#EP25: From 20 stone to 12 challenges in 12 months – Amy proved to herself what’s possible.

In this episode, James Taylor sits down with Amy Short to talk about her incredible transformation—one that goes far beyond weight loss.

At 28, Amy hit 20 stone and knew she had to make a change. With a past filled with yo-yo diets, a negative relationship with food, and seeing exercise only as punishment, she was ready to rewrite her story. Fast forward to now: Amy’s dropped six stone, discovered a love for weightlifting, and completed 12 fitness challenges in 12 months.

Her drive? Proving to herself just how much she’s capable of. 🔥

Inspired by her dad, who battled Alzheimer’s, Amy shifted her focus toward health, longevity, and mindset. Through injury setbacks, COVID, and even the heartbreaking loss of her dad, she kept showing up. She learned discipline, resilience, and that movement is a privilege—and it’s not just about how you look, but what your body can do.

Amy talks about overcoming self-doubt, finding her tribe, and how the biggest wins often happen outside the gym. This is a story of mindset, community, and becoming the strongest version of yourself—inside and out.
