Today is THE DAY! 17% weight loss and goal met! When I started this lifestyle 80 days ago, I honestly couldn't even imagine losing 10lbs. My body wasn't where it should be.....tired, unhealthy, unfit, bad eating habits, too much weight around my gut and butt, and zero plan to change.
Years ago, I weighed in the 130's (ideal). I went for my yearly checkup and my GYN commented, "You've gained 3 lbs this year". Although I absolutely loved this doctor, I was very put off by his comment. I mean, how dare he (a man) make such a statement.....did he have the first clue about water retention, hormones, etc, etc?? Then he said, "You just don't want to do that year after year".
Wisdom comes with age, and I get his warning. Three pounds over 10 years = 30 lbs. 20 years = 60 lbs. It's slow, gradual, you don't notice until you're there! Three little pounds/year is far bigger than we realize, and 15 years later, I was 25lbs heavier... well …

When I started this journey on Jan 4, I set a goal of 6 months (180 days) to get to 130 (the middle of my ideal range for my age, height, etc). My real goal was to see the 120's again....even if it was for ONE day at 129.9.
Well here it is. Day 80 (100 days ahead of schedule) with lots of willpower and a much healthier and happier me!
Oh, and bonus, I start my first-ever session with a personal trainer today! It's time for the next step. I turn 49 in 3 weeks, and I'm ready for a new me!!
There is absolutely no way I could have accomplished this without the resources through Shibboleth. What a blessing this journey has been already!

My Shibboleth journey began when I spent Thanksgiving of 2019 with my family and saw the amazing results of the diet. Three of my siblings and their spouses, whom I hadn't seen for 8-9 months, had been on Shibboleth for about 3-4 months at that time. At Thanksgiving, I realized that I was still in my old world of being significantly overweight. My weight was even limiting my enjoyment of activities that I had previously always been able to fully participate in. As an emergency physician, I see patients daily whose lives are limited and shortened by excess weight, and always knew that I was certainly in that category. I started the diet at 258lb and dropped to a low of 198lb over an 8-month period. I'm 6'4", so I moved on the BMI scale from "morbidly obese" down to "normal". I have been a complete vegan since 2014, but had actually gained a significant amount of weight eating pasta, bread, rice, and other simple carbs. I've found it …

I have been a complete vegan since 2014, but had actually gained a significant amount of weight eating pasta, bread, rice, and other simple carbs. I've found it pretty easy to continue to follow the tenets of the Shibboleth diet and maintain a fully vegan diet. I've stabilized at around 202lb for the past four months. I'm very grateful for being introduced to Shibboleth!

Today marks a milestone in my “Shibboleth journey”. 2 years ago, today, I reluctantly started a “thing” called My Shibboleth. Two young fellas I attend Church with, Jonathan and Josh Montgomery, had started losing weight and after a few months of watching them and seeing they were “seriously losing the weight” and keeping it off, I mustered up the courage to text Jonathan and ask him what In the world he was doing. He shared what he was doing and I actually signed up in June of 2018. I didn’t get serious until August 1, 2018. As you see in the picture on the left, I was a BIG boy. When I actually got the courage to step on the scale it said 308 lbs. I’m quite positive I weighed closer to 320 but that’s where I started. Through the next 6-8 months I lost 70 lbs and through these last 2 years I have maintained 50-55 lbs lost.

So, hopefully, today I can give you hope THAT SHIBBOLETH WORKS!!!! IT IS A SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE AND YOU CAN DO IT!!
I also found it quite ironic that the Shibboleth shirt I’m wearing was the top shirt in my T-Shirt drawer today......
My prayer and my goal for the next year is to lose another 15-30 lbs and continue this wonderful journey I’m on.
Let me assure you, If I can do this....Anyone can!!
Bless the Name of the Lord!

