This morning my scale landed on the magic number…my goal weight! Celebrate with me!
The first thing you should know is that the November photo above is the *retouched* one that went on our cards this year. That just wasn’t good enough for me…I asked the photographer for the raw files, and here they are…in all of my glory. And just so you know, I had on spanks, and was holding my gut in like a champ for these.
Note to self: hiking buttocks into a tree branch does *not* make it appear smaller.
And here is another one…
Notice how the skirt is all jacked up around my hefty hindquarters in the before shot, and it’s literally dragging the ground in the after. Stretchy skirts are awesome.
Admittedly, my goal weight is just an arbitrary number that I really just pulled out of the air early on. I just gauged where I felt good when I was thinner, and when my clothes fit nicely. It arrived quietly, and I almost let it go by without mentioning it.
It felt kind of…awkward to say, “I’ve arrived!” when I just feel pretty normal. But then my friends fussed at me for not celebrating this accomplishment, and I decided that it may encourage some of you who are on your weight loss journey, as well as those who are working on restoring their health. So here I am.
Now that I’m *at* goal weight, I still see tweaks and toning that needs to happen, and more healing that needs to happen. But it will come with time as I keep plugging away at my overall health picture. And I’m VERY happy with being where I am physically.
Update: Several people have asked me how tall I am. I’m 5’7″, and I always weigh more than what people would think, because my upper half is on the small side, but I’ve got a naturally [very] muscular build under that stretchy skirt. I’m not that hung up on numbers, so I chose a goal weight that represented what I knew was a happy place for my own body and build. Oddly, the last time I was this weight, I wore a size larger than I do now. I’ll take it.
In the mean time, I’m DELIGHTED with the lifestyle changes that I’ve learned from Trim Healthy Mama, and I have no desire to stop living this way. Ever. It’s not even TEMPTING to go celebrate by cracking open a Dr. Pepper and gorging on cake & naughty ice cream. The me in November who was trying to roll out of her sweaty Spanx…the me that decided to wait until cookie and fudge season was over to start a new ‘diet’ would never have believed it. Spanx are not awesome, by the way.
I still almost don’t believe it! There are SO many things I could tell you about Trim Healthy Mama…
- how I get to enjoy PLENTY of healthy sweets
- how at about 3 weeks of (over) thinking foods, it ‘clicked’ and is SO easy now…like brainless easy
- how I no longer crave junk foods. ever. REALLY!!!
- how I get to eat foods multiple times a day that are NORMAL foods…I get to eat what sounds good to me!
- how THM has taught me to listen to my own body for what I need (energy or satiation) and has re-awakened ‘normal’ hunger and satiation signals that used to be SO screwed up.
- how I eat more often now, and WAY more food than I did when I was holed up in my Spanx. I’m SO not deprived in any way. Food is fulfilling, filling, and guilt free. I’m in a healthy relationship with it now!
- how much I enjoy all the awesome ladies over on the Facebook Trim Healthy Mama group!
- how I wake up without an alarm clock now when the sun comes up and am READY to get out of bed!
- how I have enjoyed fitting into cute clothes again
- how I can move around in my own skin without feeling short of breath, or cut in half by my jeans
- how I can run and play with my kids
- how food is no longer associated with guilt
- how my husband looks at me now
- how my son has lost 15 pounds and found how to control his own blood sugar with healthy foods
- how I cry when I’m happy and overwhelmed with gratitude
- how very, very, very grateful I am to Pearl and Serene for writing this book
But most of all, I want you to know, if I can do this, then YOU can too!
Want to know more about this awesome style of eating? Check out my Trim Healthy Mama book review here.
To celebrate today, I’d like to give away a copy of the book Trim Healthy Mama
I’d love this to go to someone who really needs it…if you own a book already, then please pass on the giveaway unless you’re entering on behalf of someone who you know really wants and needs this life changing book. ♥ Thank you!
Please enter below in the comments. I’ll randomly choose one winner next Tuesday. If you’d like to grab a copy of the book, you can do that here at the Trim Healthy Mama website, or in my Trim & Healthy Amazon store.
Thank you for celebrating with me on a day I really never thought I’d see last November. Please let me know when you hit goal weight day…I want to celebrate with you too!
And the Winner Is…

I would love to win a copy for my sister in law. She wants one badly but without internet access she’s just trying to implement a few of the things I’ve talked about and it makes it hard. I keep hoping to get to a place where I’m comfortable enough with my knowledge to part with the book for awhile but it hasn’t happened yet and probably won’t for a long time. 🙂
Tammy says
Awesome! Your posts have been so helpful and encouraging. 🙂 I have the ebook but would love a hard copy!
Sara Reimer says
I borrowed a friend’s book and WANT my own!

