Charmaine Faria, a 47-year-old tax practitioner from Roodepoort, has lived in the area her entire life. A devoted wife for 24 years and an active participant in her husband’s motor vehicle repair business, Charmaine’s life was busy but deeply fulfilling. Yet, behind the scenes, Charmaine struggled with her weight, a challenge she only fully acknowledged through her participation in a competition.
“I had always been trying to manage my weight,” Charmaine shares. “But it was only when I saw the photos from this competition, as I never really realized it before. Despite receiving countless diet tips over the years, it was this moment of self-awareness that truly highlighted my problem.”
Charmaine’s weight gain was attributed to a combination of life’s stresses and everyday challenges. Although she had tried various weight loss methods before—ranging from diet programs to tablets and exercise—none seemed sustainable. The programs were either too taxing or failed to provide lasting results, leaving her feeling discouraged.
Her turning point came when she encountered the Slender Wonder program through the Nuwe Jy 60 Day Program. “I decided to give it a try,” Charmaine recalls. “My sisters encouraged me to try this 60-day weight loss program. I didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned and how much I enjoyed it, especially the food.”
Initially, Charmaine felt apprehensive about the program. “In the beginning, it was scary because it was all so new to me,” she admits. “But as I progressed, I started to love the program. The food was enjoyable, and I began to see results every week. It was a refreshing change from what I had experienced before.”
Among the aspects Charmaine enjoyed most were the food and the practical tips provided. “I now make better food choices and understand portion control. Even simple things like hot water with a slice of lemon have become a part of my routine—so much so that I’ve even gotten my husband hooked on it!”
The journey was not without its challenges. Charmaine found it difficult to stick to her diet during social events, such as birthdays. However, with guidance from her doctor, she learned to navigate these situations by making healthier choices and modifying menu options to suit her diet.
Charmaine’s dedication has paid off significantly. Since February, she has lost 29 kg, with 18.3 kg lost during the Nuwe Jy program alone. She finds herself full of energy and no longer feels tired or sluggish. “I can now run around the workshop, do things more efficiently, and get up in the morning with enthusiasm.”
The impact of this weight loss extends beyond physical health. “I used to be quite reserved,” Charmaine notes. “Now, I’m more outgoing and eager to engage with others. It feels like I’m living a new life, full of energy and excitement.”
Charmaine’s transformation has also boosted her confidence and self-esteem. “People—especially men—often ask me for my diet plan, and clients who’ve known me for years can’t stop complimenting me,” she says proudly.
For those considering the Slender Wonder program, Charmaine’s recommendation is clear: “I would suggest it to anyone who has struggled with weight loss in the past. It’s not just a diet but a lifestyle change. The food is fantastic, and once you experience it, the mental shift towards healthier living will come naturally.”
Charmaine Faria’s story is a testament to the power of making informed, positive changes and embracing a program that not only addresses weight loss but also promotes overall well-being.
