The key ingredient I was missing was accountability... I've always been fully aware of what was necessary...and we frankly didn’t change much of my diet at all...it was the weekly check-ins and having a 'partner' in the process that kept the momentum going. Before working with MyBodyTutor, I wasn't dealing with fear—it was more frustration. I kept falling short of truly understanding what it takes to reach a weight goal. Honestly, I don't recall exactly how I found MyBodyTutor, but I think it was online. My hope going in was simple: get down to 15% body fat. The only thing that gave me pause before signing up was the cost...mainly because you feel like you 'should' be able to do it yourself without spending money. But there’s clearly value in having someone keep you accountable. I haven't tried other programs like this, but I can say my coach was amazing. He went at my pace and catered to my style of communication (via text for ease given competing priorities). The weekly tag-ups and accountability were exactly what I was missing to achieve my goal. And yes, MyBodyTutor helped me achieve my goal. I’ve reached a level of healthy body fat I believe will be maintainable for life. I now have a good sense of where my weight should sit, how much I can fluctuate within reason, and what it takes to cut down to 12-15% body fat as desired. I live a fairly healthy lifestyle...I always knew what to do...but having someone in your corner, 100% focused on helping you achieve your goals, is a supercharger for results. Achieving the goal shines a light on a path you can travel to repeatable results as desired.
