Rachel's Tips for Transformation 1. You will not likely see quick changes. I could ‘starve’ myself over a weekend, and lose more weight than I did in my first two weeks on the program. BUT, each day of doing to right activities, builds over time, and the changes (both weight and body fat) become evident. Additionally, these activities eventually become your lifestyle, not just a diet. 2. Take meal prep seriously. You have to prepare. 3. It is likely you will struggle the first few weeks, getting everything down.( meal prep, exercise, drinking enough water, etc) Do not get discouraged! You’re making a major change to your life/ your routine. If it were easy, everyone would naturally know how to do it, and there would be no need for Hitch Fit. 4. Don’t just look at the number on the scale. The body fat changes are so important! 5. Be prepared for negative comments as people notice the changes you’re making in your food choices / your lifestyle changes. I can say 100% of my family members and close friends were positive and encouraging, but the same wasn’t true with a few co-workers. I had one tell me not to loose too much weight because it would make me look older. I had another criticize me for not having a piece of cake at an office celebration. All the comments both positive and negative were a reminder that even when I couldn’t see the changes, others could. 6. When you’re ready, make an investment in you, it will make you a happier, healthier person.” Need to get fit for your wedding? Check out Hitch Fit Bridal Bootcamp www.HitchFit.com/store/programs
