“Coaching was the missing piece I needed to truly understand how nutrition powers the way we look and feel. I learned how to use data (counting macros) and movement to manage my weight and energy not just temporarily but forever! Having a coach helped turn the learning curve into habits and routine behaviors. Managing weight and fitness has become simple and clear. I am so fortunate to have this knowledge and I have Coach Melissa to thank for that!”
“I was following my own macros & working out for quite a while. I had a little success but finally decided to take the plunge and get the coaching. I opted for full coaching and was matched with Dani Smith, we had our initial call and from the word go i really liked her, her knowledge and persona was very positive so i was glad i made the choice. Over the next few months Dani guided me and helped me in many ways, helping me understand that consistency is the key and keeping me accountable. She tailored my workouts to suit my equipment even when i travelled throughout the summer. I have lost weight and gained muscle, but more than that, Dani has taught me that i CAN go out to eat, i CAN go to dinner at a friends house, i CAN have a cocktail....its all possible and it doesnt mean im sabotaging myself! I know i wouldnt be where i am at today if i didnt have her help.”
“Excellent experience all the way around. I started with just MI in December to get my initial macros and then joined Nutritional Coaching on Feb 1st. I had a very good understanding of what I needed to do but just needed the fine tuning and support to get there. Being post menopausal really changes the dynamic and Catharine was able to effectively lead me through all of that. It takes a L O N G time to start seeing changes and I would have thrown in the towel if not for her. Highly recommend and I am taking all my learned lessons with me.”
“I don’t even know where to begin. Coaching was hands down the best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time. I struggled for sooo long with yo yo weight loss. I’d get on a good track only to get detailed and have fo start over again and again. When I knew the basics coming in but man I had no idea how much I didn’t know. Dani has taught me so much about weight loss and gain. It’s like a light gig turned on. She walked me through freak out over freak out and I came out the other end knowing more about the process and what caused the scale to move each time. She taught me how to trust myself and stop making excuses. She also has taught me how to give myself grace when things get hard in life and maybe the hard workouts aren’t as important as taking it a little slower or even resting. This time around I’ve lost 25lbs so far but gained so much knowledge it’s immeasurable. I’m so thankful I made the decision to get a coach. She really is the best.”
“I joined the Macros Inc. Facebook page about 10 weeks ago. After spending a week or two reading posts and seeing the support, I decided to take a chance with coaching. I answered some questions and was quickly paired with my coach, Sharon. We set up a video call and spent about an hour together. She was so easy, to be honest with about my struggles with losing weight and giving up on every trendy diet or exercise program out there. I told her I HATED exercising. She acknowledged that and asked that I at least give it a try. I'm learning the importance of protein, although I still struggle some days. I'm learning the importance of movement. Sharon encouraged me when I wanted to quit six weeks in because it felt like so much and I told myself I didn't have time. Macros, Inc and Sharon are exactly what I needed. The number on the scale hasn't made a drastic decline over the past 2 weeks, but I can tell a difference in my body. My clothes fit differently. I have more energy. I don't hate working out because it doesn't take a large chunk of my day. It's amazing to see where my mindset is after just 2 months and I can't wait to see where I'll be in a year!”
“I joined Macros Inc over 1 year ago, to lose weight,to feel healthier, and to turn around my pre-diabetes status at that time. I was paired with Coach Anna Pannarello, and am forever thankful and grateful for this!! Her encouragement, tips and accountability has been tremendous for me! As of this writing today, I have lost a total of 30 lbs(and have kept it off all while life struggles continued to happen), lost a total of 31.2 inches, decreased my A1c from 6.6 to 5.8 and increased my health amd self esteem greatly!!!! I can't say enough about my Coach Anna or Macros Inc.!!! I will continue to work with my Coach Anna and get to my goal weight, which I now have the confidence to do!!”
“My coach is responsive, supportive, knowledgeable, kind, and is truly coaching me. She gives me some ideas and I know I’m the one that has to follow through. I’ve learned so much from her and made so many lifestyle changes due to her gentle suggestions!”
“Andrew Pascoe is an amazing coach. He’s knowledgeable, experienced, encouraging and supportive. I appreciate how responsive he is. I know he has my back.”
“As I sit here reflecting on the last two years of my experience with Macros Inc. coaching, having been coached by two amazing coaches (Tahz and Jen) and several others during holidays, I have not enough words to explain how this has changed my life. I cannot say that it gave me my life back because that would be so inaccurate! It didn't give me my ''old'' self back, no! It gave me a whole new self with a much better life that has a sense of purpose, is healthy, and includes self-respect and self-love.
The coaching experience expands beyond better nutrition and training, because you must learn a lot about yourself and how you interact with your environment to make it work, it takes courage and time. And I was never alone, my coach was there with me all the way, with empathy, well-balanced advice, patient ears and on target calling me out when needed.
So yes, I'm 53 years old and I run marathons now, I'm learning to ski, and I'm doing so much better at work because I radiate that I'm enjoying my life. I also share lots of activities with my family and some of these include eating fabulous foods (although I've learnt that is not the most important 😁).”
“I had a phenomenal coaching experience. Catherine genuinely cares about what she does and is fully invested in making sure her clients are successful. I may have only worked with Catherine for 3 months but what I learned from her in that time I will carry for life. I have struggled for a few years to make myself a priority, but it took one chat with Catharine to make me realize that making time for myself does not make me a selfish mom , partner, or person. She emphasizes not over complicating the process and just showing up consistently. It’s this consistency with meal planning , moving more and mindful eating that has finally got me seeing the results I’ve only been dreaming about. There aren’t enough words to describe what a wonderful human and coach Catherine is and I’ll forever be grateful to have been placed with her.”
“My main reason for getting coaching was to switch off my executive function for a while. I tend to overthink and change things at the slightest setback, and having external oversight helps get me on track even after coaching. The coach gives me the number, and I just dial them in, no thought required. And I must say this worked well with Macros.inc. I lost around 9kg and about 6cm from my waist.
With regards to the before and after photos posted, the lighting is very different which can't be helped, and the posture in the after photo is more dynamic, but I think the difference in waist size can be seen.”
“I am on my 2nd round of coaching with Viktorija. When I originally signed up for coaching, I asked for someone who would be a little tough on me and educate me. She is perfect! My two motivations are educating myself to be my healiest and to be strong as i get older. I have learned proper portion control and have learned to listen to my body while I'm eating. Viktorija refocuses my direction by sending me little bits of videos/articles in areas where she sees me struggle. I am more confident! Thank you Viktorija for being my partner in my journey! I look forward to another six months and loosing the next 10 lbs!”
“Dani really helped to hold me accountable early in my journey until I formed good, strong eating habits. She was able to answer those initial questions we all have when starting this way of eating and provided encouragement to continue on when I had those times the scale wasn’t moving as quickly as I was hoping.”
“It has been great, very satisfying. While it’s my first experience to be under coaching meaning I have no previous to compare, I’m very happy with the general application and approach of the program and what Rachel can offer . It has been 6 weeks and my knowledge is expanding”
“Coaching was great, I think it is something that everyone should try for at least 6 months to help get them on the right path and be in a better mind frame and understanding.”
“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!”
