Hey Guys!! I’ve been a practicing THM since May 2013. I’ve had two babies and nursing both of them while THMing. I have the first old book, which I’ve got to admit, I LOVE, and the new Planbook and Cookbook, which I equally love! I’ve had my cheats, my relapses, my defeats and my victories. But I always keep getting back up and getting right back on plan, because it’s just so easy to me! It makes sense and there are so many benefits other than just weight loss.
I’ll be honest, my last pregnancy threw me off so much. I was so anxious, probably because it was my seventh baby. I allowed that to totally derail me. Boohoo… yes, and then once my beautiful baby was born I kicked myself even more for not sticking to my plan. That didn’t help me! But, even though I am basically starting over, I am determined to be in it to win it. The NEW Planbook is soooooo good and easy to read! I’ve been reading and re-reading it. Also, the THM Membership is such a big help! Especially the special menus and shopping lists I get for Stubborn Losers! Of course, that is not necessary at all! All you need is the planbook! No joke! I love the cookbook and turn to it all the time BUT… I have THMed so many of my familiar meals. It just takes a little tweaking to make most meals into a THM meal!!
Here are a couple samples of meals I’ve made forever that I’ve now tweaked to be THM.
Stew- easy peasy, just replace any carrots or potatoes with another veggie that fits meal type. I use lots and lots of veggies like, zucchini, yellow squash, radishes, onion, green beans. Sometimes I will even add in a little acorn squash for the sweetness.
Spaghetti- this was an easy one for me. I had been making Turkey Spaghetti with Spaghetti Squash since my WeightWatcher days.
Rice and Beans- this was also an easy tweak. Replace the rice with brown rice. Use fat-free chicken broth or beef broth. Only use a sprinkle of cheese for the top and replace sour cream with greek yogurt.
Meatloaf- to replace bread crumbs I use a toasted Low Carb Tortilla or Joseph’s Pita or THM Baking Blend. As a side, instead of potatoes, I use mashed cauliflower.
Sandwiches- I am mindful of the type of fuel I am having so I know how to dress it. If I have an E, I will use a sprouted bread with a homemade honey mustard type of dressing (more fat free), a lite turkey meat and pile on the lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. For an S sandwich, I will use either a low carb tortilla or wrap or make the Nuke Queen Bread in the oven. I will use full fat mayo, cheese, avocado, whatever meat I want, and lots of lettuce, a little tomato too.
Those are just a few of the easy tweaks I do to my familiar recipes.
I wanted to include some helpful tips from my Long Time THMing Blogging Buds & myself!

Anointed Oil of Joy is great if you have certain allergies!
I always feel great when I eat on plan. Love this lifestyle!
I’ve done THM for almost 3 years, most of my family has adopted this type of eating as well. It has been very helpful to our health.
I didn’t have to lose weight really but the concepts in THM have helped me stay at a good weight and I have struggled with that on and off throughout my life. I likely will try to work a bit harder to lose about 5 pounds. I am sharing the concepts w/ my husband and it’s helping him.
So excited! All my favorites! Thank you!
I just started THM, I’m loving it so far, I also love the community there is with it.
I have been a THM for two years. I have lost 30 pounds…but I still struggle at times!
I’ve been on plan for a year and a half and love it! I’ve gotten pretty lenient for a while, so I need to buckle down again 🙂
I love THM. I am so grateful to the friend who told me about it. I like that there is such a variety and no guilt if you cheat or have a bad day. Just start over. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love some of these replacement ideas for foods we usually eat. Thanks!!!
I have always loved your blog and recipes. Thank you for being transparent and real.
I learned I have been struggling since mid August. I have been called a part time THMer. I LOVE the original THM book and the new Plan Book. I re read the chapters to be re inspired. I am addicted to THM boards. They do hold me accountable.
I am one of the admins on two THM boards (ASL and Main page.)
I can relate to many individuals who struggle to stay on plan. The cravings gets the best out of me. I go too long in between eating (for example, my lunch was at 11 and didn’t eat until 8:30—-which means I was HANGRY, so Pizza take out sounds so good at that time.) isn’t that amazing how our bodies work? Eating at every 3-4 hours is CRUCIAL.
Eat whole, nutritious foods helps with the cravings. If I am not eating well, my body craves for off plan foods. Page 14 of the THM Plan Book confirms it and really hits home for me to WHY I eat off plan.
Again, I love this post and am inspired.
Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE your taco crunch salad. Oh my goodness!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!! Hugs!!
Thanks for the giveaway, I’ve been doing THM for 2 years, through 1 pregnancy currently breastfeeding, I love this way of eating, it gives me food freedom!
Thanks for these good reminders!!
I have also been a THM since 2013. I had serious post partum depression and my cutting out sugar was a huge step in feeling better. I have fallen off the wagon several times…but always got back on. And I recommitted May 20th, of 2016. Since then I have lost almost 20 pounds. Hooray for THM…and a lifetime of learning (and grace)! 🙂
Some of your recipes are my favorites and I should could use the items in the giveaway!
I began THM October 2013 when my 4th baby was 11 months old. It was the first plan that seemed to help me lose baby weight as a turtle loser! I got pregnant with baby #5 and was off plan for most of my pregnancy with lots of morning sickness. I’ve been easing my way back on plan and now that my baby just turned 1 and we’re in the process of weaning I’m hoping to get fully back on track! I love following your journey, you are such a blessing and inspiration as a fellow homeschool mama!
I LOVE this post with so much helpful information! Thanks! My THM journey has been so enriched by you and many other blogger/recipe creators. I enjoy more than a few of your recipes.
Here’s to winning
I love your blog and Facebook page!!! I visit often! 🙂
You always have an encouraging word, and your real ness motivates me to keep on moving forward. ❤
I started with the old book too! I lost 20 pounds! I convinced my sister to give it a try and she lost 70 pounds!
THis is a fabulous giveaway!! Thanks so much for your wisdom, I’m excited to try some of your tips
I love the THM lifestyle. I’m in maintenance mode and feel so much better when I stay on plan. Thank you for the giveaway!
I love THM and need all the help I can get! Thank you for showing easy ways to tweak recipes.
I am still on my THM journey. I am at a stall, r/t stressful issues but I am not giving up. I wan to lose another 40 pounds. The first 40 was quite easy after really reading and doing everything just like he book said. I am struggling to maintain that loss but I am not quitting. I need to jumpstart my plan. Thanks for all your recipes and suggestions they have saved me many times.
I’m just getting started with THM and so excited to find so MANY GREAT resources online! I love your suggestions for converting standard meals.
thanks so much for such a wonderful chance at this giveaway
I started THM in May of 2016 was a slow turtle over 50 but managed to lose 10 lbs by August. Then the flood happened in LA and I totally was off plan. Lost all my books and special ingredents. In December my Mom passed away unexpectedly we had been living with her since the flood. With all the stress I managed not to gain back any. Fast forward to March were SLOWLY getting our house put back and working toward getting back on plan. PS my DH has decided to join in this time. What a great giveaway Love your blog.
I use some of the THM recipes but haven’t been fully committed to it for quite a while
My journey started last year in a quest to be healthier. I had tried the Omni Drops ( 500 calories a day ) and while it worked the first 2 times, the 3rd and 4th I began to become sick as my body and diabetes had enough. So I saw the THM diet and read into it and saw all the healthy stuff it involved and decided to give it a go. I stopped doing THM thinking I was moving on to a better diet ( 21 Day Fix). While it is not a bad diet, it just wasn’t something I stuck to either. So I am back with my head held up high with a determination of making this my lifetime of eating because I need this so I can live my life the way I was meant to live.
Thank you for the wonderful tips! I am new to THM and this information really helps!
I am having a hard time following it completely, especially in the winter. And have gained about 8 pounds and my jeans are tight!
Thanks for the great tips! I have been mostly on plan for about two years. I have really enjoyed your easy to follow recipes, thanks!
Love THM. I am pretty good at getting derailed but so far I am down 15 pounds!
Great swap ideas to keep eating family favorites the THM way!
I am more a sloth than a turtle, but all you wonderful bloggers help me so much. Thank you for all the encouragement and the chance at this great giveaway.
This looks like a wealth of information to digest. Definitely a pinned post that I will come back to many times! I would be through the roof if I won the giveaway!!
Thank you for sharing your journey. This THM community means so much to me.
Fantastic tips! I love your blog!
I started in August 2014 and lost well til about last August and since then I’ve put on a couple of pounds. I’ve gotten too slack. Time to reread the book and go over all of the links you shared. Just told my husband it’s time to quit “cheating”. I truly have enjoyed the food freedom.
I have been a Trim Healthy Mama since September 2014 and I’m never going back! Food freedom, encouragement, and SUCCESS!
I’m slowly losing weight due to a lot of health issues. I haven’t tried most of the products in the prize package and would be excited to do so. I am sure I’m going to eat this way for life.
I love all of your recipes and blog posts.
