My Story

Losing weight has always been a challenge for me. I've made several attempts in the last couple of years but ended up failing or gaining back again the lost pounds plus more. I love food so much that my weight was never fit for my age nor height. Exercise and sports, on the other hand, were never my thing.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic started and tested all of us in so many ways. Me, being stuck at home for almost a year, decided to take my love for food to the next level. I learned to cook and bake my fave dishes, signed up in various online food groups etc. And without realizing it, after a year in quarantine, I was at my heaviest - at 220 lbs! (220 in 2020 ang peg). January this year, I decided that I want to live a healthier life (afraid that I might get the virus too). I want to give my body the care she deserves. I want to feel good and confident. I want to continue doing the work that I do. I want to live longer. 

And so my weight loss journey began on January 14, 2021. After two months and two weeks of healthy diet and regular exercise, I lost 33 lbs. and is now down to 187 lbs! See photos in the gallery taken 14th of Jan., Feb. and Mar. My initial target (at least for this fundraiser) is to lose 50 lbs. until May 2021. Join me in this journey to being fit and fab. I will update this page for my progress.

I am hoping that this journey could be more than a personal weight loss challenge. So I decided to start a fundraiser for the benefit of Save the Children Philippines. For every pound shed, is a life changed. I hope to raise Php 500 for every pound I shed or a total of Php 25,000. This can provide 25 children with learning kits or 20 families with hygiene kits.  To learn more about Save the Children, please visit Save the Children Philippines | Facebook

Thank you for your generosity. Let's all be healthy and safe!
