I shed weight to wed and just kept going!

Renee’s goal was to lose 34kg by her wedding day. And now she’s hit that figure out of the park.

When Renee Wolfe’s children were disappointed she couldn’t join them on the rides at a water park due to her 134kg frame, she laughed it off.

Later at home, though, going over photos of the day, the 37-year-old says, “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that was me, but it was!” Soon after that revelation came a life-changing moment in the form of a marriage proposal from Peter, her partner of 17 years.

Because of a lack of confidence, the nurse from Bateman’s Bay in NSW says she had “never imagined walking down the aisle”. Suddenly that all changed: “I had a wedding to look forward to!”

With thoughts of her big day giving her a serious injection of motivation, she joined a gym and The Biggest Loser Club. It was tough. She was sometimes too sore after exercising to roll over in bed, but there were important pay-offs.
