It's been a few months shy of three years that I've been on the Trim Healthy Mama bandwagon. You could say... I LOVE it! I got my brand spankin' new books and a fun idea hit me! Book Club? There may be read-alongs going on already, but since I'm not on any major THM boards, I've missed them. I stepped away from working for THM and my Admin duties at the end of June this past year. One thing I miss more than I can ever explain is the Admin Team I was apart of and their love and support as well as the boards I was on. It gave me incredible prayer support and accountability as well as life-long friendships! So, you could say THM brought much more than a great eating plan into my life. (I should've had someone cue the sappy music!)
Since I'm not apart of any larger groups, I thought I'd see if anyone would be interested in reading the book with the "old" Admin of Fun? Someone say yes!
I thought we could start October 5th and go until....the end. Just do a few chapters a week so it's not too much to chew on at a time. We can then discuss what we are learning and bounce ideas off of each other. I will post my thoughts here on my site with each new chapter and remind everyone of what to read next. You can feel free to comment here about what you are learning each week OR you can join me in a little Facebook Group I'd created for my site that is an area for chat! It's not my landing page where I share recipes and articles, but a group called, A Home With Purpose- Mama Chat.
Let me know if you are "IN"! Join the Mama Chat group to be able to interact with the others or if you are a bit more private or not on Facebook, feel free to comment here as we read on my posts.
Do you have your book yet? You can order it easily off of Amazon or pick it up at about any bookstore, Walmart, Kroger, etc.
NOTE: I will not be giving away the plan or giving you cliff notes. You must read with me! If you ask me, this new book is a steal of a deal!

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 here...
I have just gotten my new book. Have the old one too. Something is just not “clicking”. I have been on THM for over a year. Very, very few pounds gone. Down in size and have much more health. Both pluses. I just feel like there is something more. I’m not into going to doctors but I do do vitamins, minerals, etc. Hoping reading the new book and listening in here might help. HUGS, Terry
Cindy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am struggling with comprehension of the plan so this would be a great help!! Looking forward to it and thank you for thinking of us strugglers.
Joyce
Yes I’m in
Tammy
I’m in! 🙂
Eileen
Just wondering how different this book is…easier to grasp the plan, I hope?!? Anyone know yet?
godzgaljen@gmail.com
I believe so! It’s much more condensed. It just takes some time to learn the basics (either book) and then to give yourself some grace as you go. I messed up the first few weeks until I got the hang of it..then it’s like riding a bike!
Denise
Great idea! I do not own the new book, only the old book. What is the difference between the books?
godzgaljen@gmail.com
Core is the same concept.
Differences are a Men’s Chapter, Updated Fuel Cycle info and updated Pregnancy and Nursing info.
It’s much more condensed as well.
Stacey
Do we have to have the new book to join in? I have the first book and was trying to avoid having to buy the new one,but I will if I need to.
godzgaljen@gmail.com
That is up to you. The core concept is the same. Updates: Men’s Chapter, new info in the Pregnant/Nursing area and the Fuel Cycle Chapter has been updated a bit. Not sure how easy it will be to follow along with different page and chapter numbers…
Sue
Let’s do this. What’s next?
Cynthia
I’m not on Facebook, so I would be interested in getting your comments, etc., in this format. I have both of the new books as well as the old one. I’ve been on the plan for over a year and have lost weight and inches, but seem to be stalled. I was hoping that the new books would help get me going again. Thank you for offering this extra avenue of help and encouragement.
Carol
I would like to try this. Thanks so much for doing this sweet helpful thing/group!
Marlene hayes
this may be just what I need to help me see results with this program.
Lianne

I have just gotten my new book. Have the old one too. Something is just not “clicking”. I have been on THM for over a year. Very, very few pounds gone. Down in size and have much more health. Both pluses. I just feel like there is something more. I’m not into going to doctors but I do do vitamins, minerals, etc. Hoping reading the new book and listening in here might help. HUGS, Terry
