At the beginning of September 2011, SureSlim East London arranged a Live Radio Weightloss Challenge with a public phone-in/sms competition where one lucky winner would win a complete Body Make-over, prize value in excess of R16 000.

Our local Christian Community Radio Station Link FM has a broadcast area of 100km radius, which takes in East London, Bhisho, King Williamstown and Butterworth areas and our Link FM Radio competitors were Lunchbox DJ Gary Gerber, Link FM’s Sales and Marketing Manager Graeme Mountfort and Elise Thyssen, Personal Assistant at Link.

All three Competitors had some kilograms to lose (you know those “unnoticed” kilograms that seem to creep on every year, making you readjust your clothing size accordingly) and they had 4 weeks in which to see who could lose the most weight.

Elise, Gary and Graeme visited our Clinic 3 weeks before the start of the competition so that we could send them for their blood tests and arrange to have their personalised programs in place for the start of the competition on August 1st. From the outset, all three were incredibly focused and excited to take on the challenge.

Debbie Tuckett, owner of the Sureslim Wellness Clinics in the Border region, would weigh and assess all three on the next 4 Fridays, just before announcing their results live on air. There was a half an hour slot, where listeners could sms questions and Debbie would be chatting about health and nutrition related subjects.

Wow! The combined results were truly inspiring! Week one saw a combined weightloss of 11.9kgs. Week 2, a more modest 2.7kgs, but our competitors had now accumulated a centimetre loss of 17.1. Week 3 gave us combined kilogram loss of 6.2 and the final weeks results were 4.1 kilograms with a 4 week total of 25.5kg and 47.3 centimeters between the three competitors.

We had a very exciting final show where we did the Listeners draw live – our winner being Ellen Chewe and she was indeed a very excited lady who received:

A SureSlim Living Slim program with full support
A year’s gym membership at Body Culture Gym, Beacon Bay

When Ellen reaches her goal at end of November 2011, we will present her with the rest of her prize, being;

Manicure and Pedicure by Exquisite Nails
Designer outfit by Toast Boutique
Facial and Make-up by Soul Essence
Hair by Corne’ at Headz

In just 7 weeks after the start of the Link FM competition, our competitors totals now are:

Gary - 11 kgs and 22.5cm and within 2kgs of his goal weight
Graeme – 8.6kgs and 15.1 cm and within 2kgs of his goal weight
Elise – 16.7kgs and 30.5cm – that is an amazing average of 2.38 kilograms a week.

All three of them attest to how their energy, vitality and mood has improved, how they no longer crave “junk” food and how their blood pressure, heart rates and visceral fat levels have improved, adding years and quality to their lives.

Thank you very much to all of our wonderful sponsors and well done to the Link FM team who were so focused, cheerful and inspired.
