BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I was doing it all alone! Not as fun!

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Was nice to get ideas for recipes and see others I know doing it!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Sticking to a plan was a struggle. Too little calories before working with you!

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Non scale victory is feeling better. Training myself to listen to my body and not eat just to eat. Scale victory is a little over 20 pounds lost! This could have been better I feel if I hit the macro numbers as I mainly focused on calories. I’ll message my pics.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I tried everything and nothing worked. I would do personal training work outs, run at the gym, beach body. I ate great during the week, terrible on the weekends (weekend warrior). Thought I could’t ever lose weight due to hypothyroidism, never ate carbs because my endocrinologist told me it would help with weight lose. I even tried Noom the psychology diet.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I lost 12 lbs and inches all around. My clothes fit better, I wore a 2 piece bathing suit, I feel comfortable and confident again. I don’t feel like I need to hide behind people in pictures, I know I still need some more work but I have some tools and knowledge to get me to my end goal.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Always loosing weigh in general for me, portions portions portions- Wow never knew my olive oil intake was super fatty on my "healthy salads" haha Keeping the weight off is always a struggle for me. Defiantly did not eat enough protein. Also I ever had quest chips or built bars in my life and now I'm a frequent shopper of them!

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Wins- Fitting in jeans (haven't worn jeans in more than 6-7 years) just never liked how they looked on my body. Feel amazing in my clothes, feel amazing in my bridal dresses for my events. Better understanding of portion control, best foods to eat for a successful day, better relationship with food. Proud to say I'm down in pounds and looking leaner and STRONGER!!!!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I have been on a binge and restrict cycle for as long as I can remember. I have tried every diet out there and nothing ever sticks.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

It is so freeing to realize you can eat whatever you want as long as it aligns with your goals. I can make room for treats, celebrations and just life in general. I am more active now then I have been in a really long time. I also feel like my face looks way smaller especially my double chin lol.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Consistency, once I started to binge I told myself well might as well enjoy and start over tomorrow but then tomorrow would come and I would make some excuse as to why I couldn’t start - stress, anxiety, kids not listening, etc. Now, I forgive myself and as Kelly says do the next right thing.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Overall I feel so much better. I’m not bloated, my confidence has increased significantly, my mental state has improved. I found a love for exercising and eating foods that make me feel amazing. I’ve lost 11 pounds but I think my non scale victories are more significant. Every part of my body is tighter and smoother. My muscles are starting to show and my clothes are much more comfortable. I have battled depression since having kids and my weight increasing to more than 20 pounds made every aspect of my life almost unbearable. Everything was harder - daily chores, work, caring for my kids, focusing mentally, the list goes on and on. Now I love myself so much more, I am making myself a priority. Exercising 6 days a week, tracking my food and pre tracking when I know I may be tempted. I am so happy I could cry. I still have about 10 pounds I would like to lose but I know with what I have learned I’ll reach that goal in no time at all.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Wanting but not committing to a plan, not knowing how to start, not consistently working out, eating whatever is fast and easy because we were busy and hungry.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

My proudest victory is sticking to HR 12 week program! Just wrapping up W8 and I’ve been doing full burpees, adding more weight to my reps, and pushing myself! I’m proud of sticking to this plan and will continue it! Another victory is meal planning!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Struggled with binge eating and insecurities.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I feel more confident, but still struggle with dieting.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Starved all day then binged for dinner. Did Weight Watchers for years, did 17-Day diet multiple times. Was taught carbs are bad. Depended on the scale.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Learned the scale is data, food is food (not good/bad and how important lean protein is and it can be fun and delicious to eat healthy!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Portion sizing was difficult, knowing what to order/make was hard, and being confident in the tradeoffs I was making with food.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I am MUCH better at making choices at the grocery store and restaurants. I don't feel bad for eating food that isn't so healthy and understand where I should make tradeoffs. I also feel WAY better about myself and the way I look. The scale no longer scares me!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Thought I was eating healthy and never measured anything. I never realized the extra calories I was eating by not counting macros. I am an emotional eater and would eat only to make myself feel terrible later on about it. Counting macros has changed my mindset completely.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

