I couldn't believe my eyes … I had to weigh myself three times this morning! I can’t remember the last time I weighed this much. This is my pre-baby weight … and my kids are 12 & 16!
Since starting the program in June 2019 the program has offered me a new way to eat and enjoy every food group. There is no feeling of deprivation because anything I eat fits into the macro breakdown given to me by the twins. At first, there was a learning curve but with their support and others in the group, I quickly learned how to get the right macro mix.
The fat/protein/carbohydrate macronutrients assigned to me get plugged into MyFitnessPal. Everything I eat I record so no guessing is needed. The twins are easy to reach at any time with questions. They offer suggestions of food mixes to hit macro combinations. The ladies always encourage you to exercise/walk or just do something to move your body and get in motion.
When I started the macronutrient program based on a friend's recommendation I was skeptical. I have done every program out there including WW, Atkins, LowFat, SlimFast and eliminating food groups. When I was 13 years old I took Dexatrim to stop eating and felt horrible. Sure I lost weight but risked my health. A lifetime of dieting and don't remember getting these results of a slow steady weight loss and feeling good.
With the Macrotwins, I went below my goal weight and feel so in control of what I eat! I love the program and all the support. Since starting the program I have lost Seventeen pounds-17lbs-I had to type that twice to make it sink in!
June 2020 will be one year with Macrotwins and my skepticism is no longer. I have and will continue to recommend these inspiring ladies and their first-class program! I am forever grateful!
I have never in my life felt comfortable at the pool. I usually just hide under a beach towel. I went to try on swimsuits for spring break and literally cried happy tears in the dressing room.
I not only purchased a swimsuit but it was a bikini.
To be a part of your program is constantly having the support and a cheerleader in your corner. You all have made me see the true everyday progress instead of focusing on one HUGE goal. Although I had great success early on with the scale, there was more to the journey for me. I wanted all over health with a physic that shows that. And along the was have become this person of “the year of me.” I know this sounds funny but right prior to working with you both I said that 2019 would be the year of me. I found myself a mother of 3 that really had to re-prioritize herself as my children were grown and the last one a senior in high school. I felt a loss, not sure how to explain but wanted for the first time in a long time be the best version of myself for me. You both have been a true supporter of that journey.
Working with you both is easy and can be as hands on as needed. You have gone above and beyond with support for the ins and outs of everyday but also on those challenging times of travel. From tips for success with eating as well as home or gym workout programs. I started with you both before the app, and I had just as much success via email. BUT, the APP-game changer as it allows all your progress in one all put together area. You’re responsive and accessible as needed.
Hitting my goals, I believe I am still a work in progress. LOL. First it was a number on the scale, hit that quickly, but the overall goal is building the body of what I want to achieve, lean sculpted body. You both have made me know you have to trust the process and your body needs its own time to adjust to what you’re trying to accomplish. But you have also made me understand sometimes the intuit path you have to just “maintain.” Life happens and sometimes maintaining is alright as well. The support makes me rethink that you have to LOVE YOUR BODY, we are all made to be who we are and sometimes that is the hardest part. You both are superstars of making me look at the small gains of hard work and accomplishment. You have made me learn to be patient in the process, ENJOY the ride.
I have NO concerns about eating what I love. The hardest part I believe for most, if never having tracked food previously, you have to understand what makes up food. it is doable even for a blended family of 6, a working professional and grad student. You have to make it a priority and do not go in blinded. Food prep and planning is definitely a bonus. Also, I think people need to learn the difference between hunger and thirst. Drink the water-it is one of the key components to success.
MacroTwins nutrition coaching is the perfect compliment to all my hard work at the gym. While my goal was not really weight loss, I have lost 6 POUNDS of stubborn fat and noticed increased muscle definition. When you realize you can accomplish tough physical goals, then you are not afraid to tackle other big challenges life throws at you. For me, being fit and strong has made me a better person… and nicer mom.
I have been working with the Macro Twins since November. They are amazing. I have been trying to practice a healthy lifestyle for about the last 5 years. I go to the gym regularly and tried to eat healthy. I came to a point where I was frustrated because I worked out super hard I was starting to gain weight. At that point I went into the I will workout hard and “who cares” on the food. Well this did not help my cause.
In steps Lauren and the Macro Twins. What a blessing. She told me about macros and that I could eat anything I want as long as it fit my macros...even wine. Macros was a little overwhelming for me at first because I did not know a lot about it... not to worry Lauren and Lindsey were there to help me through the process... even navigating the holidays and a cruise vacation.
Initially I actually had trouble eating all of my macros...that’s right I was not starving or feeling deprived. This was the first time in my life that I didn’t have crazy cravings when starting a new eating plan. This is not a diet it is a lifestyle. My energy is high, my body looks and feels fit. I could write on and on about this program and my passion for the process but you probably tired of reading.
