In the vibrant heart of Gauteng, in Elspark Germiston, lives Petro du Preez, a 42-year-old mother of five, whose inspiring transformation story with the Nuwe Jy and Slender Wonder program exemplifies resilience and determination. Having started her journey with Slender Wonder back in 2016, Petro’s latest adventure with the program showcases her ongoing commitment to health and well-being.
Petro’s life took a significant turn after her last child, which left her grappling with weight gain. Despite initial success with Slender Wonder, where she lost 29 kg, a combination of challenges—including the Covid-19 pandemic, which halted her exercise routine, and personal family stresses—led to a weight gain of 14 kg between 2020 and 2023. It was a stark reminder when she saw a picture of herself at Christmas 2023 that propelled her back into action.
“Seeing that photo was a wake-up call. I realized I needed to make a change again, and Slender Wonder offered me that second chance through their Nuwe Jy program,” says Petro. With a renewed sense of purpose, Petro re-engaged with the program in 2024.
Petro’s overall experience with the Slender Wonder program has been transformative. “The program was challenging at first, but as I found my balance, it became easier. The support from the Brooklyn’s Slender Wonder group was incredible. They are the best team to guide you through your weight loss journey. The program is affordable and has a holistic approach that goes beyond just dieting—it’s about adopting a healthier lifestyle.”
Among the aspects of the program that Petro enjoyed the most were the initial progress and the camaraderie with other participants. “The first two weeks were tough, but seeing the weight come off and being part of a supportive group made it worthwhile. The inbody scale helped us identify fat areas, and learning about water retention was eye-opening.”
However, the journey was not without its hurdles. “Staying disciplined was the hardest part. I had to adjust to eating less more frequently and overcoming my mental blocks. The pills were not something I was used to, and remembering to take them was a challenge. But I persevered and did everything I could to succeed.”
Petro’s commitment paid off. She lost 15.1 kg in just three months, a feat she attributes to the structured approach of Slender Wonder, which provided a rapid and effective weight loss solution compared to previous methods she had tried, such as gummy berry juice and intermittent fasting.
What sets Slender Wonder apart, according to Petro, is its emphasis on lifestyle change rather than quick fixes. “It’s not just a diet; it’s a lifestyle. Slender Wonder supports you through every step, helping you make sustainable changes. Your mindset is crucial—it’s about wanting to change.”
The physical and emotional benefits have been profound. “I feel more confident and better about myself. I no longer hide behind loose clothing and have a renewed zest for life. The program has positively impacted my emotional well-being, helping me overcome mental struggles and see myself in a new light.”
Petro’s improved self-esteem and confidence have also enhanced her relationships. “I’m more positive and a better mother and wife. My confidence has soared, and I can enjoy life more fully.”
Petro encourages anyone struggling with weight and self-esteem to consider Slender Wonder. “Do it for yourself. The program is designed to help you make lasting changes. It’s not just about losing weight but about improving your overall health and quality of life.”
Currently, Petro is on the stabilization plan, aiming to shed a few more kilograms and maintain her results. “I plan to stay active by participating in races and incorporating weight training into my routine. I’m committed to making healthy choices for myself and my family to avoid returning to my old habits.”
Petro’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the effectiveness of the Slender Wonder program. Her story is an inspiring example of how determination and the right support can lead to a healthier, happier life.
