TCA – Transformation, Commitment, Achievement

Hello my name is Peter Thompson and I am a 30 year old constable in the Police Service of Scotland.

My story began in 2005 when I was tipping the scales at nearly 18 stone, I had always wanted to become a Police Officer and one day I realised I just had to do something if I was going to achieve this. So, I made major lifestyle changes, followed a new diet and fitness regime and ended up shedding around 4 stone! This was both an emotional and physical journey and finally I was accepted into the Police Service in 2006.

This has been a huge turnaround in my life and I am thrilled to say that I am taking part in this year’s Toughest Competitor Alive event – something I could never imagined doing 8 years ago!