I was introduced to thm last March. I had about 20lbs to shed but really didn’t think that was possible. I was amazed to see that by June I was down the 20lbs! So thankful for thm… I have not been consistent but would like to jump back in. I love your blog and recipes!
Thank you!
Started THM about 2 years ago. Fell off a few times but always happy to get back on track again. I feel so much happier and healthier!
I have followed THM for over a year now and I am so thankful for this new lifestyle. I would love to win! Thanks for your great recipes and tips!
I’ve been following THM for close to two years now. I’ve lost 65 pounds, but still have about 50 to go. It’s been very slow going lately. Thanks for doing this giveaway!!
My daughter and I began THM in July 2016. We did great for several months, dropped several sizes and pounds, then life/work happened. We have been trying to get back on track since January but are having the hardest time. It shouldn’t be hard though. We know the benefits, we know what to do. Why is it so difficult?
Love THM products
Love your blog Sarah!!
Thank you for your generous giveaway.
I have been doing THM for about a year, and saw really great results from about Sept to Dec. The last few months have been a definite struggle, and being a slow loser can be frustrating. However, your post has given me a renewed strength, lots of great supportive links, and I’m excited to continue on in the journey!
Thank you again for all you do to support us fellow THM, and thank you to the many ladies you’ve posted links for!
I have a hard time sticking to plan, but love being able to give myself grace. Thank you for your tips, recipes, etc.
THM since 2013, but I am a turtle… Also lacking in discipline and motivation. But I keep coming back.
Love THM. Losing slowing, but feeling great!
I’ve always believed in the concepts of THM, but I’ve never had the will-power to follow the plan. This pregnancy I have gestational diabetes, so I’ve been using this as motivation to stick to the plan closely and it has helped my blood glucose levels stay well within normal ranges. I also haven’t gained any weight for the last month! (I gained 30 lbs by this time in my last pregnancy, and have limited it to 16 lbs this time)
They say it takes 30 days to set up a habit, so with two months left in pregnancy, I anticipate being able to get myself in the habit of eating well and continuing after the baby is born. My goal is to actually lose the baby weight this time.
Is the giveaway for Canadian Mamas too?
No… I’m sorry… I hope to do another Canadian Giveaway soon!!
My THM journey has not been successful. Just being honest! I’ve gained 30 pounds since quitting WW in Oct. 2015 for THM. It seems that just eating something off plan once in a week can put two pounds on me that don’t come off. I am dangerously close to being out of “onederland.” I’ve found that many of the non-white flour options and alternative sweeteners don’t agree with me. Same result with GGMS. I don’t feel as healthy as I did before. I really wanted this to work for me but so far, I’m not the poster girl for THM.
I’ve been doing this liftstyle for almost 4 years. It’s been slow but steady. 75 lbs are gone for good!!
I love THM! It’s a lifestyle for me now. Yes I have cheat times, but that is life. And it’s always 3 hrs away to get right back on!
I have been looking into THM for about 8 months. Been very confused/overwhelmed so gave up. I joined all the Facebook groups. I want to do this so bad as I am very tired of the extra weight I’m carrying. I met with a dear friend who just started doing THM and had success and that got me going again. I’m trying to do meal planning now and have only just begun. I want to make this a lifestyle.
I have been a “one foot in, one foot scared-to-give-up-my-old-habits out” THM lurker for over 3 years Need to just take the plunge and jump in! Thanks for this post, with the helpful links! And the great giveaway!
I absolutely adore your recipes. Thank you for the time and effort you put into them. I’ve been on plan since June 2016 and have had lots of ups and downs with a move mid way in and co op starting back up for the girls. I wouldn’t trade THM for any other plan. Thanks for this giveaway.
I just restarted back on THM on January 1st. Thank you for your great tips and awesome give away.
Just started THM a couple weeks ago. Just starting to notice some progress. I don’t have any of the THM products, so I would love to win!
I have been doing THM on and off since May of 2014. It helped me lose 10 pounds originally, and I just love feeling healthier when I eat better. I felt healthy and strong during the latter part of my pregnancy in 2016 because of THM. Sadly having my first child really derailed me, but I am trying to be more consistent with THM again now (10 months later ) I know it is a journey though and not something I have to live to perfection.
Mrs. Criddle…Thank you for all the inspiration and great ideas. I did so good on plan a few years back. It is time to he back at it!!!
I love the recipes.
I LOVE your recipes!!!!!!
I have done THM in the past, but got off track. I’m getting back on the THM train. Ready to go!!
I’ve been in and off THM for 3years. It’s the only time I’ve ever done a diet. I need to get serious so I can have a surgery ice been putting off (not weight related). I love this blog and all the yummy recipes. It really helps ppl like me who aren’t naturals in the kitchen.
I have been off and on with THM over the last few years. I’ve really buckled down the last month here and I’m down 10 lbs. 🙂 I am working on other health issues at the same time, and finally beginning to see a little bit of positive change. I’m encouraged by it and will continue down this path. 🙂
I have been using THM since July and I have lost 25 lbs. I am trying to be more successful on this journey!
Love this blog!!!!
I am just starting out on my trim healthy mama journey and this giveaway should be a life saver for how tight my budget is!
Hi! I love this lifestyle of eating! I definitely feel better when I stick to it. Unfortunately I fail at being on it strictly all the time. My family can tell when I am off of it. Blessings to you as you share your journey, tips, and recipes with us! To everyone-let’s keep on keeping on!
Been doing THM off and on for three years in april. I’ve lost and gained and lost….I recommend thm. It has been a great learning experience for me. I’ve gained a whole different perspective of food!
You’ve inspired me to get back on track! It’s been difficult since I’m EBF because I’m hungry alllll the time. But just need to make sure to have good snacks on hand.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, insight and experience. So helpful for those of us who are new to THM.
I’m new to this THM stuff but I’m finding that if you really are consistent it will pay off!!
I just started THM on January 3rd and I am loving it! All the tips are so helpful and have helped me be successful. Thanks!
thanks for all the helpful tips 🙂
I have had one foot in and one foot out on this plan for over a year and really struggle with committing to the plan. I have 4 kids and homeschool and feel to overwhelmed with life to make alot of the recipes. Your basic tweaks sound really doable and I appreciate that so much!
Love THM! Makes me feel so much better
I need to commit to following this. I have tried a few recipes
What a great giveaway! I love THM and how I can start over every 3 hours!
HI Sarah,
I sincerely want to thank you for sharing your journey, your tips and a peek inside your beautiful little family. I’ve been on THM since Feb 4th and I’ve lost 10 lbs. I have about 100 more to lose, and even though it feels daunting some days, I will perservere God bless you and your family. Thank you for the inspiration!! ❤
P.S. I look forward to you doing more videos on insta 🙂
I love the recipes I have tried from your blog! The items in your giveaway would give me the edge I need to get fully on board with the THM lifestyle! Thank you for the opportunity ❤
Ok so here is my story in a nut shell.
I started THM in November of 2014 and between then and August 2015 I lost 50lbs!! Then a got pregnant with my 5th baby, got sick and was put on bed rest. I gained 68 lbs back. Now that my Baby is 1 this month and I have only lost 13lbs it is time to get back on track!! This give away would give me a jump start to getting back on track.
What a wonderful giveaway ….thanks for the chance…..I have lost 40 lbs with this lifestyle and I’m having a hard time lately staying motivated…..
Just starting but can already tell a difference in how I feel!
I have been on THM for over a year and have lost 86 lbs! It is the best plan. My husband and I love THM and your recipes 🙂
I definitely feel better (and lose weight) when I can following THM 100%, however, due to food allergies and a tight budget, it is VERY difficult for me to remain on plan all the time.
I am working on staying consistent. When my budget is tight it’s so easy to just eat off plan. I’ve been doing THM for 3 years, but need to stay consistent.
I’m about 4.5 months into my journey and loving it! 27lbs gone forever with 72 more to go. THM makes living healthy doable!
I’ve been doing THM for about a year now and love it! I just had my third baby so I’m just trying to get 100% back on plan whilst keeping my milk supply up. Just wanted to say this giveaway is awesome, thank you so much for the chance to win!
I haven’t been consistently following THM but, to me, it is a lifestyle. I’m kind of stubborn with old ’emotional eating patterns’ but am slowly giving in to following THM more faithfully. When I abstain from sugar, gluten, and make the delicious THM recipes, my osteoarthritis is much more subdued. There is much less swelling and pain. I have so much more energy throughout the whole day. Best of all…. I sleep like a baby now! I thank God for helping the sisters discover this way of eating! I especially love that people like you are writing about this plan and coming up with tips and new recipes all the time. No diet boredom with THM!
I started THM in oct 2013. I lost 55+ lbs. I have kept most of it off but can’t seem to get any more lbs off. I kinda hit a wall and can’t get motivated again. winning this could be the motivation I need!!!
