"When I first started this fitness journey I was depressed and like many others, my weight has gone up and down (mainly staying up). I woke up and thought "this is the time, it's life or death". I made the decision to change my life and joined M&E's group on Facebook. At first it was so intimidating, not knowing anything about lifting or even what my body needs as far as nutrition goes.  With the guidance of the coaches and support of the online group, here I am only 6 months later a changed person. I never knew I could perform and accomplish so much!! I have completely transformed by body and my relationship with food. Yes this is hard and there was crying involved in the beginning. I stuck with it even though there were plenty of times I wanted to give up. Melissa was right there to support me and so is the group. The patience and thought that Melissa and Eddie put into this program is unparalleled to anything else I have tried. There are even videos to help guide the inexperienced lifter like me! I eat anything I want as long as I track it because through this group I have learned that we do not need to restrict ourselves from any food. There is no other program like M&E that is affordable and gives you the complete tools to lead a fit life and succeed."

"I lost my way on my fitness journey and when Lissa presented the opportunity to join a fitness group she was starting something inside of me said don't miss out on this! Best decision I have made in a long time! Lissa is so positive and amazing and I am very happy with the progress I have made mentally and physically while on this new journey with her. She will tell you the results you get are from your hard work you put in but I would have not gotten to where I am without her support, guidance, and overall knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and health. Her straight forward no-nonsense attitude sets a tone from the beginning and she will let you know what is going on and what is expected from you so leave the excuses at the door!  She will call you out on your sh*t, she will challenge you, she will push you but she will also motivate you, inspire you, root for you, and love you! I will be forever thankful & grateful to this wonderful wife & mother who is the not only our fitness coach, she's our friend and #1 fan. Thank you Lissa for ALL that you do, I don't think you know how much you're appreciated.

"Starting in my teenage years after experiencing a life-threatening illness I began struggling with my weight. I always loved working out but struggled with nutrition. Then in my mid-twenties I experienced an out of state move, unemployment, feelings of isolation and things got way out of control, I wasn’t paying attention to what I was eating or how much I was eating, I quickly ballooned to the heaviest I had ever been and of course that made things worse. I started working with M&E in February 2017 and had a few “setbacks” and Lissa helped me through each and every one and I came back stronger each time. Lissa really took the time to talk to me and get to know my situation so she could make the correct decisions regarding my macros which ultimately helped me to succeed in making the proper changes so I could be the best me I can be."

"Having been diagnosed with autoimmune disease and having my health hit rock bottom I decided wanted back in control of my health, mind, body and happiness. I took the brave yet uncertain step of contacting Coach Lissa and she willingly took me into group in July. I knew this group was exactly what I needed because I needed the accountability factor. Little did I realize that I would gain so much more from this group and the coaches. Our coaches provide you with the necessary tools and teach you what you need to succeed. All it takes from you is commitment, honesty, desire. Along with the best coaches around you gain a family of supporters who are in the same boat as you which is priceless. Even at my worst days I now have the support and tools needed to keep me on track. There isn't a coach out there that will put as much effort and heart into their group as Melissa and Eddie do. I am forever grateful for this program, my fit fam and the best coaches around."

"I've always loved to workout; it's my passion and definitely my therapy. I've tried every diet out there, but have never found the results I've been seeking. I've been on M&E Macros & Muscles program for 7-weeks & my body has changed drastically!! The most noticeable is my stomach!! At the age 19, I had my first born son and made the mistake of doing ab exercises at 3-weeks postpartum & didn't let myself heal. Since then, I've had 2 more kids & my stomach has gotten worse with each pregnancy. I was told I have something known as diastasis recti (which makes my belly always look pregnant) and in order to fix this, I will need surgery, so I've always felt helpless in this area...until now! At every check-in with Melissa, I see changes!! Week after week, my stomach goes down in size!! I've currently lost 11lbs, 6% bodyfat, and inches from every part of my body! I now look at my before and current photos and am still in disbelief!! Holy sh**!!! It's insane!!! I'm not going to lie; It's hard f**ing work, and a huge commitment to the process. I work full time, my husband works nights & I have all 3 kids alone by myself most of the time, but I keep asking myself, "how bad do you want it!?" I want this more than anything, and it's paid off. I've found a new love for myself, my self confidence has skyrocketed and I'm growing stronger, not only physically but emotionally and mentally, and I owe all my gratitude to Melissa!! She has changed my life in ways that she will just never know!!! Her commitment to her clients is indescribable. All the blood, sweat & tears she puts in is making such a significant difference in each one of our lives!!"

