Mom of 4 Sheds 16% Body Fat and Gets Shredded

I’m so thrilled to share Trisha’s story with you today. This firecracker is a mother of 4 young children and she has been SO much fun to work with! Trisha started off with a Lose Weight Feel Great program, but part way through decided she wanted to tackle a Bikini Model Program and take things to a different level, so that’s just what we did! This girl kicked some butt, she was a woman on a mission, she had goals and she wouldn’t let anything stand in her way of achieving them! She started her Hitch Fit journey off at 166 pounds and 26.5% body fat, and by the end of her Bikini program she is a lean 10.3% body fat and 131 pounds. Moms…be inspired!!! This little lady has 4 kids and is a true example of where there is a will, there is always a way!! Congrats Trisha!!

Trisha’s Story: 

“Greetings all, my name is Trisha Schimings and I am a mother of four young children ages six to 19 months.  After the delivery of my first child I was 232lbs and struggling to lose the weight.  I was walking every day and dropped 30lbs before I was pregnant with my second child six months later. Both the third and fourth pregnancies started at 175lbs and ended around 180lbs.

After I was able to resume exercising I began working out on my own with various Xbox Kinect fitness games.  With these I was able to get down to 169lbs, but no further.  It was a very frustrating plateau.  That was in January 2012; I was at a low point and did not want to continue any more.  I just wanted to quit altogether and eat!

I started searching bodybuilding.com and I came across a post from Brandy Wisdom talking about her transformation and a link to the Hitchfit site.  I decided at that moment that was what I wanted.  The next day I called the Hitchfit gym and left a message.  I was surprised when Micah himself returned my call a few hours later and took the time to explain to me where I was going wrong.  My cheat days were excessive and turning into cheat weekends.  Any progress I made the week before was erased on the weekend.  His advice was to do the Lose Weight Feel Great program.

I did the LWFG program for 10 weeks and had great results.  I was down about 30lbs at this point and excited about my progress.  For the first time in years I was getting back to my pre-baby body.  I decided I wanted to go one step further and spoke with Diana about switching to a Bikini Model program for 9 weeks.  The diet was stricter, the cardio was more intense.

With the support of my husband and kids I pushed through the program with all of its emotional ups and downs. The cardio, the diet and especially the tabatas are not for the faint of heart.  In addition to the physical benefits you develop a mental discipline that is equally as important to keep progressing.  The last week was incredibly hard with the carb cycling, cardio and drying out.  I stuck with it right up until the morning of my photos.  I finished the program at 131lbs and 10.3% body fat and in the best physical condition of my life.  It feels so great to go to the beach in a bikini and not be self-conscious.

Thank you Diana for all of your support, this journey would not have been possible without you.  What I finally understood is that I’m doing this change for me.  Until I understood that I could not commit myself 100% to it.  My first goal is accomplished and now I am looking forward to starting the Fitness Model program next February.  I’m excited to see what I can achieve in the coming months.”
