Less Wendy, more life

After shedding 45 kilograms, Point Cook resident Wendy Watson feels fantastic.

At her heaviest, Wendy weighed 136 kilograms and often felt tired and sluggish.

“I couldn’t buy nice clothes, I struggled to walk up steps and I even struggled to walk and run with my kids,” she said.

After booking flights back home to the UK, Wendy decided it was time to lose the weight before seeing her family and friends again.

“That night I went straight to Jenny Craig in Werribee and started my journey from there.”

After trying “all the diets in the world”, Wendy attributes her weight loss success this time to her consultant Kelly, who she says was her mentor and motivator throughout the whole experience.

“I’ve lost 45 kilos and never felt better. I look younger, have more energy, get compliments every day from people at work. I can do 40 minutes on my elliptical trainer easily. I’m now looking fit and fab at 50 and not fat!” says Wendy.

A year after starting her journey, Wendy says she constantly receives positive comments about her transformation.

“Yesterday someone at work stopped me and said I looked absolutely fabulous. Not only do I look slimmer, but my skin, hair and nails look good as well,” she said.

Wendy says she feels more confident in herself since shedding the weight.
