Lose Weight and Get Pregnant – 33 Pounds lost and new baby on the way for Jessica!
Lose Weight and Get Pregnant – Jessica’s lost 33 pounds and finally became pregnant after trying for 3 years!
I LOVE Jessica’s story, and I’m so happy to share it today! Jessica had been trying to get pregnant for 3 years to no avail. She was about to give up, but had discovered Hitch Fit. She realized that she needed to first put some focus on herself and getting to a healthier place! She tackled the 16 week Hitch Fit Online Weight Loss Plan –Lose Weight Feel Great. Despite an extremely busy schedule, working as a police officer and caring for her children, she did an incredible job, placing her health as a top priority. She lost 33 pounds in 16 weeks, but what was more amazing was with one week left in her plan, she discovered…she was Pregnant!!! I am so excited for Jessica and the new addition to she and her husband’s family. Here is her inspiring story, and I have a feeling you will be seeing her again post baby!!
(A note: losing weight does not guarantee that you will get pregnant if its something you are struggling with, but doctors do recommend losing weight if you are having trouble conceiving since being a healthy weight has a major impact on the ability to do so. Being overweight can cause a list of pregnancy complications, as does being underweight.)
Jessica’s Stats:
Starting weight: 215

Jessica’s Story:
“I have always been the “bigger girl.” In high school, I struggled to find clothes that fit and looked like what everyone else was wearing. I had to shop in the “special” (segregated) sections for plus size women. I had NEVER felt comfortable in my own skin. I kept picturing myself in cute, smaller clothing. What I saw in my head, did not match what I saw in the mirror.
In college, I lost some weight. But that was because I was a poor college student who didn’t want to spend too much money on food, so I didn’t. Of course I lost weight, but it came right back.
After I started my career as a police officer, my weight leveled out for a while. I had to get into shape to graduate from the academy. I was shown how to do some weight lifting, but my workouts were mainly running to pass the physical fitness test.
I then met the love of my life, a fellow law enforcement officer. We got married in 2006. My husband is a gym enthusiast. He got me interested in the gym life, but it wasn’t enough. I would always find a reason not to go to the gym. We work opposite shifts, so without him there to push or pull me to the gym, I just didn’t feel like going.
We decided to start a family. I quickly became pregnant. I know my starting weight was 206 lbs. In June of 2008, our first son was born. I don’t know what my post pregnancy weight was because, I didn’t care. How could I? We were too focused on our beautiful baby boy.
We then decided to add to our family. After trying for 11 months, I became pregnant. Again, my starting weight was 206. In December of 2011, our second son was born. I noticed that I had gained and retained more weight that time. At one point, I weighed 230 lbs. I looked at photos of me from the baptism in July of 2012. I was not happy with what I saw.
I began to try to work out more, but without my husband there, I had no idea of what to do in the gym. I felt out of place and uncomfortable. I began searching for something to help. I joined the “2013 New Year’s Challenge” at our community center’s gym. I found a 12-week online workout plan. It helped give me confidence in the weight room. It told me what to do, how many to do, and in what order. However, it did not give me a nutrition plan. I continued to eat the way I had been for years. In fact, sometimes, my husband and I would “reward” ourselves for a good workout by eating out or partaking in ice cream.
At the end of the 12 weeks, I had lost about 25 pounds. I made it back to 206 lbs. I could have sworn that I was destined to stay at 206 for the rest of my life. I could NOT get below 200! I continued to use the workout plan, but I started to notice that my weight was beginning to creep back up. I began to lose motivation. Why should I continue to work out, if it was not going to help?
Meanwhile, life continued to get more hectic. Our boys were getting older. They began to have more school functions and they are getting more involved in activities. So my gym time became less important as the schedule became fuller and fuller. Also, at the end of 2013, my husband and I decided to try for a third child. I tried to not tax my body too much. I pulled back on the intensity of my workouts and stopped taking some of the supplements I had been taking.
In 2014, I began to hear about Hitch Fit. I graduated high school with Hitch Fit Trainer, Sara Sutherland. I had seen her progress and results on Facebook. I was very intrigued. Then while I was on the treadmill at the gym, I saw multiple segments about Hitch Fit on Better Kansas City. I became more and more interested. I went home and looked over the website. I shared what I found with my husband. What I was seeing was really making sense to me, but I just wasn’t ready. I mean I was trying to get pregnant, why would I buy a weight loss program that I would have to stop or put on hold. But it always stayed in the back of my mind.
In 2015, I was still not pregnant and my weight had gotten up to 215 lbs. I had begun to give up on getting pregnant, I needed to start focusing on me. I had put off Hitch Fit because I wanted to get pregnant, but maybe I needed to get myself healthy and in shape for that to even happen.
I had wanted to do the bikini body program, but I was carrying so much extra weight I had to start with getting down to a healthier weight. So in July of 2015, I purchased the 16 week “Lose Weight, Feel Great” program. I was soon contacted by Diana. I filled out a questionnaire and explained why I needed to start this journey. I had LOTS of questions. With my shift work, I was concerned about eating my 5-6 meals at the optimal times. My sleep schedule, workout time and duration were different for each shift, which also threw off my meal times. I was determined to get it right this time
There were also lots of challenges. Like I had mentioned, my husband and I work different shifts, so while one of us is at work, the other is alone with our boys. We are what we call “married, single parents.” When we are not at work, we have the sole responsibility to take the boys to their activities, keep up the house work, make meals, etc. So finding time to get to the gym (when the daycare was open) AND make the healthy meals that my body needed, was not easy. My husband helped by cooking meat in batches, so all I needed to do was get the veggies and carbs cooked. We never got into the “meal prepping” we just had items available in the fridge, which worked for us!
I kept in contact with Diana, weekly. I updated her with my weight and measurements, my workouts, and my nutritional adherence. It kept me motivated. I loved reporting that my weight kept going down; my measurements were getting smaller. If I had any questions, I could ask and would have an answer!
By the end of my 16 week program, I had lost 33 lbs and about 9-10 inches off of my body! I had gone from 215 lbs to 182 lbs. But my most welcome surprise was that with only one week left in my program, I found out that I was pregnant with our third child! I had gotten my body healthy enough, so that after almost 3 years of trying, I had finally become pregnant.
This is only my beginning! You have finished reading only the first chapter of my story. After the birth of my baby, I plan on getting back to this weight and then moving forward with the bikini plan. I have goals that are yet to be met, so watch for me, I plan on going far.”
