“When I signed up for coaching, I was in an "okay" place. I had been maintaining my weight for about four months, but I knew I could get more out of this phase of my nutritional journey: more food, more enjoyment, more EVERYTHING.
So I signed up for complete coaching in the Black Friday Sale in November 2020. I added fitness at the very last minute, even though I felt the nutrition was more important to "finding" my true "maintenance range."
I am so glad I did.
The nutritional part of coaching became the sideline, and the focus rested with the fitness aspect. While I have my NASM-CPT, FNS, CES, having Braden help me break through my fitness plateaus and really find my strength - and GROW my strength - and that has been pivotal in this phase.
I am eating 200 more calories now than when I started Maintenance, and I am maintaining at a slightly lower weight. I am close to squatting my body weight, which - as someone who NEVER had been a BB junkie - is huge for me. Body recomp IS happening, and I know for a FACT it wouldn't be happening if I hadn't had Braden in my corner. I told Braden I needed a "buddy," and he has been more than that. He pushes but encourages, he listens and cheers, he doles out the tough love when it is necessary.
I extended my contract before I even hit three months (I had originally signed up for six months) to a full year, and I know I will be "re-enlisting" before my year has finished....I still have goals!”
“It has been a year since I decided to give macros a try. I had been working out and eating pretty healthy but just plateauing. I met with Braden, my coach for the first time and he was so confident that I was going to lose fat and get ripped. His confidence made me curious, can this actually happen for me?
Wow. One year later and I’m not stopping. Macros will be in my life for years to come. I have hit goals I never thought I would achieve. I have bought a cage ! And lifting heavy! What ?! And loving my workouts. And love my relationship with food.
But the absolute best thing that this has taught me is I am making long term goals for my health. This new journey is in my blood now and I am in this for the long term benefits, no more quick wins.
And I have a new level of confidence. Yes, the confidence of walking around in a swimsuit and killing it…but also the calmness, the happiness, all of that, that equals confidence.
Thank you, Braden for helping me build this foundation of health that will last a lifetime.”
“My coaching experience was very positive, despite my own lack of commitment to the process. My coach, Colin, is a wonderful coach who didn’t give up on me, even after I gave up on myself. He provided sound advice about nutrition and health, which I can incorporate into my everyday life going forward. Colin made himself very accessible and I felt very comfortable reaching out with a concern or question.
I would definitely consider signing up again when the time is right for me.”
“My coach Steven helped me through my journey and got me close to my goal weight . He taught me how to count Marcos and gave me tips to reach my goal weight. I would definitely recommend macros inc for anyone starting out with macros .”
“Finding Jenny was the best thing that could have happened to me. She really is my rock, not only giving me nutrition advice but helping guide me through some very difficult situations in my life. She's been there for me emotionally as well as educational. Pictures are of me just after I finished 6months of chemo to present just over 3 months of hard work. I was with jenny last year for three months. I had to have a break to have an operation and some treatment. As soon as my treatment ended I signed back up. She's been with me every step of the way. ❤️”
“My coaching experience has been hands-down, the best decision I’ve made!! My sister originally suggested I try this program, and I am so incredibly grateful for her to have recommended it. I have always had fluctuating weight, and finally looked at myself in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw. I started this program December 31, 2022 at 213lbs, and am now 171lbs. Danielle, my coach, has been absolutely integral to this plan and has shown me a lot about my eating habits and my triggers, and how to accept that every day will not be perfect but if you continue on and try the next day, and keep going, you will see results with time. She has given me a healthier outlook on food and eating habits, as I am usually a stress eater. The chat function on the macros app is super convenient as well! When I’m feeling low about something, or when I’m feeling really great about some thing - sharing that with Danielle has been a great experience and I can’t say enough amazing things about her and this program!”