"Hi, Melissa
I’m have been doing your program for 3 weeks but I lost my first week trying to figure out how it works. My other 2 weeks are going to be exciting and I will follow all your directions and I’m pretty sure that one of these days you will feel proud of my job results in my transformation. I like to eat healthy, and I have tried a lot of different classes like  yoga, cycling, Pilates but I never had a trainer that had me do weights like you. After both of my pregnancies, I gained a lot of weight 30 pounds for each girl 🙈 it wasn’t easy to lose 60 pounds and I can see and feel that it hard to recovery my skin and body tone again. I heard about your program at Salon De Decota where My friend Alicia Rae worked.  I saw her change in 2 weeks and I asked her a lot of questions, and I started checking all that beautiful women that you and your husband helped and transformed. OMG!! that’s incredible. I’m a super shy and a very private person and it was difficult for me to send pictures about my body but I believe and trust that you are a professional and the correct person that I was trying to meet. A great Coach with a wonderful program!! I will follow ALL your instructions because now I feel confident and happy with my body again. 
I really appreciate everything that I have learned from your posts and I’m enjoying your program, and grateful to have you as my coach. 
Thank you so much!!! 
Mariel  😉💪🏻"

"I've been a part of M&E since June. In that time I have lost 27 pounds and 39 inches. I had tried diets and working out, but nothing was really working. Every day I feel stronger and better about myself. It has not been easy, but it has definitely been worth it. I love how supportive my coaches and my fitfam are. I seriously would not be were I am today without all of them. ?

Nicole

"I was referred to macro and muscles by a friend. I decided to take a leap of faith and join at my lowest point. I had gained 30lbs and hated myself and couldn't find the motivation to get back to losing weight again since I had hurt my back. I could find a million and one reasons to not workout.  I was so nervous to join I kept telling my friend I'm so nervous for the unknown, but a month and a half in I'm happy again. I have lost 16lbs and 11 inches and 2% body fat. I have more energy now, feel so much better about myself when I look in the mirror and can wear jeans again that were too tight.  I have a ways to go to where I really want to be but know I can do it. It's not easy but I'm not giving up and going back down the wrong path. I have Melissa and her husband to thx and for not giving up on me and for helping with when I ask questions.  It means a lot. I will continue with Melissa and her husband for as long as she does this."

"Hi. I have been with M & E macros and muscles for about 8 months now. Before I started the program, I was an avid Runner and enjoyed weightlifting. I wasn't seeing the results equate to the amount of time I was dedicating to my fitness. Finding the group was perfect timing for me.  I am just like so many others, days filled with demands and pulled between several roles and responsibilities,  mother, wife,  employee Etc so balance can be an issue. I also have a thyroid disease that I am monitoring with diet no medication. Being with the group I've learned how important it is to eat...Seriously to eat every 2 hours and often to eat a balanced meal with fat protein and carbs. Which is refreshing to learn given that so many women think we're supposed to eat salad and remain healthy....The program is not a fad  or phrase it teaches you a lifestyle that is balanced stable and healthy there is nothing yoyo  or up and down about this program. The results came quickly and that was motivating, it also helped me to open up my eyes that my previous thinking to food was very unhealthy.  Food is fuel not an enemy. In addition to new found  knowledge about Fitness and food,  the program offers accountability and community.

