Newsletter Copy – Susanne Nona
Just a year ago, Susanne Nona was suffering with chronic
fatigue and weighed 88kgs. One night, whilst watching The Biggest Loser at
home, Susanne decided it was time to make a change. The program inspired her to
get fit and change her lifestyle – and now she’s down to 70kgs and feeling
happier and healthier than ever!
Susanne, 29, is originally from Perth but has lived in
Kalgoorlie for eight years. She lives with her husband Joey and their two
children Malachi, 6 and new baby Amelia, 18 months. She’s agreed to share her
story with us.
Susanne said: “I have suffered from chronic fatigue for many
years following a bout of glandular fever at 17 years of age. It’s a really
hard illness to deal with and it took years for doctors to diagnose me
properly. There is no cure for the illness, symptoms of which include low
immune system, aches and pains and fatigue; however I have found that exercise
has helped heaps. Losing weight has definitely improved all of my symptoms and
given me a new lease of life.
“I began my journey after watching the Biggest Loser. It
really inspired me to change my lifestyle and get fit and healthy. Many times I
have tried to lose weight and haven’t been very successful. I needed help. The
reality is I needed to stop looking for quick fixes and work hard to change my
life. I began researching ways to kick start my new lifestyle and settled on
the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. I can’t recommend this more
highly – the support, mindset lessons, exercise and nutrition plans have helped
me so much I’m now on my fourth round. It truly changed the way I thought about
food and it revolutionised my lifestyle.
“In addition to the Michelle Bridges plan, I also joined the
Oasis. I made the most of the free support that the Oasis offers and had my
fitness appraisal and received my personalised gym program. This helped me get
going in the right direction and get a feel of what I enjoyed and what worked.
I regularly get my programs updated to keep me interested and challenged; Rae,
one of the Oasis gym instructors, has been amazing and helped inspire and push
me so much.
“My workouts are always varied; I complete my gym program at
the Oasis, do group fitness classes like Attack and Combat (I started out with
the lower impact ones and worked my way up), I do some boxing, circuit work and
a lot of running with a family friend. Kate has helped me believe in myself again
and continue to reach my potential, which she really knows, because of growing
up with my family. This means, I have to
work harder than I would like to get away with! All in all I try to do something
four or five days a week.”
“I love running and keep setting myself little goals. I can
now run 1km in 5 minutes, so my new goals now are to run 2km, 5km and complete
the Women’s Triathlon this year. I’m enjoying my journey so much that I’m
studying my Cert 3 in Fitness now… so who knows where that will take me!
“I just love the Oasis. The reception staff are so nice and
always remember my name, the gym staff are so qualified and inspiring and my
children just adore the crèche girls. I’ve been to other gyms and they just
don’t even compare.
“I am aiming to lose another 5kgs before I reach my target
weight; but I’m well on my way. At this point I want to share my story and
encourage other people. It is possible. It just takes a lot of hard work. Don’t
make excuses – no matter what your situation you can work round it. Don’t be
afraid to reach your dreams. Just Focus and Do it!!