I have been on the fence about sharing these but after listening to Travis’s live video today, I decided it’s time. About a year and a half ago, I was shopping for jeans and had to move up to a size 18. I refused to buy them. Left the store crying and mad at myself. I decided then that I would lose weight. I have made that decision quite a few times over the years. In February of 2018, I joined Beachbody and started working out and eating better and lost 20 pounds. 6 months later, I had to have my gallbladder removed and lost focus. Before I knew it, I had gained half of it back. Fast forward to May 2019, some friends at church were losing weight like crazy!! They told me about Shibboleth. I joined the next week. Since then, I have lost 25 pounds and am now in a size 12 jean, headed to a 10!!! This program changed my life. It changed my mindset about food and it holds me accountable to GOD ALMIGHTY about the food choices I make. I’m so thankful for Shibboleth and all the wonderful peo…

Can I just brag on my Lord a little bit this morning? Last June I joined Shibboleth thinking it was gonna be just like everything else I’ve tried and that I would fail with in 2 months. I topped the scales at 405 (a number I swore I would never allow myself to reach). The bottom left pictures were my starting place...I was miserable inside and out. By September I met my 10% loss and earned my shirt, took pictures on top right side and was proud of how far I had come along so quickly. I got complacent and comfortable towards the end of the year, those holidays caused me a little slowed progress because I allowed them to. We bought a house and moved right after Christmas and I was seriously riding the struggle bus most of this year (up and down the same 10-15 pounds).

But praise and glory to God who answered prayers about my need to get back on track, I knew I had wasted a lot of valuable time I would never get back and all I could do was get up and get with the program...then came the…

But praise and glory to God who answered prayers about my need to get back on track, I knew I had wasted a lot of valuable time I would never get back and all I could do was get up and get with the program...then came the Shibboleth Summer Slimdown challenge! I lost more that first week than I did on my first week in Shibboleth! Now I really know what it means to “lock it down and rip off the knob”. I’ve never been more proud of myself or more thankful to God for giving me the strength to be strong against daily temptations all around me! Shibboleth is not just a way of eating, it’s a fully encompassing plan that really makes you fight the mental, emotional and spiritual battles that come with addiction. Having overcome a history of drug abuse, I know first hand that only happens fully and completely when Jesus is on the scene!

I’m down 91 lbs and over 42 inches (y’all, that almost 4 feet!) and I feel like I’m just getting started. Our pastor recently talked about how all the tests in the Bible seem to be 40 days and the significance of that time. I’m on a roll and shooting to continue this challenge with God for 40 days in an effort to fully overcome this food addiction and break the chains of bondage that I have been in for 30 years. I’m thankful for the struggles I’ve had along the way, and am prepared to deal with additional struggles when they come because there is no victory without a battle!

I joined Shibboleth in like Oct or Nov of 2017. I didn’t actually start until Jan. 4, 2018. I found my why and began. My blood pressure was running 186/108 and I weighed 255 pounds. I had tried everything out there when it came to weight loss. From Jan 4 to April 4, I lost 43 lbs. The weight was just coming off and the inches along with it. Before long, the Dr. had to completely take me off of my meds. I have kept my “WHY” at the forefront to be able to achieve my goal. I had set my goal to loose 110 lbs by the first of Dec. I fell at the gym and broke my arm in 2 places in September. I was really scared it was going to set me back because I wasn’t able to go to the gym for over 3 weeks and then only in moderation. So on Oct 23, I stepped on the scales and have lost 101 lbs! I am 9 lbs from my goal and intend to reach on or before Dec 1. I have lost 89.5 inches overall. I wish I could convince everyone to try this program. If you work the program, it will work for you. It literally ha…

My family and my Shibboleth family has encouraged me the entire way. I feel better, look better and love buying clothes again. Please join! It’s the best money you will ever spend!!