Hello! I have recently joined the FB page and have been reading all of the wonderful posts and seeing all of the delicious foods that you can eat. I have hypothyroidism and weight loss has been VERY difficult for me. I would love to try this, and would love a free book! You are so inspiring!! Pick me!!!
Kelley S. says

Lisa Ramirez says
I love this book and would love to win a copy for a dear friend!
Debbie says
I love my THM eating plan. My sister is struggling with weight and health issues. She’s 15 years older than me, and I’d like for her to be around for years to come. She is looking for a good eating plan and I’ve been telling her about THM. I would love to surprise her with the book. She’s following my advice about a few things, but the book explains things so much better.
Amy Estes Gaffney says
Congrats! I’d love to have my own copy of the book!
Kristin Shawver Forsyth says
I’d LOVE to wine a copy for a friend! I’m already a THM 🙂

Brooke says
THATS GREAT!!! And I would love to win a copy of the book for myself 🙂
Melissa says
I don’t need one, but my mom really wants one, but with her cancer, she is spending all her extra money on supplements. You look great, Gwen…such an inspiration! Thank you for all the work you do, here no your blog, and also over on the FB page.
ginad says
I would love to win a copy of this book! I’ve been watching the progress made by so many women and would love to be able to do the same! Thank you for this opportunity to win this wonderful book!
LMcC says
Congrats! I do not own a book, but have a friend who is a THM mama who highly recommends it. I’m just holding off the book and key ingredients due to finances now. I weigh what I did at end of my pregnancies (3 kids – oldest is now 9 – UGH!!). Sooo tired all the time. I hope to get the book someday & start feeling all that energy you all are talking about. God bless you!
Becky e says
I would love to win this book!
April B says
I’ve been wanting to read this book because I’ve heard so much about it!
Rachel Eicher says
I would love to win this book for a friend of mine
Leanna Williams says
I was given the book by my sister for my birthday…I would love to win one to either give to my mom or my best friend. Still learning the “the ropes” on it but weight is coming off. 🙂
Stephanie Wahab says
I could really use a book as opposed to the digital copy I have (which makes it hard to re-look up information when I have questions), I would also love to be able to loan it out to friends and family who are interested and I can’t do that with a digital copy. I really believe several people I know would start eating this way if they could read the book and I can’t afford a hard copy to give or even loan them right now.
Betsey says
Awesome, good for you!!! Is this open for Canadians?
Alea Stepanic says
I also have the book but would LOVE to have one on hand to pass on to someone…I have been telling people bout the book and how excited I am about it and how much sense it makes and soooo wish I had one to give to those that I’ve been telling about. Congrats on reaching goal weight!!!! I can’t WAIT till that day for me….but it will be a LONG time coming. Thanks for your advice also…I’ve asked a lot of questions and they will probably keep coming as I am new and trying to understand it all still. Just started my official journey, with no plans on cheating or straying away from plan yesterday. Yay THM!!!!
Luci Dutton says
I would love to be able to bless someone with the book who couldn’t otherwise afford it. Thank you!
Its_Gwen says
Luci, if you’d also like to contribute a book to the giveaway, please contact me and we’ll work out the details. 🙂 Thank you!

