Madelein wins by losing
By losing weight, this local mother started gaining so much more.
Madelien Johnson knew that losing weight was going to be tough, but the rewards she gained from it far outweighed her wildest expectations.
In her weight loss journey thus far, she managed to lose a total of 22,8kgs and kept it off more than a year.
It would seem that all the planning, sweat and tears paid off when she was announced as the Weigh-Less Woman of Year at a gala event on 11 February.
As a child Madelein never had weight issues but the idea of eating healthy did not appeal to her as she imagined healthy people eating like rabbits.
Many years of unhealthy eating finally took its toll on Madelein’s body in 2012 after the birth of her second daughter.
The final chapter to her unhealthy lifestyle came in 2014 when one morning she could no longer fit into her size 40 jeans.
When Madelein first joined the Weigh-Less program, she was astonished with the amount of food she was allow to eat.
She then started planning her meals ahead according to her tailor made eating plan and the rest was history.
Losing weight did not only help her gain more self-confidence but helped her to again look people in their eyes.
As part of her weight loss journey, Madelein sold all her old clothes to buy a brand new wardrobe for her new slim figure.
Whats more Madelein has a new profound energy to be a hands on mother for her two children and still manages to make time to get the sweat flowing at a local gym on a daily basis.