Be brave, take a step forward,  it's time to start focusing on YOU!"

"I was a High School athlete and a Cheerleader in college and was always in decent shape. After college, between marriage and two kids I stopped really caring about my body. I assumed that this was as good as it was gonna get and "embraced " being overweight. After a gathering with some of my girlfriends I saw a photo of myself and felt ashamed. I knew I needed help. I tried weight watchers in my 20's and refused to go to meetings and knew I needed something that also got me moving again. After contacting Melissa and her adding me to her growing list of clients, in a short few days I noticed a difference. I wasn't as sluggish, I was motivated to meal prep, gym time has become "me time".  I used to feel I was taking away time from my family ( I work 4 days a week-12 hour shifts) but I see now that it enhances my family time and they have been so supportive. I find joy in squeezing in workouts and hitting my macros. I feel in control and can't wait to continue my fitness re-birth!!  This program is hard, it's time consuming, the workouts are challenging, but it's SO worth it! Melissa is no-nonsense, straight to the point and extremely knowledgeable. She also has a great sense of humor!  I can't sing enough praises for Macros & Muscles! Melissa & Eddie are the dream team of fitness!!! "

Joy

"I'm so happy I found M&E! 
I feel like I've been on a diet ever since college and yet never really succeeding at it. And don't get me wrong, I've had some success, it just hasn't been sustainable. I basically have only experienced extremes: I'm either extremely overweight or stage ready lean. I'm either binging on potato chips and Oreos or eating tilapia and broccoli. It felt like I was either gonna be miserable me forever or just have to be content being fat - until I saw a few posts from a friend of mine about Macros and Muscles. 
In the four weeks I've been a part of this group (nutrition only) I've already seen changes in my body. But that's not even the best part. The best part is that I've been able to lose weight and tighten up while eating the things I enjoy. I get to eat things that have flavor, enjoy carbs and fats AND lose weight! 
Next month I start the full program and I absolutely can not wait!
The private FB group makes me feel super accountable to my macro numbers and I love the support from all the members. Coach Melissa gives it to you straight and teaches you along the way, which makes me feel like I will be successful in the long run because I'm learning how to live a healthy leaner lifestyle vs another your diet.

Thank you Coach! Looking forward to more changes!"

"I have been on my fitness journey with Melissa and Eddie now for 3 months. I have lost over 14lbs and a little over 24 inches overall. I dropped over 13% Body fat and I have NEVER felt this confident or comfortable in my own skin. I have 2 small Children, my first is almost 4 and my second will be one in a few months. I was told I would never be able to lose my baby weight and it was ok to be chubby since I had babies. I refused to believe that and when Melissa reached out to me to join her team and asked to coach me there was no way I was going to say no. I have trusted her experience and education and I saw results quick, the fat melted off and the muscled packed on. I eat healthier, my kids eat healthier and my husband is happier than ever to have a gym partner. The Macros are amazing and the workouts provided are just as good. I trusted the process and here I am 3 months later. I have reached all of my original goals, my clothes are all too big and I am not skinny, I am lean and getting cut. I love weight lifting and it has become my "Me time". I have not been perfect in this journey and I have learned how to balance health, life, fitness and fun. I will forever be thankful for M&E Macros and Muscles program. I get to eat amazing food, I get amazing workouts and the support from my coaches and team members is AMAZING! You will never find another accountability group like this and I guarantee there is no other program where you will see amazing results in the first month. Trust the process and your coaches, do as they say and everything else will happen. Thank you Melissa and Eddie!"

"Mellisa and Eddie have been training me for 7 weeks now, and i can honestly say it has changed my life.
I have worked out on a off my hole life, and done every fad diet there is and although i knew how to drop the gain the same 10lbs pretty quickly it was never maintainable bc i never had the knowledge and tools to change my lifestyle. I now walk into the gym, like i know what I’m doing. And eat how i know it will nourish my muscles, and thats pretty cool.  I have also never been so motivated before in my life. The group setting hands down is what i have to thank for that aspect. Its incredibly motivating and inspiring seeing people who have been doing this longer, and motivating those who started after us.  Melissa is great at holding us accountable, which i feel is the most important part about how she trains. Trust the process and soon you will be as gracious as i am. No matter what your age, or what kind of shape you’re in, you can do this!"

