Lindsay’s Story:

“My name is Lindsay and I am 32 years old.  I’ve always been a pretty active person.  When I started high school I decided to join the cross country running team.  I had never really ran long distances prior to this but once I got the hang of this I became quickly addicted to running.  I always had the typical mentality of a teenager/young women that I was fat (which I wasn’t) and needed to lose weight and that cardio was the best way to achieve this.  My mentality back then was like so many others I knew – “Oh no, I don’t want to lift weights cause I don’t want to get big.”.  Looking back on the earlier years, I wish I hadn’t spent as much of my time not being happy with myself when I really had no reason to.

Fast forward about 13 years to my wedding to the most wonderful and loving husband. About three years into our marriage, we decided to start a family.  Something that we both thought would be simple due to our healthy and active lifestyles in addition to the fact that my mother and both of my sisters had no trouble getting pregnant, turned out to be the exact opposite. After 6 months of trying, we ended up with a positive result. It didn’t last however and after a miscarriage we were devastated. We wanted to try again right away, but still after a year with no results, we made the decision to try the route of fertility treatments.

The initial treatments were unsuccessful and the process started to take a huge toll on us both mentally and physically. I became depressed and started to gain weight to the point where I was the heaviest I had ever been. Although we never stopped trying to get pregnant I had come to the realization that I needed to start to focus on ME and start feeling better about myself and about the fact that children may not be in the cards for me in this life.

One day, a friend had mentioned to me about her daughter-in-law (Trisha Shimings) who had completed a Hitch Fit program and she sent me the link to her testimonial.  I couldn’t believe it.  I’ve seen before and after pictures online but I never really knew if I could believe it or not as I didn’t know the person and couldn’t prove the photos weren’t photoshopped, etc.  Since I knew this story was for real, it really intrigued me.  Trisha rocked it!  I contacted Trisha to ask her more about the program and I also went to the HitchFit website and began to read through other testimonials.  The more I read about the obstacles and personal issues others had faced, the more inspired I became. I thought to myself “hey quit feeling sorry for yourself. There are people out there that have been through worse and look what they have been able to accomplish.”

I ran across Brandi Wisdom’s story and felt I could compare my body shape and size to hers.  She had such success as well that I thought if she could do it, then so could I. I then contacted Micah and asked what program I should purchase.  I didn’t want to do the LWFG as I felt I wanted more than that and I was ready to aim high for my goals and wanted to dive in full force.  He suggested the bikini model program and I agreed.  So then I started my journey with Diana and the bikini model program.  I was so excited and couldn’t wait to get started.

At first the meal plan took some getting used to but being organized is the key to sticking to a meal plan and after a couple weeks of eating less carbs than I was used to I began to not miss them.  I am a huge lover of sweets, especially after dinner but I managed to control these craving with believe it or not…natural peanut butter!  Instead of cooking with the fat or adding it in one of my last meals I would make my dinner without it and then I would eat my allowed amount of fat in natural peanut butter on a spoon afterwards and treated it like my dessert.  It actually worked for me!  The workouts were very manageable at the beginning…not easy but manageableJ.  Towards the end of the program, I started to feel like all I did was cardio and weights most of my day but it was all worth it.  I worked out at home in my basement and I found this to really help me because I didn’t have to waste extra time driving to and from the gym and packing a gym bag.

I think continually seeing progress made me want to continue and enjoy what I was doing more and more and the 12 weeks really didn’t seem to take that long to pass by.  My husband and my family always supported me and always commented on how dedicated I was.  When I put my mind to something I don’t turn back.  They couldn’t believe my motivation, my discipline and my ability to resist temptations.  I think I was able to be this way and follow the program 100% because I still had in the back of my mind that one day I would get pregnant and getting back into shape was the start of the positive change towards that goal and increasing my own self-confidence.

Since completing the program, my husband and I decided to try fertility treatments again but this time more advanced options.  I am so happy to say that I am currently 5 months pregnant with TWINS!!!!  We couldn’t be happier and still can’t believe that we are being blessed with not only one child, but two.  I never thought I could be so lucky, especially after all I’ve been through.

I can definitely thank Diana for helping me and guiding me through this program to achieve not only one goal that I had (getting back in shape) but also my second goal now to finally become pregnant.  I am sure even if the weight loss wasn’t what helped me get pregnant it will have at least helped me in carrying the twins and hopefully get me back in shape more quickly once the babies arrive.

Thank you also to Trisha Schimings for sharing your story and your tips with me to get me started on this journey.  I plan to do this again after the babies are born so that I can get my pre-pregnancy body back…and now I know I can do it!!!  I can only hope that my story inspires others like many of the other HitchFit success stories inspired me.  I am so happy I found Hitch Fit and if you are looking for happiness within yourself and leading a healthy life then I highly recommend Micah and Diana’s programs.  They work as long as you follow them.  There is no secret to being in shape.  It takes hard work, discipline and organization.  You can do it…trust me!”
