Laura Muirhead - Q&A
What made you first decide to change yourself and your life?
After returning from a work trip abroad, I was looking through the holiday snaps with colleagues, it then dawned on me that I was the fattest person on the trip. That was the first time I had ever looked at myself as overweight and felt very unhappy with absolutely everything about me.
Tell us how you went about making the changes?
I was too unhappy and embarrassed with my body to exercise initially, it wasn't until I had lost my first 18 pounds that I actually joined a gym and took part in cardio and weight training classes on a regular basis, working around my work shifts. I gradually lost more and more weight at a healthy rate and started to tone up. After 2 years I had excelled my target weight and found that I completely turned my life and body around. Now 4 years later I still love the still exercise and keep my body in shape.
How did you first hear about Maxitone products and what made you try them?
After joining my local gym I could see that a lot of members had Maxitone shakers and they were all in very good shape and seemed confident with there routine so I decided to check it out myself, there was such a wide range of products with so many different goals I couldn't wait to try them.
What are your favourite Maxitone products and why?
I really liked using Sculptress capsules and Definity CLA capsules combined it really help me lose that extra weight I wanted to. Now I enjoy Sculptress bars as a snack during the day.
If you could give one tip to anyone reading your story and wanting to replicate your achievements, what would it be?
Never think you can't get the body you want, you can. Keep at it and mix cardio and weight training. When you have a bad day, its ok. Wake up the next day and get back on track. Eat a healthy diet and get the right amount of protein needed your body needs. You will see the changes and that will give you more and more motivation.
What's been the single best thing about the changes you've made?
Being completely happy with the body I now have! It's an amazing feeling when I look back at those old photos and see the change. (The new wardrobe was also great fun!!!)
What's your favourite way to exercise?
I really enjoy doing body attack & body pump classes regularly they always get a good sweat up. But sometimes a good run really gets the stress out.
How do you treat yourself when you've achieved something positive?
I go shopping...(of course)!!!
What made you enter the Maxitone Body of 2009 competition?
My boyfriend and I were sitting one night when I was ordering from your website and he saw the competition advertised and said I should go for it after all the weight I had lost I thought why not!!!
