Student Sheds 27 Pounds and 16% Body Fat
27 Pound Weight Loss Transformation: Sara Goes From 34% to 18% Body Fat!
Sara’s incredible 27 pound weight loss transformation proves that even someone who exercises regularly can struggle to see the results they want.
Despite being an athlete and training for a marathon by running up to 40 miles per week, Sara wasn’t losing weight. In fact, she actually gained a pound!
After joining Hitch Fit Online Personal Training and working with a personal trainer at Hitch Fit Gym in Kansas City, Sara achieved an incredible transformation.
She went from 172 pounds to 145 pounds, reduced her body fat from 34% to 18%, and went from a clothing size 10/12 to a size 6!
But the greatest part of Sara’s story wasn’t just her own transformation. She inspired a friend to make healthier choices and lose 30 pounds too!
Believe. Transform. Inspire.

Sara’s Story: Running 40 Miles a Week and Still Not Losing Weight
“I have always been athletic and went to the gym on a regular basis, but I just wasn’t seeing the results that I wanted.
In fact, I ran a marathon in June and after training for six months, running upwards of 40 miles a week, I actually ended up gaining a pound!
I couldn’t understand how I could be doing all this running and not be losing weight.
So I emailed Diana, and she immediately got back with me telling me what I could expect with their program.
One thing I really liked about Diana and Micah is how much they genuinely care about your success and are willing to work with you whatever your situation might be.
I knew right then that this was something I had to do.
My clothes were getting too tight, and I couldn’t afford to buy a whole new wardrobe.
But how much better it feels to be buying smaller sizes than bigger ones!
I went from a size 10/12 to buying size 6 on a regular basis! I never thought I’d be a 6!
Balancing Work, School, and My Hitch Fit Transformation
I was getting up at 5 sometimes to get my cardio in, going to work all day, then going to class until 9 or 10 at night, and then hitting the gym when I got home.
There were definitely times I didn’t want to go, but every time I went, I felt better.
I never regretted the times I did go to the gym. I ALWAYS regretted the times I didn’t.
Before starting weeks 9 through 12, I trained a couple of times with Josh Sehorn.
This training was completely different than what I did for the marathon, and I loved it!
Each time I got a little stronger and actually looked forward to it.
4 Lessons From My Weight Loss Transformation
1. If You Really Want to Change, Don’t Wait!
My only regret was waiting as long as I did.
You are always going to be busy. If you wait until you are not busy to sign up, you’ll never do it!
2. Plan Your Meals
I prepared them all on Sunday and just packaged them up in containers so all I had to do was grab and go.
If you know you’re going to be out of town or be going out to eat with friends, do your research.
You can stick to your plan pretty close if you try. It’s much easier to resist temptation too if you go in with a plan!
3. Find a Friend Who Will Support You
I had a great friend that went through everything with me and was that little bit of encouragement when I didn’t really want to go to the gym or I wanted to break down and eat candy.
4. Listen to Diana and Micah
They know what they’re talking about.
There are a TON of philosophies out there. People at the gym are always willing to offer their advice or tell you that you’re doing something wrong.
Thanks Diana for all your help!
One of the most incredible parts of Sara’s journey wasn’t just her own transformation.
By watching Sara make healthier choices and seeing the changes in her body, one of her friends was inspired to begin her own weight loss journey.
That friend lost 30 pounds too!
That’s what Hitch Fit is all about. When you transform your own life, you have the opportunity to inspire others along the way.
