Celebrity mom Melissa Ricks has shared her weight loss journey, serving as an inspiration to her fans and fellow celebrities.
On her Instagram account, Melissa posted a before-and-after photo of herself in her workout clothes, expressing gratitude to her doctor for helping her lose 21 pounds in two months.
"Sabi nga ni Doc, ‘Long way to go,’ but it’s reachable. This is for me, for my kids, and for my wellbeing.” Melissa wrote in her post.
(Just like what my doctor said, 'Long way to go,' but it's reachable. This for me, for my kids, and for my wellbeing.)
"It takes alot of discipline and guidance, (wag matigas ulo😅) kailangan you have your mind made up na kaya mo.. at KAYA mo naman talaga," she added.
(It takes a lot of discipline and guidance, (don't be stubborn) you need to have your mind made up that you can do it.. and you really can)
Melissa went on to emphasize that although hitting her old weight of 100 pounds is no longer “an attainable and realistic goal,” she and her doctor had established a “possible and doable goal.”
Her post was filled with overflowing support and compliments from her fans and celebrities including fellow moms Michelle Madrigal, Aubrey Miles, and Yasmien Kurdi.
Melissa is a mother of two kids, Mikaela and Kiara. Mikaela is the actress's daughter with her non-showbiz husband Michael Macatangay, and Kiara is shared with her ex-partner Charles Togezaki.
