“Lara was supportive, enthusiastic, and authentic. I appreciated her realness, especially when I felt down on myself for not seeing changes as quickly as I had anticipated. Lara is a great coach with a lot of energy. She knows how to keep her clients engaged!”
“Jenny Evans is my amazing coach! Jenny is much more than a nutrition/endurance coach, she is a life coach. Losing weight, for me, is much more than eating in a deficit. Jenny has helped me create a healthy relationship with food and with myself. She encourages me, she supports me, and she kicks me in the a$$ when I need it. She provides the science behind the why with food choices and, she gives me resources to learn from. I feel like she has become a friend that I can lean on! I am blessed that Jenny is my coach!”
“I’ve tried Noom.com, my fitness pal, a gym nutritionist and just doing it on my own, but with Micros I’ve truly learned. I’ve had issues with eating too much eating too little and not having a good relationship with food in general. I’d over eat with my highs and lows in emotions, I’d under eat with guilt the next day. This not only results in little progress in weight loss, but also no mental growth. With Micros Coach I’ve learned how to manage my calories in a way that I now know when I’m eating and triggered by emotions, when I’m ok to enjoy a meal with my boyfriend and when it’s ok to say no. Before Micros I didn’t say no because I now know I lean into pleasing others instead of taking care of my goals and staying on track. With micros I no longer feel guilt if I say no to fast food, or a drink at the bar. I stick to my goals and have lost 11 lbs. I own my journey and don’t feel as discouraged if I gain a pound or two then go back down.”
“I have so much appreciation for the structure of regular check ins, chats, and video communication! I so appreciate my coach Catharine. As a busy mom of two young children, tracking felt like such a burden at first. Repetition, practice, the community and feedback from my coach helped the practice to fit into my lifestyle and make it a “new normal.”
I love the approach to flexibility and as much consistency as possible. I am lucky to be a Macros Inc client! I am only 4.5 months until a 12 month journey, and so grateful for every step. I’ve been able to lose 0.5 lb per week; which is perfect for my height, weight and lifestyle. Thank you Catharine and Macros Inc!”
“I lurked in the Facebook Macros group for about two years before I finally had enough of my own s**t and said I will sign up and find a way to make it work (financially). I was immediately discouraged to be matched with a male and kept thinking it was a sign I made a mistake, maybe I should ask to switch, etc. I searched in the Macros group and noticed others had the same feelings and all those posts were flooded with comments saying, “no, I felt this way too but I’m so glad I gave it a shot!” I am about 5 months in and SO GLAD to say I gave it a shot! I truly believe I couldn’t have been matched with a better coach. He’s so supportive in all the ways that HELP me — if I have a bad week, if I’m not hitting nutrition and/or exercise goals, if I’m feeling discouraged. I always make sure I try and recognize it so I can mention it in my check-ins, and the first few times, it gave me so much anxiety to open his message with feedback. I was already feeling disappointed in myself and ready to get in the mindset of “I can’t do this because I keep failing,” but 100% of the those times have been met with support, understanding, encouragement, and even praise for things that went well/improved. I’m sure he probably knew I was already being hard on myself about things I wish I had done better on, so having positive feedback despite those hiccups really helped me feel committed to move forward with trying my best. I would see so many posts about “consistency > perfection” and that kept coming back to me. As the weeks went on, I was pretty confident with my tracking, found some “go-to” foods I ENJOYED to keep on hand, slowly getting a little stronger with my workouts, and even seeing the scale going down. At 5ish months in, I am down 30 pounds — and that includes my “lull” I’ve had the last couple weeks with iffy tracking and missing many, many workouts. During those busy weeks where my tracking wasn’t as consistent and my workouts were ignored, I had my weekly check-in looking over my head. I tried to stick with most of my go-to foods and tried getting my steps in even though I wasn’t doing the exercises. I missed 1-2 check-ins and was starting to feel the “oh crap I’m falling off the wagon” feeling. I explained how life had been hectic and how badly I still wanted to stick with this despite my lack of attentiveness. I was immediately supported and validated, even being told I’m definitely not falling off the wagon. I’ve struggled with wanting to be thinner and healthier, but like many others, I would make all these definitive and sometimes drastic changes in my life and it wasn’t feasible long term. This is different. It’s reasonable and sustainable. I didn’t make any drastic changes in my life. I took some time to weigh and track foods I already eat and tweaked my routine to hit my generous macros. As time went in I’d try working on other areas — staying within my calorie/macro limits, getting all my workouts in/more reps, hitting my protein, adding more fruits/vegetables in my day, etc. I don’t (and won’t) eat foods I don’t like, I keep my “musts” in my life but am flexible for alternatives for things I don’t care about as much. If we have pizza and it sounds good, I will ALWAYS have a piece of pizza - maybe even sometimes I’ll have two pieces or I’ll have a breadstick - but I still track it and I still do my best to choose things for my other meals that stay within my calorie limit. For snacking, instead of dipping graham crackers in a can of frosting (ugh, so good though lol) I experimented with green yogurt mixed with peanut butter powder, with fresh fruit/graham crackers, etc, and 9/10 times the concoction I come up with tastes FANTASTIC, and I can feel good about it! It’s helped me so much figure out “wants” vs “needs.” If I’ve been great and on track but then go to a birthday party and there’s cake/ice cream and it sounds good, you can rest assured if the frosting is buttercream I will be having a piece. And I’ll enjoy it. And I’ll move on with my day. It won’t immediately send me into a downward spiral that I “ruined” the whole day (or the whole diet!) and indulge in every way possibly to “start again tomorrow.” It has all given me such a great sense of control. I’ve been feeling iffy, busy, and “stuck” lately