This was me in May. My sugars were through the roof due to 4 doses of steroids from my doctor. I was sick and miserable BUT better than I had been 4 years ago so I considered myself ok. I was also in better health than my husband so I also considered myself ok. I bought the membership and sat on it for a few weeks unsure where to start. Took me a bit because I was focused on all of the reasons I couldn't do this or that. My family wouldn't eat it, my daughter doesn't eat x, my son is on keto, my husband hates...my mother-in-law won't ... you get the point?
I then woke up and decided enough was enough. No more excuses. I still didn't believe Shibboleth worked but I knew I couldn't say it didn't work if I didn't actually DO it.
Am I where I wanted to be by now? Nope. BUT I am so much better off now than I was just a few short months ago. I'm off 5 meds for my diabetes, which means I'm only on one now at the lowest dose. I was on the max do…

One thing I've done is determined that if it's not on plan, it's not for me. I don't have to do it perfectly but I do have to decide to commit. You don't have to love everything you eat all the time.
The biggest battle you have is with your mind. Therefore, I want each of you who are on the fence or struggling to say it with me "It's Do or Die. There is NO Try!"
Now go look yourself in the mirror, right in the eyes and apologize to your body and mind for letting it get away with all these shenanigans. Put them both in their place. It's time to decide to make it happen. Don't look at all the blocks, look at all you CAN do. Oh, but you will be so happy you did!

Everyone knows I have struggled with my weight for years....I did Adipex (fat dr in Hiram drugs) for years lost weight...found it again!! Did Plexus for 4 years and lost weight and found it again!!! In January I started Weight Watchers at 272 lbs and by June I was down to 258 lbs (slow but I lost!) All the things I’ve done in the past, I never learned what to eat to actually lose weight and keep it off!!! In May I decided that since my friends in church had done so well with Shibboleth, maybe I should try it!! So I signed up and went on vacation!! Lol got back home and started June 3 weighing 258 lbs!!! I was amazed at how simple this lifestyle was and amazed at what I was learning!!! Here I am 3 months in and officially down 40lbs!!! I eat so many different varieties of food I never knew to eat together. I have went from a 26 in pants and 3xl shirt to I’m in 16 pants and large in shirts!!! As I get ready to leave for another vacation, I am excited because of many reasons but one huge…

I have 46 lbs to go and I will be at my goal weight and officially 100 lbs lost!!! Guys if you haven’t researched Shibboleth, trust me you really should!! God has truly blessed my life with this lifestyle!!!

I began my Shibboleth journey July 1, 2015. I lost 125 lbs in a year and a half. Before I started, my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and would have diabetes when I came back in a month. She told me to start eating healthy. I didn’t know how to eat. I just prayed for the Lord to help me. He placed several people from my church to witness to me about their success. They invited me to a meeting and I decided to attend. All the way to the meeting I prayed, “Lord if this is what you want me to do you will have to slap me in the face with it and give me strength.” When I got to the meeting the Lord confirmed Shibboleth was what he wanted me to do! Everything my doctor was telling me Jason said in the meeting that night. I was like ok God I get it! I have never looked back. My doctor has told me I’m no longer pre-diabetic, all my blood work comes back normal, and I was told I have the heart of an athlete. WooHoo!! Who knew the foods I was eating could make me feel so bad. Now I feel great…

I’m so thankful for Travis’ willingness to follow what God wants him to do. He is changing so many lives. Jason has helped me to know the path to follow and is always there to help and guide me. I love my Shibboleth lifestyle.

Tommy has lost 130 lbs. He said he would do Shibboleth with me. (So glad, it made it so much easier, doing it together, we are each other’s support.)He is so much healthier and has decreased the medicines he takes.

For most of my life I have been overweight. I have had some success losing weight and getting lean especially when I was in the Air Force. I have always tried to maintain a certain threshold only to find that over time I broke that threshold time and time again. I had family members who were quite a bit overweight and I had to struggle just to maintain. Over the last 4 years, I have had some of those family members have serious medical problems. A little over 3 years ago my dad had to go for emergency hernia surgery. Because of his high blood pressure and sugar his body could not recover and he passed away. Some time after that my uncle had problems related to diabetes and heart trauma. I knew it was time for a change or I was headed in the same direction. I found Shibboleth about 6-8 months ago but I was skeptical and thought it was just another diet. The kind where I had seen success before but what would be different this time.

