Hitch Fit Living Magazine Volume 5 - March/April 2016 | Page 27

At 55 years young. Rick knew that he was ready for his transformation. In his words he
was feeling "blah". He had watched the transformation of his wife Vickie, who at 60 years
young completely changed her life and has become one of Hitch Fit's most popular
transformation stories. He was an incredible support for her as she went through her
journey. Inspired by her success, he knew he was ready for his own journey in 2015.
Rick worked online with Micah for 6 months, he made the commitment to healthy
lifestyle changes and stuck with them consistently. After a 40 pound loss, his doctor took
him off his diabetes medication and cut his cholesterol medications in half. That was a
huge motivator for him to continue pressing forward!
Rick shed 69 pounds, but has gained so much through this process. He finally is off the
fitness roller coaster ride he's been on for the majority of his life! We are so proud of his
success. He and Vickie are so inspiring. Combined they have lost 120 pounds. We are
proud to have them grace the cover of this month's issue!
