I have always suffered with my weight from being a small child, never too drastic, but I was always half a stone heavier than everybody else. In July 2001, I moved from the North East to Derbyshire to with be with my now husband. In the past I had always done some kind of exercise, swimming, gym, aerobics, walking. But once I relocated, I lost touch with all of that and over the last 4 years, my weight has gradually increased. I tried to lose weight, joined slimming clubs, fad diets, you name it, but still no weight loss. I went to the doctors for help, endless times they checked my thyroid, to no avail. I was referred to a Nutritionist, who couldn’t see anything wrong with my diet. I then resorted to taking slimming pills which made me ill. This was getting me nowhere and slowly but surely I was getting more and more obese and more and more miserable. I needed help so I could feel better about myself and feel well again. I heard about Tim through a friend who had been training with him for 12 months. She kept trying to persuade me to see him. I buried my head in the sand until I finally plucked up the courage to go and see him. Tim was really nice and friendly and we had a long chat about my diet, lifestyle and things I had tried in the past. He guaranteed me that I would lose weight if I stuck to his programme and worked out on a regular basis, and kept to the calorific guidelines he had given me. He assured me that if it didn’t work, then he would personally write to my GP. Tim got me to keep a food diary of what I ate so he could assess if I was doing anything wrong. After playing around with a few different exercise regimes, we found one which was right for me which involved more cardio exercise. Every month, Tim changes my programme, making it that little harder and little longer to help me achieve my fitness goals. Changing this regularly keeps me motivated, and stops me from getting bored with the same routine. All my life, I have struggled to lose weight. With Tim's help and advice, I can now accept that these changes do happen over a period of time. Tim helped me to stop being negative and to set myself realistic goals. I have now lost one and half stone and attend the gym regularly. I am still progressing to reach my mini targets. I am thankful to Tim, as I now feel better about myself and my fitness levels have soared since I’ve been working with him. I know I still have a long way to go but with Tim’s help I will reach my goal!
