recently came to an end and one of the contestants, Hennie from Randfontein, has a lot to smile about.
Despite not winning the series, Hennie committed to a brand-new, healthier lifestyle with the Slender Wonder programme, and managed to lose a whopping 53,1kg. Hennie, who is 30 years old, is married to Karen and together they have two kids, Esmé ) and Heinrich . The main reason he entered, which involved a weight loss challenge, was that he wanted to be able to move around more easily and to play with his children again.
This is coming from a man who readily admits he had been overweight for the largest part of his adult life. On his 21st birthday, he already weighed 102kg, and over the years, this had increased to 149,1kg. , Hennie's goal was to reach a weight of 110kg by the end of the series. Hennie went on to surprise himself and everyone else by bringing his weight down to 106,3kg. Now, a few weeks later, Hennie weighs 96kg.
His other piece of advice is to start understanding that 500g of something here and another 500g of something there aren't just small portions that will disappear."It all adds up and it shows up when you climb onto the dreaded bathroom scale!" he explains."Now, all I have to do is to convince my family to adopt my healthier eating habits as well," he laughs.
