Sue Turner's Journey: 2012-2013
Personal Assistant, Female, 35
God placed some amazing people in my life last year (2012). My trainer, and Dr Stander, I met in July and August, respectively. The training was just cardio for the first 4 months, as it was all I was just barely capable of doing, and I got home every night completely broken!
Dr Stander and I started our journey together where I crippled the scales at 109.6kgs. I am 1.72m tall, which means I was morbidly obese. I have been overweight since primary school. I tried every diet (some good, some bad, some extreme, some just completely crazy and they all resulted in what we’ve all read about and seen – pile it all back on and then some!). But something clicked with this eating plan. I have never felt so alive! And the most important thing I learnt is to nourish my body with food (no, not something processed that was created in a factory that wasn’t even a ‘food’ 100 years’ ago). Fuel your body with what God gave us to eat.
Dr Stander’s ratios of food groups and keeping things simple enabled me to drop 30kgs. I had a hiccup along the way – I fractured my coccyx and wrist falling at gym. But despite this, I have continued to lose. And will continue to lose until I reach my goal weight. Bikini fitness shoot to follow. Watch this space!!!