Been following the THM way of eating since September 2016, have not been able to afford many of the special ingredients, but have been successful at losing weight and gaining self confidence that I had lost years ago. Thank you for the opportunity to win these items, and all you experienced ladies who guide and inspire us.
I am just starting on this journey but love all your hints and tips!
I’m a newbie and have only been doing THM for a month, but I love it (and the results)! Thank you for your yummy recipes!
I am making my way back on plan. I had lost 23 pounds the first time. I have been off plan and the pounds are starting to creep back up. Thank you for the encouragement.
I love thm and have been eating this way several years.
I love that I can bake yummy treats for my family and not feel guilty eating them.
Just got started again last week after being lazy over the holidays! Love your recipes!
I have been on again, off again lately, but teady to be fully committed again! I do feel better, my skin looks better, and i shrink! Great links for tips, and a super generous giveaway!
I am just so thankful and grateful for you and all the ladies writing blogs, testing, tweaking & perfecting recipes that help us take this THM thing to new levels. Well done! A thousand thanks yous!!!
I have been trying out Trim Healthy Mama since I was pregnant with my now 8 month old. Still have’t quite got the hang of it but when I was doing well, it did work. E meals are hard!
I started THM approx 2 yrs ago. I’ve learned a lot about myself and love how amazingly easy eating on plan really is!
Thanks and I enjoy your tips and recipes!
This is my second try on THM, I first started in 2013 when it first came out. No one was losing weight yet so I thought there was no way it could possibly help me lose weight without counting points or calories or something! I was staying too much in the deep S category and I was feeling nauseous due to all the fat and my gallbladder being removed. I’ve learned a lot and I’m ready to be an after photo
I love THM! I sometimes fall off the wagon but I always come back to the THM lifestyle. My body always feel best when I’m balancing my carbs and fats in a good way!
I am doing THM to hopefully counteract PCOS and be able to conceive. I love the way I feel when I eat this way and can’t wait to get some THM products to make even more delicious food!
I have been doing THM for about 1 year. I have made lots of mistakes but thankful to grace to start again in 3 hours!!
I’m a newbie to THM.. like just 2 days ago.. still have a long way to go to learn everything. But im learning new things everyday about my new lifestyle.
Thank you for the tips! People like me appreciate it a lot!
I’ve been on plan for 2.5 years, maintaining a 50 pound loss!! Thank you for an amazing giveaway!
This is the first time I have fully committed myself to THM in nearly two years. I’m super excited about losing weight and feeling better overall. I have Fibromyalgia and other issues that are associated with it, so feeling better will be an awesome bonus!
I have been trying to do a little at a time. I live in Japan so many items just are not available here. I also live in the area hit by the tsunami so that makes even daily items sometimes hard to find even now 5 years later.
Basically, I am trying to use the whole foods that are available and I try to combine them in the correct way.
(I have a US shipping address if I would be lucky enough to win)
Thanks for these great reminders and tips. I’ve been on THM for 2 years but started my “fresh start” in January. Down 14 lbs now love THM and I tell everyone I know about it! My family loves all Mrs Criddles recipes.
So many ups and downs but I believe in the plan so I’m committed to pressing on!
I use your recipes all the time! They are always family favorites! I love THM and their products!
My sister and I decided to start our new THM lifestyle a month ago. We’ve had our ups and down but feel amazing!!! The scale may not be moving as fast as I would like but I’m seeing progress. I love all the help and support! Thank you so much for for this amazing blog!!!
I need the fresh start! I’ve been doing much better the past two weeks but I really need to do better for my health’s sake.
I’ve been on and off again for 3 years but I really feel better when I’m on! And the food is so good!
I definitely have my ups and downs but the real difference for me is how I feel. I have been able to go off all my medications. I am a turtle loser but maybe would be better if I stuck to it 100% instead of 85% of the time.
I love THM! I have lost many inches but the scale hasn’t moved in months. I have been on-plan since 2013, so I think my first FC is going to happen in the next few weeks. Thanks for the giveaway!
Have all three books and I cannot get it together to do this plan 100%. It is all up to me. Thank you for offering the give away!
Thank you for all you share!
I have been following THM for 2.5 years. I initially lost 30 lbs and then lost my way. I have gained 20 back, but have still been mostly sugar free. Now I am back with a vengeance and determined to follow through with this journey.
Trying to get on track with THM. Thanks Sarah for the awesome giveaway and for sharing all of your amazing THM & family friendly recipes! Blessings!!!
I have been following THM for 3 years, and your recipes were some of the first meals I made to get me going on the right track! P.s. I still LOVE your recipes 🙂
I’m just getting started. Thanks for the great tips!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!! I love your recipes! ❤
I’ve been following the for Approx 6 months not 100% on plan. I enjoy the simplicity of it and yet abundance of recipes
I’m a newbie in the fact that I began in October. My husband got on board and has lost 12 lbs. We love eating this way! I’ve yet to try many of the THM brand items; this giveaway would be a blessing.
I LOVE THM! I’ve been on plan for almost a year. Though we had a huge move, and some major stress. So I’ve fallen off course a bit, which for me means not eating and too much coffee. But things are settling down, and I’m back on track.
My family LOVES everything I make. And I’ve lost 40+lbs!!!
Thank you for the awesome giveaway, recipes, and tips!!
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips!
This will be an absolute blessing to whom ever wins it. I’ve been on and off THM for the last 2 years I had some success at first losing 40lbs but life got in the way as it has a way of happening and I gained most of that weight back. However I’m ready to get back into the swing of things here’s to health and happiness!
I love the THM lifestyle! Thank you so much for all the great tips and such an AWESOME giveaway! Blessings!
I’m gearing myself up for a second attempt at THM. The first time around I tried to do everything at once and got overwhelmed. This time I plan to ease into it and give myself grace.
I have been following the THM lifestyle for about a year now and can’t believe how much healthier I feel!
I have been following the THM lifestyle for about a year now. I can’t believe how much healthier I feel!
We started THM two years ago- fell off while selling our house- and we’re loving getting back at it! I haven’t actually tried the THM products yet but the plan itself has been very helpful.
I began THM in May 2013, pregnant with my 10th child. I only gained 12 lbs (instead of my usual 40,) maintained a healthy bp, no heartburn, minimal swelling, and had the healthiest pregnancy EVER! I gave birth to a healthy 9 lb 11 oz boy, and lost 25 lbs immediately afterwards on THM. I later discontinued THM due to other health reasons, but my daughter and I are back on 100% and loving it!
Thanks for doing a giveaway. I toy with THM but have not followed it completely. This post has much to offer me since I need all the help I can get!
I’ve never been on plan 100%, but I know it works! For the amount I’ve done it in the past, I lost 28lbs over a few months before falling off the wagon again, and I’m struggling to get back on.
I started this life style about 3 years ago. It truly was one of the best things I could have done for myself..
Love your posts and recipes!
Love THM. Still have some pounds I’d like to lose, but love the food and am enjoying the journey.
This would be amazing!
I’ve been following you for a while now. I love love love your recipes. They always turn out so yummy! I just recently restarted THM, trying to loose the post wedding and baby weIshtar, down 5 pounds and about 60 more to go!
I love THM and all of the encouragement offered by followers.
I have fallen off the wagon and need some encouragement (or kick in the pants!) to get back to it. Winning would be a HUGE help, as I’ve just started a new job and won’t get a paycheck until mid-April.
I am restarting my journey – much slower this time 🙁
Oh I love this so much!!! And I’m glad I’m not the only one who has fallen off and gotten back on. I genuinely love THM. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going- excited to try some new recipes.
Luv Thm, allows myself to many cheats my second year plus not eating enough e’s. Put weight back on, not all of it but want to get back on track so getting in some deep s’s to help me out!
I love all of your blog and the recipes and encouragement you share. Thank you so much! One of my favorites.
Thank you for a chance at this giveaway! Love your blog, recipes and encouragement! Thank you for blessing us with your gifts and talents in the kitchen!
Thank you for the tips, encouragement, and giveaway!
Thank you for all the helpful tips! I’ve been doing THM for almost a year now and love the freedom and community. Your blog is one of the first I stumbled upon when I first started and will always be one of my very favorites! I know it can’t be super easy with kids and homelife to keep up with, but I so appreciate all that you do to help others, like me, still trying to figure it all out
Thank you for all the tips!
Thanks for all of your advice……..just getting started.
Just starting! Thanks for the help!
I’ve been turtling along on THM since July 2016. Feeling healthier, and dropping pant sizes every now and again. Thanks for such a great giveaway!!
I started this journey in Feb 2016 but fell back about 50% on old habits last summer. So I regained about 5 lbs. I’m having a hard time refunding my original motivation. This is a great giveaway. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I have been doing THM for about a year. Lately I’ve been running out of steam…. I really need to do a fresh start! I’m thinking of joining the members site for an extra push. I love your website…. Every recipe I’ve tried has been amazing!
I really enjoy your website. It has been so helpful to me 🙂
Thank you for sharing so many wonderful recipes.