My wife and I joined on June 4, 2018 and I immediately saw the difference. The support of the staff, the members, and my friends doing the program was overwhelming. I quickly realized that I was not only eating food that was better for me but food that was better tasting in a lot of cases. I figured out that this program is all about a lifestyle of eating well and not just a diet. I am down almost 60 pounds and feeling great.

I heard about Shibboleth from a friend and former co-worker about 2 years ago. At which time, I was in the process of researching weight loss surgery because I had had enough. I had just come off of a 7 day liquids only fast (which was church related) and I felt in my spirit this question.. ' why can you do this for me and not for yourself '. Not too many days after that, I reached out to my friend by way of Facebook and inquired how she was losing her weight. The rest is history. The answer to that question came several months later through a friend who answered by saying, " because we don't love ourselves. "
I am currently down roughly 55 lbs - by way of the Shibboleth plan - and counting, loving myself all the way. I started in a 22/24 and I'm now in a 14/16. Although I have not reached my personal final goal yet, I know I will because this plan is foolproof as long as it is followed. Shibboleth was truly a God send for me and I know it has blessed oth…

When I look at the before pictures I see the emptiness on the outside I was feeling on the inside. I was sitting on the sidelines watching life pass me by because I was so unhappy and uncomfortable in my own skin. I missed out on so many activities and events choosing instead to stay home with my best friend, FOOD.
I sought out the comfort of food when I was lonely, stressed, sad and treated eating as a social activity. I have had weight problem since I was a child and living in a small town in the Northeast I ended up being the target of some very cruel classmates. I moved to Florida and ended up putting on more weight as I stressed about being away from home and felt more out of place in a hot climate that lives in shorts and bathing suits. What did I do? Turned to food, for me it was a vicious cycle of being depressed because of my weight and turning to food to feel better.

I hit my highest weight of 249 and decided to once again try to take of the weight for my own happiness and health. I managed to lose 30lbs by cutting out sweets and fast food, but then everything stopped. I was slipping back into my old habits when I talked to a woman at work who had a sister in Georgia that was doing an awesome diet called Thrive. She recognized the hurt in my eyes and gave me the information to get started. I was skeptical as I have tried so many different programs, pills, potions and exercise gizmos with no success. Thrive was the first time I was successful and was learning how to cope with my mindset and learn a healthy lifestyle.
Shibboleth has given me my life back, I am no longer sitting on the sidelines, I am living and participating in each day! I have lost more than 50 lbs, stopped taking 2 medications and have gone from a size 18/20 to 8. I have relapsed a couple of times during my journey, but I have never strayed too far from the program. I will always have my addictive relationship with food, but I have embraced the Shibboleth lifestyle and have all the support, tools and love right at my fingertips. I still have about 10 lbs to go to my absolute happy weight and I am confident I will be there in no time!
Thank you to Travis, Sasha and the whole Shibboleth team for giving me my life back! I am so honored and blessed to be part of the Shibboleth family! No more watching life pass me by! I am living each and every day!

I have always been a hefty gal, struggling with my weight, being made fun of in school for it and dealing with depression my whole life. After a marriage, baby, divorce, and remarry I let myself go even more. I tried everything and nothing stuck. I would always say I don't know why I can't lose weight as I was stuffing my face. Making excuses all the time but never finding or being able to stick to a "diet".
A co worker from my job introduced me to Thrive with Travis Martin. She really didn't want to tell me about it because she felt like all I wanted was the quick answer and not to learn how she got the answer to my problem, which she was right. So, a year goes by and I finally get on board to learn the program.

