Nicks Weight Loss Journey
2:33 pm. You never forget a thing like that. I was in my client’s office. Suddenly I had a feeling I'd never had before. It was like Steven Seagal - the fat version - was standing on my chest bouncing up and down.
I thought I was dying. I was struggling to breathe and I had pains in my chest. I grabbed my clients arm and said -
"Call me an ambulance, I think I'm having a heart attack"
Without a word, she was already dialing 999. Then it at all went black. The next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital. It was really weird. Turns out I'd collapsed.
The long and short is... I didn't die that day. The doc said my weight was out of control and my stress levels were through the roof. I was stuck on observation and released the next morning thank god. The part I'll never forget is when the doc said -
“If you don't make some drastic changes now, you'll die".
That was the moment I realised I needed to do something.
Here's the rest of the story…
Before that day I wasn't an online coach... I was a business consultant. One of the most time-consuming jobs in the world.
Traveling halfway across the country to work with clients.
Being out of the house for 12+ hours a day...
Grabbing meal deals from the petrol station and sitting down to eat a ready meal at 9 pm.
I was stretched like a rubber band between clients and my family who really needed me. I wasn't happy and it showed.
I'd ballooned from 13 - 19 stone in a few short years…
I wanted to be fit not fat. I wanted to be healthy not unhealthy. I wanted to shop at Next, not Jacamo. The problem was I had no time to do anything about it. I needed a full-time solution. My life literally depended on it. Which began a seesaw journey of weight loss and gain over the next 3 years.
Until I met Ryan in my local gym, who was already a coach…
In order to lose the belly, I'd have to do it in as little time as possible. I'm talking like max 1 ½ hours a week. But to cut a long story short, Ryan helped me do it.
I went from 19 to 13 stone
I lost 78 pounds
I've gone from XL to a medium
I'm fitter and healthier than I've ever been
And I've ditched the ready meals
My life has been flipped upside down, in a good way
That's the secret of transformation specialists. That's what they do. They make it work. They transform your life.
Check out my transformation…
That's when Ryan and I started building Lean6. We wanted to help more guys in similar positions to me. Alongside Ryan, I've been a transformation specialist ever since and I love it. It's not always been plain sailing... but I've always been happy.
