And its another Home Run for our friends at Hitchfit! As you can see these amazing transformations are not the sole property of bodybuilders and aspiring fitness models. Warriors come from all walks of life, but have two things in common:
1. They made a written in stone decision to do something about their health 2. They sought a reliable, trustworthy pro to help them. I don't need to sell you on this program. I want to share it with those who have gone through step one and are ready for step 2. Nate  Name: Sean Hedenskog Hometown: Lenexa, KS Age: 43 Height: 6’5” Occupation: Technical Instructor Weight Before: 378.6 pounds Weight After: 292.1 pounds Weight Lost: 86.5 pounds Duration: 8 months  I have always had a love affair with food! I seem to associate events in my life with the meals that I have had. My story starts with the summer of 2012 when I completely lost all sort of will power. Just like many I was going through many things in my life and I was turning to food for comfort. I was dining at Church’s Chicken two or three times a week. I would consistently find myself getting a sausage croissant breakfast sandwich, a chocolate long john and a 44 oz. Coke for breakfast at QuikTrip at least twice a week. It all came to a head when I was planning for a business trip to Hawaii and realized that all my dress pants wouldn’t fit!!! I had to go and get some new ones before I left for the trip. I was devastated as the pants I had to buy where size 54. Although I had been active trying to get in my 10,000 steps a day on my FitBit pedometer my company so generously outfitted me with, I was failing. I was out of control! While I was in Hawaii for two weeks I promised to start getting in shape and set a goal to walk at least 10,000 steps a day while I was there. I walked everywhere over those next two weeks and was surprised by how many steps I actually logged. I walked over 165,000 steps and 85 miles! I thought I was on my way to a better me. Alas once I got home I was once again reintroduced to my daily life and once again fell back into eating to self-medicate.  Lucky for me around the October/November time frame I saw one of the guys I had grown up with being featured on HitchFit.com. Tim Smith was able to take off over 80 lbs. using the HitchFit system so I reached out to him to see if it might be something for me. I mean what do I have to lose other than the weight and if Tim did it surely I could do it to. I was really inspired by Tim’s story and decided on Cyber Monday in 2012 to sign up for the 36-week Lose Weight program. I remember vividly the first day of the program. I weighed in at a whopping 378.6 lbs. The heaviest I have ever been. I was driven to succeed at this so I followed Micah’s directions to a T. I ate all my meals and snacks and was completely satisfied by the small meals I was having. My first workout, let’s just say that I don’t wish to ever have to work out at 378.6 lbs. again. The workout took me 3.5 hours to complete the entire work out. I remember coming home and promising my wife that I never wanted to work out at that weight ever again! From there I would make it a game to see how much time I could shave off my work out or how I could burn more calories in less time while doing cardio. Another factor in my weight loss is that my job takes me all over the United States. It doesn’t help your waistline when you are constantly eating foods high in fat, sugar and salt from restaurants. In order for this to work I found myself booking hotels that had kitchens and workout facilities. On Sunday night, when I would arrive to my destination I would seek out a local grocery store and buy my food for the entire week. I thought when I first started the program the hardest time I would have would be on the road. As I found out it was actually easier being on the road as I had complete control of my schedule and my meals! Where I had difficulty was at home. I have a wonderful supportive wife and daughter and was getting ready to welcome the newest member of our family in December. It wasn’t easy but I was able to drop the weight.  Here’s a look at my overall results:
Although my journey is far from over I am thankful I saw Tim’s testimonial and signed up for HitchFit. I often remind myself how far I had come in those 36 weeks by taking two 40 lbs. dumbbells and walk around the gym with them. I can’t believe I had been carrying that extra weight for over 10 years. Now I am happier and healthier and looking forward to the next step in my journey. Thanks HitchFit for getting me back to a newer, healthier version of myself! Sean SEANS PROGRAM CHOICE