which has me at a weight loss lull, but even as I slowly try getting back on track (with hiccups!) I continue to be met with encouragement and support. I can have a hard time letting things go, so if I don’t hit a goal I should’ve aimed for that week or something doesn’t go as well as I had hoped for, having a coach who is supportive rather than hard on me had made all the difference in my success and motivation to keep going. To remind me to keep up on the things I AM doing well on, and encouraging me to keep working on the goals I’m trying to improve. I have felt so great about the way it has improved many aspects of my life — as a mom of young kids it can be uncomfortable to start making choices that make you feel selfish, but I feel like I am such a more patient and energetic mom by taking the time to do this for myself. My workouts always give me my “me” time, and my walks do the same OR give me a reason for us all to take a walk. I feel confident most days when I DO choose to have a piece of pizza, a burger, or cake. I don’t spiral like I would have in the past (whether I was “dieting” or not). I have a better relationship with food that is only continuing to improve as time goes on. If I was at my goal weight and more confident about holding myself accountable for workouts, I would end my journey with my coach at the end of my contract. I originally signed up for 6 months to get my feet wet, and I’m very excited to sign up for 6 or 12 more months once it’s up so I can keep trucking with my loss goals and have that person to check in on me to help me hold myself responsible. I’ve been so overwhelmingly happy with the results I’ve seen in only 5 months (with almost a whole month of lots of slacking!) and am so excited about how much progress I’ll make in the next year. It has been so amazing to put myself first and work on this, because not only am I finally starting to feel more confident and healthy, but my daughters are able to see an example on a healthier relationship with food, dieting, and self image. It makes me excited for them to hopefully never feel self conscious about something because of overhearing what I say about my own body. My Macros has been slowly opening my eyes to more and more ways of how my life has improved as a result of signing up. I’m so grateful for how far I’ve come in the first few months, and I’m even more excited to see how much further I’ll be a year from now.”
“I was struggling to meet my goals, despite working out a ton. My coach helped me stick with a plan and supported me with whatever I was having difficulty with, while also allowing me the flexibility I needed.”
“My coach is wonderful! I think like many people, I don’t want to “bother” her outside of my check in. Well, she checks in with ME. That makes a huge difference.”
“I’ve worked with Corey since May 2023. My goal was to lose 15 lbs. Corey helped me stay accountable and motivated, and I’ve reached my goal. Trying to lose weight can be very emotional and Corey was always super positive and helped me stay in the right mindset.”
“Catharine was my coach and I loooved her. She was incredibly supportive and kind and thoughtful. She was prompt and available to answer all my questions; even the crazy ones!!”
“Rachel has hands down been the coach I've needed. I was stuck in a rut after counting Macros independently for about 9 months; my husband signed me up for a coach in January. At first, I was so nervous to share my journey, and well personal issues with a stranger, but Rachel went out of her way to share that we, including herself, are all human. Throughout my journey, I have hit many roadblocks, some that were, well embarrassing to share. But Rachel made it easy to keep pushing through even if it was maintaining my loss, and well, keeping myself healthy. Rachel has given me so much support, even sending comparison photos of my journey to remind me of where I started. The last few months have been a challenge with a new job and well, LIFE, but Rachel keeps showing up and helping me get back on track without making me feel like I have given up. Rachel has stuck with me through so many challenges and she is what keeps me going. I am looking forward to pushing through the challenges with Rachel and to reach all of goals.”
“Rachel is great, she cheers me on, helps me hit my goals, and always sends me studies or research nutrition and exercise focused to read. I am a bit nerdy, and love learning so I just think it's a great perk. Macros tracking has been a really good option for me as I truly struggle with overeating and learning to listen to my body. This has given me the opportunity to slow down, and be a little more mindful, and I'm starting to notice that I'm listening to my hunger cues more (plus I'm seeing results).”
“Rachel has been so supportive and kind but yet holds me accountable, which I need. She adapts to my needs easily and ideally, making this process very workable. I am so thrilled with the weight I am at (lowest since my 20's) and my strength. I have been maintaining this weight through many challenges thanks to Rachel.”
“Jen is so supportive, knowledgeable, and caring. I have learned so much from her over the years, and I appreciated everything she has done for me. I now feel like I have the tools and skills to carry on. Just wish I could afford to stay with her.”
“Rachel has been an amazing Coach. She pushes me to be the best that I can be. She is my greatest cheerleader. Not only does she push me to be better and to do better, every week she provides me with education whether it be in the way of nutrition or different types of workouts. I feel that I have learned so much from her not only about workouts/nutrition, but a lot about myself: I am stronger than I think. I CAN do hard things. I CAN do one more rep. I have learned to appreciate my body and what it can do. I am an amazing machine! I've also learned to listen to my body and to provide it with what it needs in the way of nutrition and rest. I was undereating and not getting enough rest and wondering why I was always tired. Rachel has taught me so much and I will be forever grateful to her. I'm so glad that I took the leap and enrolled in Complete Coaching. Thank you Rachel!”
“My coaching experience has been wonderful as she was able to hear what my goals are and guide me to meet them. She is so positive and encouraging yet able to keep me accountable to stay the course and see my goals met!”
“It has been fabulous! Caryn is so supportive and has helped me realize food is not the enemy. I have battled with food my whole life and finally I feel a loving relationship without sabotaging myself or progression:”
