Nollywood Yoruba Actress, Ibironke Ojo- Anthony, popularly known as Ronke Oshodi-Oke, has broken her silence on her incredible weight loss.

The movie star had sparked concern among her fans earlier this week when she showed off her newly trim figure in pictures posted on her social media page.

However, in a recent chat with Punch, the movie star revealed that her drastic weight loss was birthed out of the need to become healthy. She disclosed that her weight loss journey wasn’t an easy one as she had been taking weight loss pills for over five years until she came across a product that worked for her. The actress also revealed that her target weight goal is 85kg.

“I am 100 per cent 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 appropriate 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,” Ronke said.

“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.

“As a matter of fact, 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.”

Ronke further disclosed that contrary to what people might think, she wasn’t pressured to lose weight in any way.

“I have never been pressured to lose weight. My mum is also complaining about my weight loss but it is a personal decision. I have always been on the big side and losing weight has nothing to do with my job,” she added.

“Being chubby is fine but being too fat is not good. It is not advisable for one to be big when one is over 45 years old. Some sicknesses may start disturbing one later in life, though that does not exclude slim women in that age bracket.

“If one is big, one has to be careful with one’s weight. I know that I may gain more weight when I am older but if I control it early, it would be relatively be easier for me then. Now that I am still active, I should be deliberate about my weight, rather than when I am not active anymore. I am just planning for my future.”
