Yet again I was losing the battle with my weight. I was “fat” and unhealthy. I was putting myself at risk for diabetes or worst still... a heart attack. My knees and my back were deteriorating. The harder I tried to lose weight, the more I put on. It has now been 18 weeks since I was introduced to Betrim and the results speak volumes. I have lost 29kg and have dropped from a size 24 to a 16-14. My work colleagues could not believe the transformation that was happening before their very eyes. More importantly, my health has improved 100%. I no longer have back pains or aching knees. I actually have a spring in my step (even in high heels). I feel more alert, energetic and I sleep better at night.
I was a food-a-holic and needed help. Betrim has been the easiest eating plan I have ever done. There are no special tricks. Just good healthy eating combined with portion control. The variety of the different menus made it easy not to get bored or lose interest. Every week the weight kept coming off. At no point did my weight ever plateau. I could not believe that something this easy was working and this inspired me even more. A work colleague was so impressed with my results and the timeframe that it took to achieve my weight loss, that she too has joined the Betrim program. I still have another 15kg or so to go and I know that when I reach my goal weight, the weight will stay off. Betrim has given me the platform on which the foundation has been built for a happier and healthier future......I’ve gained my life back.
Thank you to the Betrim team, especially Maria and Josie for all your support and help.

Exactly one month before my forty third birthday, I had a serious heart attack. 100% blockage in my right artery. But the thing that I’ll always remember the most from that was hearing the doctor say the word “obese” in describing me. I had never in a million years thought I would ever hear that word said about or to me.
I was almost 145 kilograms when I started the Betrim program and I am on aspirin, Plavix, and Minax for my heart. Atacand for my blood pressure and Crestor for my cholesterol. I slept at night wearing the mask from a sleep apnea machine. I was a mess. Physically I was awful.
Now, eighteen weeks later, I weigh 113 kilograms. I’ve put my sleep apnea machine away. And while I’m still on my heart medication for now, Crestor is no longer on the agenda and my blood pressure medicine has been cut in half. My doctor and I both hope to halve it again in three months time. And I’m only thirteen kilograms from my goal weight. And all through the supportive people at Betrim. I literally owe my life to this program.
How do you thank people who literally give you the means to save your life? All I can say is a very humble “Thank You” to Maria and Josie.
Thank you!

For now Im loving my new body... better still loving my new life... nothing can wipe the smile of my face as you can see from my most recent photo's. I'll keep you all updated on my progress.

Lana and I were fed up with feeling unhealthy, lethargic and unhappy.   Maria at Be Trim has been absolutely amazing – she guided us through the program all the way – she can be a tough cookie, however, it’s all worth it!!!  The program was easier than it seemed. We were not looking forward to the weighing off, no bread and no alcohol!  However, with lots of yummy recipes and the variety of them, we found it fun and rewarding – Bianca is a bread-o-holic and didn’t even miss any bread or other wheat products!!   We were both on the program from February to April 2009; Lana lost 14 kgs and 42 cms  and Bianca lost 17kgs (and 46 cms).  During the program we started to feel healthy again, have lots more energy and we were happy and enjoying life even more!  
We are both maintaining our weight and are happy with our new bodies.  THANK YOU Maria and Be Trim!!!

I had been overweight for a long time - sick of making excuses I decided to do the Betrim program after seeing a friend literally shrink in front of me, I lost almost 28kgs in a few months and have effectively been maintaining for almost a year.
People ask me all the time was the program hard to do and I tell them it was the easiest thing I have done. I didnt need to buy anything special, I ate 'normal' foods like meat, vegetables, fish and I ate 3 times a day - no meal replacements. I had and still have the support of the team there, the whole experience has been great.
If anybody with a weight issue asks I tell them 'go to Betrim' everytime!

"Being unhealthy, overweight and down was becoming quite overwhelming. I had lost my self esteem and decided to so something about it. After a girlfriend told me about the ‘Be Trim’ program and seeing how successful she was week to week, I decided to give it a go. My goal was a lifestyle change and this program taught me exactly that.
The program taught me portion control, choosing healthier options and not to eat when I wasn’t hungry! Preparing my meals became a part of my day to day routine which funnily enough, I enjoyed! There are no ‘frozen’ or ‘pre-packaged’ meals – this program takes you back to the basics – protein and vegies! I also looked forward to getting weighed every week and being motivated and encouraged by the staff – without them, my journey would not have been as successful.
I lost 9 kilos in 5 weeks and have successfully maintained my weight 12 months after completing the program. I have not done anything drastic to achieve this – I simply learnt to make better choices.
I recommend this program whole heartedly. It really did change my entire outlook on life.
My sincere thanks and gratitude to Maria and her team, as they have taught me about boundaries, making the right choices and enjoying life!"
