Together Greg & Sharon lost a staggering 117Kg's

‘You don’t realise how restrictive being overweight can be, but thanks to OptiSlim, my wife and I have a new lease on life and it’s getting better every day.

The tipping point.

It came as a real shock to me. I never noticed I was gaining weight; I just looked in the mirror one day and thought, “what happened? Who is this stranger staring back at me?”

Peeking through the gaps in my fingers I watched as the scales wound their way up to a massive 485lb’s. I was huge, horrified and speechless, and my concern began to grow about what my future would hold, if I had a future at all.

I needed to take dramatic action and headed straight to my doctor to explore my options, if any, of regaining a healthy lifestyle, and when he told me I was too fat for lap band surgery, reality set in and I really started to worry.

It turns out my size posed many obstacles for me to overcome if I was to lose the years of weight build up. It meant I couldn’t exercise without putting undue pressure on my body with even a short walk in my backyard taking my breath away. It was then, with all hope lost and my future hanging in the balance, I made a decision that would ultimately save my life.

Simply replacing two meals a day, including my usual breakfast of bacon and egg sandwiches with a calorie controlled OptiSlim Shake, was the best decision I could have ever made. In 12 months I drank my way through a whopping 77Kg's weight loss and the best thing is that it was so easy. Within only a few weeks, my new outlook on life not only had me feeling more energetic than I could ever remember but also, inspired my wife, Sharon, to join me.

She weighed 140Kg's when she tried her first OptiSlim Shake and has since lost 40Kg's and is still dropping. She says it’s amazing to try on her old pants and actually see how much weight she’s lost; we’ve even had to buy her a whole new wardrobe.

How we did it.

Losing weight had never been easy for us, but starting the day off with a cafe latte flavoured OptiSlim shake is just like having a morning coffee so you don’t even feel like you’re on a diet. For lunch we alternated between an Optislim shake or soup. At dinner we enjoyed a little more freedom with our regular meals including a grilled piece of steak or fish with a small side salad or an Optislim HealthyOption Meal. We chose to cut out alcohol and complemented our eating routine with a little walking and light exercise. All of this helped both of us almost 3Kg's in the first week alone.

Why Optislim.

With every OptiSlim shake or soup providing your recommended daily dietary intake, including 26 vitamins and minerals, it’s the healthy way to lose your excess weight. What’s more, the quality is second to none; you really do need to try it to see how great it actually tastes. We really can’t believe how easy losing weight was with OptiSlim, and now we really are getting the most out of life. We’re enjoying are healthier relationship, while having more energy to do the things we’ve always wanted like playing in the park with our young grandchildren, something we could never have done before OptiSlim. We just wish we had tried it sooner.
