Lost 7 Inches but Only 4 Pounds: Amanda's Macro Story

Amanda: I am 37 years old. I've tried every program out there. I've done paleo, I've done keto, I've done the low carb thing. I even, way back in the day in high school, did the cabbage soup diet. So I'm not new to fad dieting on any level.

I've always generally been good with my diet. I love healthy food, so that's never been strange for me or hard for me. It's just that I also like my non-healthy food, like my chips and my wine and my ice cream. So the beauty of macros and macro counting is that you have the ability to fit those things in and not feel deprived, and not feel like you're doing something so awfully wrong that it's going to just throw you off track. So it's been an amazing learning experience.

I was definitely new to macro counting from the beginning. I actually called my sister, who is not new to it, and had a panic attack on the phone, like, how am I going to eat this much food? I don't even know where to begin. Oh my gosh, I have to track all of this. It can be very daunting in the beginning because there's so much information and you feel like there's just so much to absorb and to learn.

But the beauty is that this is the only program I've ever been a part of that outright freely gives you that information. Nikkiey gives you such support and knowledge. She wants you to truly understand how these nutrients work in your body, what you need to build muscle, what different routines different body types need to get the results they're looking for, different cardio, things like that, that other programs just don't do. They all make it kind of one size fits all: you'll get these life-changing results in 30 days and be happy and have everything you've ever wanted. But at the end of the day, it's about putting the work in and knowing that everybody's on their own journey.

And what's beautiful about this community is that all of the WarriorBabes really support each other. It's daunting putting your before pictures out there on day one and saying, this is me, take me or leave me. But it's amazing the support you actually receive from women who have never met you, that you may never meet in life. Hopefully you do one day, because you do end up building relationships and getting to know these women and following their journeys and supporting each other. So it's really empowering.

I would say for anybody that's on the fence about joining WarriorBabe, do it for yourself. If you want to feel strong, if you want to understand how nutrition plays such an important role in creating the body that you want, and feeling fit and being strong for the rest of your life, jump in. This program supports you if you are having off days, or if you are just kicking ass and taking names for weeks and months at a time. Everybody is here to support you in your own journey.

I have personally lost over seven inches around my body, four of which was around my waist, half an inch on each leg, a quarter inch on each arm, and only four pounds on the scale. So it's amazing. I'm very happy with where I'm at and where I'm going. And I know that this is only teaching my daughter how to be a healthy and happy individual as she grows. So I say thank you.
