“Who would ever thought that this 198 lbs. mom of [two] will ever come to this point that [I’m] the one sharing [to] people how [I’ve] done it? I never imagined it really… Thank you for all the wonderful write ups about my weight loss journey… [It’s] never easy, nothing comes easy.

Being fit and healthy is a choice that you make, especially when you live in a world full of judgment… What made me do this? I’m loving myself more now. I did this before I turned 40. What could be a better gift to yourself than loving [yourself]? I didn’t do it for anybody else. [It’s] for ME ME ME. And the reward was for me too,” she noted.
She reminded her followers that they can achieve what she has and encouraged them to work towards their best selves. She also promised to share tips through the hashtag #aikosweightlossjourney.
“[It’s] never too late… With prayers and [a] goal, you too can do it. God bless everyone on their journey to a healthy you. Remember you only have one body so embrace it, and love it the best way you can… No matter which way you do, if it benefits you, then do it,” she concluded.