I’ve done THM off and on for about 3 years. I’ve been off for awhile now, but really want to get back in track!!
Yay!! What an awesome giveaway!!
I’m an old-timer too! I have the original cookbook with the baby crawling across the front of the cover. I go off plan quite a bit but I always come back.
Not sure, if I am doing right. Only lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks.
I am still pretty much a newby, but I love your site and all the yummy recipes, tips and tricks! Thanks for all the effort you put into rhis for us!
What great, helpful tips and a super generous giveaway!!!! Thank you for all you do!
Oh, and I’ve been doing THM for 5 months… I still slip back into old habits at times, but have been so thankful for the lifestyle changes this far!!
I have been THMing off and on since January 2015. I’m currently using this season of Lent to get back on a plan 100% and it takes every bit of God’s grace to keep me on track! Love your recipes and your sense of humor!
I started THM on September 26, 2016 in hopes of getting healthy and losing some weight. I started off feeling better, more energized, and having better moods throughout the day. I was sleeping better and noticed my clothes were getting too big. Within the first 6 weeks I had lost 30 pounds and down almost 2 pant sizes!!
Been living the THM way since May. Incredible! Thanks for the tips and yummy recipes. They have been a tremendous help.
I’ve lost 55 pounds and regained my life
I’ve been doing THM on and off for the past couple years. Just recently I started up a THM group at church and the ladies are loving it! So thankful for such a great way of eating that is real life doable and for such a huge group of supportive ladies around the world!
I’ve been following THM for 15 months. It always makes me feel better when I’m not plan.
I started in Jan 13. Our stories are very similar. Yay for a lifetime plan!
Your website has been super helpful, with all your recipes and THM knowledge thank you for all you do!!
I started thm after I had
My daughter. IT works great! I am pregnant with my 3rd and final baby. HAvent been 100% like i should but hoping to get started again soon! This giveaway would help a lot!
I would love to win. I really need these products!
I love the lifestyle and all the recipes shared. Most everyone supports each other!
I really need motivation to stay on plan. Everyone knows how life can be — it gets in the way. I love coming to your blog; I get energized to do the right things!
I’m new to THM & tracking your journey has been so very helpful! Hugs!
My journey started in my 30’s when I just wanted to be healthier and stronger!
Still learning, but enjoying food freedom!
6 months-30 lbs!!!
I have also discovered I am a stubborn turtle loser ☹️
My journey has been enjoyable living THM, I just wish I would lose faster like so many others I see.
I started learning about THM right before my husband had an unexpected surgery. I have been separating fuels and learning about THM. I have blood glucose issues; even with my limited knowledge, I have been able to improve my numbers! I have food allergies, so that increases the learning curve. Looking forward to being closer to 100% on plan. Thanks so much for this opportunity.
I love THM! Thank you for lots of great recipes and this awesome giveaway!
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us! We started THM in late Feb of 2016. I’ve lost 65 pounds so far (another 20-30 to go!) and my husband lost lost 70.
I’m allergic to Stevia and would love to see more recipes using sweeteners other than Stevia. I found a Monk Fruit and erythritol blend that I love made by Lakanto. It measures like sugar and so throws of ratios when baking sometimes, but we make it work. 🙂
This way of life is so easy once I wrapped my mind around it. I feel like I have control of myself now and the word no isn’t bad. The word no is powerful!
Love all your rerecipes and tips! THM has helped me get rid of debilitating migraines and shed over 80 pounds. Love this lifestyle!
I’ve tried before unsuccessfully… trying to get on plan again.
I heard about THM before the first book was published, but didn’t actually begin until I saw my friend having success with it, almost 2 years ago now. I did quite well for the first 8 months, and things have stalled since then. I haven’t lost any more, but haven’t gained it back, either. A friend and I just finished leading a THM study group at church, and I’m looking forward to implementing some of the ideas I learned while studying with the group to see if I can continue moving towards a healthier weight.
I have been trying and working at THM for about 6 months now. I don’t have a lot of support at home. Hubs started with me then he stopped. So now I just do a little at a time. I really don’t need to lose weight but I do want to lose inches and get healthier. And even though I do want that, like most women I really struggle with body image and eating. I know what I need to do but whenever I eat I hate that I didn’t make the right choice. It all strwsses me out. I don’t have the food freedom yet. I’ll continue to pluck along and do the best I can and hope and pray that I get to the freedom that all the THM finds. I will continue to use blogs like yours and the many others that I follow. Thank you for sharing all that you have learned with the world!
I am starting over and on a very low budget, Could really use the products.
I have autoimmune disorders that are much better on THM. Sugar really increases my inflammation levels.
My husband and I are THM newbies, thanks for the encouraging words.
I’m just starting out and loving it! Finding blogs like your is so helpful and encouraging!
Thank you so much for all you do!!
Love your recipes!
Thank you for all the tips! And the giveaway! My THM journey ~ I have run hot & cold with it for a few years, around extended family problems, aging parents, homeschooling, etc., but, now just went through sugar detox again, yuck, and am rereading the books, and any articles of encouragement I can! I know it works and it makes the most sense of anything I’ve ever seen, and that’s been a lot! 🙁
My THM journey started in April/May 2013. I was doing great and lost 20 lbs. 😀 Then we built a house. I gained all the weight back, and I’ve struggled to stay in consistently enough to lose weight. I seem to lose the same 5-7 lbs. over and over. I stick to it 70-90% of the time because I know it works. I have MS, and I’m hypothyroid. This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me in 12 years. I’m trying to switch my fuels up more and better. I’ve tried a few new recipes from the membership site and from the cookbook. I’m also going to try to get GGMS incorporated a little and see if that helps the scales to start moving again. I love this diet because weight loss or not, it is so good for my health and my blood works proves it! 🙂 Your giveaway is awesome, and the lucky winner will be very blessed!
I just started THM recently and I already have seen some results. It is hard with all the components to buy to really get started and I have had to substitute and compromise a lot, but I believe it will be worth it in n the end.
I started THM in January of this year. Fell in love with the concept and the recipes. Down 8 pounds with 40 more to go. Love your website!
Hello. I have been doing THM for a couple of years. Your blog/recipes are a wonderful help to keep me on plan.
I am just starting THM, since my mom’s death this year I have put on 20 lbs . . so uncomfortable but this seems to really work in a common sense way. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh I’d love to try their products. I follow the book but have just bought things locally.
Starting over for the third time and learning each time to give myself plenty of grace.
I’ve been doing thm off and on since November 2016. In the last month I’ve started fresh and am fully committed and on plan 100%.
Thanks for the hints
I’m a turtle’s turtle. Almost two years on plan (pretty much 85% during that time with a few cheats here and there), but no loss to really show for it. However, I FEEL so much better on plan. I didn’t feel a difference for a long time whether I ate on or off plan. Now, though, I feel horrible, can’t sleep, and have no energy when I go off. So, plan it is for me!!! 😀
Love all your recipes and tips! Back to doing THM and cooking healthier for the whole family.
I feel so much better when I consistently do THM. I just have to learn to plan/prep ahead of time. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes with us! This Texas girl appreciates them.
I have been on THM for almost a year. I lost 20 lbs (my goal weight), but I gained 5 lbs back since then. I have been getting pretty lenient since a long distance move. Time to tighten back up! Thanks for all the great recipes!
I have been doing the ketogenic diet (S meals only) for a while now & I’m thinking about doing THM. I have the book & I’m really interested in seeing if incorporating E meals will help me lose weight. Thank you for all your helpful recipes & encouragement. Do you have a before & after pic?
Thank you so so much for doing this giveaway! I know someone will be blessed by receiving it!! I have lost 30 lbs. following THM. I have kind of fallen off the wagon these last couple weeks and have gained a few back. I do not want to continue that path, and am starting over (again ).
I love all of your tips!
Thank you! Been through a rough patch, but I’m trying to get back on track. This was very helpful.
I too have been off and on and off and on. The kitchen is my least favorite room in the house and cooking/preparing food is not my passion. I am as drive through Sue as u can get. I’d much rather just grab and go and move on to other things. But I feel that THM is more than just losing weight, but also just all around good for you and I try hard to stick to it as much as possible, but I get soo tired sometimes of all the prep/cooking. I need my own personal chef….lol. But since that can’t happen I trudge along and do the best I can and try not to beat myself up on the days I just can’t bring myself to do it. That giveaway would be a huge blessing….anything to make the job of preparing/cooking easier I welcome! Lol! All of u guys are inspiring and I love to see/read testimonies. Thanks all!
I would love to win these. Thanks for the giveaways and all your wonderful recipes and support.
I just found local source for THM and will be getting it soon. I really need to lose more weight to get off the diabetic medication.
I’m just starting on my THM journey so this giveaway would be a blessing to win. Thank you for putting the links together for tips as they are needed. Love your Facebook page and your blog especially your recipes. We have loved all the ones we’ve tried. Keep up the great work. 🙂
I have done THM for 4 years now and (mostly) maintained my 40 lb weight loss throughout.
