I’m so happy for you, thanks for helping lots of other ladies on their THM journey too!

Wow! You really look slim and your dress is super cute. Your positive attitude is so encouraging…keep it up! 🙂
Congratulations! Love your cute dress and jean vest. 🙂 You are an inspiration.
Can’t wait till you can add the weight of the cat to the image too! You are doing so well. Be proud.
AWESOME, Jennifer!!!!!
Jennifer you look absolutely smashing. So proud of you. Thank ypu for sharing your journey with us and your delicious foods. I know God has used in so many ways to bless others. Congratulations on meeting one of your goals. Praising God with you.
You are amazing and look wonderful. I am so proud of you. BTW, I made your egg casserole for Easter potluck breakfast and it was a hit. My kids said it was the best one there! Thank you.
75 is amazing! You look so happy, healthy, and great ~ keep up the good work and thanks for the encouragement.
So proud of you! I’m just starting my journey and have 100 to lose. We can do this!
I am so proud and happy for you! One day at a time and look what you and the Lord did together, truly amazing.
You look beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I’ve just started my new life style and your story is a great encouragement.
Jennifer, I recently learned that I have an under active thyroid, as well. Can you share what you’re doing to boost your thyroid function? Thanks!
Jessica, I did my own blood work. I used Healthonelabs.com but, there are many others. I did a female panel and an extra thyroid panel that had Free T3 and Free T4 tests in it. Those are the early indicators and often overlooked in testing. I paid about $120 for all those tests…a fraction of what I’d have paid if the doctor ordered them. I then got my results via email and took them to my doctor.
He is a D.O…or a natural doc who does great with thyroid stuff. 🙂 He said 3 of my 4 sex hormones were low. So, he put me on Nature-Throid to get my thyroid where it needs to be…hopefully the others will follow suit. He explained that the thyroid is like a thermostat for the others. I am also now taking Selenium and Iodine. 🙂 Those are often deficient.
I’ve been off plan for months. I cannot seem to get myself going again. I’m so discouraged. I want to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for sharing your successes.
Sorry you are struggling, Laura! I know you can do it.
Oh you look fabulous!!!!!!! I look just like your before (except your hair is WAY cuter!!!) and am about the same weight. 🙁 I NEED to get the book to officially start THM!! I’ve been pinning recipes like a mad woman!! And my husband was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic about a month ago, so this would be a perfect fit for him, too!!
I’m signing up to follow your blog! I cannot wait to learn!!
What are you “must have’s” to get started? Stevia? Different flours??
GREAT job on your weight loss! I’m proud of you!!!
His,
Shari
Hi Shari! Thanks for the sweet words. You can do it too! I hope you can get the book soon. It comes quickest from the THM website. With Amazon many have waited up to 3 weeks to get it. I really like the THM Sweet Blend and the Stevia Extract as well. I’ve tried so many! You can do well with no special ingredients but, I know Swanson’s Brand PREMIUM Protein Powder is something I do buy that really helps. I love having smoothies/shakes. You can buy Jay Robb brand in the supermarket but, it’s more expensive since it’s a much smaller amount. I do use coconut and flax flours in my baking. I use almond as well, sometimes. You can just start slow and add a few things here and there. 🙂
YOU are ADORABLE!!
You are beautiful. What an inspiration!!! Just discovered your website and am so happy I did. I have been a very slow loser, but am thankful for THM and all the wonderful gals I have met along the way. The support helps so very much.
Thank you Audre! Support is HUGE in helping each of us to stay on track and encouraged 😉
