Actress Melissa Ricks has been hard at work in achieving her fitness goals for 2020.
In an Instagram post on March 7, Melissa shared a before-and-after selfie and gave an update on her weight loss journey. The actress has been actively posting her workout videos on Instagram.
She said, “Sometimes, we forget to appreciate how far we have come. I always feel that my progress is slow, but you know what, slowly but surely. Sometimes, I fall off track but I try again.”
Melissa continued, “Self-love is tricky sometimes, it’s [a] struggle, it’s a process, it’s a journey. I’m still far from my goal but I feel great. From XXL to XL to almost large.”
She shared that she has also been using machines to help achieve her target weight, but above all, she said that proper diet and exercise are still important. She added, “It’s also good to see what works for us, what helps and aids in weight loss, helps gain back our confidence and gives us that boost of encouragement with visible results.”
She also encouraged others to keep going despite experiencing difficulties. Melissa said, “Hoping that I help others to feel great about themselves and encourage a healthier lifestyle. Keep going.”
Melissa currently appears in the action and drama series 24/7 on ABS-CBN which stars Julia Montes and Arjo Atayde.
