Lizzie Crofts
My name is Lizzie, I am 20 years old and
currently working as a hotel receptionist, this is my story.
When I was at school I was quite a heavy girl and I
didn’t like it, so I started exercising and eating properly. I went down to a dress size 10, it was great,
I was confident and happy at that time.
In 2004 I was a very fit girl, training at
a kickboxing club four times a week with a good job. Then everything changed for different
reasons. Last year was quite difficult to deal with and I got stressed
out, not only with my weight but I was also getting turned down for every job that I
applied for and I felt useless.
Without realising it I had continued to
put weight on, I felt that I was going back to how I used to be. So I tried going to the gym and controlling my
diet but it just didn’t work. I saw the 8 week
challenge in the paper and decided to do it with my mum.
Throughout the 8 weeks I feel my
highlights and achievements were meeting all of my 4 and 8 week goals. I worked hard and know I will continue with this
healthy lifestyle no matter what.
The trainers at New Image are extremely helpful and
it didn’t feel as if I was being bullied in to exercise instead I felt advised and
encouraged, after all that is what I was there for.
I now feel much more confident in the
clothes I wear and I now have the motivation to train for the Great north run and eventually
the London marathon. I would
advise anybody that is feeling stuck in a rut whether it be weight gain or any other problems
to start training, this will give them something to aim for. I thought that because I
hadn’t achieved anything in the last year I had to prove to myself that I can do something in
my life and I did, anyone can too.
Don’t say I’ll do it tomorrow if it’s
really bothering you, start today. It takes hard work and dedication but if you really want it you’ll get
there.
Lizzie lost 22lbs, 10cm off her waist, 8cm
off her hips, 7% body fat and had one of the biggest improvements in her fitness of the
group.
