Love stories come in many forms, but few are as transformative as Dave and Adel’s. Adel and Dave Annandale embarked on a life-changing journey with Slender Wonder, transforming not only their bodies but also their lifestyles, confidence, and overall well-being. Together, they have lost an incredible 134kg, proving that true commitment and support can make any goal achievable.
For both Adel and Dave, weight had always been a struggle. They often found themselves sitting on the sidelines, avoiding activities, and feeling limited by their size. Like many others, they made promises to “start on Monday” or “after this event,” but nothing truly stuck—until they found Slender Wonder.
Adel and Dave knew it was time for a change, and this time, they had each other for support.
When they started Slender Wonder, they both had fears—Adel worried about feeling hungry and giving up, while Dave was concerned about how to maintain his results long-term. However, their commitment and mutual encouragement carried them through those early doubts.
With structured meal plans, portion control, and unwavering determination, they quickly began seeing results.
The biggest game changer? Accountability. Having each other meant they could push through the tough days, celebrate victories, and remind one another of their “why.”
Since starting the program, the changes have been nothing short of extraordinary: Adel lost an incredible 80kg, going from a size 14 to a size 8 while Dave lost and amazing 54kg, reaching his goal weight of 76kg. Both have maintained their weight loss for months and continue to build strength and endurance.
They have gone from watching life on the sidelines to actively participating in it.
For Adel, who was once reliant on medication for cholesterol and diabetes, is now free of both—her doctor so stunned he demanded an in-person visit to confirm her health turnaround. “I went from waiting around to jumping into life,” she says. She walks into stores, confidently picking size 34 clothes off the rack, a far cry from her old reality.
One of the most unexpected moments? When Adel tried to verify her banking app after losing weight, only to find that the system didn’t recognize her! Her ID photo no longer matched her real-life transformation—leading her to apply for an entirely new ID card. A small hassle she now laughs about.
For Dave, a defining moment came when he returned to cycling after 21 years—a passion his size had once buried. “Getting back in the saddle felt full-circle,” he says.
Weight loss didn’t just change their health—it strengthened their marriage. As their energy levels skyrocketed, they started doing more activities together. From long-distance hiking to ziplining and even tobogganing, they have embraced adventures they never thought possible.
Maintaining weight loss is just as important as losing it, and the couple faced their fair share of challenges:
- Gaining back a few kilos and learning to adjust (Dave initially gained 5kg but quickly refocused and returned to his goal weight).
- Navigating social events, birthdays, and holidays while making smart, conscious food choices.
- Overcoming emotional eating habits and replacing them with a structured, mindful approach to nutrition.
Through it all, they kept each other accountable and reminded themselves that this wasn’t just about losing weight—it was about embracing a new way of life.
Since hitting their goals, Adel and Dave’s entire perspective on food and exercise has changed. They now see food as fuel rather than an emotional crutch. Their energy levels have doubled, and their sleep quality has improved drastically.
Gone are the days of feeling sluggish and restricted. Instead, they are planning vacations based on activities rather than where they can “just relax.” They both train regularly, maintain portion control, and continue setting new fitness goals.
For anyone hesitant to start their own journey, Adel and Dave share their message:
“At least take the first step. Do you want to be a spectator in your own life, or do you want to be an active participant?
Slender Wonder is not a diet—it’s a lifestyle shift that, when embraced, will change everything.”
Now that they’ve transformed their bodies and minds, the Annandale’s are focused on maintaining their results while continuously improving.
Their next goals include building more muscle and strength while maintaining their weight, and exploring new fitness challenges together while they continue to inspire others to take control of their health.
Adel and Dave’s transformation is more than just numbers on a scale—it’s a testament to resilience, dedication, and the power of love and partnership. They have reclaimed their lives, proven that change is possible, and now wake up every morning ready to embrace the world.
“Slender Wonder has given us a second chance at life—together, we are healthier, happier, and 134kg lighter.”
