Annamarie du Plessis, a 49-year-old from Pretoria, has always been a loving wife and dedicated mother to her 24-year-old daughter. With a career as an Operations & Quality Coordinator, she has been busy juggling family life and work. However, towards the end of 2023, Annamarie realized that she needed to make a significant change regarding her weight and health.
Annamarie’s journey towards better health began after she was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. This condition served as a wake-up call, prompting her to take action to improve her health. The combination of not eating correctly, minimal exercise, and stress had contributed to her weight gain, making her realize that it was time to seek help.
“I was on the brink of losing my health. I knew I had to make a change,” she shares.
She first heard about the Slender Wonder program through friends during the Nuwe Jy challenge. Inspired by their success and motivated to reclaim her health, Annamarie decided to join the program.
“Slender Wonder was my second chance. It felt like the support I needed was finally within reach,” she recalls.
The Slender Wonder program offered Annamarie a structured and supportive approach to weight loss. Initially, it was an adjustment to change her eating habits and meal preparation, but the support from the Slender Wonder team made all the difference.
“I love the Slender Wonder program! It was a mind shift for me, but as I followed it 100%, the results started to speak for themselves. I now feel like it’s embedded in me, and it’s part of my lifestyle,” she reflects.
One of the most motivating aspects for Annamarie was seeing consistent results during her weigh-ins. The encouragement from the team and fellow participants kept her inspired to stay committed to her goals.
“The first two weeks were tough, but when I started seeing results, it motivated me to push forward,” she shares with a smile.
Annamarie faced challenges, particularly with late-night snacking while watching television. To overcome this, she replaced her usual snacks with healthier options like Provitas, learning to control her cravings effectively.
“Discipline was crucial. I learned that I could enjoy my evenings without unhealthy snacks,” she explains.
Annamarie is currently on the Go Moderate phase of the program, having lost an impressive 14.3 kg in just five months. She started at 72.4 kg and is now aiming for 56 kg.
“I’m not just looking at weight loss; I’m focused on my overall health,” she emphasizes.
The physical benefits of her weight loss have been profound. Annamarie feels more energetic and active, able to engage with her family and take part in activities without feeling weighed down.
“I can now climb stairs with ease and enjoy life with my family. My confidence has soared, and I feel beautiful again,” she states proudly.
Annamarie believes that anyone struggling with weight should consider the Slender Wonder program. “This program is not just about losing weight; it’s about changing your lifestyle. You receive the support you need to succeed,” she advises.
With her newfound energy and commitment, Annamarie is determined to maintain her results and continue her healthy lifestyle. She plans to engage in regular exercise, drink plenty of water, and make conscious food choices.
“I don’t want to go back to the old me. I’m excited about my journey and who I see in the mirror now,” she concludes with enthusiasm.
Annamarie du Plessis’s transformation is a testament to the power of support, commitment, and the right mindset. Through her journey with Slender Wonder, she has not only lost weight but has also regained her confidence and passion for life.
