There is an abundance of personal trainers...but very, very few who have accomplished what you have...who know the hard work and small increments and mental challenges that go with a serious health & fitness program...who really understand nutrition and the weight loss process and especially the emotional component to it. I think you will have a special connection with and compassion for your clients, especially those who face health, weight, age, or disability challenges. Wishing you the best! And you have a very supportive, positive girlfriend!

Thanks for the kind words and support, it is hopefully something I can do to support people through what is a tough time full of highs and lows. I definitely do have a very supportive girlfriend, the past couple of months would not have happened without her influence

You aren't, and it really isn't the physical change that makes you. That is what people see, but just by the above statement you know you changed to be the better person you are today. THAT is the best part of your journey.

Stay AMAZING.

Well done. Can I ask a question? Are you Irish?

By the way, there's an ambudance of nutritionists, but a huge lack of qualified dieticians. I know it's much more expensive to qualify, but you'd be great at it as you've come through the psychological barrier as well.

Thanks so much for sharing your story and pix! Such an inspiration to all of us! Don't be shy about showing your "before" pix--that will immediately give you 'street cred' with those who think most fitness trainers have always been fit! Best wishes as you go!