I have been struggling with starting on plan lately. I feel so much better when on plan though.
Great article thanks!
I’ve been trying THM for awhile, without much success. I’m inspired by all the success stories I see, but most weeks I’m only able to stick to the plan about 70%. It has helped me give up sugar and make better food choices in general, but I would love to lose some lbs and inches.
I’ve been on THM about 10 months and lost a little over 50 pounds so far. It really is a way of life for me and I don’t ever see myself going back to the sugar-addicted food bondage I lived in before THM!
Learned about THM years ago….
Want to try…..but I give up too easily. I will try again!!
I have done THM off and on for three and a half years. I have recently restarted and love feeling better and having more energy. I have remade lots of recipes to fit THM and love that I have a whole new way to cook and bake.
This post is a wonderful source of information! I’ve been mostly on plan for almost 2 years. THM works!
All my favorites! Pick me!
So helpful. Thanks!!
4 weeks in, 10 lbs down…loving it! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this plan and tell everyone about it! Love your help in this journey.
I WAS ON PLAn just over a year and through my 6th pregnancy and did do well and felt great. But in December I had to have my thyroid removed and I have really slipped from this lifestyle and I am struggling to get back to it. Thank you for the encouragement, words of wisdom and opportunity to win. I’m going to go dust off my book and start reading it again and get this started again!
I’ve been struggling a lot recently and need a kick to stay on plan!
My daughter introduced me to THM a few years ago and I have the first book. I read it but didn’t really do much with for awhile. I’ve started to get serious about it but find that things keep tripping me up (mainly my sweet tooth). I have printed many, many recipes published by the unofficial bloggers group. Because it’s just my husband and me it takes awhile to try things and get them tweaked, but I’m determined to keep plugging along.
i’m only beginning my journey & the counting & categorizing seem overwhelming, but i can see the sense in it.
Still trying to get fully on plan, but life keeps throwing curves. Own the old book and the cookbook. Looking forward to trying some of the special effects ingredients. Honestly my biggest struggle is planning meals.
Love the THM products especially Gentle Sweet and the skin care. And I also love the super creativity of the bloggers like Mrs. Criddle that provide such amazing THM style nummy stuff. If only she had a restaurant nearby. 🙂
I’m just starting and so appreciate all the encouragement and wisdom shared.
I always feel good when I am on plan but can be hard with so many allergies!
I love your recipes, variety is the key and I am glad I can find sites like yours for that variety.
I fell off the THM wagon for a little while there, and working on starting over.
I’m trying to make this my lifestyle, but I’m not quite there yet. You are one of my inspirations! Thank you!
I am so thankful for THM bloggers like you! Would love to use all these products!
Im so excited! I super struggle with commuting to THM, but more so because I’m lazy, not because it’s difficult. I would do amazing if someone would just cook for me! Send help……..
Committing**
Excited for the giveaway! Needing some collagen. <3
Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been doing THM for 2 1/2 years and loving it! Can’t wait to go through all of the great resources you’ve posted about
Not where I want to be but thankful I am not where I used to be. Bogged down in major sickness right now. Counting the weeks until school is out so I can truly focus on me for the summer and fall. Thanks so much for your generosity~~
I started THM in July was doing good even through the holidays. Lost 32 lbs. Then I got the flu and pnemonia and put on steroids. Made me eat lots and most was not on plan. Going to get back on track and stay there!
I love that you get right back on in 3 hours with your next meal. And then you remember how good it feels to be on plan!
Thank you for all of your tips, hints, and recipes!
So excited for tips and a chance at supplies to help me!
I started THM 3 1/2 years ago. Love eating this way. I feel so much better.
I bought the original THM book in November 2013, but was pregnant at the time and I used that as an excuse not to start. 😉 I actually didn’t start until June 2015. I lost 90 lbs over the next year and a half. I’ve been struggling to stay on plan since Thanksgiving and gained back a few pounds this winter. I just found out last weekend that I’m pregnant, so I really do need to get back on plan! I didn’t quite make it to my goal weight, but out of six pregnancies (#4 ended in miscarriage), this is the lowest weight that I’ve started a pregnancy at! After trying so many different diets and plans over the past 20 years, this is the only one that I’ve actually stuck with and can continue the rest of my life!
Busy full-time job and there is a learning curve to changing eating habits. I love cooking/baking, but not enough time and energy to play in the kitchen as much as I would like. Taking it one day at a time.
Awesome suggestions- thank you!! And thanks for the giveaway! *crossing my fingers*
Thanks for the encouragement! I’ve been following thm for two years and I love it!
Great giveaway.
Thanks for the chance! ☺ my mom, sister, best friend and I are all THMers, although I must admit to slacking off while moving and having baby #4 Really need to build up a stash and get back to it! It works!!
Thank you for sharing so much of your time helping others through recipes, suggestions etc.
What a great giveaway! I am going to begin THM on March 21 and have enjoyed creeping on all of you and your sorts to success! I am excited to begin this new journey and anticipate being a turtle since I am close to 60!
Started THM in January and I’m down 20lbs!!! Love this soooo much!
You are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your journey ♡
I always feel my best when I THM! Have been restarting the past two weeks ❤
I have been on THM for almost a year and my husband & I have both lost 40 lbs. each. We both feel great!
I am just starting on my journey with THM, can’t wait!!!
I began my THM journey 5 weeks ago. After 10 years of struggling with increasing weight gain and health problems (thyroid, autoimmune, and all that comes with it), I am FINALLY losing weight & inches, and becoming more like the self I thought was lost forever.
Love the way you have posts on just what I seem to need…
I have been on THM for 2 years now. I reached my goal weight and have stayed there +/- 5 lbs , until we moved cross country and things went haywire. But back on plan now and on a fuel cycle to kick things off. Feels good to be back.
I have been back and forth on THM for a year now. Injuries and depression have caused me to go off plan at times. This is an amazing giveaway.
LOVE THM! I have been following it for 2 1/2 years…. I stalled for a little while beacuse I was being “LAZY”. Got back on board & here we go again!!
Thank you so much for your give away! I found THM 2 1/2 years ago as I was looking for a way to heal my digestive system nutritionally. I started the plan 100% about 6months after that (Feb 2015). I lost 26 lbs & over 18 inches in 6 months time & never felt better in my life. I started having health issues that led me to faltering & I’ve not been 100% on plan for a year now. I’ve gained all of it back. So I’m here, getting back on with great determination to take my health & life back! I love this plan & know the Lord led me to it! Blessings on your return as well!
I love everything aboutTHM! THE GIRLS ARE WONDERFUL AND SO SMART! 🙂
Thank you for the Helpful Tips!
I love THM. I got serious about following the plan June 2016. Lost 20 lbs in about 5 months. Then stalled. Then disappointed and didn’t follow 100% and gained back 5 lbs
I’m not giving up.
I’m just a month into this new lifestyle, but I’m loving Trim Healthy Mama! Thank you for all your wonderful tips and links; it is a HUGE help!
I’m loving THM! Thanks for your tips & recipes.
Been on THM off and on for about 4 years. Due to hubby’s recent health scare with type II diabetes, I’m going to really concentrate more energy on staying on plan and finding tasty options for a guy that LOVES his food.
🙂
Your blog is always an inspiration and great resource for new ideas for recipes.
Thanks so much!
I began my THM journey on January 2, 2017. I am 22lbs down and more than 16″ total. I have experienced numerous NSVs that keep me motivated. THM is amazing!
What an encouragement you are – thank you! Your recipes are lovely, as well – wonderful and inspirational ideas. Love the THM products, thank you for promoting them in your very generous give-away, would love to have them all!
I have filled thm on fb for awhile. Just started actually doing thm on January 1 though. Lost 25 pounds so far. This week I’ve been way off plan though.gotta get my head back in the game!
I did THM a f couple of years ago and did so well. Now, due to life just happening and allowing old habits to creep in, I am back at square one. Ugh! I am determined to get back on track. Thanks for the encouragement!
I would love to win this. I just had my fourth baby and am needing to get a fresh start with THM to lose the baby weight. And my dear husband (who is both a picky eater and a chocoholic) has finally decided to give up sugar and give THM a try too. Having these products would be a GREAT help for me to introduce him to all the recipes and flavors of healthy living.
I love your site! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!
This would be wonderful! Thanks for the chance (and all the tasty recipes!)
Thank you so much for all of the tips! Love THM!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I am just starting our (my husband said he will do it with me) journey and have nothing! So this would be amazing!
I have been on thm since January 2016. I lost 65 pounds and then stalled. I’ve been stalled since July and am getting very discouraged. I am going to read through these tips and hope they help! Thank you!
Thanks for your blog! I have a similar story as you-trying to get back on track after baby #3.
I just started doing THM this week. I am feeling great! I can’t wait to see how I feel after months of being on it.
