Jade Crighton’s life took a dramatic turn after a single photo made her rethink everything. Struggling with obesity and feeling she wasn’t reaching her full potential as a mum, Jade decided it was time for a change. After seeing a family picture taken over Christmas, she was heartbroken by what she saw and realised things needed to change.
At 35, Jade embarked on a weight loss journey, determined to be the best mum she could be to her two children, Ellie and Cody. In just one year, she succeeded in shedding 7 stone, transforming not only her physique but her entire outlook on life.
Jade, who once relied on quick freezer meals and takeaways, made the switch to cooking from scratch and embraced a healthier lifestyle. She found support in a local group, where the encouragement and advice she received became crucial to her success. It wasn’t just about losing weight, but gaining the freedom to be actively involved in her children’s lives.
From high-risk pregnancies to struggling with everyday tasks, Jade’s transformation means she no longer misses out. She’s now more active, taking her son to playgroups, shopping, and simply enjoying life without the limitations her weight once imposed.
Shopping for clothes has turned into a whole new experience for Jade. From a size 26, she’s now comfortably fitting into a size 16, expanding her clothing options and boosting her confidence.
Jade’s journey is a testament to the powerful change determination can bring. She’s healthier, happier, and an inspiration to others looking to make a positive change. If Jade can do it, anyone can!
