5’4” 134lbs-Current

I’ve been a customer of Marcie's for over six years; they have the best staffs that are always professional, friendly, and up to date on the world of nutrition. During the time I met Marcie, she is one of the Nutritional and Dietitian staff on the team and she is great! Beyond her friendly personality she has possesses excellent client service skills on an individual level which is so hard to find. Everyone’s body is unique and responds differently to food’s supplements and exercise. What I appreciate most about Marcie is her ability to meet the challenging needs of clients with health issues, food allergies/food sensitives.  I am one of those clients. 

I was preparing for my first body building competition in June 2015. I began training and meal prep in August of 2014. I had no clue what to expect, meal wise and how my body would respond. I googled meal plans and tried to make adjustments as I went along in the process. But again, I had no clue! It was exactly three weeks before my show. I looked, “ok”.  I was a little discouraged and I went in to speak with Marcie. I shared with her that I looked nothing like the women in my class and I felt like I came this far to fail.

Marcie for starters gave me the sweetest pep talk and told me: “I can fix it”.

I cried, she was so reassuring and helpful! She quickly gathered my body statistics: I was 142lbs, down from 160lbs. I was hanging on to some water weight that wouldn’t budge and that body fat that would not BUDGE! I was stuck at 19%. She explained that 16% for my body type was ideal. I got discouraged again, but Marcie has a way of reshaping your mind as well. She said, “WE can do this”.

Marcie had a plan, she factored in my allergies and medication with a meal/exercise regimen designed to re-shape my body over the next three weeks. In three days, I was down 2lbs. I was seeing progress! 140lbs was good, but I still had a ways to go. I followed this regimen and checked in with Marcie once to twice a week. Another 15 days went by; I weighed in at 134lbs. My mind was blown; I could see my body changing daily. My body fat had dropped down into the 17% range. I cried AGAIN, LOL. Happy tears this time. Because I could finally see what Marcie had seen in me all along.  I was officially six days out from show day and I couldn’t feel more inspired! The morning of my show, I was 131lbs. In three weeks, I lost 11lbs and over 2% body fat. This was a record for me! I’m sorry to be so long winded, but anyone that has ever struggled with weight their whole life would understand why the small details are so important!

I placed 4th, in my very first show. I was proud of myself. I tell all of my friends, family and co-workers; “See Marcie at Max Muscle. You won’t be sorry”. The catch is though, you have to follow the program. Nothing comes without hard work and dedication. Marcie took me on as a client during a high volume period for her, and did I mention that she is a full-time mommy? Not once did I feel like a number or client, Marcie is my sister and I am grateful for her guidance!

I hope this helps or inspires someone looking to get healthy. If you are on this webpage, you’re in the right place!
