About Mortadha
I didn't start with a sports-science degree or a coaching badge. I started the way most people do, wanting to lose weight, feel better, and finally make it stick after a few false starts.
In the beginning MyMacroFit was just for me. A few calculators and some notes to keep myself honest. It worked well enough that I wanted to put it in front of other people who were standing exactly where I'd been, so I cleaned it up and opened it to everyone. Free tools, no sign-ups, and articles that tell the truth about how slow and unglamorous this actually is.
I write the journey and motivation side of the site. I'm not interested in the perfect plan, because I never followed one. I write about the realistic plan: the habits that survive a stressful week, the mindset that outlasts a crash diet, and what to do when the scale just sits there and refuses to move.
I share the day-to-day on TikTok too, where the people following along keep me as accountable as I'm trying to keep them.
