My weight loss story
I lost ten stone over about two years and I’ve kept it off for over a decade. I’m sharing how I did it because I know what it’s like to try diet after diet and wonder why you keep ending up back where you started.
From 23½ stone to changes I could live with
At 21, I weighed 23½ stone. I’d tried the grape diet, meal replacements, counting calories and probably a few things I’ve forgotten. The weight would come off for a bit and then I’d lose interest. Sound familiar?
When I finally made changes I could keep going with, two short strength sessions a week were part of my routine. So was eating smaller meals more regularly. That was what fitted my life at the time. It’s also what made me interested in how people find habits that fit theirs.
How Everyday Weight Loss started
I trained as a personal trainer after losing the weight. The Secrets of Weight Loss podcast began with my story and grew to include other people who’d lost weight and kept it off. That’s where Everyday Weight Loss came from.
My book, Everyday Weight Loss, is due out in January 2027. You’ll also find me on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. For a workplace talk, see Ten Stone, One Day at a Time.
