Dear reader,
As always thank you for choosing Slender Wonder as your trusted weight
loss programme.
Winter is upon us again and we have to prepare our minds to stay focused
and on track when it comes to making healthy food choices in order to
maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In this edition we have yet again interviewed patients who have lost weight,
improved their lives and completely transformed their bodies. May their
stories inspire you to stay motivated on your weight loss journey.
We have also shared a few new recipes with you and would like to remind
you that both Slender Wonder recipe books can be bought from your
Slender Wonder doctor.
Furthermore we wish you well on your Slender Wonder journey during
winter and may you celebrate your new body in spring.
Yours in health,
Riaan Jacobs

12 weeks ago 18 contestants entered the Parklands Life
Hospital Slender Wonder weight loss challenge in
conjunction with East Rand Stereo & Breezology.
Doctor Sharon Lion-Cachet was the representing
Slender Wonder doctor and she shared her experience
below.
It was my great privilege to be involved in the 2015 Life
Springs Parkland Clinic Slender Wonder Challenge run
in combination with 93.9 FM East Rand Stereo and
Breezology. The challenge was taken on by 18 hospital
staff members and was launched on 29th of January at
Parkland Clinic. A day of interviews had been conducted
before the launch to screen the potential participants. 18
participants were selected. At the launch a full
presentation of the Slender Wonder Programme was
given by myself outlining the different phases of the
programme. Henry Bruinette and Angeline Morakoane
as well as Hantie Jansen Van Vuuren from 93.9 FM East
Rand Stereo attended the launch. Henry kept the
audience smiling with his sense of humour. Riaan
Jacobs MD of Slender Wonder welcomed the
participants and encouraged them with humour and
style. Dawid Boshoff (loss 83kg and still losing) and
Nikki Van Wyk (loss 38kg) shared their personal stories
and were a great source of inspiration for the new group.
Yolandi van Wyk did an amazing job managing the
marketing and social media aspects of the challenge.
Each participant had to participate in daily posts on the
Facebook page dedicated to the challenge, as well as
support each other on the Parkland's Challenge
Whatsapp group. This gave them the opportunity to
share the journey- good and hard days- as well as ask
questions about the programme. They shared ideas,
recipes and tips and it was a great source of support.
Participants were weighed every 14 days at the hospital
and given their boosters and new products at each of
these weigh ins for the duration of the 3 month
challenge. The excitement on the hospital was tangible
on these Wednesday mornings! The competition was
tight and the challenge was on!!
The Breakfast show with Henry and Angeline kept the
public updated and there were many interviews with
doctors, previous successful patients as well as stories
of inspiration. The final weigh in was very close and we
were able to see the participants fading away every 2
weeks!
Our final prize giving was held at Life Springs Parkland
Clinic on May 6th 2015 and the results were as follows-
1st Magdalena Davids 18.5kg
2nd Jacques Van Heerden 18.0kg
3rd Janine Van der Merwe 15.8kg
4th Dr Brenda Watson 14.2kg
5th Zanette Van Heerden 13.5kg
6th Zenobia Mertsch 13.4kg
