THM Man Challenge Testimonies

For the month of July, we did a Trim Healthy Man 31 Day Challenge.  We had no idea if anyone would participate or if we'd just be out here doing this on our own.  We were thankful that over 30 guys jumped on board and gave it a go!   Shan did the 31 days with NO Cheats along with the guys, though he's been so busy he couldn't participate much on the blog or in the A Home With Purpose-THM Family Challenge group.  It's fun to have a group for families doing THM together.  It's not a fast paced group, which I love. As I was receiving the guys results and after pictures I KNEW I had to share them with you. This is only a few of the guys involved, but I think the pictures, measurements and numbers speak volumes.  They SHOUT out that Trim Healthy Mama is NOT just for mamas.  It's really a plan for anyone.   We believe this so strongly that we are doing another challenge in September for the whole family!  Fun prizes and all! Ben:   Ben did an amazing job on the plan!  No cheats.  He worked the plan at home with his mom.  He  even started exercising this month which wasn't even a qualification to be involved! Ben lost 19.8 pounds!  GO BEN!  He lost a ton of inches too.  In his hips alone he lost 5.5 inches!   July 1st-4 Matthew H.: OUR WINNER! (random drawing by Shan) IMG_1695 Matthew is 31 years old. Aimee is super proud of her man!  She writes, "My husband was amazing!! I am so excited. He did the challenge because his doctor told him he had to do something. His blood pressure was super high and his cholesterol and triglycerides were high as well. His weigh in the morning was 243, down 13.5 pounds. Lost 2.75 inches around his chest as well as his waist. Lost an inch around his neck and 3 inches around his belt line. The best part is his blood pressure is within normal range and his cholesterol and triglycerides the doctor now considers normal!! (We're talking 180s/112 now down to 130/85) He is sleeping better, snoring less and is battling anxiety less. He drinks a moonshine every day because the acv is supposed to help with blood pressure and I'm certain it has. Not one cheat this month! He is drinking moonshine and trimmys and I'm just so proud of him." July 1st Matt  Matt is 33 years old and lives in Joplin, MO. He works a desk job and this is the first time he has jumped on the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan. He tried lots of new things and says this is the way he wants to eat from now on because he feels great and has more energy! Matt lost an amazing 18 pounds this July on THM. Before Billy: He is 36, works as a physical therapist assistant. He and his wife have 2 boys, ages 2 & 8. He loves baseball (GO CUBS!) and he loves to cook. Billy lost 12.4 pounds this past month on THM.  Billy's tummy is shrinking!!

July 1st- August 1st

Tim: Here's what Tim's wife, Rebecca has to say... "Tim is 30. He is the Student Worship Associate Pastor at a Southern Baptist church in South Georgia. He has struggled with being overweight since college, and has tried multiple diets over the past few years. He was very successful a few years ago with losing weight, but wasn't able to maintain it due to the diet requiring him drink a lot of "shakes" and not getting enough calories. It caused him to give up, give in to stress, and he gained his weight back and lost a lot of energy. After recently receiving the results of an insurance physical and seeing that he was at risk of having a stroke or heart attack, he tried another popular diet and failed. I heard about THM and asked him if he would try it for a month. We started May 1 and he felt full, had more energy AND was losing weight. Plus, the diet was sustainable and we both enjoyed the food and recipes. I'm just so excited for him that this is actually working and totally do-able. People at church have been commenting and shocked at his weight loss. Multiple people have been interested in THM and have asked us how he lost the weight (and continuing to lose). He has a pair of "goal pants" he's trying to fit into. Also, this morning he weighed 209 pounds!!! So, -13 pounds in July. It was a great month for him." July 1st-3 Many other guys did a wonderful job as well! *Darrin says, "My wife had me start the diet at 252 lbs on Nov 1, 2015. She had been on it for a year before. I started with a 40 waist pants and was down to 36 with in 3 months. That's with out any real workouts or anything."  During the July Man Challenge Darren lost 7 pounds and a bunch of inches!  Darrin is now 211 pounds and has lost a grand total of 41 pounds on THM since the Fall. *Brent lost 5 1/2 inches and about 8 pounds. *Nathan lost over 5 inches and 12 pounds. I can go on and on and on with the emails we received the past few days.  Even some of the guys who didn't stay on plan 100% and couldn't be eligible to win the prize lost pounds and inches and feel better!  They were thankful for the challenge and motivated to keep going. Over 30 guys signed up and we had 16 guys who stayed the course and did THM 100%!  These 16 guys lost a total of 140.3 pounds and one fella stayed on and still needs to send me his weight for a final total of all the pounds lost.  His buttons aren't stressed on his shirts so I'm sure he lost some pounds too. Many guys had a few cheats, but to be fair we only let the 16 with no cheats enter in for the prize. We hope this will help some fellas jump on board and give THM a try!  The pictures and numbers speak for themselves.  THM is not just for mamas.  It's truly a healthy plan for anyone who is looking to trim down and feed the body with good fuel to keep it running.  What do you have to lose, but unwanted pounds and inches! Look for details on the rules and prizes for the THM 30 Day Family Challenge in the weeks to come.   You can feel free to join our A Home With Purpose-THM Family Challenge group in the meantime!  It's a family friendly page. We also started a new Pinterest Board with THM Man Pleasing Meal Ideas.  You can also check out the post, THM Man Pleasing Dinner Ideas. One last note:  We are in LOVE with some new products we were introduced to by a company called, Bare Foods.  Check out their Soppin' Sauce for one!  They have a whole new line of rubs as well.  All their products are sugar free and stevia sweetened.  Top notch stuff!  Be sure to check out their website! *This post may contain affiliate links!  This costs you absolutely nothing extra, but gives a little stream of income to support our website. Soli Deo Gloria! Jen and Shan

    Very encouraging! Do any of the guys have sample meal plans? I am struggling with what to feed my husband to keep it interesting and make sure he gets enough to eat without spending every evening in the kitchen for hours! Meals and snacks please!
