"I signed up with Macros Inc in August 2025 just after having hernia repair surgery. I had been a member of the Facebook group for a few years and had successfully used the information to lose and maintain on my own but noticed my weight had crept up over the past several months and I couldn't seem to get my head in the game even though I knew exactly what to do. I knew I needed the accountability.\r\n\r\nI was matched with Colt and he provided clear and realistic coaching based off my goals. With his help, I had no problem dropping the unwanted weight. I even surpassed my original goal and got to a level of leaness that I didn't think was possible for me.\r\n\r\nColt worked with me through the transition to maintenence and was extremely knowledgeable and provided the resources to be successful.\r\n\r\nAs amazing as his coaching had been up to that point, I want to express how invaluable his coaching has been as I go through a time of struggle. Life got hard, as it often does, and all of a sudden, I no longer had the same capacity as before and my consistency wavered. I worried about being a disappointment and a burden to my coach because thats how I felt about myself. I wanted to be upfront and honest about my struggling and Colt met me with absolute kindness, understanding and gentle guidance. He has really taken the extra time to talk me through the tough times and help me understand the behaviors and emotions driving them. One message from him that really stood out to me during one of those times was this,\r\n\r\n'You don't need to apologize for repeating yourself or for feeling like you are. And honestly, you don't need to apologize to me at all. Not for struggling, not for having a bumpy stretch, not for needing to talk something through more than once. If we need to have this conversation 100 times, that's fine. That's what I'm here for.'\r\n\r\nColt's support, knowledge and compassion has made my coaching experience with Macros Inc absolutely priceless. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking guidance in nutrition or fitness."

"In April 2025, I decided to get a coach because I had been stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting for years. I already knew how to count calories and track macros, and I was always successful at losing weight for a few months. But when summer rolled around or the Holidays came, I\u2019d try to maintain my progress\u2014and the weight would slowly creep back. I was tired of it. I didn\u2019t understand maintenance, and I couldn\u2019t seem to make it work.\r\nSo, before summer 2025, I started working with a coach and started with a deficit. Then I switched to maintenance over the summer. That summer was better than any other, but honestly, I still gained five pounds. It was still a huge eye-opener: maintenance calories aren\u2019t that far from deficit calories! While that was an important lesson, it also made me feel like I\u2019d be on a \u201cdiet\u201d forever\u2014constantly relying on self-control and willpower, living with a sense of deprivation.\r\nFive extra pounds wasn\u2019t a big deal, but getting back into a deficit in September was HARD. I felt frustrated and deprived. Normally, I would have given up and eaten whatever I wanted until Christmas, trying to minimize the damage, constantly feeling guilty for not being in a deficit. But this time, my coach held me accountable. I logged everything\u2014even foods I thought were \u201coff-limits\u201d (like pasta, bread, chocolate). And that\u2019s when I had the biggest aha moment of my life: I could fit those \u201cforbidden\u201d foods into my macros and STILL lose weight!\r\nFrom then on, I kept losing weight until Christmas, but this time I included the foods I truly enjoyed. I realized all my previous diets had been way too restrictive, which made me feel deprived and led to overeating whenever tempting foods were available\u2014restaurants, parties, dinners with friends or family\u2014because I thought I\u2019d never be allowed to eat them again (or not often enough). Now, by incorporating those foods into my daily meals, I no longer feel deprived. I can enjoy treats occasionally without guilt, frustration, or that sense of scarcity. It\u2019s freeing!\r\nSo, will I always have a sweet tooth? Yes! Will I keep making my heavenly, absolutely DIVINE homemade fudge at Christmas? Absolutely! But now I know those treats can fit into maintenance, and I\u2019m okay with returning to healthy habits afterward. Or even a short deficit if I overindulge for a short period of time. I can balance it out. Maintenance is for life\u2014and for the first time, at 46, I\u2019m happy with what I eat. I\u2019m not denying myself the foods I love to control my weight. I can manage my weight AND enjoy the foods that satisfy me. I\u2019m finally free from the deprivation mindset and the guilt that came with it. I won\u2019t always be perfect and that\u2019s ok. But I know exactly what to do now. It\u2019s life-changing!"
