Her Weight-Loss Journey
Kalekye revealed that her journey was medically supervised from the beginning, with a team of professionals helping her navigate the process.
The team included an endocrinologist and weight-loss specialist, a nutritionist and a fitness instructor.
According to the media personality, the professionals helped her understand her body, nutrition, movement and the changes she was experiencing throughout the journey.
Kalekye also disclosed that she began her weight-loss journey using a GLP-1 treatment.
However, she made it clear that her transformation was not an overnight process and that there were moments when she struggled to see progress.
She described the journey as having good days, frustrating days and moments when she questioned whether she was getting anywhere.
Despite the challenges, Kalekye said she continued with the process.
Kalekye Changes Her Focus
As her journey progressed, Kalekye said her focus gradually moved beyond simply watching the number on the weighing scale.
Instead, she began celebrating other changes, including feeling better, moving better and making healthier choices.
She also said the process helped her recognise herself again.
After reaching 73.9kg, Kalekye was able to look at her before-and-after pictures and appreciate the progress she had made.
The media personality has previously been open about her relationship with weight and body image, making her latest update particularly significant to followers who have watched her journey over the years.Kalekye Mumo // Instagram
A Personal Journey
While sharing details of her transformation, Kalekye was careful to point out that her experience should not be treated as a solution for everyone.
She emphasised that weight-loss journeys can look different from one person to another and encouraged people to seek appropriate professional guidance when making decisions about their health.
