Mikee Quintos says she was inspired to lose weight for her role in 'The Lost Recipe'

Mikee Quintos has been flaunting her figure through her bikini photos on Instagram.

In the media interview for the finale of "The Lost Recipe," the Kapuso actress said she was inspired to lose some weight for her role in the GTV series.

Mikee said she approached it with the mindset of proving something to herself rather than to other people.

"Mas nag-focus ako sa end goal and sa mindset ko, sa way ko ng perspective and on my way of seeing things na mas tinatanong ko bakit ko 'to gusto gawin why do I want to lose the weight," she said.

("I focused on my end goal and my mindset, my perspective and the way I see things, asking myself why I want to lose weight.")

Mikee said she didn't go into the technical stuff like scheduling workouts and planning her diets.

Rather, she wants to prove to herself that she can reach any goal as long as she puts her heart into it.

"Kapag mahal mo talaga yung isang bagay at mahal mo 'yung ginagawa mo you can reach anything, any goal whether it's about losing weight or getting to that emotion that you need to feel," she said.

("When you love something and you love what you do you can reach anything, any goal whether it's about losing weight or getting to that emotion that you need to feel.")

Mikee plays the role of Apple opposite Kelvin Miranda's Harvey in "The Lost Recipe." The show's final episode will air on March 31.
