Philicity Reeken, the vivacious co-host for Jacaranda FMs Breakfast Show, has been on an admirable weight loss journey that has seen her drop 35kg in the last year. Reeken details to Sowetan how a severe health scare resulted in a lifestyle change.
Sowetan: What initially motivated you to begin your weight-loss journey?
Philicity Reeken: My weight-loss journey was motivated by my health and mobility. I have very damaged knees and my weight was hindering my ability to live the life I wanted to. I was also really inflamed and was concerned about things like high blood pressure and other lifestyle-related issues.
