I've been with MI for a few years now. Over that time, I've lost over 100 pounds. At one point, I was down 130 pounds, but I gained back some after an injury. The difference? I've lost 100 pounds before - with Weight Watchers. I gained all that weight back once I stopped WW tracking, and even added some more. This time - yes, I gained back 30, but over a year later - without tracking, that's where it stopped. I've kept that 100 pounds off with zero exercise (changing that soon!) and without tracking. THAT is the big difference in having a personal coach from Macro's Inc. And the funny part - very little of what we've discussed over the past year is strictly nutrition related. Sure - lots of suggestions for me to get in more protein so I don't lose more of the muscle I had built up pre-injury, walk more, drink more water, but some of the talks actually ended up in a deep dive as to why/how I got so overweight in the first place. THAT was more important to me than how many grams of carbs I was eating. I'm not a friendly person - I keep my circle of friends very, very small because I don't trust most people, and don't like a bunch more LOL. But my coach stuck around even though my first years check ins were way less than stellular, and why she didn't exactly pry, she also didn't let me get away with BS answers. It had to be frustrating for her - so much knowledge locked up in her head, but a client who sent maybe 2 photos the entire first year of check ins. My coaching here at MI has been living changing - more likely life saving - because I was on my way to either an early grave, or a lifetime of aches and pains and being overweight and not being able to do the things I loved. Now I am looking forward to doing all the things - scuba diving, camping, fishing, maybe even a few more World Records, everything except for skydiving !!