I really know this plan makes me feel the best I can. I do slip up but try to get right back on plan. The weight stays on but I’m doing my best to stick with what I know is good. I so enjoy reading of others victories and progress!! Yay for each of them!
Thanks for all the helpful info!
I have been following THM for almost 2 years now (and your wedsite!) granted not on plan those entire 2 years. Why do I fall off the wagon so easily when I know I feel so much better on plan?!? I am on plan about 80% of the time now. Lent has really helped me, I gave up all sugar and haven’t had a pop since January 1. So, even though I am not where I would like to be weight wise, I feel better and maybe look a little better too! Thanks for all you do for the THM community!
I’m about 2 months in. I feel so in control, it’s great.
Started August of 2015 and quickly lost about 20 lbs. But have gained back 10 and am desperately trying not to gain anymore! Love the giveaway-Every little bit helps!
Well, I have been trying to follow the basics. It’s difficult to break old habits, but I keep trying. It helps to read about other ladies’ journeys and results.
THM is a great lifestyle! I love to eat this way and feel so much better! Thanks for all you do to help on this journey!
So generous! Thank you for the opportunity to be entered!
So thankful for your blog! It is always so encouraging.
I’m just getting started with THM, I’m still learning the ropes lol!
Always love giveaways! Been a THMer since 2014. Down and maintaining a 40lb. loss. Your recipes rock!
I love the THM lifestyle. Going on 7 weeks and down 12 pounds!
I remember when I first read about thm, I had such a feeling of hope.
So thankful for the energy the THM life provides! As a mom of many, I need it!!!!
Just getting started on THM. I’ve found a couple of recipes that the family likes.
Still learning, and trying new things. Thanks for your continual help and input for those of us still learning.
I have been dabbling in THM for several months now, but just getting serious in the last month now. And by getting serious, I’m on plan maybe 70% of the time. I’m definitely a work in progress.
I absolutely love all the creative recipes I see on your blog and others. I’m hoping to absorb some of that creativity myself. I’m in the process of starting a blog, and I plan to include THM among other things, all centered around doing life with God.
I’m waaayyy out of my comfort zone, so any prayers would be appreciated! Thanks for the tips and the raffle!
Just starting! Thank you for your help!!!
I’ve been on thm almost 3 years. Restart this past December 31. I do love the program, it is very doable. Thanks for your post.
I started THM with my husband and youngest son at the end of January. We love it and are so thankful!! A sweet friend of mine who has been desperately struggling with her weight is just starting her THM journey and it is for her that I’m entering the give away. I would love to bless her with these products to get her started!!
Thank you so much for your recipes and encouragment! Your shepherds pie has became a regular in our meal rotation.
Hi Sarah,
I love your tips on Ways To Create Cheap THM Meals. I’m a homeschooling Mom of 5 and love to find ways to save and eat healthy for my family! Thanks for the Fabulous giveaway also!
I started my journey 3 years ago. I was doing it consistantly this ast year, and realised how yukky I feel. So starting in January I am doing THM. i am feeling better. Thank you for all your tips and encouragement. This would be an amazing way to get started!
I’m just starting again. I am losing slowly but this is not a race it is a lifestyle. I enjoy your recipes and thank you for the giveaway!
Thank you so much for this post! I’m just getting started on my THM journey. These links will definitely be helpful. Excited to see where my THM journey will lead me. Thanks again for the post (and giveaway)!
I have been doing THM off and on for 14 months. Many of my friends have had amazing success with it. When I follow it strictly, I see some success on the scale — primarily, though, I FEEL better. Definitely am due for a re-boot :).
I eat THM because of the nutrition and the skin benefits, and I see results every day!
I am pregnant with my 7th right now and have fallen off the wagon with a lot left to lose. I’m due in September and want to try to gain as the as possible! I need elp getting back on the wagon! Thanks for all of your awesome recipes!
Thank you for being so generous with information AND a giveaway!
I have been on the Trim Healthy Mama journey for just over a year and boy what a difference it has made! 65 pounds lost, but I have gained so much knowledge about myself. It is a life changing journey that I am ever so thankful for!
I’ve folllowed your FB page for THM recipes & tips for several years. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful recipes & posts!
I’ve been doing my toes in for a while now. I need these tips to get myself and my family fully on board! Thank you!!!
I would love to start THM and these wonderful products would be the perfect starter package!❤️
I have been doing THM for about 4 years and still loving it. Thanks so much for all your great recipes and for doing this contest.
Love the THM plan. I started strong in January and need some commitment. 🙂 But I have been making THM recipes in the meantime, they are just so yummy!
I did THM after my 5th child was born when I was struggling to lose weight. I lost most of what I wanted to lose when I found I was pregnant again. I didn’t stay on plan and almost two years later I’ve struggled to lose pregnancy weight, let alone keep from adding more. I am three days back on plan and am determined to stay on it this time after repenting of some gluttonous ways.
Thanks
Hi Sarah, I love your blog and reading Ways To Create Cheap THM Meals by Mrs. Criddle’s Kitchen! I amd a full time homeschooling Mom of 5 and saving money is very important! Thank you for the giveaway and your awesome tips!

I started THM about a year ago but let stress get the better of me. I’m ready to get down to business. Thank you for this giveaway. Love it!!
In July of 2016 I was told I had type 2 diabetes, A1C levels where 6.9
I started THM with just the basic thing needed, giving up sugar, breads & milk (my go to favorite cold drink).
Eating healthy, taking 10 different natural supplements for PCOS & Zumba too!
As of today my A1C levels are 4.5 & I have lost 40+ lbs.
Finding THM and this site have been great help in my daily struggle.
Thank You.
I have been doing THM for 4 years. I did great in the beginning and hit goal weight. During that first year I lost my mom and did not very well sticking to THM. I did put some of that weight back on and have struggled to get back on track. I was doing lots of cheating. Right now I am working on on cheats and have done it for almost two weeks now.
I have been doing THM for 18 months. I lost 20 lbs and have maintained for alost a year. I would like to lose some more, but am happy with where I’m at. Thanks for doing the giveaway, for your tips and recipes!
I am also getting back on plan. Thanks for your encouraging words.
Inches, gone – pounds, gone – but most of all, healthier than ever at 62 & 65 (MR)
I am just starting out with THM, thank you for sharing all those links!
This page will have to be one I bookmark for sure!
I am excited to be starting a healthy lifestyle with THM (bonus, my hubby is starting as well).
Thank you for the giveaway! Love your recipes.
My journey goes well, then goes South. I am determined to stay on track! The sisters are amazing!
I’ve been off THM for several months now. Totally regretting it, but it’s been hard to stay on with a traveling husband and three teens who are constantly on the go. I’m committing with my husband, who is diagnosed with RA, tomorrow. We will be beginning the fuel cycle. We are ready!
Working on Revamping my pantry to help me maintain this journey.
I have been on THM for about 19 months. I agree with you, it’s easy to go back to when you fall of (or get run over by) the wagon. I am down 30 pounds and untold inches. I am in a size 6-8 and basically in maintenance mode. I’m still losing inches but no weight for months now, which is really fine with me. I’m 47 years old and it’s the first time in my life I am comfortable in my own skin and like my body.
Thank you for all you do! Your recipes are amazing!
I have the book and cookbook, I’ve made quite a few of your recipes and others, and I try to avoid sugar on most days. I need to get serious!
I’m just getting started on my THM journey but I’m super excited! I have family that has started so we are doing it together. Can’t wait to see how this life change will do with my health. I would love to win the giveaway to jump start me inot my journey.
I’m struggling trying to figure it all out. Thanks
I have been eating THM for 3 or 4 years now. I have struggled through pregnancies and thyroid issue. I tend to have a hard time staying 100% on plan but I feel so much better when I do. I love so much about it.
I’ve been on THM since August 2016. I’ve lost 60 lbs. I’m at a stall right now but find that the THM way of eating keeps me satisfied so I’m doing my best to stick with it.
I love your site and all your yummy recipes and great tips! Thanks for the giveaway!
My journey has been a roller coaster. I keep picking myself back up to get back on track.
I have been on and off plan for over two years. Now I gave up cheats for Lent so maybe I’ll finally get into this full time.
Love your recipes!!
I’ve been on plan for a month now, and would love to try these products. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Your cowboy cookies and pumpkin cream cake are 2 of the 3 treat recipes I make regularly. Thanks for the intro to some new blogs, too!
I’m just starting THM….I’m excited and overwhelmed at the same time! I’m sure when I finish reading the plan book it will make more sense.
THM is awesome! It simplifies life in a way that I have my go to’s ready and I can batch cook for easy meal planning. Any way to make life easier is essential when you have 4 kids to wrangle 😉 Especially when the youngest two are a toddler and newborn! I am new to the plan, and am substituting a lot of the ingredients or making my own. Pinterest is a life saver for new recipes!
Thank you for sharing! It helps me stay on plan!
