My weight has always been a problem.  I have been to dieticians and tried many diets, which works for about 3 to 4 weeks and then I get tired of it.  I am diabetic, have high blood pressure and an under-active thyroid.  I had little or no energy, used to sleep on my weekends and when I got up, would take a Red Bull so that I could manage to cook a meal for my family.

On 5th December 2009, I went to a Salon in Durban and when I sat on the salon’s low back semi-rounded chair for my haircut, I looked at myself in the mirror and was shocked to see the roll above my tummy fold over the chair.  Horrified, I came home and started to Google the websites to find a solution to my weight problem.

Well, I landed on the site of The Melrose Aesthetic Centre.  I immediately e-mailed them for details and Hardus Bester phoned me advised me that I should try the Detox and Wellness Programme.  It was early December and I told him that I was going to Durban for the holidays and he advised that I should start the programme in January 2010 as nobody wants to diet during the holidays and Christmas.  I started the programme towards the end of January.  At first it was difficult, but with the support of my husband and my colleagues I managed to stick to my improved eating regime.  Well, from my first visit with Dr Cohen to date (9 weeks later) I feel great, have so much energy, play ball and other activities with my kids over the weekends.  I have lost 12 kgs (the most weight I have ever lost) and dropped 2 clothes sizes.  I get compliments from my family, colleagues and my boss on how good I look.  That’s enough motivation for me to keep on going.  I am amazed at myself, it’s been over 2 months and I am still on the programme.

Many Thanks to Dr Cohen for assisting me on this incredible programme
