Success Story - Kevin Stevens
What was supposed to be a routine visit to the doctors on the 13th February 2007 turned out to be a fight to make it to retirement age. The doctor asked me what I wanted to do when I retired, I said that I wanted to go around Australia and enjoy the country. He said that I should retire at 50, as I would be dead at 60.
I panicked and thought that now was the time to lose weight. I visited the Terry White Chemist Maryborough that same day and made the decision to go on the Program.
I weighed in at 150kg and had a waist measurement of 153.5cm. After being on the program for 7 months I lost 39.2kg and after 9 months I lost 43.4kg.
As I started to lose the weight I found plenty of energy to burn and my whole outlook on life was changing from the shy person that I was to a ball of energy. I was walking 7km 4 days a week and rode my bike for up to 28km.
I was going faster and most of my life was back on track so I made the decision that when I got down to 90kg I would do something that I have always wanted to do… skydiving!
On March 26th 2008 I reached my goal and jumped out of a plane on March 30th 2008.
I survived and am now living a very healthy and happy life.
