Background
Good day Dear Reader,
In March 2022 I went for a knee scope and the doctor recommended that I should go for a knee replacement. I had so much pain in my knee and my lower back. I then went to a biokineticist, Magdel Massyn, and she diagnosed me with sciatica, scoliosis and osteoarthritis.
It then hit me, I should do something drastically to reduce my weight and improve my health. From March 2022 to July 2022 I just reduced the amount of food I eat. My biokineticist, recommended I consult with Dr Marika Van Lelyveld, a medical doctor specializing in the weight loss programmes of Slenderwonder.
In March 2022 I weighed 94 kilograms (207 pounds). I started my weight loss program in July 2022 and by March 2023 my weight decreased to 58 kilograms (127 pounds).
Today I eat a normal healthy diet, just smaller portions and I keep to 5 meals per day and drink 3 litres of water per day. I also go to the gym 4 times per week.
I am still using some products of Slenderwonder, such as their protein shake and vitamins.
My success can only be attributed to good planning, discipline, routine and support. I would like to thank the following people for their constant support and encouragement during this weight loss process:
- Magdel Massyn – my Biokineticist
- Dr Marika van Lelyveld – my weight loss mentor
- Slenderwonder and their Facebook Support Group
- My family and friends
- My husband – my motivation and inspiration
