Marcy’s weight loss success story started when she decided to join the Sugarfreemomtribe. She went from a size 12 to a size 6 in 6 months following the Midlife Macros™ Method!
What is your age and where do you live?
52, Arundel, Maine
How did you find SugarFreeMomTribe.com and when did you join?
I have been following you on FB for YEARS and making recipes here and there. I decided the day before the MMM program started to try one final thing and give up because that is what my doctors were telling me anyway.
Did you have any weight struggles before joining the course and membership?
Yes, my weight issues/struggles started in my early 30’s, like 32/33.
What other weight loss programs had you tried and how successful were they to keep your weight off?
Weight Watchers for years and it worked until it didn’t, My Fitness Pal (calories), then I tried increasing my protein intake, HITT workouts, running, NOTHING budged the scale. Not even ½ pound. Nothing.
How much weight did you lose and what other non scale victories have you had?
I have lost 34 pounds to date. I can bend over and tie my shoes without gasping for air because my stomach was so big!!
I am now in a size 6 pants. I haven’t been a size 6 since I was 19/20 and that was very short lived – I only had one pair of size 6 jeans because it didn’t last long. I averaged a size 8 most of my life until 32/33.
Measurements on 8/4/2025 were:
Hips 44
Chest 42
Waist 41
Arms 12.5
Thighs 20
Measurements on 2/22/2026

Chest 34.5 (boy do my bras feel different!!)
Waist 33.5
Arms 11
Thighs 20
What were you typically eating before making this lifestyle change?
My portions were out of control. I was eating enough for 2 but when I tried to decrease my portions in the past, I’d get the shakes, feel weak, and dizzy but not this time because I am fueling my body with the RIGHT foods this time.
What sugarfreemom resources have helped you?
The dessert recipes because I am going to be honest, I will never give up my sweets completely. The tribe has been extremely helpful and inspiring for sure.
What does a typical day of eating look like now for you?
I used to have 3 meals, 2 snacks and a dessert. Now I have 3 meals and no dessert MOST days.
Some days (around my period), I find myself unreasonable hungry so I will have a Zevia or pork rinds (I hate them) if I am hungry enough and that has been working/helping. I will also, brush my teeth or chew some Pur cinnamon gum to chase the urge away.
Do you exercise?
My weekly exercise is: 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.4, and 1.5 elevation, and a 16 pound weighted vest. 3-4 “toning”: one leg day, one arm day, and my Ab and butt day rotate. Nothing drastic or intense. This is something I do not mind doing and only don’t do if I am very sick.
What have you learned from your journey?
It is possible if you are educated by someone who knows what they are talking about.
Final thoughts or takeaways you want to share.
You gave me the tools I needed to help me fit those puzzle pieces together.
I am a very simple person. I have found a combination that works for me, and I enjoy, and I have pretty much eaten the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and supper since August 4th.
I have stuck with this as it works. I am satisfied 90% of the time (the weeks of my period are rough, always have been), and my meal prep is under an hour and this all works for me 1,000%.
If not, I would have failed by now like I did with ALL my other efforts.
If you want it bad enough, you CAN do it, and it is worth it.
