Australia Online Training Client, 46 year old Mom of 4, Gets Hot Bikini Bod

Transformations are so much fun to share, especially when they are as awe inspiring as Tracy’s! Nothing delights me more than seeing a mom, who thought that there was no hope of ever having an amazing transformation, digs deep and finds that they in fact DO possess everything that they need to make their own fitness dream a reality. It’s awesome and awe inspiring! That is why I am thrilled to share Tracy’s story with you today. Tracy was not overweight when she first started, but nevertheless, she was unhappy with where she was physically and wanted a change. She is a 46 year old mom of FOUR…yes I said FOUR!!! She also owns her own graphic design business and her husband owns a growing business as well, so needless to say, she is a busy girl! She was inspired by our very own Brandi’s transformation, and decided that she wanted this success for herself! She signed up for the online Bikini Model program, threw all her old excuses out the window and discovered what she was truly capable of! She is now one hot mama, and even did her very first bikini photo shoot to boot! Over the course of her 12 week transformation Tracy shed 8.8 kg (19.4 lbs) and 5 inches on both her waist and hips! Congratulations Tracy on an amazing transformation!

Tracy’s Stats:

Starting Weight: 64 kg (140.8 lbs)

Ending Weight: 55.2 kg (121.4 lbs)

Starting Hip measurement: 96 cm

Ending Hip measurement: 85 cm

Starting Waist measurement: 74 cm

Ending Waist measurement: 62 cm

Tracy’s Story: 

“Well here I am after my 12 week transformation with Hitchfit and I look back on it and think WOW, I did it, I actually saw it through, I finished something!! I achieved!! That woman in the mirror and in those photos is me… I’m the ‘After Girl’.

The ‘Before Girl’…. to be honest, never really had a big weight problem, I kept in ok shape and I lead a reasonably healthy lifestyle (reasonable according to me). However I was finding that after each of my 4 cherubs, and as I was getting older it was getting harder to get rid of those few extra baby kilos.

Over the years, those few extra kilos piled up and I found I was starting to tire and become lethargic more often… I was starting to feel old and creaky. My motivation would come and go. I’d have these little bursts of ‘go hard or go home’ then bang, Id hit the wall and give up… I’d tell my husband to crack the whip and push me… but even that wasn’t enough. In the end I’d worked out how to stand to look slimmer, how to be photographed to look slimmer and how to dress and how to disguise the troublesome spots… I was learning to live with it, and that’s not a good thing!

During these years my association with Micah developed after he started following me on Twitter, I noticed he was a personal trainer and definitely looked as though he walked the talk, out of curiosity I end up following him back to Facebook. Then came the transformations… OMG, I would look over and study every one of them, I loved them. What he was doing was simply amazing. I used to say to my husband I’m going to do that one day, his reply.. “I love you, but you’ll start it and never finish it”. I knew he was right and would let it go…

Then came Brandi’s transformation, wow!! Even though in her 30’s and way younger than me, I thought she looked amazing, what an incredible transformation! Yet again I was inspired and motivated, I needed to change I wasn’t ready to age gracefully, I wanted to kick its damn butt, I wanted to look and feel young again – I begged him to let me prove myself, after lots of nagging and constantly showing him Brandi’s pics, he caved in (ha, you’d have to be strong to resist!) This time I knew it would be different, not only did I not want to let myself down, but Id gained so much respect for Micah and Diana that I knew I couldn’t let them down – this 45 year old Aussie mum wasn’t going to be the first Hitchfit FAIL! So after an inspirational and motivational conversation with Lesley Maxwell (who is 55, awesome, and writes for Oxygen magazine) I was ready to go. I could be in bikini shape by summer! I was going to be able to walk up the beach (not get breathless) and not be self-conscious!! Look out you 20-something year olds, 45 year old sharing the beach with you!

Diana sent me my program, I got myself organised, revved up and off I went… I was into the first week and I found myself working out with tears streaming down my face, I thought Omg!! What have I done? I can’t do another 11 weeks of this!! But after corresponding with Diana and some reassuring, wise and motivational words I realised I was in great hands, she wasn’t trying to give an old girl a heart attack, she knew what she was doing, so I pushed on through. I took every day as it came workout wise and I got used to my meal plans and a new way of eating – wow so much food yet the kilos were dropping off me. I managed to work things around the family, my graphic design business and hubby’s building business, it was stressful at times but the saying.. “Where there is a will there is a way” rings true. Oh and being a little selfish at times and extremely organised helps.

I have to admit at one stage I started freaking out, I’d never really had much confidence in myself and am a little shy, I also tend to be a worry wart, and people’s opinions do matter to me. Friends were telling me I was getting too skinny.. it was then that I started to lose sight of my destination, I believed them.. I was so confused, I thought what am I doing, why am I doing this? I was at a crossroads – again I was going to fail. I told Diana about my insecurities, she explained things to me and set me on my path again, it was a close call! From then on I decided to keep the program to myself and even kept the whole thing off facebook, I couldn’t let myself be swayed by negative vibes…I end up spending a lot of my time hanging out in the motivational group…. hanging with the positive people…

My only other breakdown was when my husband went away for 2 weeks and I had the 4 children on my own… it was kind of running smoothly til one of the cherubs gave me some horrid virus that put me on my back. I decided to put the program on hold for a week (eating cleanly) and climbed back on the band wagon. Once upon a time I would have used that hiccup as an exit ticket. I knew things were different this time, this program had me hooked!! It was the first time that had ever happened.

Before I knew it I’d come to the end of the program, I was amazed at how my body had transformed, I honestly couldn’t believe it, still can’t. I walk past a mirror and go back to check me out. I even gained the confidence to do a fashion parade and photograph a big function for my girlfriend. And then after being inspired by Christine Purdue (an amazing fit beautiful 49yo),  I decided to organize a bikini shoot. It was sooo fun!  45 years old and doing her first bikini shoot, who would of thought. And who would of thought that Tracy the girl who never played sport and ‘ran like she was going to a party’ (my sports teachers words) would ever become a fitness freak. And in her mid forties to boot! If I can do it, I promise you anyone can.

My life has changed for the better and forever, I thank my husband and my 4 cherubs for their love and support (and their blissful ignorance of my little cranky outbursts). And I cannot thank Diana and Micah enough for giving me the tools to start and to continue on this journey of health and fitness, and thank you for the gift of confidence….. Confidence to be me, to be who I want to be, and not what everyone else wants me to be or expects me to be…. guys I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
