US-based Ghanaian actress Serwaa Opoku Add has resurfaced on social media with a brand new look.

According to an inscription on the first slide, she had reduced from 235 pounds (106.5kg) to 170 pounds (77.1kg)
Sharing the photo, Opoku Addo, who recently landed a job with BMW/Rolls-Royce, indicated that it had taken her one year to reach her current weight. She thus urged her followers to continue in their pursuits for their life’s journeys.
“A year ago, I made a decision — to put myself first. To stop making excuses and start becoming the woman I’ve always envisioned. I focused on my health, my finances, my mindset, and my spiritual growth. I became intentional about my life.
“One year later, the results speak for themselves. I’m not just transformed physically — I’m transformed mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’m more confident, more disciplined, and more at peace.
“So if you’re on your own journey, remember this: every step counts, every choice matters, and every bit of effort adds up. Stay consistent. Stay focused. Your future self will thank you. 💪🏽✨,” she said.

Too much focus on body brings pressure
In an exclusive chat with YEN.com.gh, mental health expert Counsellor Seyram Avotri shared his opinion on how public attention on a media figure’s weight loss impacts their mental health and self-image.
“Public attention on a media figure’s weight loss can have both empowering and challenging effects on their mental health and self-image. In a body-conscious society like Ghana, where appearance often influences public perception and professional opportunities, such transformations tend to attract heightened scrutiny.
Positive feedback may boost confidence and affirm personal goals, but excessive commentary, whether praise or criticism, can place undue pressure on the individual to maintain or justify their new look,” he said.
