Kenyan actress Sandra Dacha has opened up about her incredible weight loss journey, revealing that she has shed a total of 17 kilograms since August 2023. The actress attributed her transformation to the use of Ozempic, a medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes but now increasingly being used for weight loss purposes.
Dacha’s journey began with a health scare. On October 5, 2023, she visited the hospital feeling unwell, where she was diagnosed with pneumonia. During the visit, a nurse advised her to focus on losing weight, as she had reached the stage of “greater morbid obesity,” a condition defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Dacha shared the nurse’s words humorously, noting that she had surpassed the threshold of obesity, a point where health risks become more severe.
Determined to take control of her health, Dacha decided to seek help, leading her to Dr. Arshni at @tiaclinicskenya. In August 2023, she began her weight loss journey with Ozempic, a weekly injection. Since then, she has lost an impressive 17 kilograms, reducing her weight from 152 kg to 135 kg in just four months, averaging a weight loss of 1 kilogram per week.
While Dacha is pleased with her progress, she acknowledges that the journey is far from over. Her goal is to return to her usual weight of around 115 to 123 kilograms, and she emphasizes the importance of patience in the process.
In her social media post, Sandra expressed her desire to share her weight loss journey earlier than planned, as many followers had already started noticing the changes in her appearance. Dacha, ever the entertainer, added a touch of humor, wondering if she was becoming too eager to talk about her progress.
Her weight loss journey serves as an inspiration to many, showing that with dedication, the right support, and patience, health and fitness goals can be achieved.
