After five years of coaching, Coach Krysta sees a clear pattern: the women celebrating their biggest wins aren't talking about the scale anymore. One just got her research published. Another shaved 12 minutes off her HYROX time. My favorite? The client who went to a barbecue, tried the brownies, and genuinely wanted to go home for her usual yogurt bowl instead. Not out of guilt or restriction—she just preferred it.That's what happens when you stop chasing weight loss and start building a life that actually works.

Krysta was mid-conversation with a potential client when it hit her—the advice we're all getting about "starting before you're ready" isn't just unhelpful, it's actually sabotaging our success.
