There are many other "side effects" besides losing pounds...
- going off your high blood pressure medication. (under a doc's supervision)
- keeping up with the family.
- more energy!
- less or even no snoring.
- fitting in a rollercoaster or airplane seat.
- lower cholesterol
This past month Shan has been working the plan to show other guys that it can be done! We documented his weeks on our website, plus what he ate for all to see. We hope it helped give you some ideas on foods you can eat and enjoy while on plan, on the road or at work. If you missed a post, here they are. Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3. (Week 4 coming soon!)
We wanted to make guys give THM a shot and we hope they will! So, we decided to give away a little prize to one Trim Healthy Man out of our own pocket. You can find this model on Amazon and it's the grill we personally use at home. The price keeps varying on Amazon. If you are apart of the Man Challenge and you live in a different country than the U.S, you can still participate. We'll just send you a $250 Amazon gift card if you are the winner.
Rules of the contest:
- You MUST sign up at:
- Full participation for the month of July. All 31 days!
- No off plan meals, but Crossovers are certainly on plan.
- We need your starting weight sent to us from your spouse, mom, gal or from you on July 1st or 2nd. It can be commented on this post or via email for more privacy at shanandjen@ahomewithpurpose.com.
- Take before measurements of your waist (belt area), chest, neck, belly (the largest part). I know men may not like this step, but it really shows you how much are losing even when the scale doesn't move! This is for your personal benefit, not for us. We'd love to count up how many inches our Men all lost at the end of the 31 days.
- Take a before pictures. We did front view, face and side views. We'd at least like a full body front shot of you if you don't want to do all three. You can send to via email with your starting weight. shanandjen@ahomewithpurpose.com
- Join the A Home With Purpose- THM Family Challenge for more support and encouragement.
- Turn in your final weigh in on July 31th-August 1st, 2016. That can be sent via email or on a blog post wrapping up the contest near the end date in July. shanandjen@ahomewithpurpose.com
- We will choose a random winner by putting every man's name in a hat and letting our boys pick a name. You are only eligible to have your name in the hat if you did everything above. A name will be chosen on August 2nd and posted here on our site, in the Family Challenge group and if we don't hear back, we will also email the winner.
I found a new company that I'm really enjoying called, BareFoods. They make lovely sauces and Diane is giving us a great deal on them during the month of July! You can use the code: THMen when checking out to get $1 off every bottle you buy..no limits. The Soppin'Sauce is our favorite! We can't wait to try the spicier version next. Her sauces are THM friendly and on plan. They are sweetened with stevia. You can check out the ingredients on their site to make sure they are each okay with your possible allergies. They are coming out with FOUR new sauces and FOUR new rubs soon too! (MSG and Sugar free!) I'll be sure to announce those when they are up and for sale. The sale begins NOW. These are the three we've tried and loved.
So...are you ready for the THM 31 Day Man Challenge? We hope you'll join us.

Hi! Is my husband eligible if he started THM on May 1? He has not been THM 100% yet, but has lost 18 pounds so far.
Yes! Just sign him up or have him sign up! 🙂 He doesn’t have to be new..just on plan.
My man is not ready for the challenge – I need to stick with it and show results first. But I sure did order some of those sauces! Those are a huge deal to me. I am just not going to successfully make my own every single time. I am excited to try these. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Hope you like them. We have!
My starting weight is 257.
Thanks Clark! You’ll do great!!
I just signed up, I will send you my weight and measurements later this evening
Woot!! 🙂
Just entered my pics and stats via E-mail, but I am 291.8
I didn’t see this in time to officially register, but I’m going to jump on the challenge anyway. Don’t need the grill, just need to get healthier.
Are you going to have another contest for September? That’s a really stressful month. :o) I think it would motivate my low carb-dieting man to cross over to the dark side. THM side that is.
Yes we are!