Hi Gwen, I am not in a position to do that but would love to win so that I could. Sorry for the misunderstanding! Blessings to you, Luci
Lisa B. says
I would love to win a copy. I’ve been eyeing this book for a while now but haven’t bought a copy just yet.
Amber W. says
Congratulations Gwen! You look amazing! I started THM about halfway through this pregnancy, and this lifestyle is helping me to not use my pregnancy as an excuse to eat the junk I usually crave during pregnancy…I’ve only gained 15 lbs, I have had a pretty easy pregnancy compared to my others, and I only have a few weeks to go! I have never been able to lose all my weight from previous pregnancies, so I look forward to seeing what my body does on THM after the baby is born! My mom came to visit a few weeks ago, and was amazed at how fit I am this pregnancy. She keeps asking questions about the book…she’s overweight, pre-diabetic, and has has lots of health issues. I’d love to win THM for her!!!
mominmaine says
I would love a copy of this book I haven’t been able to afford it yet but I gave up sugar over a month ago! Now just waiting for more direction.
JoshsRebekah Larson says
I would really like a hard-copy of the book. Then I could have it on hand instead of trying to get my computer to find the right spot in the ebook every day!
Tami says
I would love to win a copy! Congratulations on your exciting news. You look fantastic!
Randi Graves says
Oh I could really use this book but can’t afford it at all. I’d love to win this! Thanks for doing this giveaway.
pizzinik says
So excited for you Gwen.
Paula Hoy says
I feel guilty for wanting the book as I have bought 4 already and given them away to people who need it more so than I. I do think it would be nice to read how to do THM properly. and the pass it on to another person who needs it, I would just like to be able to read it all the way through, get to know what to eat with out asking for help…..
BeppyJo says

I’d love a copy of this book for my mom. She asked me to borrow my copy but I just couldn’t part with it as I have just begun my own THM journey. Thanks so much for this giveaway but more importantly CONGRATULATIONS!
Jayne says

Robin Johnson Gomez says
I’m gearing up to start THM! So happy for you!!!

Congratulations Gwen, so happy for you! I have a copy, but would live to win one for my parents who both have health issues I believe this would help heal. They don’t have internet, and mom is one who learns by reading, verbal just goes over her head…she’s interested though! 🙂

Suzanne says
Congratulations on reaching your goal, I would love a copy of the book!
Linda says
I bought an e-book 5 weeks ago and love the whole concept. I have been bragging, bragging, bragging to friends about this, and would love my very best friend to get a real live copy of this. She has issues her naturapath has given up on, and her weight is up and down. I just cannot believe this method of eating wouldn’t benefit her health!
Sarai B Carver says
My Momma has been talking about your book and encouraging me to get it. I have just started this without the book she pretty much tells me what to eat and we wlive across the country! Id love a copy so I can continue on my 75 pound weight loss journey! and you look amazin’!
Melody Meyer says
While I would love a hard copy of the book, if I would win one, I would pass it on. I have a type 1 diabetic nephew who would seriously benefit from this book (although, I would start with giving it to his mom:) ) I have been slowly reading through my e-book and stalking the facebook pages and decided that today is my “day 1.” Congratulations on reaching your goal weight! This is so inspiring to me! It is posts like this helps me to believe in myself!

I love THM and would love to have another copy of the book to pass along to friends who could really use the information.
Carol says
I would love a copy of the book so that I can start the THM plan. I have lately been very interested in the health of my family and am trying to change our eating habits for the better. I was hoping to try figuring it all out by reading about it on the FB group and that has helped me try some of the ideas before I jump in (thanks!), but I still cannot squeek together the money for a copy of the book, and would really like to jump in 100%! After 4 children, I also have a little extra padding I’m ready to let go of! 🙂
Eszter Gergely says
I have the e-book and I would like to have the hard copy, because I like real books, but I could not afford one 🙂 Thank you
rosar85 says
Gwen, congratulations on reaching your goal; you look radiant! Thank you so much for the chance to win this book; being on a fixed income doesn’t leave room for any extras.

Alice Batchelor says
Gwen,
I am so proud of you reaching that goal!! But more importantly you are teaching your children how to be healthy, what a gift. Something for a lifetime. I would love to win a copy of the book to pass along to a friend who desperately needs to lose weight. She is a young Mom really struggling…

I am a grandmother now and the last year I have reflected many times about how much of my life is passed being over weight and missing out on things and people. Well this year in April I decided to stop putting it off and so far have lost 11 lbs. I am going to keep on keeping on and still enjoy life. Bless you and I can see the joy in your eyes in your recent pics. congratulations on changing your lifestyle.. I am going to do that too..

