I've lost over 50kgs and now enjoy normal blood pressure

Chris's Journey

Chris (age 49) lives locally in Sydney and recently attended the Nu-Life Day Stay Experience program. Prior to starting here with NuYu Chris had lost his job of 16 years and was suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure - medicated), morbid obesity (148kgs), was depressed and generally feeling terrible. Chris struggled to walk up stairs and avoided any form of exercise at every opportunity.


At first, Chris booked in for a 3 week program with his wife Sharon, however after just 2 weeks and seeing some amazing changes Chris decided to extend his 3 week program to 6 weeks. Ultimately Chris felt that his life was changing in such a dramatic way, for the better, that he ended up staying with us for a total of 10 weeks. In this time Chris experienced:


• Loss of 28kgs (20% of his body weight)
• Loss of over 60cms off his body measurements
• 29.4% reduction in blood pressure (diastolic measure)
• 9.8 point reduction in Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Significant improvement in skin and eye colour tone
• Significant improvement in stamina, cardiovascular capacity, flexibility and overall health


Chris now has the confidence and self belief to find new employment and continue on with his healthy lifestyle. Chris believes that his time at NuYu has been truly amazing;

My time at NuYu has been an amazing journey, I have even placed your company logo inside my passport so that my experience here will always be remembered as one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Thank you. ‘

Chris's current weight loss is over 50kgs and still going strong....

From 96kgs to now running half marathons

Debra's Journey

Debra lives in Sydney and joined us in late 2007 for a 1 week program. Leading up to her time at NuYu Debra was feeling depressed about her weight (96kgs), felt that her eating habits were out of control (eating chocolate/lollies/treats and large volumes of soft drink everyday) and had a severe lack of motivation towards exercise.  

 

Debra’s time at NuYu was spent focusing on making the lifestyle changes necessary to support long term weight loss and ultimately get fitter and healthier. 

 

‘... it’s amazing how easy it is to put everything into practice and still enjoy myself without feeling deprived just by making good choices.’  

 

7 months on, Debra has become an amazing inspiration to herself, her family, friends and everyone else around her. Since NuYu Debra has gone on to lose more than 23 kilos and has found her inner passion for health and fitness again. Debra’s recent list of accomplishments include; 

 

·           recently completed 2 half marathon's, that’s over 20 kilometres (and is already planning to more)

·           is back to playing competition soccer on weekends just like the old days  

·           winner of the ‘Member of the Month’ award at her local gym and PT studio.  

 

 

Congratulations Debra and keep up the great work inspiring us all.

Saving My Family from Morbid Obesity

Jody & Angel's Journey

In early 2008 Jody contacted NuYu desperately seeking help. At 171kgs Jody could no longer perform basic house hold chores or play with her daughter, and was basically ready to give up all hope.

Over the years Jody had tried all of the diets, more than once, had applied (but was rejected each time) to the Biggest Loser television series each year, and in early 2007 even had lap band surgery to overcome her weight problem. 

Sadly, and like many others have experienced, none of these other options worked, Jody just kept putting the weight on....

What’s more, Jody’s weight struggles were also being passed on through her family with an 8 year old daughter who weighed 70kgs (the weight of an average size male)

All in all Jody spent 12 weeks at NuYu learning how to change her life for the better, and she has now returned home to put into practice everything she has learned.

NOW October 2008

Jody and Angel continue to follow the NuYu approach to healthy living and have continued to lose weight and improve their health. Jody's doctor has advised her that Angel is almost at an acceptible ideal weight for her age and Jody has lost more than 45kgs

Jody and Angels amazing results are a credit to their persistent hard work and commitment to improving their lives.

Keep up the great work girls.

 

NuYu helped me beat chronic backpain and type 2 diabetes

Sharon's Journey

Sharon joined NuYu in 2008 at 100.4kgs with debilitating lower back pain and severe type 2 diabetes. In addition to pain relief medication Sharon was taking 6 different tablets for her diabetes and was only one step away from being insulin dependent.

After just 3 weeks on the NuYu program Sharon’s blood sugar readings had dropped from an average of 12+ to 6 in the mornings and remained that way consistently. In addition the pain Sharon experienced from her back injury had reduced significantly which meant that she was able to perform more active duties such as house work and exercise.