"First things first: Melissa and Eddie know their stuff and they will provide you with the tools/knowledge to transform yourself into your best "you"! I have learned so much from them during this 7 week journey I've had so far. If you are looking for a no BS, no excuses type of coach then you found your people.  Melissa is very straightforward with her members and is obviously passionate about what she and Eddie do..  The accountability posts that are required really help to keep you on track, and the and support from other group members is amazing. It helps you to keep pushing even when you're exhausted, and before you know it you'll find yourself feeling excited to go to the gym and do the next workout that Melissa and Eddie have designed.  I can thank them for helping me to get back into the gym after a 2 year hiatus and I love it more than I ever did before. Melissa posts videos of each workout so you can make sure your form is correct.  If you ever have a question, the coaches are super quick with responses. Also, the recipe ideas that other group members share is great and helps inspire you to get more creative in the kitchen with your meal prep. So again, if you want results and you want someone pushing you to be your best self, hire Melissa and Eddie. You WILL get amazing results (just look at all the before and after photos) if you stick to the plan, and you WILL feel great and have more energy than you ever thought you could. The motivation that I've experienced in this group is like no other and I plan on being a long term committed member! Thank you M&E Macros and Muscles!"

"I started this program already living a fit lifestyle,I was needing more direction and learning to further my fitness. But what I was not expecting to learn was that I was actually not living as healthy as I thought I was, in the few short weeks that Melissa and Eddie have been coaching and encouraging me I have learned SO much and have experienced so many scale and NSV I would have never been able to to myself. 

This whole experience has been amazing and I talk about my new found fitness level with everyone and have nothing but good things to say about Melissa and Eddie, would recommend them to anyone who is need the knowledge or that extra push to get where they wanna be.

I am in love with all the workouts they have taught and learning the macros are even better but definitely harder! 

This is one experience I will NEVER forget and will always carry with me even after the groups are over. I can not say thank you enough to this amazing couple for taking the time to put this all together along with being parents which is a full time job In it's self!  You two are AMAZING! 

Thank you thank you!!!💙💙💙

"I joined M&E Fitness in April 2017 and I could not wait to start. I have always been into working out and fitness but really wanted to buckle down and get some amazing results in preparation for my wedding. I have always eaten healthy (clean) but wasn't getting the results I really wanted. I had done some research into macros and tracking and whether or not it made a difference and was very curious and excited to learn more. In my first program with M&E Fitness (4 solid weeks of macros and workouts) I lost 2% BF, 8.6 pounds and 12 inches overall! It works! This program is hard, it takes a lot of dedication and drive to make it work. You will be challenged, you will be held accountable and you will work hard for your results.... but it is worth it! Melissa and Eddie are incredibly intelligent and know so much about fitness, nutrition and the human body. They create killer workouts that push you to work harder every week. They truly knows what they're talking about and want you to succeed in your goals. Because of Melissa and Eddie I am actually excited to put on my wedding dress and have over 100 people starring at me as I walk down the aisle in September. Thank you M&E Fitness!"

Kim

"Having battled weight my entire life, I had not been able to find a solution that would last until I joined M&E. These coaches and this group have given me far more than any quick fix could ever do...and I have tried them all! 

I am learning how to eat, what to eat, and what to do to get myself in the best possible shape I can. I will be 47 on my birthday in January,  and it isn't too late to learn. I have a lo g way to go, but I will get there! I appreciate Melissa and Eddie for working with me. They are always available for help if you need it. They go above and beyond to provide quality service to their clients. They are never critical of progress, and they understand each person's body is different. 

So thankful and grateful to have been chosen for this life journey with M&E!"
