Graeme - lost 60kg in 31 weeks
“My self-confidence has increased 100 fold”
  I have battled with my weight ever since I was 11 years old. I still to this day have no idea what happened, but it was like a switch being flicked and I just started gaining weight. The weight gain continued into High School and it was only in Std 9, when I started going to gym and playing senior level rugby that I lost all my excess weight and for the first time in years, looked and felt great.
However, after I matriculated and stopped gym and playing rugby, the kilos slowly started to creep back on. It was only prior to my getting married in 1999 that I decided to do something. So, I went on diet (not SureSlim) and lost around 10kg, but stopped well short of my goal weight. My reason for this was that the weight was coming off so slowly that the diet really became more hassle than it was worth and I totally lost my motivation. It was around this time that I just accepted the fact that I was overweight and there was nothing I could do about it. And so, that is pretty much how life went. My weight slowly, but steadily increased over the years until January of this year.
At this stage, I had been on blood pressure and cholesterol medication for a number of years and even with the medication, my blood pressure was still quite high. My doctor had told me on more than one occasion that I was heading fast towards a stroke or heart attack. Strangely, this on its own was not enough to motivate me to do something about the situation. The big attitude change only happened in January when I found out my wife was pregnant with our second child. It was only then that I realized I had to do something urgently if I wanted to be around long enough to see my children grow up, get married and have kids of their own.
A few years back, my mother-in-law joined SureSlim and lost a fair amount of weight. The results really spoke for themselves – She looked (and still looks) terrific! I was desperate and even though I was very skeptical, I decided to give SureSlim a go. After all, what did I have to lose?
After the blood tests and initial assessment at the SureSlim clinic, I was told that my ideal goal weight should be 95kg. At that stage, I was tipping the scale at a whopping 155.4kg. This meant I had to lose over 60kg to reach my goal – An impossible task as far as I was concerned and thought if I could just get below 120kg, I would be happy. The following week, I received my quick loss plan and started what I thought was going to be a long and difficult journey.
Well, as the weeks went by, the weight just kept coming off and it very quickly got to a stage where I couldn’t wait to go for my weekly weigh-in. The speed at which the weight fell off was all I needed to stay focused and motivated. The support I got from the SureSlim staff and the fact that the diet is so well balance (I was never hungry) helped tremendously as well.
I am extremely delighted to say that after only 31 weeks on the Quick Loss Plan, I not only passed the 120kg mark, but am now marginally below my goal weight of 95kg. My pants have dropped 5 sizes from 117cm to 92cm, shirts from 3XL to Large and I had to have my wedding ring resized from a size Z+2 to a W (5 sizes smaller). I have a whole new wardrobe now and it is fantastic to be able to walk into any shop and find clothes that fit, and to be able to now buy designer labels.
The difference SureSlim has made in my life is phenomenal. Most people who haven’t seen me since before I started the diet don’t even recognize me now and everyone tells me that I look 10 to 15 years younger. I have so much more energy and my self-confidence has increased 100 fold. The health benefits have been amazing as well. I am no longer on cholesterol medication and my blood pressure medication has been halved with all readings well within the normal, healthy range. I feel great!!
Thanks SureSlim!!