I really need this book my husband wants me to help him and our family to eat this way. I am a Dr. Pepper addict I need help too.
Marcy Bruce says
I am very intrigued by this THM. A friend introduced me to it, & I’ve looked just at a few testimonies, recipes, & joined the FB group today. I only touched the book one time. I’m very hesitant to purchase anything more towards “weight loss,” as nothing before has “stuck” or helped past about 12 pounds. From juicing, point counting, treadmill purchase, gym memberships, yoga dvd’s, etc. I’m curious about how much a book really could help!?!?!? Please enter my name into your drawing. Thank you for the chance.
Jennifer Bryant says
I would definitely pass a copy onto a friend 🙂 congrats hun!!!! good job!!!! jennifer Bryant
Rachel Davis says
Please enter me into the drawing! Thank you! <3 You look fabulous, by the way!!! (Before AND after!)

Melody Wright McMullen says
My mother in law has introduced us to this book. She has lost 15 Lbs in 4 weeks and has been ordered by her doctor to stop her insulin. We are so impressed and proud of her that we want to start the journey with her. She has given me a copy of the quick start guide and a few recipes but not the book. My husband and I are both teachers so we plan to purchase the book at our next pay day, June 25. So yes, we would very much love to win a book.
Congratulations on your journey and thank you for this group.

I have a friend using this and have been intrigued…. would love to have a copy to see if it’s something that can help my mother and I to get (and stay) healthy!

I’d absolutely love a copy of this book! I’ve been reading/hearing so
much about TMH and follow on pinterest. I want to eat/cook healthy and

of food allergies. Congratulations on your fabulouts weight loss goal, you look great!

I would LOVE to win a copy of the book! I have had the book in my Amazon cart for months, but I haven’t taken the plunge. I am so scared it will just be another diet I will fail at. I have read all your wonderful posts and I am part of the group on Facebook. I am just terribly afraid I will have to explain to my husband why I spent $35 on another diet book and still wake up crying on Monday when I step on the scale.

I would love to win this book, after I have my baby next month I’ll need to lose almost 80 pounds to reach my goal weight. That’s the most amount I’ve ever had to lose and I’m scared of such a large number. Scared I’ll cave in to the temptations for sweets and just overall eating too much. I’ve heard wonderful things about this book!
mkc says
congratulations. That is a huge accomplishment. I would be very excited to receive this book. I am in the same boat after a couple kids and think 35 pounds is my number too. I think our photos would be very similar. 🙂 I am determined to do it now. Thanks for the inspiration.

I’ve long thought of trying this way of eating, just lacked the funds to get the book myself. I’ve done two 60 day juice fasts and was successful at losing (and keeping off) 45 pounds.

Thank you for all you do to encourage all of us, especially “newbies” like myself!!!
Blessings,
Terry

Christina S says
I would love to win this for my Mother (she doesn’t do give-a-ways much, the time she spends on the internet is pretty limited, plus I haven’t been able to give her a gift in years). My Mother has weight issues, I know she’d love to finally conquer-I’ve been curious if the THM book could help her but neither of us can afford it just yet. This seems like an excellent opportunity to win it for her and gift it to her as an early birthday present 🙂 (provided I win it of course! If not I’ll just continue trying to save up money for it ^-^).
Christy says
I have a friend that I would love to buy a copy for but just haven’t been able to do it yet.
Congrats! You look great!
Holly Keeling says
I have a copy, but would like to bless a friend who needs a health breakthrough and I know THM would help her!

