Hi my name is Jamie, i am a 26 year old male living in Durham in the United Kingdom. Ive always been a keen sports person, playing various different sports ranging from Cricket to Badminton but have always struggled with my weight.
In August 2010 i made the decision to leave my family home in Cranleigh Surrey and move 300 miles north to Durham to move in with my girlfriend. When i moved to Durham i weighed a whopping 19 stone 8 lbs and set about changing my lifestyle and finally getting into shape.
As my lifestyle changed i started to notice i was starting to loose weight nothing major just little bits here and there. As time went on i started to use the wii fit and i know this sounds strange but running for 20 mins on that on the spot in the flat was pretty much what i used to do, that and cycling a mile to work and back everyday. As time went on even more weight dropped off, i started to feel great about myself and started to up the amount of exercise i was doing.
To cut a very long story short 2 1/2 years later i had dropped to an amazing 12 stone 8 lbs still pretty much doing the same routine.
In October 2012 i decided that i wanted to take my fitness and training more seriously and started to venture out of the house running. A big shock to the system but something that i needed! I found myself a personal trainer and joined a gym and have worked hard to tone and get myself Physically fit.
Now April 2013 almost 3 years from moving out of home i weigh a grand total of 13 stone 5 lbs and loving life.
My journey from fat to fit has been a long and pretty tough one along the way but i wouldn't change it for the world. I am a much happier, confident and fitter person than i ever thought i could be.
Its proof that even the lazyist of people can change for better!
Cheers J
