Biggest Loser South Africa Winner

What a fabulous finale! I was rooting for Sharon, and lo and behold she did it!! Did a double take this evening, cause she looked so pretty (like a doll) and lovely and slim! Would be interesting to know if anybody knows what the time frame was for losing the 61kg’s….in the time that she was at home after being in the Biggest Loser house, she was doing a serious amount of training with her trainer. If anybody knows how long it took her to lose the weight, please let me know, thnx

Sharon, you look amazing!!!! I knew you could do it.

Sharon, you look wonderful. you really showed those guys how strong you are. thank you for making me realise that if you want something so badly nothing can stop you from it.

Well done Sharon! Girl power rocks and rules. You can now wipe your tears with R250 000.00.
God luck and keep it up.

WOW Sharon! You’ve showed so many of us women out there that losing weight IS difficult - yet possible! Thank you and well done to you! You are truly inspirational! You are my idol!!! You look absolutely ravishing!!!!!

Congratulations Sharon! I am so proud of you! You motivated me to loose some weight as well. Every monday I would start and by Wednesday I would think Ag this is to hard I am just going to leave it. Could you (or anyone who can help me) please contact me and give me some tips and ideas?

Well done Sharon!-What a brilliant and motivating achievement.I started my diet on the Monday you won and I am not turning back cause now I know that’It is possible’.Thank you for the inspiration.
Please may you provide us with advise on the type of diet to maintain and which type of excercise works more effectively ie the weights and circuits or the aerobics and cardiovascular.

Hi Tapiwa,

You asked about what diet and exercise is the most effective and here is my advice about the best methods to use in the best order:
1). Correct Nutrition
2). Resistance Training
3). High Intensity Cardio
4). Low intensity Cardio

Let me explain the above:
1). Nutrition - focus on the strategies below while making healthier choices:
- increase meal frequency (4-6 meals per day)
- have a regular, consistent meal time
- lower carbohydrate intake, with an increase in protein
- moderately reduce calories

2). Resistance (weight) training - this should be your first choice and if you have 3 or less hours per week to train then I would only use resistance training during that time

3). High intensity cardio (or interval training) - alternating bouts of fast and slow cardio (eg. 1 minute fast, 2 minutes slow) for 4-6 intervals is the most effective cardio for weight loss. If you have 4-6 hours a week to train then I would add interval in addition to your resistance training.

4). Low intensity cardio is always my last choice for weight loss. It is the least effective method (as compared to resistance training and high intensity cardio). If you have more than 6 hours per week to exercise, then I may add some steady state cardio. The only other time to use this method is to get fit enough so that you can perform higher intensity cardio.

I hope that helps!

Hi Sharon!

I would really love to talk to you about eating and exercising.

I really need to loose about 30kg’s and I am a total failure at trying to loose weight.

Please contact me at annelie07@webmail.co.za as there is no email address on your post.

Thank You

Annelie

CONGRAttLULATONS DEAR SHARON ! You’ve made it ! Unbeliveable how much weight you’ve lost in such short time !
I am also a total failure at trying to loose weight, as Annelie is, but, considering that you and I may have some things in common (for eg., I weight now as much as you did 11 weeks ago :(( I would kindly ask you to contact me at kinetica@usa.com in order to exchange a few thoughts with me. It would mean soooo very much to me in my new attempt to loose weight! Thanks a lot and stay fit and sexy as U are right now. Congratulations again !

Jy gee duisende vroue wat soos ou Sharon gelyk het nuwe hoop…ek is beslis een van hulle. Sal baie graag meer omtrent jou eet program wil uitvind.

Hi everyone.

It would be alot easier to communicate with you one on one, so my email is sharon.haarhoff@gmail.com

I am inspired!!!
I’m working hard and slowly getting there.
I just wish they could do Biggest Loser SA Teen.
If they target the teens then mayb we would have less adults that have a weight problem.

Yhank you for inspireing the women of South Africa we need real hero’s like you..
