Skinny Fat at 49: How Brenda Stopped Under-Eating

Brenda: Hi there, my name is Brenda Hughes. I'm a 49-year-old mother of three teenage sons and currently a part-time account specialist. I started my fitness journey two years ago as I was totally out of shape and just plain skinny fat.

I saw an ad on Facebook for a free 15-day challenge by a trainer, Lindsay, and I figured I could do anything for 15 days. I went on to complete that three times, followed up with her six-week challenge and another program she had, which was called Sculpt.

I reached my goal weight and realized I just looked skinny. It wasn't what I wanted at all. She taught us how to track macros, and I caught on really quickly, and I have logged meals for over 600 days now. However, my downfall has been getting past the mentality of eating enough food to feed my goals, which was a strong, muscular, lean body. I tried several programs, all yielding the same result: just plain skinny.

However, this was in my blood now. I love fitness and I love health, so I was determined to find a solution to reach my goals. I came across Nikkiey in November of 2018. I had an interview and was actually rejected, because I told her I did not want to create my own plans. I just wanted to purchase a program and follow it.

So after that, I purchased another program. And as I started doing that program, I realized this was not going to get me any farther down the road to my goals than what I was doing.

And I came across this quote that said, "You change when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of the change." And it made me really think: what was I doing that I wasn't changing and getting the results I wanted? So I reached back out to Nikkiey and got another interview, and was accepted, because I knew this time what I wanted.

The first few weeks, I was blown away at how intricately detailed her plan was: getting in the right mindset, making the commitment to yourself before digging into any of the details of the program. I was really eager to get started.

Within the first few weeks, I realized how much under-eating I was doing. I had been doing this for so long. Even though I tracked my macros and ate healthy, I just wasn't eating enough to feed the goals I wanted. And in just a short time, I could feel my energy soaring. My workouts were greatly improving. And having Nikkiey's reassurance every week was just so confidence-building for me.

Her program has provided me with all the tools and skills I need, so that I will never have to buy another program again, and I can achieve that lean, muscular body that I have been striving for for two years.

Along with the tools and skills I've learned inside of WarriorBabe, there's an absolutely amazing Facebook group for women in all stages of the journey, from beginners to advanced, to cheer you on and support you when you stumble along the way.

I only wish I would have found, or had the opportunity to be in, this kind of program when I started my fitness journey. It would have saved me hours of frustration, months of delays and lack of progress, and a ton of money on programs that I didn't need and didn't see results from.

So for all of you searching for a program to tone up, lose some weight, or who are fitness crazy and searching for that dream body, this is the program for you. You deserve to invest in yourself. You won't regret any time you spend on this program or the money you spend on it.