Since returning home Sharon has continued using the NuYu lifestyle approach towards her eating and exercise and as a result has overcome her back injury to the point where it only causes minimal discomfort, has lost over 25kgs and reduced her diabetes medications from 6 tablets to just 1.

Sharon’s doctor advises that she will be off medication completely before Christmas if she continues following the plan.

Well done Sharon and congratulations on regaining your life back!

Jodie O'Brien – NuYu Full Retreat Lifestyle Experience

Dear Shaun, Gavin, Jordan & Lauren

7 weeks ago I came to NuYu and I was FAT. Today I walk out of here and I am still fat. THANKYOU!!

Why I am thanking you? Because to the physical world this may be true... for now. But what has happened here is that there has been a fundamental shift inside of me, not fully visible by the naked eye. The difference is, that I leave here as a fit & healthy human being. Believeing & feeling that that is who I am. That is why I am thanking you. Because all of you have taught me how to be this way. I have total faith that my body will soon replicate what I feel inside.

Thankyou for your patience, your caring, and your unconventional wackiness as you took me through the process.

I leave here refreshed energised, confident and ready...

They say 'like energy attracts'. I like you guys a lot, so see you all again very soon.  

Love and gratitude - Jodie O'Brien

 

Chris White – Nu-Life Day Stay Experience


I have just had the pleasure of attending NUYU Weight loss retreat for the past 10 weeks and achieved a weight loss of 28 kgs, as a result of this my blood pressure medication has been cut in half and will soon not be needed at all, for the first time in my life I have been given the tools I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Everything from correct exercise techniques to good nutrition and self development have gone a long way to making me feel good about myself and given me the confidence to continue my weight loss into the future.

Shaun and Gavin and the rest of the NUYU team were extremely generous of their time and patience and have changed my life for the better thank you so much,

Yours sincerely
Chris White


Sharon White – Nu-Life Day Stay Experience


To Shaun, Gavin and the rest of the NuYu team, I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for helping me kick start my get healthy journey.

I walked into NuYu on March 31st as an unhealthy, overweight, type 2 diabetic with chronic lower back & leg pain– I walked out 3 weeks later a different woman. I not only lost weight and noticed incredible changes to my health but learnt how to exercise safely, enjoyed the seminars on self development, nutrition etc. I actually loved everything about the program. It was positive, encouraging and most of all fun.

Now after a total of 10 weeks I am a NuMe having lost 15 kgs, so many centimetres I have lost count and best of all my blood sugar readings are always between 4.9 & 7.0. Amazin!. My doctor has halved the diabetic medication and says if I continue this lifestyle change I could be off the tablets altogether soon. My back is even heaps better. Yeah! I feel fit & well for the first time in years.

NuYu quite literally is my life saver and I will be forever grateful for the encouragement, care and respect you show me.

I wish you every success in all you do. Keep up the wonderful work.

Sharon White


Barbara Abbott – NuYu Full Retreat Lifestyle Experience


Wow what a program. I’ve tried all the diets and been to lots of health retreats before looking for that quick fix to my weight and health problem, but never did I get the results I was hoping for. Until now. I feel that NuYu has finally shown me how to live healthy and get the results I want and need. Most of all I am confident that I can sustain what I have learnt and will continue to become thinner and healthier.

 
Thank you to all the staff at NuYu, your support and encouragement is inspirational, your home accommodation is beautiful, and your program is the best I have ever experienced. Keep up the great work.

You are a special team of people – your patience alone is outstanding, and your ability to bring a group of vastly different personalities and fitness levels together and actually supporting each other is another reason why NuYu is so special. Thank you.

(1 week after program) Keep up the good work, it’s an excellent and much needed service you are providing and obviously with so much passion and enthusiasm.


(5 weeks after program) Just wanted to let you know that I am so happy with the changes you have helped me make to my life in just 5 (nearly) weeks I have only had a square of chocolate here and there not very often – big change from chocolate every day and I don’t even miss it. After a week of 2 dinners out (for my birthday and lunch with my friends finishing off with a weekend away for hubby’s Xmas party I have still managed to lose weight this week it is amazing how easy it is to put everything into practice and still enjoy myself without feeling deprived just by making good choices.

(7 months after program) I am doing great. I am near my goal weight and loving life. I have entered into a half marathon and am looking forward to the Sydney City to Surf, and am really enjoying my exercise, I feel that my food is well under my control again and I am never looking back ever again. Thank you to NuYu for kick starting this whole journey off for me.
