We wanted all the details- her weight loss secrets, fitness motivation, exercise and conditioning routine, food and nutrition. She sweetly agreed to grant us an interview where she would tell it all.

Read on to become to know the daughter backside the pictures.

Your name, Ufa Dania is lovely. Is it your birthname or a social media variation?

My birthname, cheers.

You're welcome.

Where are you lot from and where did you lot grow up?

I am from Edo State. I grew up in Kaduna merely moved to abuja when I was in my early teens.

What exercise y'all do for a living?

I am a pupil in AUN, kickoff yr.

Oh nice. What are y'all studying?

Telecoms Engineering but I'thousand transfering University of North Texas to first a major in Electric Engineering.

That'southward awesome. Congratulations!

(Laughs) thank you!

Now, to the tweet that set Twitter on fire…

How did you manage to lose so much weight?

What first set me on fire may audio petty but… I graduated and had my prom in 2016. On January 2022 I was playing around one mean solar day and tried on my prom apparel. I was already large as it was just I couldn't fit in the apparel anymore, meaning I became super sized.

That was my wake-up phone call.

All my life I've been struggling with weight. Each yr I give a resolution. After ii weeks the resolution gives it back to me.

I never kept to my goals, simply that 2022 I don't know what simply happened. I became serious. I told my parents that I didn't desire to go to university yet. That they should requite me a year to work on myself because all my life I've ever been the biggest kid in the class and the whole school, getting picked on by teachers and students. I didn't want a repeat of just antisocial my loftier school feel again in uni, then I enrolled in a gym.

I did all my research myself, never consulted anyone about what to eat cause I've tried diet before and failed. So I merely stuck to reducing my food intake and eliminating some things completely.

"…all my life I've e'er been the biggest kid in the class…"

So you took a twelvemonth off to piece of work on yourself. That's quite some determination.

Was at that place whatsoever signal where y'all lost motivation? And what kept you lot going?

Not really no, I did non.

But I also felt discouraged because after 1 calendar month the differences weren't as much as I expected. But a friend spoke to me and told me I should be realistic with myself, that even though I may start to lose weight, my eyes may not be open to it.

It was from month iii that information technology happened magically. It was simply like yesterday I was size 22 and today I'yard merely realising I'k now a size 18/sixteen.

Did y'all go any negative vibes from family unit and friends? People telling  y'all it can't be done?

When I first started, I never told anyone about my journeying asides my family and my all-time friend, because I too was sceptical at first. What if I told people I'm working out and i don't see changes? Then I kept it to myself.

My family is absolutely supportive.

Aww… Information technology helps to accept a support base, doesn't it?

Information technology does definitely. Cause even when you feel you're non achieving they encourage yous and tell you they come across it, fifty-fifty if they don't.

Were you ever ridiculed or disadvantaged considering of your size?

Absolutely! Especially when I lived in Kaduna. So many terrible insults, people remember you lot don't accept feelings.

Sorry you had to go through that. It's distressing that overweight people are often targets of bullying and mean words.

Would you want to pursue a career in coaching other people to lose weight? Are you working on any such projection now?

Yes I would, but something at the side. I coach people at my gym now and it'south amazing. Just having to workout that oft, at a bespeak y'all grow to honey it.

Do yous do information technology for free or you run a paid program?

For people around me, that is, my mom, sister, bestfriend it's for free. Only other people get a paid program

How long did it have you to get to your current size?

But a year. Infact at six months I was already the size I wanted to exist. So what I do now is lift weights and build muscle to tone.

"…At 6 months, I was already the size I wanted to be…"

Okay, then your workouts at present are basically to tone and maintain your current weight.

Is in that location anything you lot miss nigh being your quondam size?

Do yous have any advice for others looking to lose weight?

Non and so much to say. I'd just tell them that in that location is no "secret" to losing weight cause I've been getting a lot of messages asking what the clandestine is.
In that location'due south no hugger-mugger. Every thing you've always heard- do and eat right is all you need. Discipline adds a divergence and knowing what you're working for.

"…annihilation you put your mind to, yous'd always achieve it."

I besides went online searching for weight loss stories of people with my kind of my torso then and their afterward pictures. Seeing what they accomplished prompted to keep going because I knew that anything you put your heed to, you'd always reach it. A basic constabulary.

Alright! Cheers a lot for this interview, Ufa.