I wanted to be able to lose weight without keeping up with points, taking pills, getting shots, counting calories, or diets that I couldn’t even pronounce the foods of in the plans. I wanted to be able to lose weight healthily and with foods I eat every day. Thrive with Travis Martin allowed me to be able to to do just that.
I thought I was ready, stuck to it a few months had a holiday and slacked off then went completely off the program. A few years went by, medical issues came up and needed to be addressed along with hardships that came along in my life. I regained my weight and more, started the cycle of complaining about my weight and depression settled back in.
In 2016 I was finally able to get the medical issue fixed but had to lose 20 pounds first before they would do the surgery. Motivation! I set the date and immediately started back on Thrive, now called Shibboleth the day after Memorial Day.
June 20th, 2016 I had my surgery and have been living the lifestyle ever since.
I finally married the program. It has blessed my life in more ways than just weight loss.
I've lost 105 pounds and gained confidence and a love for life and adventure. I no longer hide behind my weight and let food live my life for me. I finally loved myself enough to fight for me. I mainly keep my meal choices simple and when my boys lived at home I retrained my mind to cook Shibboleth and not all the other big carb loaded meals I was used to making.
Throughout my journey I could have dropped my weight and met my goal much quicker but I chose to take it slow and incorporate the program into what is now my everyday life.
Shibboleth is the norm for me, I will not go back.
I love the lifestyle!
The shibboleth team are always there to answer any questions and are so encouraging. Travis and the team want you to learn it, love it, make it a lifestyle, and be successful.
Travis has never been about the money in all my years I've been with his program no one else has wanted to truly help people like he has. I am truly blessed to be apart of the Shibboleth family.

Being morbidly obese affects every area of a person's life. It affects you whether awake or trying to sleep. It’s the first thing you think about when you rise and the last before you go to bed. Obesity affects your energy which spills over into job, relationships, care and maintenance of your personal environment. It affects how you are perceived by the world and, (more importantly), how you perceive yourself.
I used to get angry with people who wrote me off because of my weight, but I think I can understand that it’s scary trying to care for someone who doesn’t care for themselves.
Anyway, I’ve struggled with my weight for 33 years. If you told me I could right this ship in 7 months eating better than I ever have I would have said you are nuts, but that’s what happened! Did I give up carbs? No!! Did I give up meat? No!!! Did I give up deserts? I heck no!!!!

Shibboleth taught me simply how, when, and what to eat. If I gave you particulars it might make you think of some magic bullet diet you’ve tried before. Having tried those I entered Shibboleth with the idea that I knew nothing. Consequently I have learned a sustainable way of eating and living that will keep me healthy for years to come.
On the Shibboleth Facebook page you can see people who have made a habit of making good choices and it has spilled over into every area of their lives. They live lives of gratitude and giving. That’s one of the outcomes of being a faith based program. I have a Savior that loves me and placed in my spirit a desire to find the answers that ultimately led me to my home planet Shibboleth. 102 lbs gone!! Very grateful!!

Last year I was at the end of my rope for weight loss. I need to lose weight so I could have hernia surgery. I was over 276 pounds and headed for weight loss surgery. My regular doctor begged me not to have the surgery and as it turns out after starting the process my insurance said they would not help pay in anyway for it. At the time I was really angry because I had been told on 3 occasions that they would completely pay for the surgery. I was mad and at the time could not see the blessing God was giving me. My husband came home and told me about this guy he works with that lost a lot of weight quickly ( and this was important because I needed to have my surgery before December 31, 2017), He told me this man was doing Shibboleth. This is ironic because the year before I had gone on a grocery store tour but it was short and I feel not done as well as they are now. I told my husband this is the program I told you about and you didn't feel it was worth it. He had changed his mind.…

I finally started Shibboleth on August 24, 2017... 276 pound approximately, could have been more. I was diabetic, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a few other ailments.
Today I am off my meds for everything.
Today I am at 172 pounds! I still have about 30 to go, but I know with God's help and Shibboleth I will make it.
Anyone needing to loss weight and feel better, this is the answer. Come join the family and let us support you.

