I absolutely LOVED my coaching experience. When I joined it was because I had been successful losing weight by tracking macros but over a 2-3 year period I was slowly creeping back in weight and having a hard time staying motivated by myself. I signed up because I recognized that I needed someone to be accountable to as well as having someone help me through the process. Coach Keshia did that and then some! She was great about first wanting to understand my goals and how I have lost weight in the past, what my day-to-day was like and how I liked to train. From there she created a custom strength training program for me and over time we adapted that by either changing it from 5 days to 4 days and switching out some of the exercises. Coach Keshia also gave me some tough love when I would complain about the scale not moving and she would point out that some of the food/drink decisions I was making was impacting the progress but that was OK. She also did a great job of making sure that perfection was not the key, consistently was the key. The game changer came about when she could tell I was exhausted from being in a deficit for so long and she told me that while I had a number in mind to get to that she felt it was time to STOP the diet and transition to maintenance and she helped me through that mental shift. The thing she helped with was getting me off the scale and just live in maintenance and just get used taking your measurements and seeing how your clothes fit. It has been a few months since I got on that pesky scale and it has really helped me big time. I was actually sad to end my coaching engagement but over the past year Coach Keshia shared articles (she knew what a nerd I was and loved the science behind this), podcasts, and books that have all gotten me to a place that I feel good about doing this on my own. She was great at talking me off so many ledges, looking at food menus when I had work dinners and helping me pick out what I was going to order (my co-workers all became obsessed with what she would recommend to me), to giving me that boost of confidence when I would send pictures or videos. She celebrated my successes and she kept my spirits up when I was feeling down. Like I said, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED my coaching experience and it was the best thing that I have spent time and money on!