My clothes fit better- I do not feel so bloated. I even had to go to the last hook on my bra (not that I wanted to lose there but I could tell the difference.) I now have a better relationship with food and know that food is food- no good or bad food. I know to add protein to make me feel full longer and I have found new foods that I love. I realized the scale is just data. I probably did not work out as much as I should have but I feel like I needed to get a grip on my diet. With summer here I will have more time to concentrate on strength training. My hopes is that with my new found success with macro counting and the strength training, I will continue to lose weight, tone up and continue to get those lovely compliments from my husband - like “you’re looking really sexy!” That was just a little embarrassing to write. I also ordered a two piece bathing suit - where my stomach will be seen- for the first time EVER! So I guess my confidence is up too. I know I have a ways to go and will have bad days - but they aren’t the end all be all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I have always worked out, but am in menopause and have struggled over the past 5 years to lose more than about 5 pounds. I started eating clean in January and lost 13 pounds by the end of March, but once the shred came along I realized I had too many carbs and fat in what I was eating and needed to add more calories and protein.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I was finally able to lose the weight I wanted and feel so much better about myself again. I no longer hate being in pictures, and have a whole new wardrobe of items that didn't fit for a very long time! Now a lot of them fall right off of me.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Inconsistency.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Lost 12 pounds, jeans/pants are looser.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Late night snacking.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Just making better choices on what I eat everyday.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Terrible relationship with food, restricting diets, poor self concept and little motivation (because nothing worked), teaching my daughter that food is the enemy, working out constantly to try and keep the weigh off, regaining the same 5 pounds every weekend, planning to gain weight on vacation.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Down in both inches and pounds, healthy relationship with food, teaching my daughter that no food is "bad," exercising because I enjoy it and not because I have to, heading into the weekend prepped and ready, confident I can at least maintain while on vacation.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I tried everything else that seemed popular. Keto, Intermittent Fasting, smaller portions but nothing seemed to work and I couldn’t get motivated to exercise. I was at my heaviest weight ever and feeling very down.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Above all my self esteem and image as improved beyond anything in my past. I have quit talking down to myself and Kelly has helped me understand how important that is. I have been able to do things easier than In the past. Yard work, playing tennis, playing with the dogs etc.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I’ve been logging food for years and pretracking a little but totally guessing the portion sizes. I found that weighing made a huge difference! Also, in the past I may have had a plan for the day but I would easily consume more treats if I felt like it. I had no real accountability.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Now I diligently pretrack and don’t go over my allotment. I hit my protein goal and stay at my calories. I used the guidelines and saw huge success both with the scale and non scale victories. Non scale includes the way my clothes fit, the way I stand and carry myself and overall self esteem. I was consistent the entire time and therefore I reaped the benefits.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Knowing my correct macros.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Lost 10 lbs.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Just couldn’t get into a healthy routine. Felt like dieting was all or nothing. So would try to eat healthier and then give up when I couldn’t have a glass of wine, or a snack.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Feel better in my own skin! I don’t feel like I’m busting out of my scrubs! I’ve been more active with walking. When I pass a mirror I feel proud of myself for the changes I see.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I would restrict Monday-Thursday, then destroy any progress Friday-Sunday. It was an endless cycle because I would just overindulge on the weekends, causing weight gain.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I have a better concept of the nutritional value of foods and have become way more balanced in my choices. I prioritize things that I REALLY want. And use food for fuel!! I went on a weeklong vacation during the shred and still lost a pound that week. I noticed how mindful I was in preparation for the trip and during to set myself up for success!

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

I plateaued with weight watchers. While I had success before, it was really hard to lose the weight or see results after having my last baby. Macros changed your body composition and can see it working.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Better understanding of food and how it fuels and our bodies react. “There are no bad foods!” Also, making sure to pre-track and sticking to the plan works. My clothes are looser and can tell a difference in my body composition.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Working out too much and eating healthy, but still being too bulky. I wasn’t eating the right combination of macros for the lean muscle I wanted. I was working way too hard pre baby. Post baby, I was unable to work out due to injury so I knew it had to be 100% nutrition

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Lost 43 pounds total 7 months after having a baby without working out!!!! I fit perfectly now into pre baby clothes.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Staying committed when the weekends came, being in a group setting kept me

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

The macros made me aware of how much extra fat here and there I was eating, more aware of what I’m also consuming.

BEFORE COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Overeating.

AFTER COUNTING MACROS WITH KELLY:

Feeling better.