I have 3 boys and had them in a 5 year period. Once I would have a baby, I would never really lose the weight before I got pregnant again. Fast forward 10 years and I was at the heaviest I had ever been. I weighed 236 lbs. I went to my nephews birthday party and was talking with a friend and she had lost 40 lbs on Shibboleth. She told me how much she loved it and I told her that as long as my pants fit I was fine being fat and happy. Well, come end of July when I needed to get ready for back to school, I am a special needs paraprofessional, my pants didn’t fit. I had to go out and buy a size up in pants. None of my clothes fit so I started thinking of going back on Plexus. My mom fell and broke her hip and was in the hospital for 3 weeks, she has smoked all her life and had major complications with her breathing. She ended up passing away on August 26th at the age of 59. She would have been 60 in December. That was my breaking point. I didn’t want my boys to lose their mom so young. I…

She ended up passing away on August 26th at the age of 59. She would have been 60 in December. That was my breaking point. I didn’t want my boys to lose their mom so young. I was obese and starting to have health issues. I had been labeled pre diabetic and it was matter of time before I was taking medication. I talked with my best friend who had joined over the summer and she asked me why I wanted to spend $100 monthly on Plexus when I could spend $100 for a year on Shibboleth. So I signed up and started binge watching videos. My first day on the planet was September 5th. It was Labor Day and my husband was like let’s got out to eat. I sent him and the boys to a restaurant cause I didn’t think I had the willpower to say no. I fell in love with the planet! I cried when there was no longer a 2 at the being of my weight! Everyone at my school started noticing and asking so we now have our own Baggett Shibby group. I am about 4 lbs from maintenance and if I had been strict this summer I would be there. I plan on starting the 21 day 21 foods once school starts so that I will be in maintenance by my 1 year mark. I joke with my group that I need to just have my renewal on auto debit every year because this is my lifestyle now!

Has anyone else been “eating healthy” and exercising only to see your weight and inches increase each year? Well that was me. After several health issues and seeing my weight on the doctor’s chart as obese, I decided to take control of my own health but to no avail. I kept gaining instead of losing and not feeling any better. For the last 4 years of eating what other health experts deemed as healthy I still was gaining!
Then I saw two women that I knew and one had lost 100+ pounds in a very short time and her sister lost over 40 lbs! I knew it was an answer to my desperate prayers! But as a skeptic I figured I’d give it a month to prove it either right or wrong! I did everything that was taught and followed the program daily. After a very short time I was finally getting the results that I had strived to get from so many other programs and for over the last 37 years!! Now after just 23 weeks I’ve lost 34.7 pounds and so many inches. Gone down from size 16-18 to a very baggy size 10!! …

Here are some other benefits I’ve personally gotten from Shibboleth. Better self esteem. More joyful. I feel like I’m a better vessel for God to work through me. No more joint pain, acid reflux, heartburn, headaches, better mental clarity, improved triglycerides and good cholesterol (waiting on other labs) tons of energy. Better sleep. I am now up before 7am instead of wanting to stay in bed till 11am!
The fact that God is the center and foundation of Shibboleth is the most satisfying part of this journey. I know God wants His people to be healthy and obedient and have our flesh under His authority and I finally feel that has become a reality. I truly believe now that “I CAN do all things through Christ Jesus” when it comes to my weight loss and wellness!
The personal touch and love that all the Shibboleth staff and members give is beyond anything imaginable! Bless The Name Of The Lord!!!

Just wanted to share a bit of our story/journey (so far)... we hope it is an encouragement.

Around Christmas time we went out for breakfast just the 2 of us. I noticed when we walked in the door that Chris was holding a spreadsheet... which, if you know Chris wasn't odd for him to have a spreadsheet... but, I thought it was strange he was bringing it to breakfast and I was a little nervous to ask him about it. After we ordered he pulled it out and placed it in front of me and told me it was his retirement plan. He had done it by year from this point in time all the way to 20 years out. He was explaining it all to me and then he kind of stopped with a "but"... and what came next changed everything. "But, this hinges on me working for the next 20 years... and I'm not sure I'll live that long if we don't make some changes." His last physical didn't go so well. He didn't feel good. He was tired all the time. And if I was being honest I wa…

He was tired all the time. And if I was being honest I was, too. We both knew we HAD to make changes. We didn't want to continue our lives feeling like that anymore. We wanted better for us and for our kids.

In the beginning of February we began the Shibboleth lifestyle. This lifestyle has helped us make the necessary changes to live fuller and healthier lives all while blessing the name of the Lord. We are so thankful for this ministry. It has been 5 months since we began and we have lost a combined 120 lb. (77 for him and 43 for me so far). In this picture you see the external results of the lifestyle, but what you don't see is what we've gained. Self-control. Energy. Better sleep. Less pain. We feel great!! Bless the name of the Lord!

