Emely has always loved training and nutrition but carried a lot of doubt about how to apply that knowledge to her personal body composition goals. With MacroFactor, she finally found a system she can trust.
Emely is a 27-year-old who has struggled with binge eating and finding moderation in her nutrition. For years, she tried to manage her weight with different strategies, but no matter what she did, progress never felt sustainable.
“I’ve been on a long journey with weight loss, so my success and experience have had ups and downs,” she said. “I’ve had moments of success, but they’ve never felt sustainable. No matter how many times I’ve lost weight in my journey, I’ve always had the issue of gaining it all back or even more.”
Before MacroFactor
Emely has always been enthusiastic about training and fitness. She followed experts, counted Calories, and tried to create her own system, but nothing ever felt right.
“I would manually calculate my TDEE using an online calculator and guess what my deficit should be,” she said. “But when I made up my own macros to follow, I constantly second-guessed myself. I was always unsure if I was doing things right. I felt like I needed a coach, because following a plan of my own never felt like I was doing it properly.”
“I always felt like I was just spinning in circles, repeating the same cycle over and over,” she continued. “I wanted to feel confident in my own skin, but I never stuck to the plan long enough to see the results I was looking for.”
Feeling unsettled and wanting something closer to coaching than a spreadsheet, Emely decided to give MacroFactor a try.
Finding a new approach
For Emely, MacroFactor felt like having a coach in her pocket without the high price tag. As she grew more comfortable, she leaned into trusting the process.
“The app wasn’t just a tool for me, it was the backbone of my success,” she said. “I did my part by weighing myself daily and tracking more than 90 percent of the time, and let the coaching algorithm guide me. In all my years of yo-yo dieting, dealing with binge eating, and rebounding after weight loss, this app helped me lose weight sustainably, and I feel the best I’ve felt physically and energy-wise.”
She also learned she could eat more food than she ever realized and began leaving old habits behind.
“I have never in my whole fitness journey eaten the amount of Calories MacroFactor had me on. I was shocked at how sustainable and good it felt for me,” she said. “MacroFactor didn’t just help me lose weight. It helped me heal my mindset around dieting and food, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.”
The features that made it possible
Her favorite feature was the coaching algorithm, which she credits most for her success.
“I put my full trust in the app, and even on the days I was skeptical, I told myself to just trust the process. Without fail I kept making progress,” she said. “Having access to the coaching feature in the app, at this price point? The public is so privileged to have this feature.”
She also loved the ease of logging and using the app’s quality-of-life features, like copying and pasting meals.
“I typically eat the same foods every day, so being able to just copy my meals instead of inputting each food individually is so time efficient,” she said. “There’s so much to love about the app.”
Looking ahead
For Emely, learning to let go of panic when the scale stalled and embracing patience gave her a new view on progress. She gained confidence not only in her body but in her mindset as well.
“I’ve walked away with a stronger sense of discipline and a heart that knows I am capable of anything I commit to,” she said. “I proved to myself that I don’t have to become a slave to food or give it so much power over me.”
This experience taught Emely that lasting results come from accurate estimations, consistency, and moderation, which make a diet sustainable rather than all-or-nothing.
“I’m the leanest I’ve ever been, and I’m thankful for the confidence I now have in myself and in the app to keep guiding me on my journey,” she said.
