Where I started

At my heaviest, I weighed 236lbs (16st 8lbs).

I didn’t know much about fitness. I’d spent the previous few years living on takeaways, gaining relationship break-up weight, and gaming for 8+ hours a day. I felt uncomfortable in my own body and, honestly, pretty bad about it.

I had tried losing weight before (plenty of times) and failed.

When I decided to give it another go, I made every mistake you can think of! From skipping meals, fasted cardio and not eating after a certain time, to fat burners and meal replacement shakes. If you’ve heard of it, I probably tried it.

At the time, I just wanted to lose a few stone and maintain it. Becoming a personal trainer wasn’t even on my radar.

What eventually changed things wasn’t a quick fix.

it was consistency. Some weeks the scale barely moved. Some weeks it didn’t move at all. But I kept going.

Over time, the weight came off. I lost 5 stone in the early stages, and more importantly, training became something I genuinely enjoyed instead of something I forced myself to do.

That journey led me to where I am today — helping people who feel exactly how I once did.

There are no shortcuts. Weight loss is a process, and nutrition plays a huge role. If you’re willing to be consistent and patient, real change is possible.

If you see yourself in any part of this story, you don’t have to figure it out all on your own.