I started THM last year to lose weight and help my hormones to balance out to hopefully prepare my body for another pregnancy.
Love THM! Thank you for the tips and recipes. So helpful to me as grasping the meals has not come easy to me.
I’ve been dabbling in THM since mid-January. Struggling with craving sweets, but otherwise we are loving the food! Some days are easier than others. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your fabulous recipes! I am finding more healthy options and feel so much better without sugar in my life.
Oh I am so thrilled to be finally getting serious about THM since finding out about it in the fall of 2015. I have the first version of their book as well as their new plan book and cookbook…I just got the workins set in the mail yesterday as my 54th birthday gift from my husband. I have made several feeble attempts at doing thm but I am determined to do this….and you Mrs. Criddle will be a big help to me. Thank You so very much for your time with your busy schedule!! Blessings, Kathy
I have done thm for about a year and have lost about 35 pounds. I need to get out my book and reread because while I’m feeling pretty good, I’d be happy to lose another 15 or so! I’m so happy to have found something that helps me be healthy and lose weight yet still be able to treat myself!
I am new to this whole THM thing, after struggling with my weight and overall physical and mental health for over 10 years. I’ve tried many different plans but despite my hopes and effort, nothing has ever worked or seemed sustainable long term. But now I am learning so much about my body and food and for the first time I am able to give myself grace and be patient with myself while I figure out how to do this the right way. I am prepared for this to be my new lifestyle! 🙂
I have been following THM since Mother’s Day this past year. I have lost roughly 30 pounds and when I follow it closely I feel great. I have lessened my amount of migraines and joint pain. I truly believe it’s from the THM lifestyle 🙂 I love you’re recipes and reading you’re posts on FB!!
I’ve followed thm for about 15 months, but hit a stall around 9 months. I kn I will it’s because I’ve allowed too many cheats, so it’s time for a fresh start. Just 12 pounds to my goal…I KNOW thm works, I just have to do it!
Thank you for all your helpful tips. Your recipes have helped a lot.
I’ve also fallen off the THM wagon and need to get back on which is why I’m reading over various THM blogs this weekend and making a menu and shopping list. Thanks for the encouragement!
Hello! Your blog is so helpful & thank your all you do to help others succeed at THM.
Thanks for the motivation to get back on plan. I’ve become a bit lax with the plan and my clothes are starting to get tight again. Time to go back to the basics
I’ve been on for over 6 months. Kind of stuck right now but still chuggin along.
I love the idea of this plan, but have trouble sticking to it. I think breakfast and lunch are hardest for me. Shakes don’t fill me up and I struggle with lunches too.
Just restarting THM. I feel so much better when I’m on plan and have lost 70 pounds. Love your blog, thank you!
Great giveaway!!
This is amazing! It’s so encouraging to know you’ve had your own THM ups and downs, just like I do. Thank you for your honesty!!
Learning day by day that a Trim healthy Mama is a trim happy mama
Thank you for the post and the giveaway. I’m just getting started.
Hi, my friend from Slovakia told me about THM two years ago. I love this healthy style!
I have the original big book and the newer cookbook. I struggle with trying to have menu’s that the whole family will eat, and staying within out budget doing so.
I absolutely love THM. I have allowed myself to get off track and as a result I am now feeling tired and cranky. I am startan to preprep again and getting some food into the freezer for easy grab lunches. Thanks for your encouragement!
In my third year of THM. I originally lost 36 pounds. Now getting back down after my 1st THM pregnancy.
I have been following a THM diet (sometimes not as strictly as might be best for me) for 3.5 years. It is awesome!
I’ve just recommitted to THM a few days ago! I already feel so.much.better. than before.
My journey is just starting.
I am inspired by your testimonies and recipes! Studying and planning to begin this journey.
I’m glad to hear you’re human and mess up like the rest of us. I keep restarting. I know it works if I’m faithful to the plan. Thanks for being so open.
I’ve been on THM for almost 2 yrs. I’ve lost 30lbs and now in a stall that’s lasted a long time. I guess I’m a turtle? I have 20 more lbs to meet my goal.
My THM journey as been an up and down around the bend and back again. I need a fresh start. Thank you for the encouragement.
THM makes me feel great!
I am just starting my THM journey. I purchased the books in November. but was too busy to really commit. I began THM last week and came across Your blog via Pinterest. Your blog posts and recipes are an amazing help. Thank You Thank You! 🙂
My THM journey began in July of 2014. I’d tried just about everything else out there with little to no success. When there was a shrapnel of weight loss, it was very short lived. As soon as I would try and maintain that loss, I’d ALWAYS gain the weight back (along with a few extra pounds to boot)!
Through a lot of trial and error and giving myself lots of grace I’d lost a total of 53 pounds and was able to maintain that weight for 2 years pretty solid. However, I recently have gone through a really rough season in my life and eventually was totally off plan… other than my GGMS! That’s one thing I haven’t stopped and can honestly say that it’s been almost 3 years since I’ve had soda pop!!
Thank you for posting on this subject because I’ve tried to get my head back in the game so to speak and it’s been hard! I think this post along with all the links to other tips to getting back on track!
I love thm! I’m trying to get back on track. Thanks for all the tips.
I fell off the wagon, mainly because I felt like I couldn’t afford cooking THM. But now I feel so miserable that I know I can’t afford NOT to!
I was introduced to THM about 2 years ago. My journey has been a lot of ups and downs. I’m hoping to restart and stick with it this time. It’s hard sometimes with homeschooling 4 kids from 2nd to 9th grade.
I love THM products. I use them occasionally for healthy substitutes as needed, like the peanut flour and the sweeteners. Definitely interested in trying more products! Thanks for this amazing giveaway!
Re-started last week.
Hope to stick with it this time.
I haven’t actually started my journey, but I’m almost finished with the book. It’s taken me a LONG time. I think probably because once I finish I have no excuse not to start and change scares me a little. I really want to do this though and I think I’m already thinking differently and trying to eat more whole foods and steer clear of processed food more. I am a work in progress.
This is a great article… Thank you so much for putting it all together!… I have been dabbling in THM for 2 years and have lost 30+ pounds… Need to get better at not mixing fuels…
Just started THM 3 weeks ago and have lost 7 pounds so far. I am completely inspired by all the wonderful people who take the time to share their successes, tips, and recipes as well as their struggles. It is extremely helpful knowing that I am not alone on this journey to be a trim and healthy mama. Thank you for the generous giveaway, and more importantly, for sharing your experiences!
Currently sticking my toes into THM. Trying to figure out how to make it work, money wise, for our family. Stalking FB pages, etc!
I did THM a couple years a go and did fairly well.
Loved the recipes!! 🙂 Been trying plant based lately.
I’ve been doing thm off and on for several years now. I’ve had success every time but always had trouble getting my husband on board and became discouraged. This time he’s finally given it a chance and that helps so much!!
THM has jump started my weight loss stall due to menopause.
Been “on plan” for over a year and a half now and still loving it! First THM cake I tried was your chocolate cherry trifle. Delicious! Keep the recipes coming.
Just started last month and only 30% on plan, but hoping to do better.
For me, the toughest part is cooking for the family. I have ages 1 up to 16 and we’ve got our routine set. It’s tough to redefine and start over when all of my old tries and true recipes are off plan. THM is more spendy as well….trying to strike a balance with spending vs health.
Thanks for all the resources!
And, I’m not on FB but looked at your page just now. You can poach eggs in the microwave?! Mind blown! Can’t wait until morning to give that a try!
I’ve definitely slacked lately, but hope to start fresh at my next meal!
I am juat getting started and so neeed this! Thankful at the supportive community of THM.
When I read the THM plan, it made so much sense to me. Sometimes the execution is hard but it is a great plan!
OH MY LANTA….I committed to “restart” and to be completely on plan with a start day of TODAY. Menus made, groceries bought…only I was missing a few items needed. Then to go onto Facebook and see this giveaway….it was meant to be. Love your blog, your recipes and your enthusiasm.
Thank you for your willingness to share these items.
best luck to all.
I am still in the beginning stages. I know it works, but I have struggled to get going! 🙂 I feel SO much better with a sugar free plan!
Love THM. I always feel better when I’m on plan.
Excited about starting the THM program, and changing the way I eat for the rest of my life!! Already feeling great!
Thanks for the chance to win these awesome products.
I started THM in 2013 also. It changed my life. We enjoy good food and look and feel great!
Such a great blog post & giveaway!!! Your tips are awesome & thanks for linking those other posts too! I. Red the reminder!!
Great giveaway! Thank you!
I love many of your recipes…
I have just started my THM journey but I’ve been creeping a researching for weeks now!
On plan almost three years and loving it!
Fantastic article. Simple, but helpful.
Just starting my journey!
I have been following THM for about 2 years. I have also had my set backs and restarts. Currently I am trying to get back to 100% on plan. Your blog is such a great inspiration, and the recipes are soooo yummy! Thanks for sharing your journey!
