When Carri signed up for 1:1 Macro Coaching, she already knew her way around the gym—and around macros. As a longtime CrossFitter and competitive weightlifter, her goal wasn’t simply to lose weight. She wanted to drop into a lower weight class for an upcoming meet without sacrificing the strength she’d worked so hard to build. With Coach Lee Ann in her corner, Carri lost 6 pounds during her six weeks of coaching, maintained her strength, and walked away with something even more valuable: a better understanding of how to fuel her body, recognize hunger and fullness cues, and let go of the idea that tracking has to be perfect to be effective.

Tell us a little about yourself.

Carri: I am 37 years old, full-time engineer, wife, and step-mom to a 13 year old boy! I’ve been active in CrossFit for over 10 years, and competitive in weightlifting for about 5 years. I recently decided to register for another weightlifting meet and decided to cut weight for a lower weight class than I’m used to after having gained weight over the last year. 

How did you first find Stay Fit Mom, and what made you decide to start coaching?

Carri: I knew Lee Ann through my CrossFit gym & decided to give the macro coaching a try for accountability for my goals! 

Your transformation is inspiring! Tell us how much weight/inches you’ve lost.

Carri:  I had 10 lbs to lose to make weight and I’m now very close to my goal weight after losing 6 lbs during the 6 week program while maintaining my strength!

What diets/things have you tried before and how does it compare to the macro counting journey you’ve been on with Stay Fit Mom?

Carri: I have tried several diets in the past and have tracked macros in the past independently. I think tracking really holds me accountable and gives me something to focus on! I loved having a coach this time around to check in with and ask questions when needed. Especially someone I trust and am comfortable with!! Lee Ann is an amazing human & does a great job coaching! 

Besides shedding pounds and inches, what are some Non-Scale Victories that you’ve experienced?

Carri:  I feel like I’m more aware now of how I feel with the right amount of food & have gotten really good at observing hunger & fullness cues and respecting my body by not over-eating! It’s a big habit to create for me to track everything, especially because I’m a perfectionist and I felt like I couldn’t get it perfect all the time!! But the truth is, tracking and getting close to accurate is better than not tracking anything!

Carri’s story is a great reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own—or be perfect to make progress.