Macrina Lane says
I would love a copy of your book!!!!! 🙂
Lori Ann Harsent says
I would love to have a book. Thanks for being so real, Gwen… and how wonderful for your success.
Janice says
Congratulations, Gwen! You look lovely! 🙂 I am entering on behalf of my mom. She is 67 years old, quite overweight and just plain unhealthy. She takes a dozen or so prescription drugs each day. We live over 300 miles apart, but I just spent the past week with her as we took an 800 mile road trip together to my grandmother’s funeral. My mom noticed my weight loss right away (40 pounds now). I had not seen her since before starting THM. She asked me lots of questions about the plan on our two day drive home. I sent her home with samples of all my THM food products and told her I would order the book for her. (I’ll wait now, till your giveaway is over.) If she wins it, then I’ll be able to buy one for my sister-in-law instead who also asked me how I was losing weight, and has struggled with hers for many years, as I used to (pre-THM). I want my mom to be healthy so badly. After just losing my grandmother, I now wonder how long I will have my mom. I am going to do all I can to help her get healthy.
rebekah says
I would like to win a free copy. I can’t afford a book, but I’ve been reading everything I can find about it on the internet. 🙂 I have not been able to lose all my weight after the last few pregnancies. I’m at 176. 130 or less is a pretty good weight for me. I’ve had 11 pregnancies, ten children. My blood pressure is really high, has been since my last pregnancy, and I don’t want to start on medicine. I see a lot have entered so I know this will make the day for whoever gets picked!
WP says
I’d love to win a copy of the book!
AngieK says
I have the book and have been working on myself, I would love this for my 40ish sister – single mom, hard worker who never takes time to get herself healthy. She really is at a loss when it comes to getting herself trim and healthy. I think this book could inspire her as she has inspired so many others with her hard work ethic and compassion.
Cara Young says
I’ve been watching the Facebook page for awhile and trying to decide if I should get the book. Just not sure yet if its something I’d actually stick with or not. I guess mostly because I’m not sure I understand it. I’d love to win the book and try it, though.
Erin says
I would love to win this! Your post with pics inspired me, but what really got me is how great you’re feeling. Oh to wake up and be ready to start the day would be wonderful. 🙂
Deb says
I would love to win a copy of this book!
Tracy Rose says
Well done, you are an inspiration. I have the book and have been talking to my sister-in-law about it. She would love a copy but is short on money at the moment, it would be great to be able to bless her with one.
Sharon says
SharonLT.. I have heard of this book and would love to read it..
Jennifer says
That is so awesome! I would love a copy of this book … was researching it last night and came across your review of it. Sounds perfect for me, but dh balked at the price of “another fad diet book”. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Heather says
I am just now hearing about this book through some great friends who know that I’ve been struggling through this area in my life. Your journey is so encouraging and I love that you are not following the weird diet crazes. This morning I am encouraged. 🙂 I sure hope to win a copy of your book.

I bought the book via the Kindle on Mothers day. I would love a paper copy, I have a hard time using the eversion.

I would love the book.

Kristin K. says
I’d LOVE to win a copy of the book! Several of my friends have recommended it, but we just don’t have the extra $ right now for me to buy it. Since the birth of my 4 daughters, my weight has just been creeping up and up and up……I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and I really don’t like myself much right now. Desperately in need of a jump start!!
sarah seidel says
I own it, but I’d love to win it for a family (mother, daughter, granddaughter) who are all struggling to regulate their sugars and, as a result, their weight. I’ve almost bought the book for them, but if I were to win it, that would be awesome!
Stephanie says
id love to get a copy
Tami Waters says
I’d love a copy of the book. A group of my friends have sung the praises. My son has high insulin and recently broke his leg. It’s an easy opportunity for him to gain weight, so now is the time for serious dietary changes. This looks like an insulin stabilizing, yet still delicious, way to go.
Rachel L. Hardy says
I just learned about this book last night over a naughty birthday dinner! I’ve tried it all and am getting nowhere. I’m so sick of being tired and unhappy. I would love to win this book!

After weeks of soaking up THM info from several blogs and fb, I stumbled upon your THM quick start guide and decided that I CAN do it! Husband is on board too! I know so many people that would benefit from a copy of the book and can’t wait to share info!
Michelle says
I’m celebrating with you. Thanks for sharing this milestone with us and all you’ve learned about THM. I’m on this journey with you too, and it’s been wonderful, but honestly I have not had the time to try all the wonderful treats that you’ve been passing on. So, I can’t wait to try them this summer. I’m enjoying THM Tuesdays. I’d love to win a copy of THM for my Mom or sister. Thanks for the give-away.

