Today, I’m joined by my internet friend Casey from @CaseyDoesMacros!

We first connected back in 2021 when we trained together as macro coaches under Amber at Biceps After Babies. Casey has an incredible weight loss story, and her journey is as real and inspiring as it gets.

In this episode, Casey shares her experience of losing 100 pounds, navigating the challenges of life after weight loss surgery, and how macro counting became the sustainable solution that helped her keep the weight off for over five years. We talk about:

• The power of realistic, non-perfectionist approaches to weight loss.
• Why macro counting isn’t just another diet—it’s a lifestyle change that works.
• How trusting the process can lead to lasting results.
• The importance of planning, preparation, and staying consistent.
• Practical tips for balancing enjoyment and effectiveness in your weight loss journey.

Casey’s story is proof that sustainable weight loss is possible, even after years of struggling. Her authenticity and dedication are truly inspiring, and I know you’re going to love her!

Key Takeaways:

• Weight Loss is Just the Start: Casey emphasizes that learning how to maintain weight is the real challenge—and the real success.
• Don’t Wait for Perfect: Life will always be busy; start your journey now and let it take the time it needs.
• Macro Counting is Flexible: You don’t have to give up your favorite foods—you just learn how to enjoy them in balance.
