Media personality Sol Phenduka has begun his weight loss journey.
The Kaya 959 and Podcast & Chill host recently revealed he was looking to transform his body by pursuing a healthier lifestyle.
“About to embark on this weight loss journey again. In five months time please don't I am sick (ningathi ngiyasika). It's deliberate,”
He's been candid about his health venture with his fans, sharing old images of himself.
“I’m actually very very heavy. Even people who look more rotund than me way less. Here I weighed 110kg ... Naturally I’m heavy. So I always weigh heavier than I look. Even when slimmer.”
Giving an update on Wednesday, Sol revealed he went from weighing 147kg on March 14 to 142kg.
Sol added his new outlook on health was inspired by him wanting to live a longer life for his daughter.
“I don’t feel insecure. Being overly obese is unhealthy. I have a four-year-old daughter. I don’t want to die because of lifestyle choices and things I can avoid. I need at least 30 more years on this earth . This body is the only one I have. Health is wealth.”