Can a person do Shibboleth and lose weight? ABSOLUTELY! Can a person adopt Shibboleth as a lifestyle, not a diet, and keep it off? ABSOLUTELY!

I’m proof to that theory. I started Shibboleth in June 2015 245.8 lbs. Lost 83 lbs in 6 months concentrating on fastest weight loss combinations, very little holidays, as many challenges as I could do. I was successful.

April 30, 2018 I had put on 25 lbs. I was mad at myself, shocked and most of all determined that this was not happening to me. I’ve been an active shabby for 3 years I just got lazy. Well it was an eye opener for me. So what did a good shibby do? I Started a challenge to get me back on track. I did Zero Drag started May 1st until May 28. Lost 6.6 lbs. Then Travis came out with the 21D21F21P. Well I jumped on that. I decided I was going to make my 25 lb goal by July 15th so I did back to back 42 days straight. I concentrated on the Blow Torch Weight Loss and ate very lean. Well, final weigh in this morning, down total 18.4 lbs …

My final total lost since May 1st is 25.4 lbs in 70 days.

I am so happy to be back here and feel better than ever. I hope this can inspire someone new or old to the program that you can lose weight and keep it off. If you back slide you can get back on board and be perfect and make it go away again. This isn't a diet for me I use it as intended as a lifestyle. Three plus years going strong, journal everyday, walking the shibby walk. My family and close friends know me and don’t question how I eat or live they support me. If they don’t they don’t matter. At my gym they talk about me as the Shibboleth Girl she knows how to lose weight. I testimony to anyone there who will listen and encourage them to try shibboleth. First and foremost be true to yourself and live your life for you. Realizing that I was putting family and other obligations ahead of me and letting myself go was how I got to where I was before Shibboleth. Once I put myself first after God in my priorities I was able to succeed. Re-evaluate your life and change what you need to you deserve it. I wish I had found this before I turned 51. I sure could have been enjoying life more.

I praise God everyday for my sister in law dragging me to the Shibboleth meeting in June 2015. I wasn’t seeking weight loss even though I needed it. But after hearing Travis talk that day I felt inspired and just listening to the plan I knew it was something I could do. So I can never thank Travis and his staff enough for their continued inspiration, teachings and love. You have my heartfelt gratitude. Proud Shibby for Life❤️

I've struggled all my life with my weight. After having my two children it became even more difficult. In the fall of 2012 my world turned upside down and inside out for me when my husband's mining job came to a premature end due to the economy and we had to leave where we was living in God's country in a small rural town of Idaho. It was home in my heart. I was devastated because the last thing I ever wanted was to live in Georgia again. The move was very hard on me emotionally, mentally and physically. Looking back it was the beginning of my downward spiral. In the fall of 2015 my battle buddy and I attended our first Shibboleth meeting. We both left the meeting saying no way! This isn't for us! That winter I hit rock bottom and found myself in even worse health and now having to take blood pressure and anti-depressants. Well my battle buddy & I, whose health had declined too, attended another meeting and on the spot decided right then that our lives were cha…

Well my battle buddy & I, whose health had declined too, attended another meeting and on the spot decided right then that our lives were changing! We started on April 4, 2016. I weighed in at 255.6 & now I'm down to 215.4! I've always heard that there's a reason for why things happen to us and I now know mine. That was for me to come back to Georgia, meet my future battle buddy, discover Shibboleth, join and change our lives for the better! I'm happier & healthier than I've been in years plus I'm finally learning to love myself!