Can I win? I certainly need to lose weight!
Chelle Barnaby says
I’d love to give this book to a special someone whose health is failing without THM.
Amy Asher says
I would love to win this book! I especially loved what you said about things “clicking” for you. Eating healthy seems so overwhelming and I feel like I don’t even know where to start! (Besides the obvious fruits, veggies, & lean proteins.) This sounds like the answer I am looking for!! All of your bullet points are what I want too! Thanks for doing this giveaway.

We started a weight loss program at work but I’m kind of stuck and could really use some help on where to start. If I can find something that works for me, then maybe I can help my daughter who weighs over 300 lbs. I think we need a life style change and reading your success is inspiring me. I would LOVE a copy of this book. Thanks, Valerie Gibbs

I’d love to win a copy of this book. My friend has been using this book and has lost 20 pounds. I need to do something because I feel like I’m stuck here at the weight I am.
Gulwant Kaur says
I live in Malaysia but have following the THM FB page and have been figuring out how to sign up and pay for a hardcopy of the book as I do not own a paypal account or a credit card. Would really appreciate a copy so that I can try out the plan and share the wonderful success of the THM lifestyle to my community here.
Shirley M says
I would love to have my own copy.
RR says
Congratulations on arriving at your goal weight! I have been hearing about this book, and would love to win it! Thank you for having this giveaway!

I have the book but I would love to win a copy to give to my parents. My Dad is diabetic and my Mom struggles with post-meno weight.
Alison says
I’ve been wanting to give this book a try.
Rebekah says
Wow! You look amazing! It’s even more amazing that you FEEL good too. That’s always been my problem with “dieting”–I’m ALWAYS hungry, never satisfied and then don’t really lose anyway. What’s the point of all that??
I have been reading about THM today and am really inspired by your posts and pictures to take the leap and get this book. While I may go ahead and order a copy tonight, I’d love to win another copy to gift to a friend of mine who is so struggling physically, who I believe could really be helped by the principles of THM.
I can’t wait to start my own THM journey and see how it helps my hubby and me with our health challenges.
THANK YOU!!!
Mrs.Carla Garcia says
I love to Win A Copy of Trim Healthy Mama!
Megan says
I’ve been reading and reading out THM. I haven’t been able to committ as I don’t want to disappoint myself again, by not being successful at losing weight. I’m not a fad dieter, and really want a lifestyle change. I’d love to win a copy of this book and hopefully someday be an “after” Thanks for sharing your story! I love hearing everyone’s successes!
Mom24jewels says
Wow, what an inspiration. I would love to win this book and begin my journey. Thank you for not only offering the book but allowing us to read about your journey. Have a blessed day.
Sue Seim says
I enjoy your blog and your recipes very much. Two of my daughters-in-law and I are on the THM diet and really liking it. I am using a library copy of the book now and would really like my own copy.
Sue Seim says
You look great!
Kathryn says
I’m not a mamma, but I’d love to own this book, as i am very interested in and with health and fitness! BUT! Come to think of it, MY mamma, who is struggling with weight loss would probably LOVE a copy! Therefore I enter! 🙂
Tanya Miles says
I have been reading so many great things about this book. Congratulations on reaching your goal, and enjoying life so much more in the process!
Robyn says
I would love to win a copy of this book. I’m waiting for it at the library right now. My husband and I really need to start eating healthier, especially him, he is overweight and it’s not healthy for his heart. Thanks!!
Andrea says
The contest is over but I still thought I’d comment. I am also 5’7″ and have lost 35 lbs since starting in Jan. I set my goal weight at 147…The lowest I’ve been in my adult life was 135…that was for my wedding and I was thin thin thin. I also have a muscular build and have been working to build more muscle so I know at 147 I’ll be in 6/8 size clothes. I still have 20 lbs to go, and I’m hoping to get there by my birthday Aug 9th. I was such a sugar addict before, like you said above, I serious can’t believe how I don’t crave sugar. I had recees pb cups in my house and didn’t even want one. I don’t feel deprived. Anyway, it’s always interesting to see/meet people with about the same stats. Maybe it’s in your blogg somewhere, but what are you doing for exercise?
Anna says
My husband called home on Monday and told me to order the book I had been talking so much about.bits a belated 45birthday gift for me. I sure am nervous and afraid I will fail again. I hope not.
