Ruts are normal, but they don’t have to stick. You can break free, and it often doesn’t take much to get started! Let’s take a look at 3 of the best ways to do it...1. Revisit your rootsWe all forget why we started sometimes — it’s normal. It’s even healthy — when we look back on the beginning of the journey, we realize how far we’ve come and whether we’re still aligned with our intentions. Ask how your goals and priorities have changed, and get super clear on what drives them. Then you can look at your current trajectory and see where you’ve been consistent (and where you haven’t). This makes it much simpler to find your motivation again and press forward with more excitement and energy than you’ve had in ages!

The fitness industry has a dark secret hidden behind promises of quick-fix results and unattainable goals.It keeps women jumping from diet to diet, always starting something new and then bouncing back, even when they know deep down that nothing is going to change.The end result is that you can try going on keto, low-fat, intermittent fasting, whatever the latest trend is… And still be pulled into yet another program making the same promises, using a different type of restriction.Typically, it also comes with the promise of absurdly fast results, and it’s so cleverly designed that even if you never see lasting results after doing everything right, it’s nearly impossible to resist coming back over and trying again…No matter how frustrating or difficult it becomes!These companies pull women in by using complicated systems that only work under extremely specific circumstances.Keto is a perfect example: Ketosis only kicks in when carbs are almost completely absent from your body… And at the moment you reintroduce carbs to your diet, this fat-burning mechanism grinds to a halt.Intermittent fasting relies on avoiding all food except for within a very specific window of time. But outside of that time, you may be constantly battling hunger and fatigue until you’re even allowed a snack.While some women have the time and willpower to get everything absolutely perfect, this lifestyle isn’t realistic for the vast majority of women. Plus, it’ll make you miserable faster than you can say “low cal”!If you understand this secret and how it’s designed to keep you hooked on programs that never work, you can take back control and turn the tables on these unrealistic and unsustainable diets forever.I can attest to this… I was on brutally restrictive plans in my competition days, and once I discovered why I could never see the results I wanted unless I put my body through hell, everything clicked into place.Since then and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked out about 3-5 days a week, eating a sustainable and enjoyable diet that allows me to stay toned year-round without the ups and downs most nutrition plans are infamous for.I’ve never looked back since. Restrictive diets don’t work, plain and simple — look at what happens with those “success stories” months or years later and that will be abundantly clear.I can show you the same step-by-step process over 8,138 women have used and continue to use right now to make and KEEP progress they never found with any restrictive diets!

More sessions, not longer ones If you want to increase your cardio and it’s actually going to help you move toward your goals (i.e. you’re not overdoing it), don’t just extend your sessions — you’ll benefit more from distributing it more evenly over extra sessions. This helps mitigate against fatigue as long cardio workouts drain a ton of energy. By distributing the same total amount of cardio across more days of the week, you’ll typically notice more consistent energy levels and be able to enjoy life more in general! So don’t be tempted to go through it all at once.

In this fire episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott calls out one of the most toxic patterns women fall into: scale obsession. If your day starts (or ends) with stepping on the scale and letting that number decide your mood, your confidence, or whether you “deserve” to feel proud — this one’s for you. Nikkiey breaks down: Why the number on the scale is incomplete data What you’re really chasing when you say you want to lose weight The emotional trap of weight-based identity How to shift your mindset from shrinking to building And 10 powerful ways to measure REAL progress — strength, energy, resilience, and self-respect It’s time to stop chasing a smaller number and start building a stronger you.

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott dives into the most overlooked and underrated phase of any transformation journey: maintenance. You crushed your fat loss goals. You hit your number. You feel good… But now? The compliments slow down. The scale stops moving. And honestly? You feel kinda meh about it all. Welcome to maintenance — the phase where real discipline begins and where long-term success is either built or lost. In this raw and real episode, Nikkiey breaks down: Why maintenance feels mentally boring (but why that’s actually a GOOD thing) How to deal with the loss of external validation after fat loss The exact markers that show you're crushing the maintenance phase What to focus on instead of the scale And why this phase is where your identity really gets locked in If you’ve ever reached your goal weight and thought, “Now what?”, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to live in your results — and never start over again. Spoiler: The flex isn’t losing the weight. It’s keeping it off without obsession. Let’s go.
In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott pulls back the curtain on a truth most women need to hear: your fitness tracker is lying to you. After being at a tech conference in DC, where AI food tracking apps became the hot topic, Nikkiey dives into why relying on calorie burn estimates, smartwatches, and photo-based food tracking is sabotaging real progress. She breaks down the hidden dangers of outsourcing your fitness journey to devices that can’t possibly understand your metabolism, hormones, or habits — especially if you’re a woman over 40. With her signature tough love and science-backed approach, Nikkiey gives you the real markers of progress to track, the mindset shifts to make, and the tools to use without becoming a slave to them.

You’re not lazy—you’re misaligned. In this episode, Nikkiey explores why your habits don’t match your goals, and how vision, identity, and strategy are the real keys to transformation. Discover how to get crystal-clear on who you want to become, start thinking like her, and build personalized systems that support her. Because when those three elements line up—motivation fades away, and consistent action becomes effortless.

Are you chasing heavier weights but still not seeing the muscle definition or strength you want? In this fire episode, I’m breaking down why the mind-muscle connection is the most underrated—but powerful—tool in your training. We’ll dive into how tuning into your muscles (instead of ego-lifting) can completely shift your results, protect your joints, and unlock strength you didn’t know you had. I’ll walk you through the science, share real examples, and give you practical tools to apply today. If you’ve ever said “I just don’t feel it where I’m supposed to”—this one’s for you.
