Congrats! Great achievement  

well done 

Well done 🙌 

Well done, what is your secret? Please share your daily routine 

wowza👌what brand of jeans is that? 

The jeans are from foschini... they currently have a sale on all their jeans so it made sense to check it out  

I joined slender wonder at the end of August... it’s monitored by doctors. Essentially I have a protein shake for breakfast, 2 meals of veg & protein then two pieces of fruit a day. I only exercise twice a week and on those days I have either an extra piece of fruit or 4 provitas. It hasn’t been easy but it’s been worth it. 

Congratulations! Best feeling ever! Can I ask which protein shake you use?  

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈 

Hi Nini - I would love to hear your long term experience with slender wonder. I did it in 2014, and lost weight without a doubt, but I found it unsustainable in the long term and gained the weight back when I had my two kids. I also believe that the injections (if you are using them) - the HCG which surpress your hunger - messed with my body's ability to regulate leptin by itself. It is essentially a very low calorie keto diet though - and I have found success doing keto now by myself, though at least 1500cal a day 

21kg is an amazing achievement though - really well done. When I did it i went from 77kg (more or less where I happen to be now) down to 60kg in less than 3 months. I think long term I wouldn't do it again, but it's really hard work so you can be very proud 

I also joined Slender Wonder 3 years ago. I lost 27kg so quickly but I struggled immensely afterwards, that diet was never meant for me. For 2 years I could never feel when I'm hungry or full. I also struggled with insane binge-eating disorder afterwards. After 5 months on the injections, my body suddenly woke up. I tell you...it was hungry, it was demonic. Haha. But that's my experience and I now know my body better. Well done on your weightloss!! You feel sooo good after all those kgs are gone. I wish you all of the best on Stabilization & Maintenance phases. xxxx  

What an achievement!👋 Well done! 

Thanks Jeanpant... I still have 10kg to go before stabilizing. I am very nervous about keeping it off as I’ve not heard about many people that have maintained the weight loss after slender wonder...  

Awesome. You can be very proud of your hard work! 

That is do amazing. Wish I could get back there. My weight is 65 and I can only fit a size 14 😭 

Nini, you can do it. ♥️ If I could go back, I would've locked myself up in an institution to "dry" out. I suppose my advice would be, when you get to Stabilization/Maintenance - eat foods with high fibre + low calorie density. One thing I found which reduced my binge-urges was potatoes - not fried, not beer-battered. Just potato - mashed or bland with a bit of mustard/tomato sauce. Also - on Slender Wonder I saved a list of cheat foods to my phone, that I craved, but I'll eat them at a later stage when I'm at goalweight. (pizza, burgers, etc.) Throw those thoughts away. There's a new Nini in town. Cut ties with the old Nini. Xxxx  

Wow that’s awesome 🥳 

How long did it take for you to loose the weight?
