Meet Coach Mary!
Hi! I’m Mary!
Hi!! Coach Mary here! I am a 36 year old wife of 12 years and mother of three beautiful children - 18, 10, and 6! And this is my story of hope and healing.
It is hard to put into words my journey over the years. So let’s begin with saying ANYTHING is possible when you allow yourself to make up your mind.
I started my health journey on a random Wednesday in April of 2018 at 203 lbs. After I was knee deep in my binge eating disorder and depression. Looking back, I wonder how I let myself get to that low point. I got really good at hiding how I felt inside. Just remember, the hardest fight you'll ever have is the one inside you.
April 24th of 2018, I woke up and just decided it was time to take my life back. I was done letting the events of my life control me. I realized strength is born in the deep silence of long suffering. That is when I discovered macro tracking and strength training. I will say, I tried SO MANY diets to try and lose weight. But, 1. I don’t think I was ever truly tired of my own BS. 2. None of them were sustainable long term.
It was then that I started going to the gym as something I could do for me! It wasn’t for anyone, but me!
Whatever emotion I was feeling at that time, I would use lifting to work through it. I started to track my macros in order to teach myself about food, and basically teach myself how to eat again. I know that sounds silly, but this is where my breakthrough began. I started my fitness Instagram account in August of 2018. I first created it to document my journey for a few people here and there. It has turned into so much more than that. I have learned there are some amazing and strong women in this world, and many of them can relate to my story. Being able to connect and hopefully inspire other women is truly a dream I never even knew I had.
As a coach who has experienced the journey of weight loss firsthand, I can wholeheartedly empathize with the challenges and triumphs that come with it. I've walked the path that many of my clients are treading, and I understand the unique struggles and emotions that are part of this transformative process.
Having stood where you stand now, I bring not just knowledge, but a deep understanding of the physical and emotional hurdles that can arise. The frustration of plateaus, the temptation of unhealthy choices, and the moments of doubt are all too familiar to me. I remember the elation of every victory, no matter how small, and the determination that fueled me to push forward even when progress seemed slow.
My personal experience has taught me that this journey isn't just about numbers on a scale. It's about reclaiming confidence, finding inner strength, and cultivating a healthier relationship with yourself. I'm not just a coach who imparts advice; I'm a partner who truly comprehends the complexity of your voyage.
I'm here to be your advocate, your cheerleader, and your guide. I know the immense satisfaction that comes from setting and achieving realistic goals, and I'm dedicated to helping you navigate the obstacles along the way. By sharing my own transformation story, I aim to inspire and motivate you, showing that we can overcome challenges and the results are attainable!
