Bryn hit early menopause, spent years yo-yo dieting, and couldn't get a straight answer from her doctor about why her body was changing. She tried half marathons, calorie cutting, point-based diets - nothing stuck. Then she found WarriorBabe, learned macros for the first time, and lost over 25 lbs while eating 2000+ calories a day. She went from a size 10 to a size 6 at 58 years old - by eating more, not less.
