Popular Nollywood actress Ibironke Ojo- Anthony, popularly known as Ronke Oshodi-Oke, has expressed excitement as she loses weight drastically. She shared pictures of her on social media when she spoke about all she did to get her body wonderfully fit, aso Naija gathered.
However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress allayed the fears of those who thought she had health challenges. She said, “I am 100 percent fine and okay. But, I am on a weight loss journey for certain reasons. I would soon be 50 years old and I feel this is the proper time to lose weight. By the time, I am getting close to 60, I would continue adding weight. I had wanted to lose weight for a very long time. I had taken several weight loss pills, teas, and different products that help to shed weight but it didn’t work for me. I tried those for more than five years. Then, one day, I saw a product that works for me, and I grabbed the opportunity. When I started my weight loss journey, I weighed 110kg. Now, I am 87kg. My goal is 85kg. Once I get there, I would stop.

“I weighed 82kg in December but a lot of people complained that I was getting too thin, so I tried to fatten myself. That is why I am now 87kg. Some years back, my doctor in the United Kingdom told me that my weight was more than my height and when I returned to Nigeria, my doctor here confirmed it. I tried to exercise for one month. I was losing weight but with my job schedule, I could not cope with the exercise regimes. It is not easy to religiously exercise, especially since I had not always been a fitness-oriented person. Exercise is excellent if one can be dedicated. I admire actress, Kate Henshaw, in that regard.”