“After struggling with weight during COVID, I also received a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The steroids and treatment led to more weight gain, and after a year of chemo treatments and 3 surgeries, I knew I needed to work at getting my health back on track, including weight loss. Cheryl provided exactly what was needed as I slowly built the steps needed to not only lose weight, but regain strength, balance, and self-confidence. When I was hard on myself, Cheryl offered grace, mixed with a perfect dose of real talk. She provided not only facts about weight loss but also helped me visualize a new reality of a more active lifestyle and hope. Not only have I lost 30 pounds, I have maintained that loss through a very stressful year, using all the tools Cheryl shared with me. When I began, I couldn't complete one squat. Due to abdominal surgeries, I didn't have the balance to do many of the basic movement training required. Cheryl provided alternatives as needed until I was able to do more. She also provided a sounding board, which allowed me to embrace some mind shifts for a more healthy approach to eating, training, and life in general. I am leaving coaching for now, knowing that I have the tools I need to continue to maintain my health, while still being plugged into the Macros community online. I can't say enough about the positive community, and the professionalism of Cheryl as a coach (and friend!)”
“My experience has been life-changing. I signed up in March and cried to Kyle in my first call with him because I was so unhappy and nothing was working. I'm getting married on August 5th and just wanted to feel confident at my wedding. Since then, I've lost 24 pounds so far and feel SO good. During my time with Kyle, I also got a breast reduction and he coached me through maintenance macros and kept me motivated while I couldn't get my steps in and kept my eye on the prize. I jumped right back in as soon as I was cleared to walk again and work out. I'm happy to say that I didn't gain any weight through my recovery. Kyle was the best coach ever and taught me so much, and now I'm to the point where after my wedding I'm confident I can continue tracking in the app on my own with all the tools he has provided me.”
“I have really enjoyed the Macros Inc. experience and Lisa is a great coach! She's helped me self-reflect without ever making me feel like a failure. She helped me navigate weight loss and maintenance. Now I even fit into my goal shorts!”
“First of all, I want to say that I have loved working with Lisa and love the Macros Inc family!!! I think it's so amazing that you provide so many helpful options (the Macro check, the facebook page) at no cost, but offer coaching for the extra support that so many of us need. No one else does that!! I have told many friends "you don't have to sign up for a coach (or pay anything) unless you decide you want to, you can get started for free!!"
Lisa has been so helpful and motivational for me - I think she is the perfect person that could have been paired with me. One of the many things that have been so helpful is that when I get discouraged or need a little break, I can check in with her and she will offer other options and suggestions. This really helps to take that little break you need and not completely give up or derail! I've given up so many times in the past and I think if I would have taken that approach instead, I would have been able to jump back in a short time later. I feel like I could take any tracking/exercise problem or discouragement to her and she would help me figure out a different approach to help me maintain/reach my goals until I can get 100% back on track.
Lisa is kind and friendly and so great at responding, she is so on top of it! She is awesome at pointing out the positive changes I have been making, especially when I can't see them myself. I'm so glad that I got the coach and I'm so glad it's Lisa. I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time that I can turn this into a lifelong healthy lifestyle. I have more weight to lose and more muscles to build and I am glad that I have Lisa to help me through the journey!!!”
“From the start, my coach, Brenda was knowledgeable, interested in me as a whole person, and so very helpful. She always listened to me and offered options to meet my needs and lifestyle. She never ever gave me a "canned" response. She was approachable and responsive to my questions and concerns. She wanted me to be successful and offered research-supported articles when I had questions or needed more information. She has been the very best coach I could hope for!”
“My coach is Amber. She is very kind, and understanding. I experienced a flare of my chronic fatigue right after joining. My journey did not go as planned… but she has stuck with me… encouraging me all along the way!”
“Kellyanne was coach. She helped me across my own personal finish line. I went from 180ish to 155ish on my own over a year, and in three months she helped me get to 135ish!!! I needed help adjusting what I was already doing well to see better results. My macros were adjusted, my diet tweaked and step count increased. She worked my weight loss goals around my existing exercise. So happy with the results!!!”