I could not be more excited, I earned my pink shirt a few weeks ago.. I went to the center today to pick it up & lost an additional 5 pounds!! Down 24.8 pounds gone forever! 18 inches gone forever! I'm only 4'11... I started out in a size 14 (but probably needed a 16, and now my 10's are loose!! I can honestly say with out the Shibboleth family support this would have never been possible. Y'all are all amazing & everyone's journeys are all different but our end goal is all the same!! I still have 30 pounds to go but I can do it!! This shirt was so rewarding to get but the letter from Travis Martin meant so much more. I thank God every night for what he has created for all of us. So thankful to finally be getting my life back!! Everyone at the center has all of our backs!! Putting this shirt on I cried, happy tears!! Here is my before & now pic!!

Wanted to write this to let everyone know that Shibboleth is the real deal. I started my journey with Shibboleth February 2016. I did it because my beautiful wife asked me to do it with her, so I said okay I’ll go to the meeting. So glad she asked me to do it. When we got to the first meeting (at our church, Pine Grove Baptist) they gave us a paper and said we want you to write down your “Why”.
Let me tell you my why: I was 44 years old, 5’8’ and I weighed 287 pounds, and God has blessed me with a beautiful wife, and 3 wonderful children. I was taking medication for high blood pressure and I always felt like I was tired. So my why was that I’ve got too many blessings from God to let myself be this fat and unhealthy, didn’t want to die and not be there for my family.
Since I have been on the Shibboleth Planet, I’ve learned a lot about the lifestyle. Changes needed to make a difference in my life. I think the hardest thing for me has been the fact that it’s not a diet, it’s a way of life.…

I think the hardest thing for me has been the fact that it’s not a diet, it’s a way of life. And I say that it’s been hard for the fact that, anytime you are trying to lose weight, people always say you have to diet, you can’t eat anything good, blah blah blah. On the Shibboleth Planet, you get to eat good food, you just have to eat it in correct portions and make sure you are eating the correct category foods together.

Before Shibboleth, I was just existing. I wasn't living. I was numb inside, well other than the misery and pain I lived in everyday. I hated myself. I was miserable and I made others around me miserable too. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything and Lord forbid I see someone I hadn't seen in a while. I was so ashamed of the weight I had gained. Food made me happy and made me hate life at the same time. It was my drug. It was really hard to find pictures of myself before my weight loss because I hid from the camera. My family is a huge picture taking family. Every get together we have to take pictures. I would dread it so bad. And once the picture was taken I warned them they better not post it on Facebook or anywhere else. I never wanted to see it again and I didn't want anyone else to see it either. I mean, I reported my own sister to the Facebook authorities for posting a picture of me that I didn't ok for her to post! Who does that?! LOL! This is awfu…

I mean, I reported my own sister to the Facebook authorities for posting a picture of me that I didn't ok for her to post! Who does that?! LOL! This is awful and embarrassing, but it's the truth, when I knew I was going to be the only one at home overnight, I would go get Chinese, or Red Lobster or Mexican, 2 half pints of different kinds of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, and tons of chocolate and I would PIG OUT! I was getting a fix on my drug of choice. It was wonderful while I was eating it and afterwards I as miserable and ashamed of it. After losing a friend in April 2016, I decided life was too short to be miserable and to hate myself and my life. On April 19, 2016 I began Shibboleth, and I started to get my life back. I did everything by the book. I watched all 26 Daily Doses videos, I journal EVERY SINGLE DAY, I watch the online classes, videos from the video library, and I utilize my resources and my mentor. Shibboleth has been the easiest, best thing I've ever done. There is NOTHING that I want, that I cant have, made the Shibboleth way. Since April 19, 2016 I have lost 69lbs. I have gone form a size 22/23 to a size 16 and I'm well on my way out of those 16s. Ive gone form a shirt size 2xl to a large! I work at Cartersville Medical Center and people stop me several times a day every single day asking me what I'm doing or how much have I lost now. I have given out sticky notes with the Shibboleth website on it countless times. I have written it on scrap pieces of paper and given it to cashiers at the grocery store. I wanted everyone to know about this program and I want everyone to get their life back, find their happy and start living again. Now, when my daughter and I go shopping its actually fun! People tell me all the time that I have a light in my eyes again. I believe them, because there is a light in my soul again too. I haven't met my goal just yet but there is no doubt in my mind that I will get there. #blessthenameofthelord