I’m new to THM. Thanks for sharing your story and for the giveaway.
Very exciting!!!
I have lost 20 pounds on THM and would love to lose 20-30 more! Thank you for this VERY generous giveaway!
I love your blog and really look forward to your posts. I feel so much better whenever I stay on track with THM!
I lost 40 lbs over about 5 months while nursing my twin boys. I’ve stopped nursing and gone through some tough stuff and gained back all but 10 lbs of it. I haven’t figured out how to stick with it anymore.
I havent been 100% on plan yet but I love what I’ve been able to incorporate!
Thank you
I feel a lot better when I eat on plan. I need to be more faithful to it!
Great giveaway, thanks!
I’ve been on THM for over 2yrs and have lost 60lbs.
I love that THM isn’t another diet, but it’s truly a life style.
Have not completely dove in yet but am slowly making changes for me and my family. Do not have weight to lose but just want to be healthier over all! Thank you for the tips and encouragement.
Hello there, I started this THM journey beginning of this year and it’s been a bumpy road, went off plan for a couple weeks and felt awful but got back on and trying my best to keep this lifestyle strong. Learning as I’m going and thanking you for your tips as it helps a lot. Thanks!
Just starting my THM journey and love all the pointers and tips!
Thank you for all the amazing recipes and the great support!
i read the first book (borrowed from the library and then purchased my own copy) 2 summers ago. That first summer my daughter was diagnosed with T1D and THM came in very timely with the meals S and E. It has helped me loose those stubborn pounds!
Over 4 years on THM and going strong!
I started THM back in October. I’ve lost almost 20 pounds and love the plan! Thanks for these good tips and ideas!
Just trying to get started!
My journey has been kind of rocky. I get a lot of momentum, lose a few pounds, and then backslide. But I keep trying and use your great recipes!
I learned about THM during my last pregnancy in which I had gestational diabetes. I’ve been implementing the S and E philosophy but would really like to be 100% eating THM this year. The books, Facebook page , and blogs are so helpful! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your experience and all the links to others. I needed some encouragement today. Love your recipes!
Thanks for sharing your experience and all the links to others. Love your recipes!
Thank you!
What a lovely giveaway!!! Your recipes are TOPS!!!!!
Prepping is the most important game changer with sticking with the plan. If I do not plan, I fail. But I love that 3 hours later I get right back on plan, and don’t kick myself if I mess up.
I started THM during my pregnancy with my 6th baby, who I almost 1 month old now. I am now dairy free due to my nutsing baby’s needs have learned so much and still have a ways to go. Thanks for the tips!
Just yesterday I am slowly starting over. I will probably fail but I will pick myself up and keep going.
I just started my THM journey last week. I absolutely LOVE it!! I bought the plan book and the cook book and love, love them! I am excited to see where this takes me-hopefully some hormonal healing, some weight loss, and the ability to help others with their weight loss/healthy living journey.
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!!
I am so excited! Would love a whole set like that.
I’ve been on THM for a year now and have lost 87 lbs! I am now in maintenance and have never been healthier or happier.
I feel so much better when I eat the THM way. Would love to win this.
I am new to THM
Been doing THM a loooooong time! But have really been stalled with menopause. Tried Stubborn Losers even to no avail. I would like to see more things about post-menopause and its effects on weight loss from the sisters.
It’s slow going. I never realized how much of a drive through Sue I was until I started. I love quick and easy.
Just started THM after a prolonged auto-immune illness and nearly a year on steroids…. weight gain and grumpiness have been my daily companions. I am slowly but surely collecting THM staples to help me get going and this giveaway would help out tremendously. Love your blog posts btw!!
I am nearing my one year Trimmiversery. I am pre-diabetic with a strong diabetic family history. I was able to lose my 25 pounds quickly and entered maintenance mode about 6 months in. However I have found that I am too loosely following as of late. The weight and inches are slow to return but too much off plan eating eventually catches you. I have been able to stay off of diabetes medication and I have reached what I feel is my healthy body size. I am very thankful to you Sarah and all of the wonderful bloggers. You help us more than we can express. The biggest thing that has surprised me is how many women we.meet daily who are prime candidates for THM!
I have been soing THM for several months now and I love it! I have been trying to get my sister into it and would love to be able to gift her with this “starter” pack!
I am a baby to THM, just learning and reading through the plan book. I just had my 4th baby boy in January, and both my husband and I are looking for a healthy, realistic eating lifestyle. My sister introduced the THM concept, and so I am slowly learning.
Thank you for the reminders! It’s nice to know even the pro’s get derailed at times!
I have been on THM for 3 yrs today! Im so excited about this giveaway. Ive never purchased their products. Ive had my ups & downs but love the plan.
So far my journey has been I got the book, following FB groups including yours. I’ve read about 5 chapters and an a bit confused and very thankful for this blog post!!!
I heard about THM about 3 years ago. I bought the first book and read it, but it took many months before starting because I couldn’t give up sugar and didn’t have the right motivation. After a while my husband started talking about needing to go on a diet, so I brought up THM to him. He agreed to try it. I bought many special ingredients, then started eating this way. I didn’t jump in fully, though. My husband liked what I cooked, and liked the desserts, but I got derailed for a few reasons. One, I was pregnant (and then breastfeeding) at that time, and I felt that my husband didn’t feel it was fair that I got to eat crossovers but he couldn’t. I also am horrible at meal planning, so I got tired of trying to think of things to cook on the spot that was on plan, and I wasn’t eating the snacks in between the meals. Two years ago I bought the new cookbook and plan book. I never prepped things to eat. My husband only ate if I made it and served it to him. On his own he wouldn’t make anything on plan. So…all that to say I know I need to jump back in because my husband and I are both overweight, have some health issues, and need energy to take care of our littles. I’m not pregnant or nursing anymore, so no more crossovers for me to tempt my husband. My husband says that when we did THM before, he felt healthier and had more energy. I just need to get serious with meal planning and meal prep.
I did thm 2 years ago and lost 30 lbs. I went off plan and gained it all back…
4 days so far, 100% on plan.
Started in 2016 after a mission trip to Kenya and I saw the pics of myself and was appalled. I lost and gained back. My husband and I live in a unique situation that makes it hard to stay on plan. We are caregivers for an elderly woman who wants to have potatoes, bread, and ice cream with meals. She insists on cooking 3 days a week to maintain some independence and I have little to say about what she cooks. My husband is no help either so I am on my own. I am struggling but am determined to change and by the grace of God I will succeed.
Love love love THM!! Been on it 14 mos & planning on being a lifer!
I am ready to restart my THM journey! Thanks for the great blog posts and giveaways.
I have been on THM for 2 1/2 years and have lost 60 pounds. I feel like I have been stalled for a year, but I know I got too comfortable and ate too many crossovers! I love the simplicity (one you get over being overwhelmed) of this plan! I find myself trying to mentally convert any recipe I see to THM! Love the plan and love your recipes too Sarah!
Trying to get started with THM – love your blog!!
I would love to win!! I use thm principles very loosely as a breastfeeding mom of 9, and it works!
Loved your story. One day at time.
Just started exploring THM – love this page!
Newby here… feeling a bit overwhelmed, so THANK you for all the tips and meal plans!
I’ve been struggling to stay on plan since I started September 13, 2014. I have just never actually been able to be completely consistent. Your blog post helped me so much today! I feel ready to start anew!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for offering this giveaway!! What a blessing it would be to anyone who wins!! 🙂
I have only been doing THM for about 6 months now. I have lost many inches around my waist and though I’m not where I desire to be, I have visible proof of making progress! I’m on a tight budget so, your give away is extremely attractive to me.
I am a THMer for life and I think I can stick to this plan better than anything else that I have tried up to this point.
Thank you for offering the giveaway!
Can’t believe I’ve been on the THM plan since 2013 as well. There are so many great foods and such an encouraging community. It’s the only plan on my 53 years of life that has ever really made sense and worked for the long haul! Thanks for shRing all of your practical tips!
I have been learning and practicing THM for a year now. I have almost lost 60 pounds. Still have 50 pounds to go. I feel better every day. Thanks for all your help.
I just started my THM journey Great giveaway!
THMer for 2 years! Love the food freedom and knowledge of how what I eat affects me.
I started around 8 weeks pregnant and while my weight gain has been more than I was hoping, I carry it better and don’t have the heartburn I always had in previous pregnancies (unless I go off plan ha) Hoping I’ll be able to drop the weight faster this time staying on THM also ^_^
I am currently trying to climb back on the wagon. With THM, my migraines and psoriasis go away, and I was able to bring my blood pressure down with a combination of THM and TTAPP. My middle kid was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the end of January, and I’ve been off plan and off exercise since then. I kind of feel like I’m drowning. I need to get back on plan so I can care for my family well. It just seems overwhelming.
I have been on THM for one week and love it and the recipes I have made. I would love to be entered in the giveaway.
