Jamie Liddington's Transformation: From Struggle to Success

Jamie Liddington, a 42-year-old lawyer at Amazon, had always grappled with his weight throughout his adult life. "I've struggled with moderation in particular," Jamie shared, reflecting on his journey. "That meant I was either in 'on' mode, focusing on training and nutrition, or I let both go entirely."

Jamie's battle with weight saw significant fluctuations. In August 2020, he managed to get down to 83 kg. However, a back injury disrupted his progress, leading to a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet, which caused his weight to soar to 107 kg by October 2022. Realizing he needed help, Jamie had a moment of honesty with himself. "I just failed to do it myself a couple of times, which, you know, wasn't pleasant. I just had to bite the bullet, come in, and get it done."

Knowing the journey ahead would be tough, Jamie was prepared for the sacrifices. Yet, once he committed, the benefits were profound. He regained energy, momentum, and experienced significant physical changes.

Beyond the physical transformation, Jamie regained his happiness. "Prior to joining Embody, I'd been on the verge of depression. Now I'm just so happy. People see a happier husband and father, and I think I'm a better person for it. Much sharper and just so much more energy."

 "I've been able to drop 27 kg and go from 33% body fat down to 10% body fat"

Jamie's experience at Embody was transformative in more ways than one. Understanding the interplay between training, nutrition, and sleep improvements allowed him to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. "The funniest moment was when somebody who I know fairly well didn't even recognize me. They almost ignored me because they hadn't picked up on this person being the same person they'd seen eight months before when I was still at my pre-Embody weight. So, yeah, it's been nice to see some of those reactions and the non-reactions."
