Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has opened up about her remarkable weight loss journey, revealing that she has shed 87kg over the past five years.

In a heartfelt post on Instagram, the actress disclosed that she weighed 170kg five years ago but now weighs 83kg. According to her, the transformation was the result of years of discipline, sacrifice, consistency, and prioritising her health.

Despite achieving one of the biggest milestones of her life, Badmus said she continues to face body shaming, just as she did when she was plus-size.

“Five years ago, I weighed 170KG. Today, in 2026, I weigh 83KG. That didn’t happen overnight. It took years of discipline, sacrifice, pain, consistency, tears, setbacks, and choosing my health every single day.

“It has been one of the hardest journeys of my life, and I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come. But here’s what breaks my heart… The same people who body-shamed me when I was plus-size are the same people body-shaming me now that I’ve lost the weight. What exactly do you want from me?”

The actress explained that losing nearly 90kg naturally affected her skin and urged critics to be more understanding rather than focusing on her appearance.

She also appealed to women to support one another instead of engaging in body shaming.

“Nobody deserves to be bullied for being plus-size, and nobody deserves to be bullied for losing weight either. I’m proud of my journey. I’m still growing, still healing, and still becoming the best version of myself. You don’t have to love my body, but you can choose to respect it. Be kind. Always.”
