Ruth’s background holds a lot of answers to why she has become overweight. Her contradiction-filled life is a series of blessings and hardships. Although she is happily married and has three children, she only gets to see her husband once in a while and two of her children had to undergo heart surgery. The stress and hardships that shaped Ruth’s life enabled her to develop a tough and stress resistant personality, so she has exactly what it takes to achieve her goal and shed some serious kilos.

With a starting weight of 155kg and a current weight that is 135kg, Ruth is aiming for about 85kg. The 28-year-old mother and wife will not consider failure as an option, as she realises that a healthier and more energetic Ruth would also improve her personal life and that of the people she loves. The attitude that helped her get through the serious obstacles in her life still accompanies her here today, and few people are as determined as she is when it comes to achieving a goal.
