Eating More and Losing Weight at 42 After CrossFit Burnout

Ines: I am 42 years old. Prior to WarriorBabe, I was working with nutritionists, so they were always telling me what to do and when to do it. After our relationships would end, because I would get the results that I wanted, I would be okay for about a month and then the pounds kept coming on, and I never understood why. I realized afterward that the why is they taught me how to cut, but they never taught me how to maintain and how to live forever.

They always had me in a major deficit too, which I knew wasn't the best way for me, especially with the way I'm built, but I just went along with it because they know better than I do. So I realized this was not the right approach. I didn't want to work with someone who was just going to make me eat 1,100 calories a day, let's say, for the rest of my life, because that's not even remotely feasible.

I stumbled upon WarriorBabe via an Instagram ad, and I started looking into it and what it was about, as well as Nikkiey, and I was like, wow, this is amazing. She did this all on her own, and I want to learn. I want to know all the tricks and tips that she knows, because this is going to be me forever. I need to do this forever.

So I purchased the product and dove straight into the modules and absolutely loved it. I loved what she was telling us. I loved the positive energy. I loved knowing that she was also telling us how to work out. I did CrossFit for over five years and just got exhausted from it. I just didn't want to do it anymore. I wanted to go back to a regular gym and go back to doing regular workouts.

So I broke up with CrossFit and ended up joining a regular gym, and her workouts have been awesome. She tells you what to do. It's very programmed out as to how your week should be, so it's been super easy to follow.

And the eating. I can't believe how much food I'm eating and I'm still losing weight consistently. It's been three months now and I'm down a couple of dress sizes, and it's just been amazing. I feel great. I feel that I look great, and I'm looking forward to the rest of my journey. I know I still have a decent way to go, but I can see the end, and I see the end being that I can eat a lot of food forever, and this is absolutely amazing.

So I'm definitely looking forward to being where I want to be and not living on 1,100-calorie days. Even now, I'm eating so much food and I'm still losing weight. I am blown away at how much it's fixed and changed my metabolism, so that I can have an enjoyable meal without suffering over, now what am I going to eat? I'm starving, and I can't because I'm trying to cut. That's never the case for me now. I'm always fully satisfied when the day's over. I'm like, I'm stuffed, and then I weigh myself the next day and I've lost weight. It's amazing. So I am looking forward to getting to the exact place that I want to be, and I know that you will too.

I highly recommend this program. If you want to learn how to do it and do it on your own, this is the best way for you to do it. You need to learn how to do this.

With that said, the accountability is amazing too. I jump in the Facebook group. I read what everyone else is doing, and it's exciting and it's awesome. Everyone has been super helpful. Whenever I've posted, everyone's jumped in and helped me and guided me as to what I should do, Nikkiey included, which has been amazing. I definitely recommend using them. They are all there to help you. We all want to help each other.

Also, jump on the Q&As. Even if you don't have the time, jump on early and raise your hand. If you aren't able to stay on the whole time, Nikkiey gets to you, and she gets to you pretty quickly. So definitely be involved. You will get more out of this the more involved you are with the group and with the team. Nikkiey wants to help you and wants to teach you how to do this. So it's absolutely amazing, and I wish you the best with this.
