Getting kicked out of the wedding entourage jump-started this woman's fitness journey

Sarie Santiago admits that she has been chubby since childhood. At her heaviest, she weighed 194 lbs.

She was supposed to be a bridesmaid for her friend's wedding last year. But because of her weight, the gown they were supposed to wear did not fit. A day before the wedding, she was removed from the entourage.

This is what motivated her to lose weight and be healthier.

"Daily, gumigising po ako ng 7:00 in the morning. Nilalakad ko po papunta sa gym--siguro po mga 45 minutes walk po. Pagdating ko sa gym, nagsi-circuits po ako," Sarie shares.

Aside from regular circuit training at the gym, she also switched to a healthier diet. She gave up pork and rice. She also practices intermittent fasting.

Thanks to her discipline, Sarie now weighs 127 lbs.
