In this episode, I interview Nicole, who read Thinner Leaner Stronger and used what she learned to lose over 100 pounds while gaining significant amounts of muscle.

After having her third child, Nicole was over 260 pounds and embarrassed by letting herself get to that point. She got fed up and decided to make a change, but she wasn\u2019t sure what to do to get fit.

Like many women, she was intimidated by weightlifters in the gym and ended up spending her time in the cardio section. It didn\u2019t help that she was taught by misguided trainers that she needed to \u201ctone\u201d and lifting weights would make her bulky. She was also following heavily-restricted fad diets, which lead to a lot of binge eating.

She eventually lost some weight, but she still wasn\u2019t happy with her physique. She was skinny fat.

Luckily, a google search on building muscle helped her find my book Thinner Leaner Stronger, and after implementing what she learned about macros and strength training, she\u2019s now 156 pounds, wearing size 4 jeans, and has visible abs.

What\u2019s more, her awesome transformation has inspired her husband to join a gym, and he\u2019s also lost 100 pounds!

In this interview, Nicole and I chat about her story and the important lessons she\u2019s learned along the way, including how what she was doing before finding TLS, how macros transformed her eating and ability to stick to her diet, how she overcame gym intimidation, how she\u2019s inspired her kids to eat healthier, what she\u2019s working toward now, and more.

So if you\u2019re looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, I highly recommend you listen to this episode.
