HOUR GLASS FIGURE!!! |
She posted...
''Last night all dolled up for @bammybestowed’s dirty 3️⃣0️⃣ In other news, I’m almost back to my ‘pre-King Of Boys’ weight. π€
This is particularly huge for me, because at the time I chose to put on weight for the project, I was honestly very afraid about my ability to lose the weight again.
I love food, so staying in shape already took a lot of effort. I had to learn a lot of self discipline to be able to control my portions when I eat, make healthy food choices and make exercise a lifestyle.
I hate working out, but I choose to see it as a job requirement.
Staying in shape and trying to keep your body at its peak is definitely always a plus on movie sets, that a lot of the time can be quite physically taxing.
But I committed myself to it for the love of the craft and I made a promise to myself to be disciplined and lose the weight after no matter how hard it was or how long it took.
I told myself “just set the goal and achieve it Toni, accept no excuses, if you fall off the wagon, just make sure you get back on”
I also chose to lose the weight in a healthy way, no fad diets, I’ve done them before and the weight loss was never sustainable. I was only able to do that when I adopted a healthier lifestyle.
Yes it takes much longer, but the results also stay much longer!
I went from 58kg to 76kg
That’s 40pounds/18kg.
I lost 9kg by the premiere 8 months later and gone done to 67kg.
And today, 6 months after the premiere, I got on scale and I’ve lost another 7kg. Now weighing 60kg and I don’t know how to act about it. I’m so excited π€π€π€ I’m just 2kg away from my goal of my original 58kg. ππ½ππ½ππ½ But I will continue to take it slow and steady till reach my goal.
A lot of my life I’ve been told I couldn’t and shouldn’t do many things, acting was one of them, I never listened, I always let my fear and self doubt fuel me, and I’m happy I did. being able to put my mind to this and achieve this is so important to me, because it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, it also took a toll on me psychologically, I had never been that size before, my face was much chubbier, my hands were so big
my arms were so big, I couldn’t wear a lot of my old clothes. Everyone I ran into would comment on how much weight I’d ‘ put on’ π (PS: Nigerians, this is not a greeting π) fans would message me that I was becoming too big.
I had to constantly affirm myself and strengthen my belief that I was beautiful at any size.
I when I ran into people, sometimes I would feel the need to bring it up before they did, to lessen the sting. I had to constantly remind myself that I didn’t have to apologize for my weight.
My butt was soooooo massive (that was a plus sha π, I got to experience what y’all big booty ladies had been experiencing in terms of male attention, and All i’ll say is, y’all are enjoying o! You can’t move without men jumping, I honestly found it weird at first, yes I got attention from guys previously, but it quadrupled. It actually became overwhelming at a point because you’ll be talking to someone and they’ll just be staring at your boobs (yes those blew up too π) and it became really annoying π sometimes offensive.
I’m glad my little ol’ booty and my reasonably sized boobs are back. it was an interesting experience, But let me go back to my lane please... that’s the level my energy reach)
But to finally be close to my goal, so to actually be here is such an amazing feeling. Considering how afraid I was.
It took 15 months, but I did it. I put on weight for a role, gave the role my heart and soul and lost the weight after. I’ve never been more motivated than I can achieve anything I put my mind to.
Always remember, you can do whatever you put your mind to, for Anyone that has been struggling with weight loss, if I can do it, anybody can!!! Feel free to DM me for tips from my routine for losing it.
I’ve attached two photos of me ‘before king of boys’ and two photos of me after I’d put on the weight for it.
As you can see, I’m not exactly where I was, but I’m almost there π 2 kilos more, let’s go πͺπΎ Love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️
I couldnt see any weight gain photos oh.......Toni is just so beautiful with the right curves at the right places......
Is that what made her to wear champe and without bra?
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't have hips like that o. She just knows the right angles for pictures. In fact, she is straight as par hips! But a good actor nonetheless
Delete18kg me? It doesn't look like she gained 18kg
DeleteShe looked better with the weight gain.
Perky boobs is all I see
DeleteJust what I was saying while looking at the pictures @Lafresh. I saw my lepa pictures only head remain. I love my curves biko. I wish I could maintain a flat tummy without workouts.
DeleteLooks like Mercy Johnson in the second picture. Nice curves though with an okay face. Wish I can lose 18kg, chai!
DeleteIs just the breast that reduced ππππ.
ReplyDeleteSDK,she is beautiful,but not too beautiful,and in the first photo she looks sick,anyway,what do i know.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous lady but the boob job issa no.
ReplyDeleteShe looked better with the weight,, she looks kike someone suffering from a disease
ReplyDeleteWith no meat on the body.
Stella she had gained in the black trouser and in the red/wine outfit and she looked tons better to me o. She looked prettier with curves.
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful even with the weight gain, both looks good on her. I have gained weight too from size 57 to 60 but i keep wondering why my ass isn't adding although Boo said it has added a little and in softness. I may be forced to do something bad
ReplyDeleteWhat weight gain? She mostly added it in her boobs. Maybe she’s the type that carries weight gain nicely. I no even see hips like that.
ReplyDeleteWaist still trim, stomach still flat. π€·π½♀️
Oh lawd! See Nips! Nipsy osu π’π
ReplyDeleteKelvin Dat Edo Boi (Stellz Cousin)
I hope she doesn't give herself an illness. I'm not sure what she's seeing in the first pic cos she actually looks ill there. Only God knows what she'll do if she gets pregnant and adds weight.
ReplyDeleteShe looks better with the weight oh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I lost 15kg in less than 2months, should I do my own epistle??
You dey do advert?
DeleteHaba babe! 15kg in less than 2 months without surgery involved? Make una they take am easy na, business go still sell.

DeleteIt’s not impossible with strict diet and exercise you can
DeleteStella you are right, she have killer curves
ReplyDeleteShe looks better with some flesh on . Her face to dry in d first pix
ReplyDeleteI prefer the before picture mbok. The weight loss makes her look sickly.
ReplyDeleteI prefer her look in the 'weight gain' photos.. Meanwhile, she should come let me show her the meaning of weight gain. But I don't blame her for wanting to stay skinny, there is just so much you can get away with being skinny. From wearing the tiniest dresses to having ice cream three days in a row.
ReplyDeleteShe might just start selling slimming tea all of a sudden or become and ambassador for a slimming tea company. And gullible people will buy.
ReplyDeleteOk I think she exaggerated the weight gain thing alil too much. I was expecting to see a Nikki kinda butt.ππ
ReplyDeleteIs it not the same party some people wore pant and bra to?
ReplyDeleteI prefer her with some flesh.
ReplyDeleteY'all saying you prefer her with the weight are the problem shishhh. She likes to be skinny leave her like that. And yes she added a lot of weight from what I see. 18kg is a lot.
ReplyDeleteShe looks good either way.
I don't even know her,i don't watch Nigeian Cinema movies,they are usually boring,just big big English nothing interesting.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteSo what nexus does your comment have with the above topic of discussion?
DeleteShe looks prettier and better with the flesh abeg
ReplyDeleteShe looks more prettier with the flesh to me
ReplyDeleteWhat I know is that me iyaff gained weight and I am enjoying it. Just my waistline that's abit wider.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, i prefer her thicker.
ReplyDeleteI think she visited the doctor's too!!
Funny enough I think she looks better with the weight on than off....
ReplyDeleteI weigh 86kg at 5'3 still I don't see myself as big...I carry all my weight on my buttππ
ReplyDeleteYou are big oh, 86kg is much for your height. Try and bring it down to 78kg.

DeleteLooks miles better with the weight gain! Incomparably better
